Keyser is way better than Pulse though.

I love Keyser and all the data they provide! I love this thread in general and all the users who contribute to it. 

 

Pulse was just personally helpful. Although not perfect. If there was a movie that I wanted to track, especially the smaller ones, I could use its data. Like I wanted to see how The Gentleman was doing and a movie like that was easier to track using pulse tracker versus locally where my theater doesn't put showtimes up until the Tuesday/Wednesday before release for a movie like it. 

Thank you Menor. But I understand where Nova says. Pulse just gave real time perspective without someone going through the hoops to get the data. it democratized the BO tracking. Plus it clearly gave perspective of where movie is going even with sample data. You were on the point with TS4. 

 

But had pulse existed I would have never tried to get this data 🙂 Plus so many trackers( @Eric Dolittle and others have started to provide city level data which we did not have prior to Pulse).  So at least we are not going blind.

Random question for this thread but does anyone know if a website exists to see whether TV spots are being run for a particular movie? I remember seeing something of sorts a couple years ago but considering everything changes I didn't know if it was still around.

Admission prices keep going up which make it seem like admissions are also on the rise but that's not the case. A lot of people just wait for movies to pop up online unless they're a "must see" movie so unless chains start cutting back on prices or give more affordable monthly plans, admissions will probably stagnate/keep falling. 

Which is why long game with disney interests me. Do family with disney plus start saying " we can wait a few months it will be on disney plus" for movies. That might hurt them in film, but if they go the route of high quality films direct to disney plus with a premium subscription, less focus on theatres for them

 

Its a lot of hypotheticals thats why im intrigued to see how they manage it

I understand that too, but your data is actual data which is way better than the sample. With Pulse especially for bigger movies it began to break down because of the daily caps. Pulse was pretty much useless for Endgame and probably would have been for TROS as well.

I agree. As I said if pulse existed we would not have so many folks providing extensive tracking data. 

 

Do you think you can get get MTC3 to work or that is a hard nut to crack?

I think its doable, it's just that I've had exams in the past couple of weeks so I haven't really been able to look at it.

definitely its not that important. hope the exams went well. take your time and hope you dont get IP Banned doing it 🙂

 

@ZackM also said its possible and so may be one of you have it working before biggies this year. Bad Boys itself broke out way higher than optimistic prediction and hopefully there are many more.

Do we know when Birds of Prey tickets go on sale?

[cdsacken]

Mtc4 is opening a theater near me. Not sure if that is good or not, we'll see 

[Nova]

@keysersoze123 do you have any data on the movies opening this weekend? Was just wondering how The Turning and The Gentlemen are looking especially with BB3 breaking out big time.

I have not looked so far. I doubt these movies will have huge PS this early. most of the action will happen wed/thu. 

 

Since you asked I will take a look and revert back.

Thank you! Don’t feel like you have to look at them since like you said presales probably won’t have much action for those movies until later in the week

The Turning better make 200m OW given how many times I’ve seen the trailer in the last year
