I dunno guys, this is starting to feel a little too NTTD for me. They really need to sell this movie towards the non-PLF crowd pronto.

Wednesdays are not as good as Tuesdays it seems. let us see if walkups for HK is as good as what @Menor said yesterday. Even with MTC2 uber strong numbers, it needs to double the number today to hit 5m previews. I think its possible. 

 

Friday PS is uber strong and I am thinking it will hit 110K+ by tomorrow. Then with good walkups it could hit 330K and that should be suffice for 20m friday(minus previews). But lots of ifs and buts. Let us see how the tomorrow goes to get a feel for walkups.

Wowza. Horror films usually have pretty soft pre-sales at this theater but this ain't your average horror film lol. Candyman only had about 67 tickets total sold across Thursday and Friday and that was  the biggest performer out of all the horror films that have come out these past three months. I only left it in there as a comp to give y'all an idea of how absolutely monstrous this film is performing here.

THU is looking around $5M to me as well, but I think FRI PSm might not be that great @keysersoze123. IT 2 had 2.6x PSm, I would expect similar for HK.

 

Also 5M previews, should roughly mean ~$15M FRI.

Yeah, recently it has been feeling like the Th and Fri growth seen on Th is really key for how the whole weekend will trend.

5M previews and 15m True Friday compares to last Halloween 7.7M previews and $25.4 True Friday leading to 76M OW.

 

So what would 5 and 15 do? 40 to 45 OW?

2.6x would mean closer to high teens than 15m. Let us see how things go. Venom 2 surprised with huge walkups and Menor did say horror genre is good with walkups. 

[filmlover]

Dune is the kind of movie that will definitely benefit from being seen on the biggest screen possible, and as we've seen throughout the pandemic era the PLF format has thrived the most. I was lucky to be able to grab the last "good seats" that were available for my IMAX showing that weekend when I bought them the other day.

 

The Last Duel is looking like a pretty sad flop since it was certainly expensive. Normally it would be baffling given the pedigree involved, but between subject matter that was always gonna be a tough sell no matter the release environment and a target audience that has remained hesitant about returning to theaters for the most part, it was always going to face challenges in becoming a hit.

It is supposed to be but THU ratio of OD is one key measure can't ignore. 

 

And then IT2 PSm happened to match with  that so...

 

If THU PSm push it to 5.5, I will be happy to go around 16.5 True Friday.

Had some time to kill since my Gigantes were shitting the bed tonight, so I just did a Quick and Dirty check of Halloween Kills locally.

 

...

 

Could be better. Could be a lot better

 

1042/10125 tickets sold.

 

Have to do various adjusting, but for AQP II that gives a current comp of 2.68m and for F9 that gives 2.77m.

 

(Came down from 3m-ish coz I was using T-3 comps while doing a sample at 4pm)

 

Maybe Sacto is hella underperforming. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

 

FWIW, TSS gives a comp of 4m while V2 gives a comp of 3.2m.  And TSS hella underperformed locally.

 

(as might be expected, this doing quite well post 10pm so something to keep in mind)

 

Guess I'm the one who's gonna be the skunk at the party in regards to Halloween Kills...

 

Did another Q&D run and now have:

 

Halloween Kills [Quick and Dirty]: 1427/10194

 

Comps:

AQP II:   2.89m

F9:         3.21m

TSS:       4.36m

V2:         3.23m

 

Now the good news is nearly all the comps went up.  And if Sacto is underperforming, then the TSS comp might be a good guide as it underperformed here as well.   The other piece of good news is this thing, not unexpectedly, is absolutely killing it in late night shows (well, relatively speaking). 

 

Amusingly enough though, Regal didn't expand at all. Maybe they'll do that tomorrow, but as of right now there is this hilarity:

 

Cinemark locations:  933/6949

Regal locations:        245/2296

Everyone Else:            249/949

 

Now presuming Sacto is in fact underperforming, could see something in the 4 to 5 range.  But if it isn't underperforming, then it might be something more like 3 to 4.  Know soon enough, I suppose.

After seeing some of the other Candyman comps for Halloween I started to question what I was getting; sure enough, I hadn't updated the preview number when I updated from Venom comps.  While it lowers the comp to a much more realistic number, it's still higher than the other comps.  For showtimes, The Last Duel only added two while Halloween Kills added 26 (though none in Raleigh yet for some reason).  Hoping we get a few more today - that 13.17% sold really stands out with still two days left.

 

Halloween Kills

TSS - 1.475x (6.05m)

Venom 2 - .534x (6.2m)

Candyman - 4.806x (9.13m)

Last Duel

Green Knight - .372x (279k)

Old - .402x (604k)

 

Average - 441k.  This one hasn't changed very much throughout the week.  Not sure where others are expecting it to land, but I wouldn't be surprised with 500k

 

Dune

Venom 2 - .96x (11.11m)

F9 - .852x (6.05m)

No Time to Die - 1.2x (6.23m)

 

Average - 7.8m.  Not much movement here either; improved against Venom and F9, but not against NTtD.  

 

Eternals (day 3 comps)

BW - 1.11x (14.67m)

SC - 1.549x (13.63m)

 

Average - 14.15m.  Had a chance to look at ticket prices as well finally.  Here's where it stands so far in my areas:

 

Movie	Tickets	Sales	ATP
Eternals	985	$14,778.95	$15.00
Shang-Chi	636	$8,722.40	$13.71
Black Widow	886	$11,857.30	$13.38

 

Annnd breakdown by format, because why not?

Now presuming Sacto is in fact underperforming, could see something in the 4 to 5 range.  But if it isn't underperforming, then it might be something more like 3 to 4.  Know soon enough, I suppose.

I will not say a previews close to 4m is not possible. With meh walkups its possible. But with MTC2 so strong and good walkups its likely to be close to 5 than 4. 

 

@DAJK how will Halloween kills do in Canada.

The Last Duel counted today at 11am EST for tomorrow:

NY (AMC Fresh Meadows 7): today it said „no showtimes announced yet“ but yesterday it had 4 shows and 8 sold tickets, maybe cancelled?
Miami (AMC Sunset Place 24): 14 (5 showtimes)
Grand Rapids (AMC Grand Rapids 18): 5 (7 showtimes)
Austin (AMC Lakeline 9): 0 (2 showtimes)
Tempe/Phoenix (AMC Centerpoint 11): 13 (4 showtimes)
San Francisco (AMC Metreon 16): 48 (4 showtimes)
LA (AMC Universal): 44 (3 showtimes)

Total tickets sold in 6 theaters: 124.
Up 29% since yesterday.
Comps: Stillwater had on Thursday 72 sold tickets for Friday in the same 6 theaters

and The Green Knight had on the same day 498 sold tickets for Friday in also 6 theaters (no shows in the AMC in Austin).
Yesterday it had ca. 1/3 of the presales of TGK, today it's ¼. We can only hope that the walk-ups are better and therefore it still comes close to 10M OW.

Halloween Kills counted today at 11am EST for today:

NY (AMC Fresh Meadows 7): 194 (6 showtimes)
Miami (AMC Sunset Place 24): 153 (4 showtimes)
Grand Rapids (AMC Grand Rapids 18): 68 (4 showtimes)
Austin (AMC Lakeline 9): 20 (2 showtimes)
Tempe/Phoenix (AMC Centerpoint 11): 105 (6 showtimes)
San Francisco (AMC Metreon 16): 137 (5 showtimes)
LA (AMC Universal): 637 (13 showtimes)

Total tickets sold in 7 theaters: 1.314.

Up ok 31% since yesterday.
Comps (always counted on Thursday for Thursday and in the same 7 theaters, unfortunately I don't have It 2 numbers for that day): AQP II (4.8M from previews) had 1.582 sold tickets = again 83% = 4.0M.
The Forever Purge (1.33M) had 241 sold tickets = 7.25M (so it went a bit down compared to yesterday but that was absolutely espected).
So averagely 5.6M today.

Halloween Kills counted today at 11am EST for tomorrow:

NY (AMC Fresh Meadows 7): 396 (13 showtimes)
Miami (AMC Sunset Place 24): 111 (9 showtimes)
Grand Rapids (AMC Grand Rapids 18): 117 (9 showtimes)
Austin (AMC Lakeline 9): 19 (4 showtimes)
Tempe/Phoenix (AMC Centerpoint 11): 73 (9 showtimes)
San Francisco (AMC Metreon 16): 102 (10 showtimes)
LA (AMC Universal): 757 (11 showtimes)

Total tickets sold in 7 theaters: 1.575.

Up 26% since yesterday.
Comps (always counted on Thursday for Friday and in the same 7 theaters): The Conjuring 3 (9.8M true Friday) had 1.435 sold tickets = x1.10 = 10.8M true Friday,
Old (5.4M) had a nice Thursday jump to 500 tickets = 17M
and The Invisible Man (8.25M) had 894 sold tickets = 14.5M.
Solid but all Friday comparison numbers went down. Which is also not too surprising because two of my three comps are original films which always have the best jumps in the very last days.
Because I don't know it better anyway I stay with 5M+ in previews and 15M on Friday (true Friday).

I got a few days off in a row here just cause I’ve been working a lot of OT since Bond, so I only have local data unfortunately. That being said, local numbers would suggest something around 5.25

I get that Boomers are still cautious about jumping back in the pool, and yeah, it's a movie about rape, but man, looking at these Last Duel numbers is still pretty shocking to me. Great cast, great reviews, and a director that even casual moviegoers associate with quality, and it's trailing The Green Knight in pre-sales? Where did all the people who made Braveheart, Dances With Wolves, and Gladiator a smash go to? 🤔

This is nothing like Gladiator though. If it were I would be there opening weekend. As it is, with this subject matter, I won't even bother streaming it.
