Winchester is getting late sales (at least from Atom theaters) - I didn't post presales from my 2 locals b/c they were zero this morning, but here's where they are now...

 

Regal (Atom theater - 1 show only) - 21/90

Cinemark (non-Atom theater - 2 shows) - 8/60, 0/60 for 8/120

That seems low

It is (for now - we'll see if it picks up anymore)...but it's better than the zero from this morning (that would mean absolute train wreck numbers:)...

*takes a peek at how well Winchester is doing 20 minutes before showtime*

 

 

These walkups better be good  

[WrathOfHan]

Winchester: 7/67

 

Comps:

 

5% of It (6.2M)

20% of HDD (5.2M)

20% of Insidious (5.9M)

20% of Jigsaw (3.3M)

~30% of mother! (2.3M) (I don't have full numbers for that night but my show was in the low-20s)

 

YIKES. FWIW, these low sales aren't just happening at my theater; a fair amount of shows around Orlando are barely crossing 10 seats. @CJohn it's been a while since Lionsgate has had a megabomb, but it's gonna happen this weekend  

[MovieMan89]

Yeah, like I saw someone here mention, I have no idea who they thought a movie like Winchester would be for? The bigger question is what *ahem* possessed Mirren to do it?

That's a GIGANTIC Coco expansion  Good for Molly's Game too; PP3's expansion is cancelling out a lot of drops.

Wow, my theater lucked out with Phantom Thread because it isn't gaining many more theaters

Vin Diesel probably encouraged her to do it so it could connect to The Last Witch Hunter

To be fair, it likely dropped all of the theaters that had cut it down to one show a day last week after how low the grosses were when it went wide two weeks ago. It's keeping the places where it was selling or saw an increase last week (like mine, which sold out its afternoon show every day this week in a 50-seat shared auditorium with Lady Bird).

Wow, then it'll probably make its money back this weekend. XD

[filmlover]

Game Night is projected to open between $15-20M while Annihilation is projected for $12-15M.

I Tonya, Maze Runner, Jumanji, Shape of Water, 12 Strong, and Coco have sold nothing.

 

Christ, the theater is going to be DEAD tomorrow. Winchester comps:

 

7% of It (8.6M)

30% of HDD (7.8M)

35% of Insidious (10.4M)

35% of Jigsaw (5.7M)

100% of Flatliners (6.6M)

 

The big thing to note here is the main night show is all one group; there's only one other stray ticket for the entire day  

[TalismanRing]

Fandango sales are pretty solid for Winchester averaging 10-11 per minute over 7pm- 7:40pm. 

 

But comparisons for other Horror movies are all over the map.

I found one by Jeremy Jahns on youtube and there was one from The Guardian that was taken down because it broke the embargo ( but I managed to see some parts and yeah, they didn't like it )

Black Panther pre-sales now DOUBLE Spider-Man Homecoming at my theatre. Granted, there were quite a few group buy's the past couple days which probably accounted for a lot of it but a really encouraging sign
