Sunday and Monday were both good overall. I suspect today won't be a bad day either based on my intermediate runs at MTC2.

I should clarify — some regionals seem to be on a pretty steady seesaw. Don’t really know why. But it is the sort of things that mostly washes out at national scale data, and national data is really where it’s at.

Ummmm....

 

WHEN DID SHANG-CHI GET AN EARLY ACCESS SHOWING?????

 

(Just saw a 5pm showing over at Cen Arden labeled "Early Access")\

 

EDIT:::

 

Not showing up on Fandango, so that would explain why I never noticed it. 

 

Has this been a Cinemark exclusive all along and no one told me???

I'll do a more through scan tonight, but it looks like Century Arden has the only Early Access showing of Shang-Chi in the entire region.  I'll double check Regals tonight.

 

I'll add it to the comp, but not as part of today's sales.

 

Not gonna bump things up too much as it's presently only 48 tickets sold, but I don't want to muck with the day-to-day analysis too much by claiming it as part of today's sales.

 

In case any of the national trackers want to check this out, this is "MovieId=86123" over at MTC2.

 

It'll be an utter pittance of showings as I can't even find any info whatsoever about this on Google. But I've found it at at least one other random Cinemark location.

 

...

 

Seriously, was the like no press release about this?  Like, at all???  Checked out the Twitter feed on Cinemark and came up nada.  

 

...

 

How random.  Whatever.

I think it's normalization after yesterday seemed a bit too good to be true (86% of BW's pace was too big). Probably will trend better tomorrow. 

Yeah it is. I should add that today's pace was about 72% of BW. Still a solid pace, it would end at 8.56M for the straight BW comp, and 8.96M for the adjusted.

By the way forgot to ask this a while back but does the MTC data include people that rent out a full theatre for the $200-300? Or are you unable to track that? @keysersoze123 @Menor

 

Because it seems to be a somewhat popular thing to do to make sure that people know who will be in the theatre with them with Delta concerns. 

 

To add what others have said, locally, there's almost no showings for any Private Watch Parties on Thursday Night.  Not like at the height of things like GvK.

 

Near as I can tell, out of all the theaters I track, only three Cinemark locations are publicizing PWPs for Thur Night.  Combined, three out of five PWPs have been sold.  At $250 a pop, that's not nothing.  But at only three, it's still not worth noting.  For comparison, AQP II (which was the last major movie to really have many PWPs) had 9 PWPs sold while GvK had ***83***.  

 

In other words:  Meh.

 

It's right at the border of mattering (looks to be the equivalent of about 75 to 80 tickets by some rough math), and I suppose if all five showings sell out, I'll thinking about making some sort of adjustment for it.  But until then, I repeat: Meh.

 

(Yes, this is what I was looking into when I got sidetracked)

Thanks for contextualising with local numbers, does seem it will have a minimal effect at best.

Yeah this is weird. I guess I'll figure out how to account for it tomorrow. Probably will not make a big difference anyway.

Shang-Chi and the Legend of The Ten Rings

North Shore Cinema (2 days before previews, 3 before release)

Mequon, WI

9/3/21

 

6:00 - 40/116

7:00 - 93/301 - UltraScreen 

7:45 - 9/63

8:30 - 0/146


215.6% ahead of Birds of Prey ($104.2M)

14.5% ahead of Venom ($91.9M)

95.9% of Ant-Man and The Wasp ($72.7M)

67.2% of Spider-Man: Homecoming ($78.8M)

59% of Thor: Ragnarok ($72.6M)

50.7% of IT ($62.6M)

47.8% of Justice League ($44.9M)

 

 

It’s good to back dropping some ticket tracking locally y’all. Anyways while these comparisons are very old, it’s impressive that Shang-Chi for the most part is closely following these comparisons during a pandemic with less preview showtimes. I think that a $65m-$70m weekend seems really likely.

I live on the border of a city called Markham in Ontario that has a pretty large Asian population. My theatre is selling well but the theatre in the heart of Markham that is an Imax/VIP theatre is selling really big, already 545 tickets sold and that place is mostly premium prices. It’s especially good when you factor in that we have limited seating in each theatre. But I looked at the surrounding cities and all are selling well as well so I think it’s just doing well in most theatres I’ve looked at.

Another good day. Previews sales did not amp up as much as what I thought was possible after yesterday's sales. But Friday had ginormous increase in showcount and excellent ticket sales as well. Tomorrow Friday will overtake Previews PS. 

 

Edit: Updated with Saturday PS.

Very solid, but not spectacular day.  Shang-Chi did approx 71% of Black Widow's T-3 locally. 

 

Not too much else to say, except perhaps, yes the TSS comp remains useless.  Barring the occasional blip, here in Sacto it's 'steady as she goes' for a low to mid 8m comp.  Have to see how much showtime expansion helps goose the numbers tomorrow.  BW sold 706 tickets locally at T-2, so 70% of that would be just shy of 500 (491.4).

As discussed a bit up thread, I discovered that at least some Cinemark locations (probably a very very few of them) are having a Early Access showing at 5pm, and Century Arden is one of them.  At the time I spotted it, it had sold 48/118 tickets and so I put that information in a separate block.

 

All other screenings contributed 490 tickets sold, which means that Shang-Chi's tickets sold on T-2 was 69% of Black Widow's T-2 tickets sold.

 

So, yes, it was a very nice day locally.  Still thinking mid to low 8's as a local comp, but we'll see what the last two days bring.

Before posting Harkins, Sacramento chart

As can be seen that, unlike BW where T-2 day was well short of first day of sales, SC has reached its first day of sale like F9. Now let's see if its flat tomorrow like F9 or jump like BW, I suppose/hope the latter. Say 850 tomorrow and 2.1k on final day for total of 6.3k as against 9.2k of BW and 4.4k of F9.
