Early RT audience score looks good for both openers.

[Valonqar]

any Jojo numbers?

[narniadis]

So Charlie, are you adding enough to compensate for less presales on Joker? Trust you, just trying to get ahead of the newbies if it doesnt go up at all or even (hopefully not) down a little. 

As always thanks for sharing.

I'm curious to see what the Cinemascore is like for both Maleficent 2 and Zombieland 2. Both previous films got an A, Zombieland getting an A- while Maleficent got an A.

Previews		Zombieland: Double Tap	Sony Pictures	$2,850,000		3,052	$934	$2,850,000
Previews		Maleficent: Mistress of Evil	Walt Disney	$2,300,000				$2,300,000

 

Congrats to our amazing trackers. We got it close again.

Previews Update

 

Prediction - Based on numbers above both the movies should finish like 0.5m difference. So I would say 3m Zombieland and 2.5m Maleficent. But I would look at comps from others to make closer prediction.

TROS showtimes are starting to show up on Fandango. Regal Yorba Linda along with a couple Regals in the LA area posted IMAX showtimes and the gap between them is ~3.5 hrs.

One of my local theaters has showtimes for 24 hours/day from Thursday to Saturday

 

 

On behalf of the poor workers, I hope that’s just a mistake.

Yep. A few of the theaters in the Inland Empire are posting their shows now. Can't wait to see how huge my seat map is going to be.

[FlashMaster659]

So far from 5 theaters, I'm counting 57 Thursday night shows in the Inland Empire for Skywalker. None of the really big players have posted their shows yet.

 

A few theaters here will also be doing fan event screenings that will start at 5 pm.

Snooping around Fandango and it looks like AMC shows are starting to go up as well

[Porthos]

I would also point out that many theaters are gonna have, if not a bare bones amount of screenings, nothing close to their final slate, as it will be around 58 or so days from release when tickets go on sale.

 

For comparison after all theaters checked in locally:

 

Captain Marvel at  T-56:    81 showings.

Captain Marvel at    T-8:  107 showings.

Captain Marvel at    T-0:  216 showings.

 

Now this is SW so the initial number will be higher as will the rampup and final.

 

*knocks on wood*

 

I'm just reminding folks that many theaters won't have anything close to a full slate until a decent way into this pre-sale run.

Derp 58/59 days not 55.

[TalismanRing]

SW showings up at just 10  theaters in NYC so far, AMC & Regal - non live.

ps do we have any idea about frozen 2 tickets ?

Probably 10/28 is my guess, based on nothing more than intuition and thinking Disney wants to give TROS a few days in the pre-sale limelight.  That'd give Frozen 2 around the same pre-sale days as Aladdin, TS4, and TLK.

Probably not, as I saw that for TFA, TLJ, and Endgame.  The only surprise would be that they established that so far in advance.

By the way, in case folks are having trouble getting to the right date on Fandango, I manually forced it to go to 12/19 by changing the date in the url.  

 

So, for example, if one uses the "My theaters" link I went from:

 

https://www.fandango.com/95814_movietimes?mytheaters=true&date=2019-10-19

 

to forcing it to

 

https://www.fandango.com/95814_movietimes?mytheaters=true&date=2019-12-19

 

by editing the URL itself.

 

That pulled up all of my local showtimes even though it doesn't display the calendar wall correctly. Yet at least.

 

(naturally folks zipcodes would be different for their own regions but I wanted to give an example)

Cinemark - 1159/122922 (814 shows)

 

Even worse. Just over a ticket per show. I think it will take be close to release before this can be interpreted. But Terminator fan base dont seem to be in a hurry.

Terminator Dark Fate Previews (T-20)

AMC - 3822/162690(758 shows)

 

Since I saw tracking of 40m+, I was expecting it to have good PS. But so far numbers are not that big but there is a long way to go. I will update in a week's time and will do daily updates from around 10 days to release.

 

 

Terminator - Dark Fate (T-13)

AMC - 5339/163775 (772 shows) +1517
Cin - 1364/122661 (814 shows)  + 205

 

Numbers are still incredibly low. I think real action will start only in the week of the release.

TROS is finally nigh and Frozen 2 is going to be just around the corner. It’s going to be a good 4th quarter for tracking.
