All the openers except Gnomes are doing previews.

 

Also, how the hell have you not heard about Isle of Dogs? The trailer has been getting attached to everything:

 

 

Ummmm, b/c I've seen most of my movies lately on Netflix/Amazon/tv:)...and none of those have had ads for it...and apparently my social media, internet surfing, and my and my kids' tv watching hasn't gotten us a single trailer:)...

 

I blame kids and winter activities...my life gets so much freer from May-Aug and then Thanksgiving-Dec:)...(which is why I'm bitter Avengers 3 moved up its OW, b/c I'm gonna have to struggle a lot more to fit that into the last weekend than I would have the 1st weekend of May, where I literally had already set aside the time:)...

 

Although I also blame my kids not bugging me to take them to a movie so far this year...none of them wanted any of the animateds or family movies so far, which is unusual (I mean, last year they pushed me out for Lego Batman, Power Rangers, and Smurfs...this year, The Teddy Bear, the Rabbit, the Cave Man, and the Gnomes look to be 0-4:)...

 

PS - And thanks for the Thursday preview news - none of the theaters around me which have Paul are doing previews Thursday yet, so I guess I'll watch to see if they add them:)...

Other than Pacific Rim and Isle of Dogs (what the heck is this?:), any other movie doing Thursday night previews?  I'm pretty certain Gnomeo and Paul are not, but not sure about other releases...

Looks like Unsane is, as I saw a Thr night showing for it.

 

edit:  Already answered.  Didn't realize there was another page.

None of my theaters I have listed in the Sacto area have Paul attached for Thur, even though they Fr/St/Su listings, FWIW.  But maybe they'll add them later.

 

Also found some previews for Midnight Sun as well.

From here on out until about two weeks before release or so, I'll make the IW updates weekly so I don't spam the thread with incremental updates.  Unless folks want them, that is.

So, 1st local (Cinemark) is up, and it seems like they were paying attention to MT.com...after not having ICOI in any presales for the weekend, it has decided to book it last minute (the local I was posting that had this movie was a Cinemark, so they must have chatted about how well that one's presales were doing)...now, they hedged their bets and put it in one of their smallest theaters, but I didn't think it was getting it at all, so...anyway here's the rest of the set...BIG clear out week...

 

NEW

ICOI (1 - 5 showings - smallest size)

Love Simon (1 - 5 showings - smallest size)

Tomb Raider (2 - 10 showings - 2 3d/8 2d - biggest and above average size - this will either be smart, or a big mistake - stay tuned:)

Kirrak Party (1 - 4 showings - smallest size)

Raid (1 - 4 showings - smallest size)

 

Returning

AWIT (2 - 2 3d/ 8 2d)

Black Panther (2 - 10 showings - all 2d) - lost a screen

Game Night (1)

Peter Rabbit (.8)

Annihilation (.2 - single showing on PR screen)

 

Gone

Death Wish, Red Sparrow, Jumanji, 2 previous foreign films

1st local (Cinemark) is up and not fully booked - they have allocated 10.6 screens out of 12.  Usually that means they are looking at foreign films, but not always...they have not booked every new opener, so they also could be doing some very last minute bookings or saving an extra screen for whichever opener starts rocking presales...here's the current set (I'll update it when they fill in the last screens)...

 

NEW

Pacific Rim 2 (1 - 2d/3d split - 5 showings - 3 2d/ 2 3d - biggest screen)

Sherlock Gnomes (1 - 2d/3d split - 6 showings - 4 2d/2 3d - biggest screen)

MLA (.4 - last 2 showings on Peter's screen)

EDIT - Hitchki (.4 - last 2 showings on Game Night's screen)

EDIT #2 - Rajatha (1)

 

RETURNING

ICOI (1)

Love Simon (1)

Raid (1)

Tomb Raider (2 - that's crazy - I foresee this being the movie to get showings cut left and right for whatever breakout there is)

AWiT (1) (down a screen)

Black Panther (1 - down another screen this week b/c it's getting tight)

Game Night (.6 - all early showings)

Peter Rabbit (.6 - all early showings)

 

GONE

Annihilation, previous foreign films

 

EDIT - Now 1 screen open...we'll see who wins it (I'm betting another foreign film now, but we'll see:)...

 

EDIT #2 - So, even with all those new openers, another foreign film takes the last screen...not a good sign for the lesser openers, I'd think...unless the theater is saving extra screens for RPO on March 29 (since it usually dumps its foreign films in a week unless they really perform)...

Thank you for all your gracious updates! Love watching numbers  One little thing though, could you post how many tickets it's increased each day? I feel like your eyes likely to have saved this info somewhere and I read the forums mostly through email so can't easily look back at the last update.

 

thank you!!

Fully expecting a massive $250m opening if it really is performing that far ahead of Black Panther.

Its not a SW movie, over TFA? Everything is possible but I don’t think have a chance

Avengers adjusted for regular ticket price inflation not taking into account the rise of more expensive PLF screens - adjusts to $234.5m in 2018 dollars

 

http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=avengers11.htm&adjust_yr=2018&p=.htm

 

So it's possible since that's only about 6% difference

 

(TFA adjusts to over $261m)
