It is selling very well at Disney Springs. Meanwhile, Home Again has their biggest auditorium and has sold nothing  

 

mother! has sold 1 ticket for Thursday and 2 for Friday while American Assassin hasn't sold anything yet.

but...why

Probably because It will have 4+ screens while Home Again will probably have one standard and one dine-in. Still a bad decision though

I did notice in some theaters in Wisconsin like Bistroplex, IT is pacing the same as Homecoming and Wonder Woman.

Huh?  It's number 3 right now, and I doubt it just showed up.

I checked this morning around 6 hours ago and it wasn't in top 5 so it emerged after that.

Presales and looking at the cinemas around my area (Toronto, Ontario).

I'm just north of Toronto and have tried tracking stuff and comparing it to the US for presales. It doesn't seem to align properly tbh. You could be right but I've pre-bought tons of movies and checked presales and nothing matches up usually. I've found most movies around here fill up more by walks up. 

 

Right now my 7:30pm showtime(dbox/avx) on Friday has 19 seats sold in a theatre with like 300 or so seats.

I live in the heart of Toronto - downtown, which I think is much different than outskirts since Toronto used to be just one big area and the presales for movies that do well in US usually has a lot of buzz here too, in downtown.

I posted 3-4 hours ago that it reappeared and was 5.7% on MT

This movie has more hype than I've seen for pretty much anything so the idea that it barely outdoes Conjuring seems way off. If anything this is much more likely.to surprise way to the upside vs tracking (I think a lot of older King fans will be shocked to find this movie sold out when they come to book last minute).  Good news is we will know soon enough!  Anyway, I'll just stick to data points from here.  Will update on my local theaters and the two theaters I found with the lowest relative sales I mentioned before.  If those fill up too then look out.  

 

For general data points - follows on the twitter account really taking off now as is "it movie" on Google trends.

Maybe you're right, I'll guess we'll see on the weekend. I'm at like Yonge and Steeles which is like 25 minutes or so from downtown but I don't track downtown theatres at all.

How does the Fandango Box Office meter work? Is it live sales?

Supposed to be live I think, but the "times" I see attached to the buys as they scroll on the top left are usually 10-20minutes before the current time.  I don't know if that signifies a 10-20 minute delay or incorrect time-stamping

[WrathOfHan]

Too lazy to find the thread, but some critics have seen Home Again and are hinting it's VERY bad

Yeah that shit got me confused as hell. There's also this pattern where movies are quite scattered during the day, but during the night time IT just starts dominating like crazy. This has been the case since at least the past week - when I started checking.
