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.  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 that wasn't in its immediate first days of sales.  I'll add back in more films on starting tomorrow.

I looked at IT 2 at AMC Empire 25 after a week and I dont see a huge movement. This needs a push via a new trailer plus prominently marketed at Fandango/Atom etc.

 

That said it has huge amount of shows(34 overall). So if it accelerates close to release it should still have huge previews.

@Porthos IT Part 1 on opening week had very similar sale patterns to CBMs.  On Fandango that week it outpaced SM:HC and Thor:R by a bit more.

While it ended up doing slightly better than SM:HC that o/weekend and around the same as Thor: R it also had lower Thur previews than both. 

 

So pre-sales and walk ups were slightly less geared to Thur and more toward the w/e.  The not significant difference in the last week of Fandango sales indicate IT prior to opening week was doing business comparable to SM:HC and Thor: R - different than the usual horror.

 

IT: $13.5m/$123.4m

SM:HC: $15.4m/ $117m

Thor:R:  $14.5m/ $122.7m

 

Your Deadpool 2 comps might be handy.

SM:HC: $15.4m/ $117m

Thor:R:  $14.5m/ $122.7m

 

Your Deadpool 2 comps might be handy.

I happen to have DP2's number (as of T-21), so, sure I can rope it in starting tomorrow. 

FWIW, right now (adj) it is 34.67% of DP2 at T-19, which would be 6.45m.

 

So even though DP2 was on the lighter end of CBMs a little under three weeks out, it still was a little more pre-sale heavy than It 2 so far.

What's hurting It 2 here is that it had a very low base off the first couple of days in Sacramento.  Not counting H&S, it only did more than Pika Pika on Day One.

 

On the other hand, recently (post-BP) many CBMs DO have a strong start, before tapering off for a while and then ramping back up.  

 

This also explains why it's currently pacing much further behind TS4 and TLK, as those had a abnormally high amount of first/second/third day sales.

 

We'll see how It 2 stands at the T-14 to T-10 mark though.

I do get the SM:HC and Thor:R arguments.  But I never tracked those locally, so I have no idea how strong they were at the start.  All I can comment on is the CBMs I did track post-BP.

*thinks about something*

*checks when It tickets went on sale*

 

Yeah, that might explain it. 

 

It's tickets went on sale on August 23rd, ahead of the Sep 8th release. That's 16 days worth of ticket sales leading up to and including the Thr Opening Night.

 

It 2, on the other hand, is selling tickets twice as long (36 days leading up to and including Thr Opening NIght).  So it really is nearly a useless comparison, I think.  Just a radically different pre-sale roll out.

EDIT::: 

 

Checked back into the Tracking thread history and confirmed.  It tickets went on sale at T-15 (Wed Aug 23rd), which would be a much more compressed timeframe.

 

Just have to see what it's like at around T-10 or so to really get a handle on it, I think.
