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.

 

 

 

I think they are doing early previews next week which is going to hurt Thursday preview numbers for the next few days.

Remember it's Atom. Didn't they add a lot of theaters this year? Bc at most theaters I'm not seeing anywhere near Endgame levels.

Atom has grown so much its like not legitimate for comparisons.

The weird thing about atom is didn’t they lose Regal in between Endgame and now? I know they added some as well but that was a big loss

Yes, but...

Atom gained Cinemark but lost Regal in the meantime.  Did add a bunch of other minor chains though.

This is the bigger factor, in my mind.  Tickets went on sale at 5am Pacific time. 

 

Even so, and even with those considerations a very strong start, IMO.

$400M OW here we go 

[narniadis]

Oh gotta love the hyperbol that will last until it opens.  

[Porthos]

*coming up for air*

 

Go ahead and laugh at me when I turn out to be wrong, but as I eye my seat maps this is gonna match IW's first 24 hours at the very least.

 

I'm not even checking most of the PLF seats as I already know them and this thing is selling like hotcakes.

 

Not EG level hotcakes, so don't get me wrong.  But very very very healthy.

 

I think I will go ahead and do an informal no-comp five hour check tonight around 10:30 or so my time and report the tickets sold so far.

Hopefully it can beat that. Honestly this might be one of the few movies where IW numbers aren't that great a sign considering that IW's first day presales weren't even at Rogue One level.

[Inceptionzq]

Well I was somehow able to get away with only missing a couple showings between @FlashMaster659 and me. I was ready to manually count the seats from AMC since they don't have AUD numbers. I took hundreds of pictures lol. But Fandango came through

[Menor the Destroyer]

I wonder if we're about to see a second spike from the trailer.

[TalismanRing]

Fandango now having a 20m wait.

 

My NCYC local just before the trailer after 1:45m on sale

 

SW: ROS - NYC Local	Tues (10/21) (9:45pm)
(2D) 5:PM (Fan Event)	38/257
(RPX) 6:PM	142/320
(RPX) 9:30PM	90/320
(RPX) 1AM	13/320
(3D) 7:PM	42/218
(3D) 10:30PM	16/218
(2D) 6:30PM	46/301
(2D) 7:30PM	157/301
(2D) 8:30PM	42/257
(2D) 10PM	16/301
(2D) 11PM	8/301
(2D) 12:05AM	8/257
	609/3371 =18%

 

 

For comparison: day of Thur Previews

 

Joker: (3:30pm) 760/3741 (4pm start)

Lion King: (4:30pm) 557/3228 (6pm start)

 

I can't find my AEG charts right now but the last one was Endgame: 4,853/5493 (WED 9pm before Thur previews)

 

EDIT: No longer a wait period for Fandango

 

Just looked at the first 3D showing and in the last 1/2 hour it's gone from 42 to 58 seats.

Glad to see It’s doing great

 

Anything over TLJ will be great

[keysersoze123]

I think PS for this movie wont be just for previews. AMC has ticket sales open all the way till 3rd weekend while Regal has it till 2nd Jan. I dont know about Cinemark yet. Its doing phenomenally well. Let us not belittle what we are seeing. I am hope by this weekend have numbers all the way at least till christmas to see how the ticket sales are doing. Dont forget Christmas was 2nd biggest day for SW7.

Not this far out it won't be. Right now anything post Saturday looks pretty dead at the theaters I've looked at. We're still 2 months out after all.

isn't that obvious? I mean Infinity War was par Rogue One only iirc.

[Eric Atreides]

I know people want TROS ticket sales in Philly, but I still got three more movies to track (yes I hate my own health, why do you ask?). But hey, the best is being saved for last  

[keysersoze123]

I tried running my script for AMC and of 4313 preview shows I had pulled in data only for 765 shows. Rest did not return data.

 

For those the numbers are 26466/127778 (765 shows)

 

This is just for thursday previews. The rest(3548 show) are not returning data. I will try again once the dust settles down.

 

FYI the message I am seeing is https://ibb.co/sWt43WN

Tickets have been on sale for three hours.

The trailer dropped 75 minutes ago.

It's 2019 so server capacity is greatly increased.

 

I'M STILL HAVING OCCASIONAL CONNECTION TROUBLE TRYING TO LOG INTO FANDANGO!!!

 

==

 

Okay, not all the time.  But I keep getting the occasional ERROR 500 message on Fandango.

 

...

 

Makes me feel good, to be honest.
