The Box Office Buzz and Tracking Thread: Electric Boogaloo

Recommended Posts

Quote

 

Playing in 2,800 North American theaters, “West Side Story” is tracking to generate $10 million to $15 million in its opening weekend. Some box office prognosticators believe ticket sales could reach $20 million, but others have cautioned that number may not be realistic for an adult-driven musical romance drama that’s arriving in a still-impaired moviegoing market. The spreading omicron variant could be a drag on ticket sales, too.

 

Compared to other potential Oscar players, which have been struggling at the box office, a double digit start wouldn’t be a terrible result. Advanced ticket sales for “West Side Story” have been on par with MGM’s star-studded crime drama “House of Gucci,” which opened to $14 million around Thanksgiving and has continued to entice audiences. However, anything below $15 million would be a middling tally for a film of “West Side Story’s” scope. The problem is the Disney and 20th Century Studio’s revival cost $100 million, not including the millions spent to promote the film, which has been pushed back several times due to COVID-19.

I felt it was best to use non-EA shows, as that amounted to about 1,408 seats sold and a gross of...1.5M. Yeah, that's just too out of whack here. And yeah, that Jungle Cruise comp isn't good right now, but things will go down to Earth pretty quickly. And since I can't use Space Jam due to demographic issues, this is all I got at this point in time. What are you gonna do?

Not too many great comps to go off for this one. Thursday previews are a tad concerning, especially the DEH comp. But then again, that film was definitely aimed towards a much younger demographic who would be more likely to go to late night showings. Again, not the greatest comp, but it's really the only one of its genre that I could pull from (In The Heights came out a month before I started doing Wednesday night outlook posts, so that's an unfortunate lost comp that could've been useful here).

 

Still, the Friday numbers look promising enough. Man do I wish had time to drive an hour to go see this in IMAX.
