Posted by Porthos,

Really depends on what you're looking for, but usually the most important takeaway for just a casual glance is the comp.  More on that in a bit.   But even that is highly dependent on a movie being either in a similar genre or having a similar pre-sale pattern as folks will buy tickets at different times during a pre-sale window thanks to a very long list of factors.   Add in that movies will have different promotional schedules during their pre-sales (review embargoes, TV ca

MODERATION:   Hi, everyone. It’s 6 o’clock in the morning. I have not gone to bed yet. And I am tired. And I know it’s going to be a very long weekend. Here is the new rule.   This thread is for numbers and data. Please post your theater updates. Please post your comparable data. And please talk about that comparable data here.    If you wish to do a deep dive on why you think that data might or might not suck, then take it to the respective thread of the movie in ques

Still don’t have a clue how to interpret FFH’s sales in terms of translating to the 6-day or 3-day 😅   

 

@stfletch, you’re like the Pulse archmagus, will we at some point be able to see a breakdown between midnights, true Tues, W, Th, F, S,S? If so, around when would that be?

The Amazing Spider-Man had a $137M 6-Day, while Transformers had a $155.4M 6-Day. Of course, inflation and new previews era (though technically Transformers did have 8PM previews, and TASM had Monday previews in Canada only for some reason), but there is a connection here.

Pulse today 8:35-8:49 EST:

John Wick 3: 161/15 – yesterday 89/15, up 81%; Hellboy (12.0M OW) had 29/15, Cold Pursuit (11.0M OW) had 27/15, Glass (40.3M OW) 113/15, Hunter Killer (6.7M OW) 12/15, Us (71.1M OW, presales-heavy) 230/15, all same day and time of the day.
A Dog's Journey: 10/15 – yesterday 3/15; Wonder Park (15.9M OW) had 24/15 at that time, Instant Family 13/15.
The Sun Is Also a Star: 5/15 – yesterday 1/15; After (6.0M OW) had 18/15 at that time on Wednesday, Five Feet Apart (13.2M OW) had 23/15 on Thursday.

Aladdin: 21/15 – yesterday 15/15
GKotM: 7/15 – yesterday 11/15

And Pulse 11:05-11:19 EST (so 15 minutes too late):

 

JW3: 245/15 – yesterday it were 128/15, up 91%; Hellboy had 28/15, Cold Pursuit 25/15, Glass 156/15, Hunter Killer 19/15, Us 386/15, all same day and time of the day. That's very good of course, only the comparison with Us would at the moment mean „only“ 45M OW.

A Dog's Journey: 14/15 – yesterday 8/15; Instant Family had at that time on Wednesday 14/15 too.
The Sun Is Also a Star: 5/15 – yesterday 3/15; After had at that time on Wednesday 21/15, Five Feet Apart had 48/15 on Thursday.

Aladdin: 36/15 – yesterday 22/15
GKotM: 15/15 – yesterday 16/15
 

PS: Saw the first sold ticket for Ma.

My theater has had showtimes listed for Ma for the past day or 2 (or 3?), but tickets are not available for purchase. Go figure.

Final count of today, only Thursdays-

Godzilla: KoTM-95 (+6), 8 screenings (3 IMAX, 3 3D, 2 Regular)

Aladdin-92 (+6), 7 screenings (2 IMAX, 2 3D, 2 Regular+Fan Screening)

John Wick-163 (+21), 7 screenings (2 IMAX, 5 regular) Final Week

Dark Phoenix-47 (+7), 6 screenings (1 IMAX, 2 3D, 2 Regular+Fan Screening)

 

Daaaamn that Wick increase tickets and showings wise is exactly what I want to see. Must be a very good sign for my theater to add preview screenings (They didn't do this for Pikachu for example). Though in general today everything did well, even Aladdin and Phoenix. In total today Godzilla and Aladdin both sold 6 tickets, Dark Phoenix sold 7, and John Wick sold 21 tickets and got three screenings added.

First count of today, only Thursdays-

Godzilla: KoTM-97 (+2), 8 screenings (3 IMAX, 3 3D, 2 Regular)

Aladdin-92, 7 screenings (2 IMAX, 2 3D, 2 Regular+Fan Screening)

John Wick-178 (+15), 7 screenings (2 IMAX, 5 Regular) Final Day

Dark Phoenix-52 (+5), 6 screenings (1 IMAX, 2 3D, 2 Regular+Fan Screening)

 

Good early signs for Wick and Phoenix's growth is honestly surprising me, it's not really slowing down at all at my theater...

I'd love it if DP did end up surprising and not being an outright disaster (box office and quality-wise), simply because the series deserves a good send-off. 

As for Wick, I would be shocked at this point if it opened under 50, even accounting for increase in the fanbase and more of a pre-booking rush factor (and less walk-up business).

It wasn't until I got to this point that I realized you were talking about Dark Phoenix and not Detective Pikachu (or Deadpool for that matter).

Folks, I think we might need an intervention when it comes to this thread and its habit of reducing all movies to its initials. :lol:

Haha. Think it's an overall forum problem.

Some of them require proper squinting and and "pensive face", tbh...

I had the same problem!

A thought though, how about XDP for Dark Phoenix to signify X-Men? Then we already (somehow forum and reddit wide) decided on Pika Pika for Detective Pikachu.

My other problem is whenever people type "JW3", I always think initially "It's a little early for Jurassic World 3 talk..." only to realise it's about Wick. I'm sure @Brainbug has the exact same issue :lol:

I recognize instantly whether or not the upcoming Masterpiece Jurassic World 3 is meant or the merely great John Wick 3.

Wick 3.  Three more letters than JW3, but don't have to worry about holding down the shift key!

I personally think Dog's Journey will do better than 9M. The first one opened to double that (whether or not the controversy helped or hurt it is another conversation) and Dog's Way Home even opened higher back in January which had less brand appeal and smaller buzz. 

 

Thinking 12-15M personally.

John Wick 3 really picking up steam. Endgame will drop less than Pikachu today. It is gaining against DP when compared to yesterday.

Endgame's 36 million i don't really buy since it has not been holding well. I think  28 million is what Endgame will end up with this weekend.

That would be on par with the past weekend drops I'm also not buying JW 50 million opening yet. Trades have it at 35 million.
