Final Update for this weekend, including 3-Day and 4-Day

Paddington (3-Day)	153	1737	8.81%
Paddington (4-Day)	175	2252	4.22%
Proud Mary (3-Day)	356	1437	24.77%
Proud Mary (4-Day)	372	1845	20.16%
The Commuter (3-Day)	80	1795	4.46%
The Commuter (4-Day)	84	2318	3.62%

 

 

For Paddington, its 3-Day is 215% of Ferdinand ($28.9M) and 209% of My Little Pony ($18.6M).

 

The only good comp I have for The Commuter is The Foreigner, which is about 222% of that film ($29.1M...yeah, it's not reaching that)

 

No good comps for Proud Mary unfortunately.

@WrathOfHan This post has a completely different outlook based on their theater for Paddington, FWIW.

[Eric Duncan]

If you want to know further breakdown, the tickets sold for each day for Paddington goes 5 (Thursday, only the 8:15 show had sold anything to my knowledge), 53 (Friday), 70 (Saturday), 25 (Sunday), 22 (Monday)

'Raises hand' leave me out of this 'everyone' list, thanks.

 

I readily admit to over predicting the film.  Several times, in fact.  But I also was one of the folks consistently warning not to underestimate January movies.

 

So, in the words of Caddyshack, I got that going for me.  Which is nice.

I think The Post could do 30 3-day. Shouldn't the walk ups be much better than other films due to the demographic that it attracts?

Almost certainly, I could see it doing the same. The demo for it is surely more likely to be under the radar, so to speak.

Fifty Shades	226	1921	11.50%
Black Panther	599	2176	27.53%

 

Just about everything aside from Fifty Shades saw a bounce, though Commuter continues to be dead last. Let's hope there are a lot of walkups coming its way.

Maze Runner	15	1582	0.95%
Fifty Shades	271	1921	14.11%
Black Panther	993	2176	45.63%

 

Maze Runner just got tickets sold today, but almost everything is from the Thursday 7 PM show

 

Black Panther of course saw a big increase, and Shades is still chugging along.

You know, for someone who said they liked The Last Jedi, you sure do have a funny way of showing it sometimes.

When did I say I liked it? I don't hate it. Well, not overall at least. I hate some aspects of it.

Oh, I misinterpreted some of your statements in various Numbers threads then when people were accusing you of hating TLJ. I was under the impression that you at least liked the film but still found the run of it mockworthy.

 

Never mind then.

 

Edit

 

That does clear up some of my confusion I was having about your down right glee at seeing TLJ underperform.
