Posted by Porthos,

Really depends on what you're looking for, but usually the most important takeaway for just a casual glance is the comp.  More on that in a bit.   But even that is highly dependent on a movie being either in a similar genre or having a similar pre-sale pattern as folks will buy tickets at different times during a pre-sale window thanks to a very long list of factors.   Add in that movies will have different promotional schedules during their pre-sales (review embargoes, TV ca

MODERATION:   Hi, everyone. It’s 6 o’clock in the morning. I have not gone to bed yet. And I am tired. And I know it’s going to be a very long weekend. Here is the new rule.   This thread is for numbers and data. Please post your theater updates. Please post your comparable data. And please talk about that comparable data here.    If you wish to do a deep dive on why you think that data might or might not suck, then take it to the respective thread of the movie in ques

@keysersoze123 A really good thing to call back to is that back in April during Endgame pre-sales, AMC had a meeting that revealed that Endgame sold $15M in pre-sales at their chain in the first 24 hours. So that would be a major data point you'd be able to look to when tracking TROS.

 

EDIT: Looking back at that report, it also reveals that it did +50% more than TFA and 3x A:IW, putting TFA at ~$10M and IW at ~$5M.

Great. Good to know. That itself would be over million tickets sold !!!!! Probably 1.2m+ even with all Imax/PLF selling out. But that wont be just for previews. That would be spread across 1st weekend and even into tuesday and 2nd weekend.

I see showtimes listed for rest of the weekend.

 

Previews - 4103 + 90 fan events shows.

Friday - 4582

Saturday - 4594

Sunday.- 4463

 

These are really early and I see them doubling for sure. I will post pre PS ticket sales numbers tonight.

 

I am not able to pull in showtimes for Cinemark yet.

Terminator: Dark Fate Greater Philadelphia Area T-11 and Counting

  Sellouts Showings Seats Sold Total Seats Perct Sold
TOTALS 0 36 120 8,792 1.36%

 

Total Seats Sold Today: 11

 

Comp

0.141x of It: Chapter Two 11 days before release (1.49M)

 

Adjusted Comp

0.483x of Hobbs & Shaw 11 days before release (2.80M)

 

Alright, good day. Hopefully the momentum continues this week and onwards. It's basically going to be crunch time these last 10 days, although TROS tickets could limit the sales a bit.

Star War 9 Previews.

 

AMC - 15757/693312 (4103 shows)

 

This must be all in box office I presume. I am thinking OD can sell 100K+ tickets for sure. But i want to see the show count double as well.

Stupid question, but is your scraper smart enough to differentiate between unavailable seats and actually sold seats?  Because I know some theater chains don't differentiate between the two.

Yes. the tracker shows seats as available or unavailable. Anyway let us wait until tomorrow and I will run it once again after the sales open.

Doctor Sleep tickets went on sale last Thursday. For anyone checkinv presales, how's it doing so far? What are some mad comps?

 

If it isnt too much trouble :)

I just looked at NYC and it has 2 shows listed in.1 theater at AMC!!! Even Empire 25 or Lincoln Square do not have any shows. I am not sure its a movie worth tracking so far off. May be during the release week we will see some action.


Edit: did a quick run at 2 chains.

 

AMC - 985/67126 (371 shows)
Cin - 464/57889(396 shows)

 

I dont think I have seen fewer shows or lower numbers so far but my data is limited. Plus I did not see any PLF. so its looking like 11k $ worth of PS in 1/3rd national market. Its too early to make any prediction beyond that PS won’t be helping it that much.

If anyone is tracking Regal theaters for TROS, you can check the auditorium number it is playing in by trying to purchase a ticket.  It won't actually let you purchase yet, but this is a way to pre-get the auditorium number in case of fast sellouts as it is on the ticket purchase window. 

 

Not a huge concern for most, but for folks checking multiple theaters, it might help.  Thinking @FlashMaster659's theaters for instance.

Doesn’t Fandango let you do that for any theater?

Sure, but they're greyed out on Fandango right now (meaning you can't select it at all), but not on Regal. :)

 

I'm basically mentioning this to folks who want to knock out auditorium numbers early.  I just did about a third of the Sacto area thanks to this, for instance. :)
