The Box Office Buzz and Tracking Thread: Electric Boogaloo

[That One Girl]

I'll make an extra effort to see movies at specifically marked chains depending on the type of rewards I'll get for seeing it there.  That's why I always check to see what offers are going around

Brigsby Bear is coming for a fucking awful PTA. 

Detroit is losing less than I expected.

That would be a pretty good offer if you didn't have to see TYLER PERRY'S BOO 2! A MADEA HALLOWEEN

[WrathOfHan]

Oh yeah, so much for Lionsgate expanding Glass Castle

I would go for all 4 if I were of legal age to see Jigsaw by myself (since there's no fucking way in hell my mom will see that with me), but I'm not of legal age so I'll just see Hitman's Bodyguard and American Assassin and settle with the 1000 bonus credits.

The next two weeks are gonna be absolutely brutal.

[filmlover]

Just watch: Tulip Fever will be pulled two days before it opens like they did with that animated movie (I think it was called Underdogs?) a few years back.

[WrathOfHan]

The change in All Saints' TC has me wondering if it'll get pulled from my theater. Something similar happened with Billy Lynn (another Sony movie) last November where tickets were on sale but got pulled like a week before release when the theater knew they weren't getting it. I'm pretty much just hoping one of Wind River/Good Time/Ingrid hits the theater because I need to see them.

I doubt you're legal age to see Hitmans Bodyguard or American Assassin either. So it's Boo for you!

I'm not but my mom will be fine going with me to see both of those films.  Jigsaw is straight up torture porn so there's no way in hell she'll come with me to that.

[WrathOfHan]

Final report for tonight:

 

7:00 THB: 39/78

7:00 LL: 31/78

9:45 THB: 2/78

9:50 LL: 0/78

 

I'll give it another hour or two before reporting tomorrow's showings.

[Nova]

Right Before showtime: 

THB: 60 for 7PM 

LL: 9 for 7PM

THB: 22 for 10PM

LL: 2 for 10 PM 

 

THB went up by 22 tickets 

LL stayed flat 

 

Not that it matters because it's only one theater but THB has already outsold Dark Tower for Thursday night here. 

 

I think its preview number will be around $1.8M. Logan Lucky sold worst than Detroit but I'm not the target area. Based on Han's area it seems like it's selling really well where it was marketed so I wouldn't be shocked at 900K-1M for previews if not more. 

[WrathOfHan]

Southern theaters will get Logan Lucky over 10M. I feel confident in that.

American Assassin is rated 18s for "Strong Gory Violence & Torture"

[DAJK]

Looked at 2 bigger theatres in Canada (wasn't sure what 2 to use so I just grabbed 2 I could find on Atom in Kanata and Whitby) both are 24 plexes I think.

 

Logan Lucky just started with 13 people and 19 respectively. Ouch.

 

Hitman's Bodyguard with 85 and 128 respectively. All in all that's pretty solid, and I'm already seeing somenpcked shows in Calgary and Vancouver for tonight.
