A family oriented film on thursday night not as busy. Still expected a little bit more for pixar film a week out. I have to wonder how much the ""its fair but average" i keep reading is affecting, that and how much sonic may have become a watch instead for some families on a budget.

The Invisible Man, counted today at 10am EST:

NY (AMC Fresh Meadows 7): 183 (total tickets sold for Thursday) / 252 (total tickets sold for Friday, 11 showtimes)
Boston (AMC Assembly Row 12): 56 / 86 (12 showtimes)
Boston (Boston Common 19): 55 / 98 (12 showtimes)
Miami (AMC Sunset Place 24): 76 / 65 (13 showtimes)
Grand Rapids (AMC Grand Rapids 18): 16 / 9 (8 showtimes)
Austin (AMC Lakeline 9): 3 / 6 (2 showtimes)
Tempe/Phoenix (AMC Center Point 11): 16 / 18 (4 showtimes)
San Francisco (AMC Metreon 16): 184 / 169 (14 showtimes)
LA (AMC Bay Street): 83 / 20 (11 showtimes)
LA (AMC Universal): 150 / 109 (12 showtimes)
Total tickets sold in 10 theaters till today for Thursday: 822 and for Friday: 832.

Comps: Scary Stories had on Wednesday 645/475 sold tickets, Crawl 261/209, Countdown 170/131, Underwater 179/170, Gretel & Hansel 199/190, Fantasy Island had 0/663 and The Boy II 77/59.
Again especially its Friday number is promising. An OW under 30M would surprise me.

No Time to Die is being weird with Thursday previews. I know that IMAX showings are getting early screenings, so they’re showing throughout the day on Thursday. Don’t see anything earlier than that though. But it seems other premium formats are getting that treatment too. RPX(Regal), and Cinemark XD are showing all day too. We’ll see if AMC follows suit. At this rate they might as well fully release it on Thursday.

Its hugely overindexing at MTC1. OD PS continue to be higher than Preview PS which is good news. I think its good for 20m. How much higher I dont know at this point. Let us see where things are on thursday.

Its show count have gone up big time especially for OD. I still dont see previews more than 2m and based on OD PS I dont see more than low 20's OW. Let us see how walk ups are tomorrow and see if that number goes up. Its BO is dominated by Imax/PLF in large cities.

I think walkups will carry it to high 20s.

I wont say impossible  but data so far make it look unlikely. At this point I dont see OD more than 3x previews based on how OD PS is. That will only take OW to 11x previews. Not enough for high 20's. 

 

@charlie Jatinder what would be PS to OD ratio for a movie like IM. Can it more than Triple OD PS?

Damn so this movie's Friday # could very well be below 8M? That would be HUGELY disappointing

Great thing about keeping expectations low like I did for this movie means that anything in the 20s for the weekend is an overperformance.

I don't believe it'll come to that but it's a cheap movie so it's an automatic hit anyway you slice it. over 20M OW is happening.

Yeah easily. May be 4.25-5x.

Ugh I just want "original" content to break-out this year (yea, I'm calling IM original in this case cause at least it's an original script despite the character). 2020 is definitely an off-year for the big franchise fare, and it's a chance for some new properties to make their mark. We already had dormant franchises like BBFL do huge business, as well as potential franchise-starters like Sonic. Call of the Wild overperformed relative to expectations. I want to see this do great. 

[Valonqar]

TIM is well positioned to open big for that kind of a movie. No horror competition since all other flopped. Nothing of note next week. Strong buzz and reviews. It'll deliver. Sometimes you have to throw stats out of the window and go with your gut instrinct.

With the looming threat of a potential coronavirus outbreak in this country, I'd say this definitely won't be a predictable year lol (pray things don't come to that for the sake of everyone, not just the movie industry).
