Yeah, pretty poor day overall, even with good comp rises for Bond. But eh, these days happen from time to time, so you might as well roll with the punches and hope things bounce back quick.

[charlie Jatinder]

I don't have numbers, but Canada will over index for NTTD, so the US comps will be a bit down. If comps are suggesting $5.5M, the actuals very well be $6M. 

 

Spectre 15% of total box office came from Canada, weekend may be 13-14% as compared to usual 8-9%. Now with better Exchange rate, ratio may be 16-17% overall gross, but then there is capacity restriction to worry about as well.

 

Spectre Canada Week 1 - C$17.8M (U$13.5M) (14.16%)

 

To put this in context, Age of Ultron Week 1 was C$23.8M (U$19.1M). (8.1%)

Well, I was looking through showtimes for DEH and noticed that there's a second listing on Fandango for the Q&A that I hadn't previously seen.  Not sure if that had been mentioned here, but it definitely has been affecting the preview sales.  This should inflate the preview number and possibly drag down the multiplier a bit with it only being available on Thursday.

DEH comps

In the Heights - .508x (508k)

 

I went back to confirm the 1m previews from my sheet and found this in Deadline's article from that week:

 

Quote

Also, I hear a bulk of In the Heights business is coming from NYC this weekend, which is no surprise. Imax and PLF repped a third of In the Heights‘ business to date.

...

In the Heights did around $1M+ in Thursday previews, I understand.

 

The lack of PLF screens for DEH may be a big factor and pull it down from that comp even more.

Good to know regarding ITH's Thursday. I'll use 1M on Thurs and 4M on Fri from now on.

[Legion Again]

I had long used 1.2M as a guesstimate for the “1M+,” shouldn’t make a huge difference though.

There seems to be a huge group sale at one of the showings, which is why Friday increased so much. Looked at other showings in the same auditorium, and it was all normal. So I'm gonna assume this is real...

 

[Ezen Baklattan]

Dear Evan Hansen
Tracking Date	Showtime Date	Sellouts	Showings	Seats Sold	Total Seats	% Sold
9/22/2021	9/24/2021	0	6	52	541	9.61%
9/22/2021	9/24/2021	0	15	161	1439	11.19%

 

 

I'm back! Will probably focus on week of tracking to keep my own workload as light as possible.

 

These numbers are at about 63% of what ITH managed so far, including both Thursday and Friday. Because of fewer showtimes and only having PLF in one of the two theaters (Shang Chi is also keeping the largest auditorium in both), % sold is a bit greater.

 

Worth noting that half the tickets sold for Friday come from two primetime showings available from the start of ticket sales, most other screenings are pretty dead, even the other primetime venues. 9 of the 15 shows on Friday have sold five tickets or less. Also, most of the ticket sales on Thursday come from the Fathom event Q&A.

 

Other comparisons (Thursday+Friday):

 

• 663% of In The Heights
• 93% of Old
• 48% of Jungle Cruise

I think Heights is the best comp - the other two are more walkup friendly, but at the moment most tracking signs seem accurate so far.

What's this chatter about Venom 2 missing 100m domestic. That does anyway looks possible looking at presales. Its motoring along and now looks well ahead of F9 at MTC1 and will be ahead at MTC2 as well. OD PS is has started to inch ahead of Previews PS as well. Thinking its previews will be closer to 9m and friday BO 20m+.

 

Venom 2 Previews (T-8)

MTC1 - 34665/577327 584914.17 2849 shows

MTC2 - 23366/537862 322616.26 239959.03 3385 shows

 

Venom 2 Friday(T-9)

MTC1 -  25875/791501 432649.70 3785 shows

MTC2 -  21333/855705 272305.30 214982.56 5458 shows

 

Showcount is super impressive considering there is final week surge. Its ahead of Black Widow if I am not wrong when it comes to showcount.

The first movie did 32.5M OD on its way to a 80M+ OW. What a beast performance that was.

MTC data looks more like 7-8 to me, will try a more detailed projection in a few more days of data.

MTC1 ratio is better than F9 so it will have that edge. Roughly I think it's headed for 150k and 120k, how exactly that translates depends on final ATP. Friday sales are also quite strong, par F9 at MTC2.

Yeah, I mean, usually a disagreement in final projection will come down to what is being assumed for final few day growth, right? I think this will beat SC in % growth since it has a smaller base, but I don’t know about beating SC final few days in raw sales, which would certainly be needed to go past 8.5 given the comparable PTA. The F9 comp will end up being a bit misleading imo, but it’s hard to say for sure ‘til we see it.

The reason I’m waiting another few days is to see how it can do vs SC in run rate as we approach that critical final week. For the first few days after t-10 it seems to be pacing around 100% at mtc1 and more like 60% MTC2.

SC review drop messes with t-10 adjacent run rate comps. Should understate things unless V2 stalls. Then again, I wouldn't be surprised if the lack of any review drop for Venom means its second-to-last week is just flat and that 60% holds. Final week will tell the tale. Of course, lack of reviews could also impact walkups/final week to some extent or another, I have no idea. When was the last time we had a blockbuster movie with this late of a review drop (and likely awful reviews to boot)?

 

Edit: Digging around bc I don't remember any big movies doing this in 2019...even the first Venom did it a couple days before.
