So almost flat-ish. 7.8-8.

Jungle Cruise was still struggling at this point so Free Guy makes another big jump on it, improving to 3.59m.   The Respect premiere tomorrow is selling really well; Phoenix just added another show since the first has almost sold out.  I really hope we get a number for this.

Respect (FP) Total			9	10	1,268	319	54	25.16%

 

Free Guy continues to expand its lead on Jungle Cruise (204) in these cities with only four days to go. 

 

Respect (FP) has similar numbers that Old (328) and TGK (355) had on the morning of their previews, but I don't think either of those have much overlap in target audience.  Not sure if I'll be able to do another pull an hour before like I have with the others, but it can only get so high with only 10 shows.

 

Don't Breathe with 24 tickets sold is well behind other horror/suspense movies at this point: Forever Purge (51), Escape Room (46), Old (78).

Final run had another good jump; finished with about 31% sold (including one showing that only sold 14/298).  Hopefully sales for Thursday jump after we get some reviews from this premiere.

I think Respect and Free Guy can both brake out. I wonder if Respect will have a review bump when reviews come out in an hour.

@Eric Quinn can you do a break up of MTC 1 & 2  at your place for Free Guy. Trying to make a relation, as in if FG is really behind JC in just MTC 2.

Only Normal showings started selling. FWIW T-10 days Normal screening numbers are 47% of The Suicide Squad T-7 days.

Free Guy Harkins California T-4 Days

Total	11	3,289	18	0.55%	$234	$13.00

 

Just normal screenings are on sale now and they don't really start selling till final days for small movies. Sold just 10 seats in last 6 days. Need to open Cine1 ASAP. Normal shows are 28% of The Suicide Squad now. 

 

Addendum

Arizona Mills and Estrella Falls

Format	Shows	Capacity	Sold	% Sold	Gross	ATP
Normal	4	631	28	4.44%	$336	$12.00

Sales in Phoenix are better, especially at Estrella Falls. Sales are 116% of The Suicide Squad in normal screenings, but in here TSS was selling much better in IMAX and Cine1.

Well I only track one theater from MTC2, because there's not a lot around Philly. That theater...doesn't have Free Guy showings yet.

 

As for MTC1, that is the majority of what I track and their Free Guy sales make up about 83% of all tickets sold so far. But they usually take up a majority anyways here in Philly, just because of more locations and I guess maybe also just because of AMC A-List. I dunno, I don't know what their usual skew is and it's almost 1 AM here, so I don't think I'll do it at this point in time.

Didn't have time to check next week's releases yet.  Free Guy didn't do as well on Sunday as JC did, but it still has a good lead.  Currently pacing for 3.44m against JC.  

 

Don't Breathe is <50% of where ER2 and FP were at this point.  The closest comp I have is...Stillwater, which was at 26 tickets sold.  A little surprised with how well the first one performed.  I guess this is another unwanted sequel coming out too late.

[poweranimals]

Is there any chance that Free Guy will open bigger than JC?

It's not impossible. Presales around the States seem to range from being on par with Jungle Cruise to better than it. We'll get a clearer picture within the next few days.

[WrathOfHan]

I love the first Don't Breathe and don't give a shit about the sequel. The only time I've seen the trailer is with Old.

[BestPicturePlutoNash]

Jungle Cruise had very strong walkups so Free Guy probably needs to beat it tremendously in presales to compensate. I don't see this attracting same level of walkups as a Rock Disney movie. And from what I'm personally seeing, it's not beating Jungle Cruise is presales

[TwoMisfits]

So, for trackers, TMobile has $4 Respect tickets tomorrow as their TMobile Tuesday deal...I expect this to be a big seller in cities with normally $20 tickets...and this will obviously bump MTC 1/2 (as an Atom deal)...

There was a pretty interesting divergence between regionals and MTC2 last week, thought maybe it would sort itself out naturally by this week. Seems like not. Probably means relatively overindexing at MTC1 but would be great to know for sure.

Yeah. Ideally they should have gone today but I realised Disney film releasing next week, so will start after weekend.
