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.

First count of today, just Thursdays-

So we can 90% rule out a surprise 90+ mil opening?

This makes it sounds so negative!

 

I'll take a 10% chance for this to do 90m+ opening any day

I don't think the presales and tracking was ever really pointing that that anyways....

Where was zilla 14 around this time.

 

 

it was already in top 3 previous week to release(after amazing spidey opened close to 100m).  on monday of the release it already hit 41% of MT tickets. Neighbors had opened to 49m previous weekend and spidey crashed to 35m.

 

 

 

 

[Cookson]

Are we able to see what movietickets.com sales percentage is? And where can you view up to date sales on fandango?

2014's too far back to be a meaningful comp.

[chaotic-strike]

70 mil would be a good opening for Godzilla IMO. That's what I would have to guess this opens at.

They only show the Top 5, so we will have to wait until KOTM hits the top 5 for any %.

Does anyone of you guys have information on how monster movies perform in the Midwest because I’m wondering if Godzilla overperforming at my theater is somewhat of an anomaly.

Oddly enough I was wondering if Godzilla doing as well as it's been doing in NY and NJ was an anomaly myself.

17 PT 5/26/19 (End of Sun)  

1	51.2%	Aladdin
2	12.6%	John Wick:Chapter 3 - Parabellum
3	12%	Avengers: Endgame
4	7.3%	Pokémon Detective Pikachu
5	3.2%    Booksmart   

Not sure how things will move on the holiday Mon, but a bit surprised to see Endgame within striking distance of Wick today. Overall not much movement. Think we’ll see Zilla show up Tuesday.

17 PT 5/27/19 (End of Memorial Mon)  

1	51.9%	Aladdin
2	12.5%	John Wick:Chapter 3 - Parabellum
3	10.8%	Avengers: Endgame
4	7.7%	Pokémon Detective Pikachu
5	3%      Booksmart

Wouldn't matter anyways, a 4 day weekend vs a 3 day is a big difference.

Relative comps will not change even if overall % of online sales have gone up. while that market has increased its not like comparing 90's era to today. Even in 2014 20% of tickets were sold through Fandango and MT.com. In fact today its spread out across multiple platforms(Apart from Fandango and MT.com, we have Atom and more important apps of individual chains). People subscribing to AMC A list dont use any of the 3rd party. Anyway now Fandango owns MT.com and so I am expecting its numbers to not be substantially different form 2014.

Someone knows what time previews will start for Rocketman and Ma? 7pm?

Everyone has some bias. I hope I am wrong but signs are not good.

Except it's not, there's a lot of other factors between G-2014's release date in 2014 and time vs now, the biggest of which being a 4 day weekend.
