I'm sure some people are confused that a showing was added, but seats were lost. Well, while one theater added in the movie, another theater completely dropped the movie. If that doesn't speak to the confidence (or lack thereof) movie theaters have on this film, I don't know what does.

This was the day when the 3D shows went off the market entirely for H&S, hence the huge increase from yesterday in the comp department. And again, things are very hazy. I weirdly kind of wish I had Lion King comps to work with, but that won't be until about a week from now, so H&S it is!

Not really sure what to use as a comp for this film, since as I understand it horror isn't that pre-sale heavy.  Maybe.  For now, gonna throw in Detective Pikachu since it's the only film that I have info on that had light pre-sales this far out.  I'll add back in more films closer to release.

First bad day locally.  But it was a pretty strong day locally yesterday, so I think it's just random variance at play.  It happens.  Nothing to be worried about and still going strong overall, IMO.

As mentioned, Angry Birds 2 isn't really good for future comps and I'm also not totally interested and some members here are counting it so I plan to skip it .

All movies counted today at ca. 11 am EST:

Very decent.

LA (AMC Bay Street): 3 / 1 (5 showtimes)
LA (AMC Universal): 14 / 28 (5 showtimes)
Total tickets sold in 9 theaters till Wednesday for Thursday: 58 and for Friday: 73.
Surprisingly low (I wonder if it could have something to do with the errors in recent days where I saw a lot of Sellouts for several movies. Today they were gone but maybe the online booking overall didn't work flawlessly).
Or maybe it will have last minute bookings, we will see tomorrow. Otherwise it needs hefty walk ups but this could be a film for that.
Scary Stories had on Wednesday 645 / 475 sold tickets, Crawl 261 / 209.

Slow steady sales. A halloween type movie when summer isnt done probably not a lot on radar right now.

I expect closer to open might be more also probably a lot of walkups imo.

I'm not talking about this weekend. I'm talking about reports of It Chapter Two tracking for 120M or whatever. Where are the headlines and articles from Deadline and Variety? They usually come out exactly three weeks before the movie drops.

Everyone too busy running around their offices with their hands up at the though to the Obi-Wan Series to get that out?
