Why is everyone raising their predictions for Pikachu? Did I miss something?

 

Nothing changed. That 50 million dollar tracking number was never good to begin with 

[Nova]

Honestly @Porthos maybe cause its late at night but I got a kick out of all the * in your updates and how you bold the "use with with caution." 

 

Like a commercial for a drug that lists off side effects at the speed of light.

The movie hasn't opened yet so this statement makes zero sense.

Tracking made no sense doing 50 million 

 

i know it’s easy to say wait for movie to release and when it surpasses whatever low ball number they gave and be happy 

 

That 50 million Number will never make sense to me. I guess we will know for sure Thursday

Now you see, that's just tempting me to leave little easter egg messages in there to see if folks are actually reading them or not.

@Porthos would you agree with me that today's a really good sign for DP?

It doesn’t have to make sense to you. None of us can say that number is right or wrong until the movie opens up.

For your market?  Sure.

 

For Sacramento area?  I probably would have liked to see about 25 to 50 more ticket sales region wide, honestly.  Though it could just be that it did pretty well the last few days.

 

Not to overstate it, but I was slightly underwhelmed by local numbers.  Mostly because I didn't see an increase over the last couple of days.  All part of that ramp up I mentioned last night.

 

But, hey, random variation.  It had pretty strong sales a couple of days ago so maybe it was doing better than expected those days.

 

Wish I could say something different.  And please don't over-read what I'm saying.  Just would have liked to see some increase over the last couple of days iz all.

That's fair, maybe tomorrow'll pick up, we'll see.

Indeed. 80 million doesn't make any sense based on these numbers either.

 

Let's say at least until previews before crying about tracking numbers. Sticking with 65

 

Not suggesting these are bad numbers imo, it's picking up nicely. Just isn't setting the world on fire either.

The middle ground of 80 and 50 is 65 million 

 

so I guess that’s good number to have until Thursday

I think so as well.

Pretty much my thinking as well.

[YM!]

Out of curiousity do you think tickets for Far From Home will interfere with ticket sales today?

[Nova]

I think the tracker broke again. 

[Minnale101]

With Spider-Man starting pre sales today. 

 

Please don’t crash again fandango pluse 🤣

Pretty sure it already crashed before they went on sale. There’s been no 8AM update. Will see if it comes back up though
