Shape gains 451 theaters, Billboards 246

3 billboards is hitting digital release on 13 Feb and home media release two weeks after......

 

RIP, cinematic experience......

[DAJK]

What the FUCK is fox smoking. Releasing this AND showman on digital so soon... They're shooting themselves in the foot when each movie still has 20M or more left in the tank domestically alone

[filmlover]

Three Billboards has about $10M in the tank left at best so it makes sense to start moving towards its home release. The Shape of Water is clearly going to be the film that sees the biggest bump from the Oscar noms.

[WrathOfHan]

I didn't realize Darkest Hour was hitting Blu-Ray at the end of the month  Legs will be gone soon.

It's pretty weird to think I'll be seeing SOW and Phantom Thread within the next week and can buy them in 6-8 weeks

And the one you won't be seeing is the best (IMO of course) of them all.

First post so forgive my ignorance, but what is the difference between these tracking sites? Is this for U.S?

They are two different ticket sellers in the U.S.

 

The first is MovieTickets.com which gives a percentage of tickets sold over a rolling 24 hour period for the top 5 movies.

 

Pulse is on Fandango which shows tickets sold minute by minute (usually 15 minutes behind live)

[Valonqar]

That's huge for BP 2 weeks before the release. My fam contributed with lots of ticket purchases so no surprise.

One thing to know is that some movies do better on one site (like foreign films on Movietickets.com) and some do better on the other (like teen-skewing films on Fandango)...and we do not have data coming from the 3rd (Atom)...

 

Another thing to know is what the overall presale market looks like.  In a week like this one, very little presales are happening for the opening film, so 5% on Movietickets.com for Winchester is a very small overall sales number.  So you can use that number to compare to the other films on MT.com to get an idea of what their presales were for that day on that site.  You can do the same thing on Fandango in a different way - a lot of folks actually count sales/minute for 5 minutes for a film to see what it might be preselling at that time...tends to give an idea of how it compares to other movies...

 

Another thing to know is what deals are available for certain movies in presales.  Right now, Winchester has been BOGO on Atom all week...so anyone buying these tickets (all 5 people) are probably leaning to Atom for their presale site, if possible, so presales for this movie will be even weaker on Fandango and MT.com...

Winchester

33

1408

2.34%

 

Winchester's at 56% of Happy Death Day ($14.6M) and 42% of Insidious 4 ($12.5M). Don't have anything from Jigsaw to use that as a comparison.

I’m fairly sure Jigsaw had reviews up by this point.
