@Eevin is going to shit himself. IT is running slightly ahead of Homecoming at my theaters in terms of presales now.

And my theater isn't even in the top 5 of the state. South Shore, which is #2, is eating IT up like it's going out of style.

Was looking at random presale comps, and Star Wars is a different beast altogether. Rogue One had about 20x the presales Thor managed in the first 12 hours. Not a typo - 20X. In the first 24 hours, Rogue One had about 4.5M in presales in the first 24 hours. Just for perspective - IT's final presales isn't that much, and the first 24 hour presale for R1 is just about lower than Wonder Woman and SMH.

Deep Wang updates:

- IT ends higher than the final numbers we had for Doctor Strange and Fantastic Beasts. About 20% lower than Wonder Woman and 24% lower than SMH

- Thor is about 70-75% of Guardians 2 numbers, don't have Civil War comps and BATB was in a different stratosphere altogether with more than double of what Thor is at currently

Don't see it having a much more frontloaded OW than Fantastic Beasts, so I think $75m is the floor here. Those #s relative to WW and SMH put it in the $80m-$90m range, but I think it'll be a bit less frontloaded than either of those.

[Eevin]

Also fwiw, Mojo's pegging IT at $80-85m

[WrathOfHan]

Bumping my prediction up to 80M based on the WW comparison and foreign grosses.

[YM!]

I am thinking due to Irma and Football, IT will have a crazy OD, like $40M+, but have a $80M-$90M OW:

Should top 1,000 tickets sold. On Beauty and the Beast and Wonder Woman have achieved that so far.

 

BATB: 1,107 sold

Wonder Woman: 1,270 sold

 

I am curious to see how walk-ins are. Generally walk in sales begin 30 minutes before the film starts. 

Walk-ins for the 3 7pm showings have started. Right now it sits at 1,033 tickets sold. It should easily surpass BATB and possibly WW. 

[HenryMeyers20]

It, $100 million ow

Home Again, $5 million ow

[Jonwo]

I'll be happy if it's close to American Sniper's $89m OW, so that the September record and the January record are in the high $80m range.

For the moment at Tyson's Mclean AMC (in mall) IT has sold $10,680.95 via 90 IMAX, 234 Dolby, 281 Regular tickets.  It has 6 showings left to start.

 

Planet of the Apes is the only comp I have for Thursday previews and it sold $9,958.50 that night.  I don't think this is a perfect comp as POTA didn't do nearly as well in the surrounding theaters as IT seems to be so I think this particular mall AMC is going to way underestimate how far above POTA IT is tonight in Northern VA/DC/MD.

 

I'll update as the other showings come up - I'm going to the 10:30pm Dolby myself though so will update later.

My theater sold $15,000+ tonight...if you take the average ticket price. 

[Deja23]

It:

Thursday ended at 731/737, 99% with 3 sold out shows

Friday at 839/1286, 65%

Saturday at 737/1286, 57%

Sunday at 377/1286, 29%

 

Home Again is selling around 5% of It

[Rumpot]

Since I was in a showing I missed the final tallies for the last few shows, but from what I got : IT made $12,843.01 at this theater or about 29% more than POTA Thursday previews.  

[dxmatrixdt]

it worries me that It might not be selling well on Pulse when I see Thor tickets sales popping up a few times every minute!

Getting 85-90 tickets per min for IT at 930am EST

[WrathOfHan]

Kingsman is selling about 1 ticket per minute on Pulse.

Ouch. I think the ceiling for that film is 150M. Outside of the comic book and movie fandom, not too much excitement for this or Blade Runner, which makes me sad

[filmlover]

I never understood the massive predictions for Kingsman 2, even with the plethora of talent they brought on board. The first film was well-received but it doesn't feel like anyone emerged from it eagerly anticipating a sequel (which seems to be the most important factor for a sequel to show growth from its predecessor these days). I'm thinking its total will stay in the same range or slightly decrease.

pro.boxoffice.com has an extremely round 100/250 prediction up for Thor Ragnarok
