The Box Office Buzz and Tracking Thread: Electric Boogaloo

Recommended Posts

2nd local has already added 3 late showings for JL tonight to bring its showings to 17 for today (from 14) - that's a good JL sign even if presales sucked last night:)...(Thor lost last 2 showings and Bad Moms lost the other)...

 

Edit: They have also added 4 for Saturday...guess they are making up for waiting so long to add extra shows for Thursday...(and they dropped Thor to only 7 showings that day - big drop from their weekly planned set up)...

I think JL will play much like a Family film.

115x2.7=310mil.

Only time will tell if it can pull a Wonder Woman or a SS.In between the two will land the film above a 3x.

Reluctant to even mention by JL doing very well since mid-day here.  A RealD was 70% full just now... tomorrow's early shows look good.  Guess we'll see since my theater's performance didn't apply more broadly yesterday

Agree - it's like my local did the same for Thor and cleared the deck tonight giving JL 7 showings from 9:30pm-11:30pm (and 20 showings overall), so obviously my area isn't a problem in selling this movie:)...

 

And can I mention The Star has sold more tickets to 10pm showings than 10am showings today?

Since you mentioned it I checked the 940pm here and was shocked to see 58/~230 filled for the Star.  Expected empty to 10 at most at that time... interesting.

Haha all good.  I don't even know how all that works.  Saturdays especially have been outperforming lately so hopefully that continues tomorrow for all the openers.

Coco

North Shore Cinema (11 days before previews, 12 before release)

Mequon, WI

 

7:00 - 4/98

10:00 - 0/98

 

Running at 16.6% of DM3 and 26.6% of The Star. However Coco presales have just started a few days ago so no worries.

Lol.  Was DW having a  laugh at the dceu superfans/trolls the whole time with the whole 'roughly matching BvS' updates?

I may be wrong but I think DW only provides raw numbers and grim22 does the comparisions and stuff (since he cant provide the raw numbers)

Tele gave the last deep wang update in which jl presales were 2/3 of bvs. From same as bvs to 65% of bvs, what happened? 

Hmm, BvS had a surge as release got closer and JL didnt would be my guess.

Usually, the final week especially from Monday thru Thursday before release sees a huge uptick in pre-sales. It seems like that did not happen for JL.

Let us be honest, it is the hardcore fans who buy tickets two weeks in advance. I think the casual fans abandoned the movie and the rotten tomatoes stunt didn't help either. When your movie doesn't have a score on RT 24 hours before release then its RT score may as well be 0%. That's why there was no big surge in the Monday-Thursday period.

Online pre-sales are a greater % of tickets sold now than they were when BvS came out.   Every year they grow by a significant %.

 

It's why Fandango comps to movies from 2 years ago are kind of meaningless unless they say they're performing under.

 

When Fandango compared the pre-sales to WW this year, saying pacing above, they were on point.  The movie they chose for comparison was the right one.  They didn't compare it to SMHC and Thor 3 because it wasn't doing as well - and not because some has hoped because WW was the zeitgeist pick.

 

Looking at Fandango Pulse it was pacing along WW and lagging behind SM:HC and Thor 3 by more than 20%. 

 

With that I still thought it would do $100-110m just because I couldn't see the brand falling that hard...
