Uh, look at number 3

[Stewart]

Also, KOTM on hourly is doing great as well, not sure wth he's looking at but he ain't doing it right.

Doing very much better than Rocketman.

Looks like IMAX will be a major share of the movie gross.

Doesn't really bode well for the 2nd weekend drop considering it will lose IMAX to DP I'm afraid

Do you think the GA are aware of that?

 

I.e. could people who might've waited to see in IMAX watching this weekend as there's no IMAX after Phoenix arrives?

Perhaps. I think it'll affect 2nd weekend but not to the extent of 2014's drop.

Godzilla on MT now at 4.4%

[cdsacken]

My bad. Still should be 2nd by now. Just not terrible.

MT (MovieTickets) tracks the top 5 selling movies on their site through the past 24 hours. Godzilla is at #5 with 4.4% of all tickets sold on MT in the past 24 hours.

I am a bit worried... i get that we are all 100% into godzilla vs anything smackdown, but are these critics scores affecting ps? Are these critics people who didnt weigh in pleasure of mega carnage vs thin plot? Or is this another transformers convulated bayhem? 0.0 

Each time since like november there has been a kotm trailer attached to a movie in every theater and there was no denying the enthusiasm from the crowd.. usually just eyeballs glued followed by oohs and oh yeahs...either this is some weird reality im in right now or i am just too far detached from the GA and this movie hype... its not like i dont consider this when thinking about a movie.. OR.. or... walkups!! But after these scores only aladdin effect can save it im afraid 😢

Hopefully it improves. Granted I want Aladdin to hold up well but I'd like to see 60+ OW for it 

[titanic2187]

Even after Endgame, pikachu, JW3 and aladdin, domestic box office is still looking at 400m+ behind last year at this point.

Clearly the market still have space to accommodate another breakout, the supposed February, march crowd are coming into this may and june window. 

 

I am confident Godzilla is going to demonstrate another monster flick's luck again

Maybe we'll see. DOM market will get crushed next year without Avatar. Huge drop.

Seriously, even if Avatar 2 remains where it was, it is going to be December release, not much help it can offer.

The theater may need to worry about how to close the deficit in late-Apr next year after 2 marvels film scored 2b back to back.

2018's Oct/Nov was very strong, you have venom and ASIB double breakout followed by Halloween hit(bad legs through). And in November, you have BR, Grinch,  FB2, Ralhph 2 doing 50m above opening in 4 consecutive week. That is very strong streak 

 

Similar to May-June this year, If DP x-men and MIB3 didn't go flop, we may see 50m openers for 7 consecutive weeks!   

 

[Menor the Destroyer]

For Godzilla I'll be worried if FSS sales don't show some good growth later today/tomorrow. Thursday #s are quite solid for now.

[Menor the Destroyer]

Dark Phoenix only 553 sold for yesterday. So, so weak. It had better pray for some great reviews or a final week miracle surge.

Frozen 2 and Star Wars make me think end of year will be fine.
