Didn’t realize California dominated Pulse so much, very interesting. 

[Hiccup23]

Wow Wisconsin is higher than I thought....but it is prime movie time here.

That what the total sales for all movies all dates broke down during that time frame, that time frame including a imagine more of tuesday prime time for the west coast, if I can achieve to have no crash for a week or so of consecutive data, it will be more accurate but it seem at first glance true that RPO play roughly equal everywhere (that said the type of people that would buy ticket via fandango is maybe a bigger cultural element than where they are from):

New York's numbers seem low but why are you experiencing data crashes ? Is it a problem with Fandango's servers ?

My gathering is currently very roughly made by a little PhantomJS (a little command line Internet browser running some perpetual Javascript loop) that is writing every 3 minutes the content of a variable containing the 1000 last sales on the Fandango website after having reloaded it, it is not really robust, there is no check yet to restart it in case of any type of the smallest issue.

 

The browser crashed with a Windows Error 0x000005 of some sort, I do not think it has to do with the Server, it should be easy to make everything way more robust but it would require to have something running into the cloud or a dedicated machine to not have a lot of data lost.

I am a rookie at Boxoffice predictions...

 

Any educated guesses on how much RPO does this 3-day weekend?

 

Thanks in advance if any insight is shared.

 

Is 40million possible for Fri - Sunday?

Last 19 hours Fandango sales for Wednesday showing (If RPO follow Uprising it will have a much lower box office by ticket pre-sold) than the rest, first shows of anticipated movie will be more pre-sales heavy), not sure how to interpret those number yet but does not look good for PR legs at all, I do not see why it would be a particularly walk up heavy movie and has not been until now, could be already lower than BP next weekend, last saturday/sunday were 17.7 for PR versus 12.6 for BP a 52% drop for PR vs 35% for BP would put them really close.

If RPO follow Uprising it will have a much lower box office by ticket than the rest, first shows of anticipated movie will be more pre-sales heav

I guess it will be up to Rampage to save the boxoffice.

I mean by pre-sales last time in is very first days PR was making less than the other big movies by Fandango pre-sales tracked, in the sense that it will not necessarily do a friday 6x of Black panthers.

 

I do not know yet if it's number are good for a wednesday scenario (that will be the first comparable)

Huge population but I think it probably also has the most reserved seating theaters which I think leads to more pre-sales

 

NYC has picked up lately on RS but just on Fandango more than half of it's showings still don't have it

California has approximately 12% of the nation's population.  Factor in three major city cores (LA-Anaheim, San Diego, Bay Area) plus few more decent city areas, and that percentage could skew even higher as folks in more rural areas of the country might be underrepresented by movie theaters within driving distance.

Yeah, and a lot of school districts are on spring break. LAUSD is on spring break this week I believe. This is the second largest public school district in the US. New York is the only district higher. I go to UCLA and were on spring break(as well as the whole UC system)

[Porthos]

BTW, New York state has 6.1% of the US's population so 4% of Fandango sales on one sample seems to be well within variance to me.
