The Box Office Buzz and Tracking Thread: Electric Boogaloo

I was looking at showtimes for tomorrow because I want to see something, and Jesus Christ: DM3 has sold next to nothing for tomorrow at my theater.

Nope. If I see it, I won't for another couple weeks.

AMC is usually a lot more anal about 3D showings than other chains. Like, Disney Springs was still showing GOTG in 3D the other week (they still might be), yet Regal Waterford Lakes (which appears on RTH's top engagement chart every now and then) normally only has one 3D showing in the first couple weeks. Locally, the theater 20 minutes away from me that's independently owned has 4 3D projectors and normally has 3D showings until a film's run is over or more movies in 3D release. The other two theaters from the same owner only have one 3D projector and usually get rid of 3D after 2 weeks.

The movies that get one 3D show at around 6-7 PM here on the first week drop it on the 2nd week. In the theater near me, from the last few big movies, only PotC5, WW and TF5 got one 3D show on OW. Mummy, Captain Underpants, King Arthur and DM3 didn't even get one at all. I am guessing Spider-Man will get one at around 6:30 PM.

 

Nobody is paying for 3D here anymore. If theaters force it, people simply won't show up.

Actually your theater isn't alone. The matinees for Wednesday look like shit. North Shore Cinema has sold only 2 seats each for the Ultrascreen showing at 12:30 and 4:30, and 2 each for 1:30 and 3:45. Even the 10:30 one only sold 3 seats.

lmao, my theater is giving a huuuuuuuuuuge middle finger to those who don't have tickets already for SMH this weekend. A fair amount of the 2D showings in the biggest auditorium already have a lot of seats sold for this weekend, and there's only one other 2D showing that isn't on that screen.

This doesn't bode well for Homecoming does it?

idk why people are thinking SMH is headed to 120-130+ when nothing we've seen seems to indicate that. o/u 100 seems to be where it's at, which should be great considering it'll likely have solid legs.

When The Mummy and Cars 3 opened, some theaters were doing 3D only!  I was like WTF.  I was following those theaters on Fandango and 3D always sells like crap.  Actually I have kept watch on some reserved seating theaters around my area and it seems like people protest 3D by purchasing the later 2D shows.  So I was baffled when I saw Mummy going 3D only and then the week after Cars was having its share (but not as bad)

[dxmatrixdt]

for Spider-Man I think I am going to go 100M + Previews, so like 116.

Looks really good for SM

[grim22]

Presales updates from our source. 

 

At at this point, why am I even bothering. Again SMH presales are basically mirroring WW presales. About 100k higher than Wondy currently which is basically a 3% difference  

 

These 2 movies have had presales go in lockstep since the first update was provided.

Would Spider-Man have more walk ups than D.C. Movies ?

The pre-sales for Thur in NYC indicate that or higher.  Right now it's pacing ahead of SS here and that had those free preview tickets and had a very front loaded w/e.  It already has more showings scheduled on Tues than WW had by Thur.  It's also tracking around SS preview numbers in a couple of other East Coast markets.

 

Social Media numbers are also huge

[YM!]

Note: when WW final tracking came in at 82% of SS, it translated to a $110M OW however since it opened on NBA finals which may have deflated its OW. $110M OW can happen for Spidey.

WW was one of the more backloaded on OW movies. The OW to previews ratio it had was way higher than most SH movies get, so I think it was pretty walkups friendly itself.

Also having NBA finals on OD may have deflated the OW too.

I think that had as much or more to do with it being more female skewing than most SH, especially toward older women who tend to buy tickets in advance more and not necessarily for opening day, pre-sales could have spread more over the w/e and the days or w/end after.  Like Beauty & The Beast which had higher pre-sales than CW.

So 100-110m seems right

I'm gonna stick with my higher number until reality proves me wrong:)...$131M or bust (or at least $118M so I can win my 1st Casino bet:)...

 

Tomato Law is gonna work...or I blame CJohn:)...
