Just a curious question: when looking at theatre counts, is number of screens as important as amount of showings?

 

IE Aladdin has 12 showings vs Aladdin has 4 screens 3 showings each? ( this is just for example)

 

Does knowing amount of screens help you in taking context?

 

Also does knowing something is IMAX/avx/regular seating help?

 

Im just trying to better represent my information. 

Kinda both, as number of screens gives information about how many times the film is shown at the same time (so starting points less than lenght of movie +1 hour apart from each other) and number of showings is important to see how often it gets shown through out the day. Though that is based on the way the cinema handels it.

Aladdin for example is being shown on 4 screens (maybe 3, don't know that) in a local cinenma but only gets 6 showings because it doesn't get a single screen for the whole day, the first show tends to be aournd 4, the second around 7 and the late on the same screen is John Wick.

 

 

Imax etc. are really important as those are more expensive and most of the times sell way better than the others.

POTC5's dom was 2.2x the 78.5 4-day.

SOLO's dom was 2.08x the 103.0 4-day.

 

75-85 4-day and 2.25-2.30x that gives ALADDIN 169-196 dom

If Deadline's right, that does almost guarantee Aladdin hits the "flop" category vs just the "disappointment" one...although it probably avoids the total "bomb" category:)...

[Tinalera]

Thank you for the feedback...so basically more information the better. 

 

Its easier now that i figured polaris on my phone lol. Easier than back and forth transcribing. My computer is toast so i dont have fancier layouts.

Ooof. Thats......wow if those numbers hold up.

[TwoMisfits]

I don't have time to search for my old Regal post - but its set is up, and it is also greatly favoring Aladdin this week.  If Aladdin comes low, it will not be b/c of seat sellouts at prime times...it also got THREE screens effectively (with late screens swiped, but getting 4 at all earlier times)...here's the set...

 

NEW 

Aladdin (3 - 1 3d, 12 2d) - biggest screen and above average screens here

Booksmart (1 - 5) - average screen

Brightburn (1 - 6) - above average screen

 

RETURNING

A Dog's Jorney (1 - 6)

JW3 (1.5 - 9 - takes late nights from Aladdin)

The Sun is Also A Star (.5 - 2) - takes late nights from Aladdin

The Hustle (1 - 6) - this is a surprise keep, but it's been dropped everywhere, so they probably figure they'll get stragglers

The Intruder (.5 - 2) - takes late nights from Aladdin

Pika (1 - 5)

Endgame (1 - 4) - this hurts b/c it's been continually selling out here, but it still loses .75 screens

 

.5 screens left for morning/early afternoon

 

GONE

My theatre STILL has not posted showtimes for Friday, which is very odd. They must be waiting until the last possible second to gauge how Aladdin is selling.

Pulse today 8:35-8:49 EST:

Brightburn: 11/15 – yesterday also 11/15; The Prodigy had 4/15, The Intruder 15/15, both same day and time of the day.

Aladdin Greater Sacramento Area Premiere Night Seat Report: T-2 Days and counting

 

	Sellouts	Showings	Seats left	Total Seats	Perct Sold
TOTALS	0	116	11970	13896	13.86%

 

Total Showings Added Today:           23 (includes ten non-reserved seating showings)

Total Seats Added Today:              1285

Total Seats Sold Today:                   298

The best comp I have so far might be Detective Pikachu.  I also have less ideal comps with Solo (for Memorial Day Weekend like-for-like), JW2 and FB2.  Other last minute comps in Venom and Ant-Man and the Wasp have been added.  

 

Unadjusted Comps

1.0790x as many tickets sold as Detective Pikachu 2 days before release.

From Deadline: 

Disney’s live-action take of their 1992 half-billion grossing animated hit Aladdin finally takes flight over the Memorial Day weekend frame, and while we’ve typically trumpeted the lofty-end of projections for most global launches, especially Disney’s, we’re going low on this one with $73M-$75M domestic (including Monday’s holiday), and $173M-$175M worldwide

1.079 x 54.365 (Pika 3 day) = 58.66m 3day ≈ 72/73m 4day (maybe).

 

...

 

I see you Deadline. 

Spoiler

I don't expect that to happen, BTW.  For one thing I KNOW I'm not doing the 3day/4day conversion right. But found it funny regardless.

Depends on WW. 600+ is not a flop.

What do those over/under numbers mean?

[Nova]

My theater so far is keeping Aladdin on two screens for Thursday night and 5 screens for FSS. 

 

Will check back later tonight/tomorrow to see if that changes.

That means how many sold tickets a movie has (over) in 15 minutes of Pulse (under). E.g. I start the counting at 8:35 EST and stop when Pulse is at 8:49 EST. That's kind of an endless loop. And if you hit the site again it shows the next 15 minutes of the day.
