Ready Player One or the Death of Stalin?

Both...

MT now with another new release:

#1 RPO 31.4%
#2 ICOI 7.1%
#3 BP 6.3%
#4 Sherlock Gnomes 6%
#5 Acrimony 5.7% - I noticed that its tickets sales on Pulse improved a lot already yesterday with around 50/5 minutes during the night respectively in the early morning (American time).

Boxofficepro seems to think so...

 

Ready Player One	Warner Bros.	$36,000,000	$47,000,000	NEW
Tyler Perry’s Acrimony	Lionsgate	$17,000,000	$17,000,000	NEW
Black Panther	Disney / Marvel	$10,400,000	$649,800,000	-39%
I Can Only Imagine	Roadside Attractions	$10,300,000	$55,500,000	-24%
Pacific Rim: Uprising	Universal	$10,100,000	$47,700,000	-64%

Does ICOI have a small shot at pulling the upset of the year and grossing 100M DOM?

[el sid]

Not an upset in my view but I was in temptation to create a club like this. But no, that`s too high IMO. 75M maybe, that would be astonishing enough.
Edit #2: Or maybe rather 80M? 90M at a max. I have no idea how faith-based films behave after Easter or if this does matter in this case...But the three films combined (ICOI + Paul + GND 3) should achieve the 100M mark.

And by the way, yesterday the estimate of the HR for A Quiet Place was posted here (16-30M). I would also say that it will open on the higher end of expectations if not surprise even more...

I've been very very VERY quietly thinking that ever since I heard reports of mass buying sprees BEFORE release. 

[WrathOfHan]

Sales for tonight at my theater right now:

Acrimony: 15/78

God's Not Dead: 7/78

 

Acrimony needs about 8 more tickets to be ahead of Boo 2! RPO is selling well given the only options are 3D.

Century Arden has added a second Infinity War Opening Night Event showing.

 

I haven't seen that before here in Sacramento.  Not even for TLJ. 

 

edit:  So has Century Blue Oaks.

I'm sure bigger metropolises have done this, and it's not like the Opening Night Fan Event is so established as to have a definitive pattern.  But this didn't happen for either TLJ or BP.  

 

Makes me wonder if this is going to be a New Normal for mega Disney openers as a possibility.

Hey, there, everyone...

I'm not here regularly, but I've seen some chatter regarding MovieTiclets.com tracking and Fandango Pulse tracking.  

A couple of months ago, I created some hourly reports that track this info for a completely different purpose. 
Maybe it will help you out as well.

What the hell is Blockers, and why something I've never heard of getting so many theaters?

No second shows added yet but there might be and no I haven't seen that before.

 

I hadn't even checked this event showing yet when counting (they show up separately) but just looked and in NYC there are so far 14 theaters doing one 6 pm showing  - 9 have reserved seats  and of those 8 are  complete sellouts or near sellouts with a handful of seats unsold (mostly wheelchair)

Thanks for this. Looking at this rpo doesn't seem to have crazy wom. At Least for w/e.

5 minutes of Pulse watching saw two tickets each for A Quiet Place and Super Troopers. Fox isn't starting previews until 8 for ST

Well that's interesting.  Now you're making me curious.  Which, admittedly, isn't that hard to do.

 

Might check out LA or SF and see if there's any doubling going on.  Or if Disney cut Cinemark a deal after incessant whining they pointed out that Disney might be leaving money on the table.

 

...

 

Not sure what the other theaters in town that have the ONFE that hasn't sold out for them think about this, but I suppose that's their problem.

Nope.  Found an AMC that has doubled up as well (along with a few more Cinemarks [under the Century brand name]) in the Bay Area.

 

So does look like something Disney is experimenting with this time along.
