What kind of multi would you guess for Maleficent off $3M previews?

Mal1 was the week after Memorial W/E with more school out so that could cancel out possible more front loading of a sequel in Oct.

 

Mal1 did 16.5 off 4.2m so my guess is at least 15 though 17 (around Dumbo) wouldn't surprise me.

Mal 2.6*15   
Zomb 3*8.5

I multiplied the numbers. Don't know if I'm right, but basically:

 

-Maleficent 2: 39M

 

-Zombieland 2: 25.5M

 

How much would it be Overseas-wise?

Think we'll start seeing TROS shows being posted Friday?

Found this in regards to Maleficent 2 and the International Box Office.

 

This is what they said regarding Joker and the end of its box office run:

Quote

Joker retained its crown in style last weekend on a magnificent $125.3m via Warner Bros Pictures International and stands at $409m internationally, and $623m worldwide. Insiders forecast the origins story to finish on around $800m worldwide, which suggests it will start to slow down this session.

One part of me is thinking that it isn't that bad of a run. But another part of me is thinking that this might be a bit of a lower number than expected. We'll have to see how the numbers do when Sunday rolls around and if the buzz is still strong as time goes by.

 

Joker has been definitely one of the most unpredictable movies this year. I never expected that this movie would end up making this much so far.

Depends almost entirely on in-house decisions, I think.  I know with 99.999999% certainty that they're already in various theater computer systems.  There was that leak from the in-theater Cinemark system a couple of days ago, for instance (posted on r/StarWarsLeaks).  Also from what we can see on the public Cinemark website, the first three weeks of TROS showings now have drop down menus where you can select a day (say Dec 20th as a random example) when TROS is actually playing.

 

But if you actually select that day it say "No showtimes for Dec 20th, 2019" (slight paraphrase).

 

That tells me that the webpage "knows" that there are showdates in the Cinemark system, but not to display them quite yet.

 

Fandango, locally at least, is only displaying dates up to Sun, Dec 15th at the moment.  Can't even access Thr, Dec 19th or beyond on Fandango.

 

Atom has drop down dates extending into next year, but also nothing on TROS's opening days/week.

 

So, basically, up to individual chains to flip the switch to make it public.  Could be Fri.  Might be by Sat.  Very probably by Sun.

Of course that number is really low, just after this weekend Joker will have 720m WW.

They can just play joker in theater only on weekend it would still pass 800m but let's talk about this in Joker OS thread This thread is for pre-release movie tracking and theater count.

hello there i have been away from this thread for a very long time could somone plz inform me whats going on here ?

 

 

ps do we have any idea about frozen 2 tickets ?

[a2k]

Guess,

M 2.75 * 13.5 = 37.1

Z 3.25 * 8.5 = 27.6

J splitting them with 32-33

[Krissykins]

Not looking good at all for Maleficent then with these $40m range projections.

They obviously lowball the number, their forecast is not based on the actual data.

Still status "Remind Me" at the AMC theaters.

Therefor the tickets for all releases of the next week (e.g. Countdown) are on sale now. Plus those for Harriet, Doctor Sleep and Charlie's Angels (don't remember if that was mentioned already).

Why the fuck is Lucy in the Sky expanding? That movie is a horrific bomb, who the hell wants to give it more screens?

600m would have been very good. 800m for a tiny budget film is incredible.

35-40 seems about right for M2. More toward lower limit. 

Edited October 18, 2019 by Charlie Jatinder

Just wanted to share this really cool thing I found regarding all three films: https://www.indiewire.com/2019/10/maleficent-and-zombieland-sequels-open-and-could-represent-a-2019-box-office-first-1202181988/

 

Quote

The weekend also sees the wide release of two sequels: Disney’s “Maleficent: Mistress of Evil” and Sony’s “Zombieland: Double Tap,” which will likely take the nos. 1 and 3 spots, “Joker” landing in between — and that could represent the first time this year that the top three titles made over $30 million.

If this actually happens then that would actually be a really cool record for all three films.

$41m would be a -40% drop from the first film so yikes. 

[charlie Jatinder]

Seems like 9-9.5mn True Friday for M2 & Joker.
