Was about to look up Doctor Sleep showtimes and see if they were popping up, but I noticed in the search bar "Fandango Early Access: Doctor Sleep"

My theater has showtimes up for Doctor Sleep that go on sale officially Thursday and the showtimes are spaced almost 3.5 hours apart. Clearly it's a really long movie.

it's 153 minutes long, according to AMC

Where can I see a top 10 list with the biggest indies/limited release openings? Thanks

BOP's roundup breaks down by wide, limited, and platform.  Does mean that it includes holdovers in week 7 and the like, but might be what you're looking for.

I was referring to an all-time lists, but thank you.

 

I was confident with TL because the good youtube views, but it seems than The Farewell did well despite the flop youtube views. So yeah, this has nothing to do with BO.

Let's see this weekend, i don't know what to expect anymore.

For some reason I can only find showtimes for The Lighthouse on the 24th and beyond. Nothing on the 18th or any weekday before the 24th. Can someone tell me why this is?

Same thing in Denver. Probably a limited release at first before it expands. Jojo Rabbit seems to be the same

[filmlover]

Yeah, The Lighthouse is opening in LA/NY next weekend before expanding to a bunch of theaters the following weekend. Number of theaters around here have it set for the 25th. I'm guessing they're going the Suspiria route and releasing it in a couple hundred theaters in its second weekend.

Yes, cause if anything can be learned from Suspiria, is that it was a genuine box office success, and the studio handled its release perfectly.

Honestly The Lighthouse just seems extremely limited in appeal (like Suspiria was). A24 probably knows that mainstream success is unlikely. Might as well go in and hope for the best before it finds a second chance in the streaming afterlife.

	Sellouts	Showings	Seats Sold	Total Seats	Perct Sold
TOTALS	0	32	195	8,464	2.30%

 

Total Seats Sold Today: 18

 

Comp

0.148x of It: Chapter Two 4 days before release (1.55M)

 

Adjusted Comp

0.035x of Lion King 4 days before release (814K)

0.360x of Hobbs & Shaw 4 days before release (2.09M)

 

Might as well mention that since I will actually have quality comps starting tomorrow, I'm dropping the It 2 comps. I'll probably keep the two adjusted ones since both still kind of fit, even if they're heavily flawed. And FWIW, at least looking at Addams Family, Dora and Abominable, even though they're still not perfect due to time differences, do point to a more realistic number.

I know I said this before, but this feels like the trickling phase for Terminator. A big slowdown in tickets sold. Not a bad thing, but do expect a couple declines in the comps.

Cinemark - 5288/141335(1056 shows) +347

 

Not bad a day at all. Maintained similar rate to yesterday on a friday. No change in prediction. Real action should start on Monday.

Excellent PS day and it is ramping up. I feel its previews will end up > 3m. BTW what were the previews for the 1st film.

Very low numbers. Probably will check back on wednesday evening. Probably looking at 2m previews but its a wild guess.

Zombieland(T-4)

AMC - 8899/90753 (528 shows) +1072

Cinemark - 3369/67196 (594 shows) + 577

 

Excellent increase today despite overall numbers still being low. I am hoping it will get more shows added tomorrow. Stick too 2m previews for now.

That would require a huge burst to at least 50-60K sales at AMC. not sure it has the pace to do that. 3m wont be that bad considering the tracking is lot lower this time around. Should enough for at least 45m OW.

[ThomasNicole]

Expecting $ 3.5-4.0M previews for Maleficent and 12-13x multiplier for a $ 42-52M OW

I hope it's a good movie, i kinda liked the last trailer / spots, but i'm not very confident 

 

Anyway presales for it needs to catch up this week, or it won't reach even $ 40M
