Friday(T-3) - 71486/709417 1246210.44 3863 shows

 

I think 5m previews is the target. Friday PS is chugging along. As I mentioned earlier. its thursday walkups are the key. 

 

NTTD Comp

Thursday Previews - 61496/506600 1059320.56 2866 shows

Friday - 91470/865610 1495775.92 4776 shows

Dune Nationwide T-2 Days

 

THU - $2.4M

FRI - $3M

SAT & Rest - $2.75M Approx

Total - $8.25M Approx

 

At same time THU is slightly behind NTTD. Thinking $4.75-5.25M THU previews. FRI sales are strong, I will wait for another day to judge possible multiple. Right now $35M is possible.

I had my tracking update ready, but BOT's system decided to wipe my autosave  Dune has sold about 110 extra tickets since Saturday, but only 5 of those are for non-PLF showings. It's still skewed towards Dolby and IMAX despite tracking 70% of Black Widow. I'll do a fuller update tomorrow

Not a very good day locally, I'm afraid...

Edited October 21, 2021 by Porthos
Plugged in the wrong comp for F9 - fixed

[Felandria]

I’m interested to know how other theaters are booking Dune in terms of number of showtimes and auditorium selection.

 

looking at Disney Springs, while Dune looks to have 4 screens worth of booking, it’s interesting to note that they only snagged two of the four prime auditoriums, the Dolby and one of the two 300 seaters, the other 300 and the huge 500+ both got taken by Ron’s Gone Wrong, and even with the Disney/Fox connection, that’s rather shocking.

 

they also shoved HK almost entirely into dine in theaters, aside from a lone evening show.

 

for the weekend, Dune is looking at only 14 showings a day, which seems kind of low even with a longer running time, DS has some space they could have cleared out, too, they still have two shows for Dear Evan Hansen, three for Jungle Cruise and one for Black Widow!

 

anyone seen indication that other theaters might be punishing Dune a little for WB’s sins?

I'm noticing it at a lot of other AMCs. The 20plex I track only has it on two screens aside from Dolby and IMAX, one of the largest and one average sized. 3/4 of the largest standard auditoriums are occupied by Halloween Kills

 

And it makes sense that HK got moved into dine-in screens at Disney Springs. They'll always try to prioritize those screens as they fill up a lot quicker than standard shows for the resort's demographics. Food sales will outweigh any additional capacity standard screens would provide for something like HK's second weekend

So thanks to HBO max, we likely will have first below 100m weekend since V2

It's pretty much common knowledge that King Mickey naturally has the Disney Springs AMC wrapped around his fingers following his orders. That's why their movies play much longer there than most other multiplexes (that and the fact that there's arguably no better place to see a Disney movie than on Disney property).

Friday numbers from last night:

 

Eternals MTC2

 

Friday:

Showtimes: 3713

Seats Sold: 16165/620794 (+1285)

Total $ Sales: 216912 (+17238)

 

Strong reactions bump, though not quite as amazing as the bump for Thursday was.

 

Dune MTC2

 

Friday:

Showtimes: 3410 (+1207!)

Seats Sold: 29546/517814 (+5815)

Total $ Sales: 385641 (+73328)

 

Decent jump, well below Bond's jump though, but with this being non-discount-boosted, can catch up tomorrow. Still thinking 14 million Friday is possible. 

 

5-14-17-11 = 47, I would call that a good opening for a Max release. Let's see where it lands.

Sat bump and Sun drop seem optimistic. I would be happy with 40m OW. This seems skewed to fanbase. I wish it had TMobile/Atom deal to pad up numbers :-)

[Starphanluke]

My gut is saying $30-$35M for the weekend for Dune, but I'm going to be bold and predict $60M. 

 

Jk. But I do think $40M can't be taken off the table yet.

Maybe Sunday is optimistic, but I don't think ~20% is particularly out of the norm for a fall opener Sat bump?

It all depend on Walkups. if its as bad as NTTD then all bets are off. That had a lousy saturday bump. We will know tomorrow for sure.

The real big eternals bump will be when reviews hit next week, because there will be a lot more of them than there have been social media reactions.
