Wow, that would make a 90% drop possible.

[grim22]

I think JL might end up getting 4300+ theaters by next Friday

From where I'm looking, Murder is selling pretty great on EC Canada. Daddy's Home better be playin super strong to families this weekend or else, as it's Thursday shows look terrible.

 

From where I'm looking, I would expect Murder's Thursday number to be 1.8-2M, DH around 800k

I agree with this based on what I'm seeing at my theater.

Of course, you and I both know that our state is pretty much the target demo for Express, though I would be pretty happy if this was consistent across the country

Oh definitely. It was already selling pretty fast for Friday yesterday and Tuesday, so I'm really curious to see where it is when I do my Friday update in about an hour.

Daddy's Home 2 is currently at 0% with 16 reviews

Huge leap for Daddy's Home 2. It's first showing begins in 30 minutes. I'll probably do an update right after the 5pm showing just because the 6:30pm and 7:00pm showings are more significant. 

 

MOE sold 32 tickets and I am hoping can pick up steam (no pun intended). It still has 2.5 hours before its first showing.

 

Expect a final updated around 7pm Central time. 

 

 

Daddy's Home 2	96	580	16.6%
Murder on the Orient Express	115	312	36.9%

Daddy's Home 2	153	580	26.4%
Murder on the Orient Express	130	312	41.7%

 

Daddy's Home 2 is having very strong walk ups. Murder on the Orient Express has had a solid night. Wish it would have been given more showtimes through.

BOM upped Wonder's TC from 2,500 to 3k+ for next week.

I'll wait to see the reception before zeroing in on my predictions.

Wonder could potentially outgross The Star on OW, not that either is going to do huge business,

Still gonna watch it

It's pretty much locked to beat The Star. Presales were on par with Orient Express's total the other day.

[Mojoguy]

For Daddy's Home 2, they should have waited until Friday to lift the review embargo!

Looks awful!

I agree. Presales here look solid as well.

[WrathOfHan]

Final totals for tonight:

 

5:00 DH: 6/78

6:30 DH: 12/63

7:00 OE: 56/78

7:45 DH: 9/78

8:15 OE: 14/78

OE: 70/156

DH: 27/219

 

Orient Express sold 88% of Kingsman and Blade Runner. This is a very good start and the 5th best previews of September-November behind those two, Thor, and It. 

Daddy's Home did 70% of American Made, 85% of HDD, and 120% of Madea. In comparison to another Paramount movie, it's barely ahead of what mother! did. I'll get a better understanding with Friday numbers.

[YM!]

Any updates on Coco presales at other theaters or a Wang update? Presales at my theater look kind of lackluster but it’s been 3 days since tickets went on sale.
