Really depends on what you're looking for, but usually the most important takeaway for just a casual glance is the comp.  More on that in a bit.   But even that is highly dependent on a movie being either in a similar genre or having a similar pre-sale pattern as folks will buy tickets at different times during a pre-sale window thanks to a very long list of factors.   Add in that movies will have different promotional schedules during their pre-sales (review embargoes, TV ca

MODERATION:   Hi, everyone. It’s 6 o’clock in the morning. I have not gone to bed yet. And I am tired. And I know it’s going to be a very long weekend. Here is the new rule.   This thread is for numbers and data. Please post your theater updates. Please post your comparable data. And please talk about that comparable data here.    If you wish to do a deep dive on why you think that data might or might not suck, then take it to the respective thread of the movie in ques

So, figured I'd post my 1st local 12's Friday lineup - they are keeping mother! with a full screen, but I think this is the last week they do so.  They are giving Kingsman 2 screens, but so far Lego Ninjago only a split 3d/2d one (usually kiss of death to animated - usually indicates a $30M max opening weekend if my theaters are anything to go by)...funny enough, there is 1 screen unaccounted for, so they may be watching presales on Ninjago/Kingsman/It for the weekend before they decide what is going on it (or they may be renovating that screen...I haven't been watching this theater the last few weeks, so it may actually be using the down time to renovate a screen/week - happened at another theater I frequent earlier this summer, although they did it 6 screens at a time, so they could be done in 2 weeks:)...

 

Kingsman (2)

It (2)

Lego Ninjago (1)

Friend Request (1)

American Assassin (1)

My 1st local is up and again, they look like they are planning last minute again...for now, they've only allocated 10.5 screens, so I'd look for more foreign films to be booked last minute or if they fall through, something already booked getting extra showings...here's the list...screens in parentheses...(notice the large amount of holdovers not kept)...

 

NEW

Spyder (2) (not kidding - this is getting the most screens of any movie this weekend)

American Made (1) (dropped to smallest theater type, like Flatliners, after its sales return - it did not start in this size on Monday)

Flatliners (1)

Battle of the Sexes (1)

 

Returning

Jeepers Creepers 3 reserved seating report

I got back to this 15 minutes before start time, so the numbers should be fairly accurate. 

This report covers 9 locations in the Southern California area.  Tickets were $12.50 each except for one location that had it at $10.  In about three locations, there was student discounts etc., but I calculate max price and assume any difference is made with walkups after start time (which I would have no way of seeing). 

 

Regal #1 - Two medium sized theaters, each started at 7:00.  Each theater houses 72 occupants including handicapped spots.  The final numbers were 64/72 and 43/72.  The combined number of the two prints playing at 7:00 at this particular location is 107 sold out of 144 spots available.  The tickets were $12.50 each.  The total amount spent at this Regal location for Tuesday , September 26th, was $1,337.50.  This theater averaged $668.75 per print. 

 

Edwards #1 -  One medium sized theater, one print, started at 7:00.  The theater houses 81 occupants.  The number was 71/81 and the ticket price was $12.50.  The total amount spent at this Edwards location for Tuesday, September 26th, was $887.50.

 

Harkins #1 - This Harkins mall always does extreme business at the wierdest times.  I guess I would have to scout out this theater someday to understand what the hell goes on there.  There were 3 prints playing at 7:00 p.m.  Two large theaters and one medium.  The numbers were 123/137, 79/109, and 100/137.  The combined numbers for the three showtimes was 302/383 and a total amount spent of $3,775.  The average per print of the three showtimes was $1,258.33.

 

AMC #1 - This AMC theater is a spot I always look for horror sell outs.  This time, it did not stick.  I was expecting many prints for this location.  A neighboring AMC is running about 5 prints for Jeepers Creepers 3.  This location showed 2 prints, each at 7:00 p.m.  The first showtime was a small theater and sold out in advance its occupancy of 34 seats.  The second showtime got added earlier this afternoon, replacing Hitman's Bodyguard 7:30 show.  Its final # was 48/77.  The combined number for the two shows was 82/111 for a total spent of $1,025.  The average between the two prints was $512.50. 

 

AMC #2 - Two medium sized theaters, each started at 7:00.  The numbers were 88/93 and 69/97 for a combined total of 157/190.  The total spent at this location was $1,962.50.  The average spent per print was $981.25.

 

Cinemark #1 - One 7pm showing on one medium sized screen.  56 people showed up for the 71 seat capacity.  The amount spent was $700 for this single print/showtime.

 

Cinemark #2 - This one might have had a typo.  The start time was earlier at 6:30 pm and the Fathom Event cost was a flat $10.  I could not get a final number for this, but my earlier number was 83/89.  Assume the 6 open seats were for handicapped slots and this one was a clean sellout.  $830 spent there.

 

Cinemark #3 - Here is another theater I would like to visit someday.  Sometimes I will look and this place always seems barren with so many large theaters.  However, sometimes it is the complete opposite.  The case tonight would be of the latter.  This observation was about the same as when I glanced at Rings back in Winter.  3 prints were showed there tonight.  Two started at 7pm, and one at 7:30.  All were large theaters.  The numbers at 7pm were as follows:  162/208 and 158/201.  The number that I got at 7:20pm for the 7:30 showing was 118/170.  For the three showings at this location (Baldwin Hills), the combined numbers were 438/579.  I wonder if this theater had a giant entry door poster countdown or something.  The total amount spent here today was $5,475 and a print average of $1,825.

 

Cinemark #4 - The last one being reported is a place that seems famous for late night horror sell outs.  No matter the movie, it seems there will be a sellout after 10pm.  I would also like to visit this place someday (Downey).  There was a 7:00 showtime, a 9:30 showtime, and two more for 11:00 and 11:15.  The 7pm and 930 showtimes are of the same print.  Same theater.  The 11:00 and 11:15 showtimes are different theaters.  Here are the numbers.

7:00 - 95/101

9:30 - 93/101 - It ended up saying Sold Out before 7:00.  This theater has 8 handicapped spots so I am going to go with 93. 

11:00 - 93/100 at 7:55 pm with one non-handicap spot remaining.  I am reporting the final number at 94/100.

11:15 - 43/63 as of 7:57 pm with 13 non-handicap spots remaining.  I am reporting the final number at 56/63.

The total numbers are 338/365 with $4,225 spent.

The average for the 3 prints is $1,408.33, but the average for each of the four showtimes is $1,056.25.

 

 

FINAL NUMBERS

9 locations.  18 prints.  19 showtimes.  2,013 seats available. 

 

Final total spent = $20,217.50

 

PTA = $2,246

 

print average = $1,123

showtime average = $1,064.

 

Assumption:  1,000 prints shown nationwide = 1.123 million Tuesday.

My local cinema is keeping mother! Between the nature of the film and the fact that they booted it to one of the 70-seaters last weekend, I was sure it was a goner...but they're dumping Dunkirk instead, so I'm glad I caught it again on Sunday.

 

...meanwhile, the other cinema in town that has refused to show R-rated films throughout its 12-year existence is still running Cars 3, Despicable Me 3, and The Nut Job 2 four times per day.
