First count of today, just Thursdays-

Godzilla: KoTM-196 (+3), 8 screenings (3 IMAX, 3 3D, 3 Regular) Final week

Dark Phoenix-81 (+4), 6 screenings (1 IMAX, 2 3D, 2 Regular+Fan Screening)

Final count of today, just Thursdays-

Godzilla: KoTM-203 (+10), 8 screenings (3 IMAX, 3 3D, 3 Regular) Final week

Dark Phoenix-83 (+6), 6 screenings (1 IMAX, 2 3D, 2 Regular+Fan Screening)

SLoP 2-5, 4 screenings (2 3D, 2 Regular)

 

Today was a pretty good day for Godzilla and Phoenix. Godzilla crossed 200 today, faster then any of the other releases I've tracked, and Phoenix sold a decent amount today. SLoP2 though.... In total Godzilla sold 10 tickets and Phoenix sold 6.

Oh yeah the reason I'm especially happy with the 10 tickets sold is where they're going. To the 4 PM shows (IMAX AND 3D) and to the regular 2D showing at 8:15. It's a good balance and not a sign of front loading. Every showing now has at least 3 tickets sold.

Only Thursdays

Orange Park AMC

Godzilla KOTM - 171 (+21), 7 screenings (2 IMAX, 1 Dolby, 2 3D, 2 Regular)

Rocketman - 40 (-1), 3 screenings (1 Dolby, 2 Regular)

SLOP2 - 1 (0), 2 screenings (2 Regular)

Dark Phoenix - 103 (0), 8 screenings (1 IMAX, 2 Dolby, 2 3D, 2 Regular, 1 Fan Event)

 

Godzilla had a fantastic day and is back to a 20 ticket lead on Aladdin. A terrible day for everyone else though as Rocketman lost a ticket, and SLOP2 and Dark Phoenix sold zilch. Also, Dark Phoenix has now fallen behind Godzilla even with the populated fan screening.

 

Regency AMC

Godzilla KOTM - 219 (+16), 10 screenings (3 IMAX, 2 Dolby, 2 3D, 3 Regular)

Rocketman - 27 (+1), 3 screenings (1 Dolby, 2 Regular)

SLOP2 - 8 (0), 5 screenings (2 3D, 3 Regular)

Dark Phoenix - 163 (+13), 8 screenings (1 IMAX, 2 Dolby, 2 3D, 2 Regular, 1 Fan Event)

 

Godzilla had another ok day and has fallen behind Aladdin by 2. Dark Phoenix is selling like hotcakes here for some reason. It is 24 ahead of where Godzilla was.

 

Epic Theatres at Oakleaf

Godzilla KOTM - 28 (+2), 3 screenings (3 Epic XL)

Rocketman - 0 (0), 2 screenings (2 Regular)

SLOP2 - 4 (0), 3 screenings (3 Regular)

Dark Phoenix - 0 (0), 2 screenings (2 Regular)

 

Nothing to see here. Godzilla is behind Aladdin by 27 tickets here.

 

NewVision 12 at Fleming Island

Godzilla KOTM - 4 (0) , 3 screenings (3 Regular)

Rocketman - 0 (0), 0 screenings

SLOP2 - 0 (0), 0 screenings

Dark Phoenix - 1 (0), 2 screenings (2 Regular)

 

These little theater presales are bumming me out man.

 

Avenues Regal Cinemas

Godzilla KOTM - 40 (0), 5 screenings (2 3D, 3 Regular)

Rocketman - 10 (0), 2 screenings (2 Regular)

SLOP2 - 16 (0), 5 screenings (1 RPX 2D, 2 3D, 2 Regular)

Dark Phoenix - 33 (0), 7 screenings (2 4DX 3D, 1 RPX 2D, 2 3D, 2 Regular)

 

0 Thursday tickets sold today. And it's a fairly big theater. Smh.

 

Cinemark Tinseltown

Godzilla KOTM - 139 (+9), 6 screenings (1 3D, 3 XD, 2 Regular)

Rocketman - 15 (+4), 3 screenings (3 Regular)

SLOP2 - 16 (0), 3 screenings (3 Regular)

Dark Phoenix - 30 (0), 4 screenings (2 3D, 2 Regular)

 

*It's something meme*

So, overall it was a meh day for ticket sales. The AMCs really dominate the presales in this area. A little disturbed by Godzilla's presales at Epic but we'll see what happens in the coming week. It's only on the PLF screens there so that might have something to do with Aladdin's large lead. Elsewhere, Godzilla is killing it at Orange Park and about even with Aladdin at Regency. Hopefully ticket sales really pick up this week. I NEED THE MONSTERVERSE TO CONTINUE!

Only Thursdays

Orange Park AMC

Godzilla KOTM - 179 (+8), 7 screenings (2 IMAX, 1 Dolby, 2 3D, 2 Regular)

Rocketman - 45 (+5), 3 screenings (1 Dolby, 2 Regular)

SLOP2 - 1 (0), 2 screenings (2 Regular)

Dark Phoenix - 106 (+3), 8 screenings (1 IMAX, 2 Dolby, 2 3D, 2 Regular, 1 Fan Event)

 

Godzilla had a slower day but is still 28 tickets ahead of Aladdin. Rocketman gained a respectable 5 tickets. SLOP2... this can't be good can it? Dark Phoenix still slowly moving forward and is now behind Godzilla by 11 tickets.

 

Regency AMC

Godzilla KOTM - 232 (+13), 10 screenings (3 IMAX, 2 Dolby, 2 3D, 3 Regular)

Rocketman - 30 (+3), 3 screenings (1 Dolby, 2 Regular)

SLOP2 - 8 (0), 5 screenings (2 3D, 3 Regular)

Dark Phoenix - 163 (0), 8 screenings (1 IMAX, 2 Dolby, 2 3D, 2 Regular, 1 Fan Event)

 

Godzilla has now fallen behind Aladdin by 19 tickets considering Aladdin sold 30 on this day last week. I have a feeling Godzilla is gonna continue to fall behind since this theater started getting 20+ tickets a day from here on out. Rocketman did ok. SLOP2 I'm super confused by. Do family films not presale at all? Dark Phoenix which has been selling really well at this theater didn't sell anything today.

 

Epic Theatres at Oakleaf

Godzilla KOTM - 28 (0), 3 screenings (3 Epic XL)

Rocketman - 0 (0), 2 screenings (2 Regular)

SLOP2 - 4 (0), 3 screenings (3 Regular)

Dark Phoenix - 0 (0), 2 screenings (2 Regular)

 

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

NewVision 12 at Fleming Island

Godzilla KOTM - 4 (0) , 3 screenings (3 Regular)

Rocketman - 0 (0), 0 screenings

SLOP2 - 0 (0), 0 screenings

Dark Phoenix - 1 (0), 2 screenings (2 Regular)

 

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

Avenues Regal Cinemas

Godzilla KOTM - 42 (+2), 5 screenings (2 3D, 3 Regular)

Rocketman - 10 (0), 2 screenings (2 Regular)

SLOP2 - 16 (0), 5 screenings (1 RPX 2D, 2 3D, 2 Regular)

Dark Phoenix - 33 (0), 7 screenings (2 4DX 3D, 1 RPX 2D, 2 3D, 2 Regular)

 

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

Cinemark Tinseltown

Godzilla KOTM - 151 (+12), 6 screenings (1 3D, 3 XD, 2 Regular)

Rocketman - 17 (+2), 3 screenings (3 Regular)

SLOP2 - 16 (0), 3 screenings (3 Regular)

Dark Phoenix - 30 (0), 4 screenings (2 3D, 2 Regular)

 

Welp. Not a lot of movement overall. Hopefully Godzilla sales start picking up like Aladdin's did last week.

IMO, the best comp of movies I have tracked will be Fallen Kingdom.  I also have comps with the Aladdin and Detective Pikachu as something as a compare/contrast with current May movies.  They may not be as good comps, being in different genres.

 

Unadjusted Comps

1.0417x as many tickets sold as Detective Pikachu 4 days before release. 

0.8928x as many tickets sold as Aladdin 4 days before release.

 

T-4:

Pika        110 tickets sold  [0 sellouts/62 showings   |   6217/7464 seats left    | 16.71% sold]

.4934x as many tickets sold as Fallen Kingdom 4 days before release.       

ADJUSTMENT NOTE: If a theater locally that is now selling tickets for reserved seating was selling them for the above movies, but as non-reserved seating for that movie, it is not counted toward the ratio of 'as many tickets sold' for the movie in question.  If a theater is brand new to the region and wasn't yet open for one of the above movies, however, it will be counted toward the ratio.  It will also be counted toward the ratio if it was playing in a different number of theaters locally.

 

T-4:

JW2             220 tickets sold [0 sellouts/111 showings |   8833/11263 seats left   |  21.58% sold]

KotM (JW)    107 tickets sold [0 sellouts/98 showings   | 11080/12172 seats left   |    8.97% sold]

KotM (JW) is the number of tickets sold at the same theaters I had tracking info for Fallen Kingdom.

Veeeeeeery slight rise for KotM, both locally and nationally via Fandango.  If it's because folks are treating today like a super sized Saturday, then nbd.  But if it continues then I have to say it isn't the greatest of signs for KotM.  

 

I personally think it's the former.  And I haven't tracked an opener coming off a 4day weekend before, so I don't have any priors to look at.  So we'll see what Monday brings.  :)

We'll see tomorrow but I feel like it's because of the 4 day weekend.

I'm still a ball of hopeful nervous energy.

I feel like for me it's easier because I've seen the movie and loved it. Ideally I'd want it to get a good RT score and make money, but tbh I'm just glad a movie like it exists and that the franchise has gotten to this point.

Yeah I agree with all this. I'm not too worried about the box office or the RT score because I saw the movie and had a fun time. I can't control RT or the box office, so it's not really my problem.

  43 days 42 days 41 days 40 days 39 days 38 days 37 days

 

 

 

 

Godzilla

Day 11-5

85% of John Wick 3 (48.5M)

48% of Fallen Kingdom (71.1M)

 

Day 18-5

121% of John Wick 3 (68.9M) (minus days 14-12. Endgame deflation also occurred)

47% of Fallen Kingdom (69.4M)

 

Day 23-5

34% of Fallen Kingdom (50.4M)

 

This didn't see a big bump, but as said before, it is a bit understandable, as this Sunday is basically acting like a second Saturday. And in the end, the fact that it's still close to 70M when using its best genre comp probably means something. And of course, the more comps we have starting tomorrow, the better it is for comparisons.

 

Pets 2

Day 18-12

66% of Grinch (44.8M)

163% of Hotel 3 (71.8M)

 

Day 25-12

65% of Grinch (43.7M)

195% of Hotel 3 (86.1M)

 

This also has an excuse of today being a second Saturday (this also basically applies to all the other movies coming up), and this is still an interesting conundrum. Do we follow Grinch, or Hotel Transylvania? Of course, this isn't really a presales-driven movie, so let's be a touch optimistic here and say Hotel Transylvania.

 

Dark Phoenix

Day 15-12

20% of Aquaman (13.8M)

52% of Glass (20.9M)

36% of Venom (29.1M)

 

Day 18-12

25% of Aquaman (17.2M)

 

Day 25-12

50% of Aquaman (34.1M)

 

So I decided to dig through and find some Aquaman and Venom comps, because I thought, "hey, these movies opened lower than the MCU offerings. Maybe these will paint a clearer picture." And....well, it is painting a picture, but not one that I think Disney would like. But hey, it's still a few days away, and maybe the final marketing stretch will turn things around a bit.

 

Far From Home

Day 43-37

48% of Captain Marvel (73.2M)

 

That may seem bad, but there are so many differing factors between both FFH and CM, down to release date and even showtimes. Also, it's about a month away, so...who cares?

If its good why should you worry about RT score? I never get it wrong.. why the doubt? Be honest 😛

My opinion isn't going to be everyone's. Even if I find it good, doesn't mean critics'll agree. I thought BvS was excellent and I still stand by this, RT would not agree with me.

TTVOMJ

To add to what Mulder already commented on, there also is some correlation between an RT score and initial interest in a movie.  Not total as Aladdin is showing right now.  On the other hand, there'll probably be a slight difference in initial box office if KotM clocks in at around 45 on Rotten Tomatoes versus 65.  

 

Once the WOM starts to kick in, then sure RT is less important.  But as I've said before critic reviews are the very last piece of buzz and the very first piece of WOM.  And on this forum we really are concerned about both buzz and WOM as it usually affects the box office to some degree or another.

 

Beyond that, @Mulder and other Godzilla fans would like to see more films in the MonsterVerse.  A badly received KotM makes that more difficult and how critics receive the movie is part of the whole equation.

 

PS:  That and nerves. Speaking as someone who has gone through this too many times to count, nerves aren't always rational. ;)

No no... there is a difference between preference and stepping away from subjectivity...  i worked with a guy who thought he was THE film affacionado until he met me.. it was easy for him to be that in front of his other friends and colleagues who were even less into films than him... he went on and on about BvS saying its the best film ever... well that is an insult for anyone who watched more than 17 movies.. i told him this.. I explained my background and lay down my argument and the conclusion was: its his FAVORITE movie ever.. not best..

so- you CAN say you liked it, but if you cant take a step back and look at the whole picture your objectivity needs a workout routine... its easy.  Just let go of ego ^^  the only discrepancy that can occur is us not liking the film and RT going up.. but even then we should allways see what was good about it.. sometimes good outweighs the bad and vice versa.. couple that with timing of release date and people sentiment around the film and you can easily get a faux zeitgeist moment that sprung out of average people's cycle of boredom fueled by social media and need for acceptance..example: negative(aladdin, captain marvel) positive: (logan, mission impossible 6)

Yeah sorry just going to curb it here because me and you have very different opinions on film objectivity and how objective RT is.
