Wow, Jumani is obviously gonna overtake TLJ soon. That's impressive!!!

[TwoMisfits]

Midday MT.com - under 3 for the gap...

27.3% Star Wars: The Last Jedi

24.6% Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle

8.6% Greatest Showman, The

7.9% Pitch Perfect 3

5.3% Ferdinand

MT.com now - posting b/c it's under 2 now...I think Jumanji passes TLJ today...it could even win the 3 day, not just the 4 day, if it continues its push all day...but to do that, I think it's gotta finish the night #1 on MT.com, since it's got a Friday gap to make up...

26.5% Star Wars: The Last Jedi

24.9% Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle

8.6% Greatest Showman, The

7.6% Pitch Perfect 3

5.2% Ferdinand

Final MT.com for the night - the gap stabilized at almost 2.5, so I'm thinking TLJ holds the 3 day due to its current lead (even if Jumanji eeks out the day, which I'm 50-50 on...probably who gets the most late night folks not doing NYE parties, which is after these MT numbers close:)...

26.8% Star Wars: The Last Jedi

24.4% Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle

8.8% Greatest Showman, The

Morning MT.com numbers - seems TLJ had the slightly better late night and overnight sales:)...it's probably gonna keep the lead again for awhile, since it didn't quite get passed this weekend...but we'll see how it goes:)...

25% Star Wars: The Last Jedi

10.2% Greatest Showman, The

7.5% Pitch Perfect 3

Midday MT.com - gap is widening...even though it's a family movie, those "schools that are still off" may help keep Jumanji in front all week...

23.3% Star Wars: The Last Jedi

10.5% Greatest Showman, The

7.7% Pitch Perfect 3

5.8% Ferdinand

 

EDIT: And of course it updates right after I post...and it's an even bigger gap...

Might as well do my theater presales update again, especially considering there are way less movies to worry about.

 

Insidious	3	226	1.33%
Fifty Shades	117	1921	6.09%

 

Insidious only has Thursday previews up so far. Fifty Shades is frontloaded, as expected, with Thursday and Saturday making up 80% of the tickets sold, while Friday and Sunday have sold very little.

[MCKillswitch123]

I can't wait for presales updates for the new Cloverfield movie, when Paramount officially announces it a week before release.

 

You thought they topped out at 2 months in advance w/10 Cloverfield Lane, you haven't seen nothin' yet

And it begins. I'm thrilled for Jumanji but as a huge Star Wars fan this is unexpected and sad to see.

[TwoMisfits]

MT.com...I don't think any families in the "still off" areas that buy on MT.com are picking TLJ over Jumanji at this point...posting b/c the speed of change is going so fast, although since the market is probably WAAYYY down, this won't convert to as much in dollars as it would have last week:)...although maybe we should start a new watch for when TLJ falls behind TGS, b/c that gap is only about 10 now:)...

It's worth pointing out that all other movies are either staying flat (Ferdinand) or increasing (The Greatest Showman, Pitch Perfect 3), so this isn't just Jumanji increasing relative to everything else, it's also TLJ decreasing.

MT.com - what a difference a day continues to make...
