Well, at least BOP's Blockers prediction doesn't seem insane  I still think it'll hit 20M.

A Quiet Place should beat Get Out's OW if social media trends are anything to go by.

A Quiet Place will do $50M OW.  Book it.

2nd local (Regal) is up, and in a surprise to me, they are NOW booking ICOI and skipping on PAUL (even though that means neither local gets that movie...which is weird b/c mostly only Regals (and a few AMCs) in my wider area have it, but I guess not this one)...so, if you need evidence of ICOI WOM explosion (or bad theater decision making by delaying and then booking after-the-fact:), this weekend will probably provide it at this theater...also, this theater, like the other local, booked the big 2 and stayed away from the rest of the openers - look for not huge theater numbers for any of the "others"...anyway, here's the rest...

 

NEW

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

Sherlock Gnomes (1 - 5 showings - above average)

ICOI (1 - 5 showings - above average)

 

RETURNING

Black Panther (2 - lost a screen)

Love Simon (1)

Tomb Raider (1.5)

AWIT (1 - lost a screen)

Red Sparrow (1)

Game Night (1)

The Strangers Prey At Night (.25 - 1 showing)

Peter Rabbit (.75 - Strangers gets the last show)

GONE

Gringo, Death Wish

 

PS - There is a 1/2 screen of showings still available - I'm betting they will be "last minute" adds as the weekend plays for one or more of the openers, since it would be hard to find showings from the current set to "steal" last minute since Spring Break starts here this weekend... 

2nd local (Regal) is up...and it showed that opening a movie the 2nd weekend after everyone else already had it, isn't always the best plan!  ICOI is dropped to 2 showings, while God's Not Dead 3 also opens here, so this movie seems like it should be the widest opener of the 3 religious movies (don't know if it deserved it, but the studio obviously knew how to get this booked).  Also, there are like 3 unaccounted for 7pms and one 4pm (not counting what could happen late night) - I THINK they are watching to see if Acrimony or RPO needs them - Acrimony is 1/2 sold out for its small 7pm already, so I can see one flowing here...and RPO is the type of movie that could (and better) break big here.  Here's the full set...

 

NEW

Ready Player One (2.2 - 6 2d / 4 3d - 3 7pm hour shows, stealing PCU's 7pm - biggest/above average)

God's Not Dead 3 (1 - 5 showings - above average)

Acrimony (1 - 5 showings - smallest)

 

RETURNING

Pacific Rim Uprising (.8 - lost 7pm to RPO already - damn!)

Sherlock Gnomes (1)

Love Simon (1)

AWiT (1)

Red Sparrow (.2 - 10pm show only)

ICOI (.5 - 2 morning showings only)

Tomb Raider (.8 - lost 7pm)

Black Panther (1.5 - 1 full + 2 morning showings)

 

GONE (a bloodbath)

Game Night, Strangers, Peter Rabbit...

Kingsman and Blade Runner both finished with 80 tickets, and just last week Pacific Rim sold about 110 or 120.

How long from now is it finished? No idea about your time-zones. Just wondering when I should keep a close eye on this thread for your update!

How is possible that on 5 min on pulse RP1 sell 108 tickets

and BP sell just 23 tickets,  then on movietickets BP is on better % that RP1.

 

And this trend has been consistent from yesterday..

Maybe FANDANGO sell mostly more than MOVIETICKES

MT percentage for a specific movie indicates the percentage of tickets it has sold over the last 24 hours among all ticket sales.

And this trend has been consistent from yesterday.

BP probably sold a substantial amount of tickets (BP>>RP1) when you were not counting. So BP is ahead in overall sales.

RPO: 29%

Avengers: 9.4%

PRU: 9.3%

BP: 9%

Acrimony: 6.8%
