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.

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

They still have the 2018 films but beyond that is up in the air. 

 

If they can't have another hit, then the studio animation department's future is probably in doubt, I'd wager.

Spidey stayed above Apes on Movietickets all day today...not sure if he did on Pulse, but could the Spidey over Apes upset happen as soon as today?  And if so, since Spidey isn't holding that great, how low could Apes rise be today?

 

EDIT TO ADD: Spidey got an extra evening showing added this morning at my cheap Tuesday local - Apes did not.  That's a surprise b/c the 1st Tuesday almost always gets a movie a last minute add for the day if it's doing well...

It could happen today. Spidey has had very similar drops compared to Ant-man throughout its weekdays and weekend (except sat-sun). Antman increased by 28.4% so if spidey has a similar increase then it will be about 7 mil. Apes could see an increase similar to spidey's first tuesday of 23.4. So with a 24% increase Apes will be ahead of spidey slightly. Since Apes had a better sat-sun hold than spideys first weekend it could see a better increase today. So overall I think Apes will remain ahead of spidey at least for today even if slightly

They have 3 really big originals planned for 2020, which they hope will be their Despicable Me. And they still have 4 shots in 2018, all could do $75M+, 3 of which could do $100M+, and 1 is locked for $100M. As long as they keep the budgets at $60M-$70M they'll be fine.

I suppose, I just hope those films are actually good as well.

They have some talent. The Kubo writer is doing a story of a superhero adopting his arch nemesis' kid. A short film director is doing a prehistoric tale of a boy and a dog. Also a movie based on a family road trip during a robot uprising.

Those three at least sound promising.

Girls Trip official theater count: 2,583 (from BOM)

 

It's wider than other comedies targeting african-american audiences, but I guess they should have gone fully wide. This movie seems to break out of that target group and will have a wide appeal. August is empty enough to expand the release, though.

Valerian won't show up till Thursday at best I'd imagine.

 

Hey now, maybe it'll manage Wednesday :sparta: 

Honestly, I rewatched the featurette of the movie about how Besson had waited his life to make the movie, and it's sad now that it looks like it won't do too well.  It's such a shame to see so much creative vision behind a project and to have it be basically rejected.  Oh well.  I'll see it as much as I can to support it.

Google Trends US:

Dunkirk basically right where Spiderman was Tuesday week of release, but came up from lower baseline level. It's well past where Apes was last Tuesday.

It also just crossed over both in terms of current level of searches.b54e29d7b0e44a14867518cd57beb335.jpg

Wonder if some of those Google searches are a result of the Dunkirk footage on Amazon's homepage. Extremely smart marketing by WB. Amazon has a huge customer base and they visit the website pretty frequently. Plus I would guess many of them are casual Nolan fans.

Wasn't Dunkirk expected to make its appearance on Fandango tomorrow? If so, this is better than expected.
