Does it?

Certainly does to me, even with everything you mentioned. GvK will be a higher share of total BO on Wed than Fri and Sat, so if I had a Plex I’d be giving it the most seats Wed and possibly give some seats back to holdovers for the weekend rather than vice versa.

Overall seat count includes blocked seats. So take that into account. 

True, but that will be the case for Wednesday as well. 

[charlie Jatinder]

Wait. So it's already 10% on overall seat count. I thought 10% is of available seats. Considering many places like NYC are limited at 25%, that 10% is way way more impressive.

Approx sales

 

Wed - $1.5M

Thu - $0.35M

Fri - $0.55M

Sat - $0.7M

 

Rest probably $0.5M.

 

Total - $3.6M

 

That's already +55% WW84 T-3 days 3 days excluding PWPs.

Friday:  734 sold out of 2637 total

Saturday: 1404 sold out of 2968 total

Sunday:  369 sold out of 2744 total. 

Assuming 75% of these are for GvK, that's 2600 PWPs at MTC2. Nationwide probably 7.5-8k approx 3 days ago. That's $1.5-1.6M approx. 

 

By today probably $1.75M.

 

$5M total pre-sales.

It's weird. Yesterday, one sellout was removed, but now it just came back. It was a smaller auditorium though, so it could be they found new seats quickly. I dunno fam

Lots of added showtimes today, pretty slow sales for only a day or so left until it comes out though.

 

Here are some non monetary comps (for 12 hours before release compared to the 24/40 hours for GVK)

 

Hobbs and Shaw - 361/3560 (10.14%) 

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood - 296/2230 (13.27%) 

Joker - 446/2756 (16.18%)

WW84 - 734/2416 (30.38%)

 

None of these are perfect comps (due to the 12 hour before I used for night before which is when GvK has previews) but gives a rough idea of how GvK is selling relative to other blockbusters, I’ll leave these up unchanged for tomorrow as well.

More seriously, don't know what to tell ya folks.  This thing ain't slowing down one iota locally.  Doesn't mean this is happening across the country, especially without Regal in the equation, just that it's doing pretty well locally all things considered.

Yeah, turns out I'll still have to worry about it for GvK, as none of the Regals will be open by its OD.  Going forward though, you're absolutely right.

Thanks for the heads up about it. 👍

 

As an aside, I'll be VERY surprised if the theater within a stone's throw of me (Regal Delta Shores) isn't one of the ones opening up on the 2nd, given that they were one of the few still open last year when Regal went bare-bones on the downlow.

Does your region have a decent Cinemark presence? Or is it mostly just AMC heavy?

[Legion Again]

So including PWP the KOTM comp in Sacro gets you like 17M, and it’s been increasing steadily.    
 

Not exactly a meaningful comp (like, at all) but overall the occupancies and daily pace we’re seeing look pretty good.

FWIW remove 10% of that for Canada, it's still pretty strong $15M. That's about where pre-sales suggest but we need to know how bad PSm will be.
