The Box Office Buzz and Tracking Thread: Electric Boogaloo

[Ash Skywalker]

With those reviews and as it's an animated Spider-man film with such stunning acclaim, $50M is definitely in play. 
I see it doing $50M OW, $200M Total.
MP - $400M
AQM- $320M
SM:SV- $200M
BUMBLEBE-$145M

Sony’s Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, which is already an awards contender out of the gate with a Golden Globe animated film nomination and NY Film Critics Circle win for Best Animated Film, held paid sneaks last night at 7PM and again today at 2PM. Projection metrics show around a $35M No. 1 opening next weekend.

[Valonqar]

LOL, Deadline still sticking with 35M OW. It's like when Disney was downplaying GOTG tracking and expected only 65M even though it was obvious to everyone it would do at least 80M. Spiderverse ain't opening under 50M. 

[DMan7]

that spiderverse prediction is too small it can make twice that at least

My friend just asked me if he wanted to see The Mule on Friday.  This is it.  The hype has finally began to kick in.  Everyone is ready for The Mule.

[Valonqar]

The Mule over Pikachu/Endgame and TLK combined.

So I have a Deep Wang-esque report that came my way. At one national theater chain (one of the major ones), MARY POPPINS presales are almost 70% of LAST JEDI presales (presumably at the same point in time before release).

Would that mean by far the biggest pre-sales for a non Star Wars movie ?

I actually have some old screenshots on my phone still.

 

on 11/28 last year:

 

Ferd - 8k

GS - 9k

J - 807.00

PP3 - 28k

TLJ - 16m(LOL)

MPR won't be so frontloaded, going for $700M+ domestic.

Yeah from what I remember the first 3 Disney Star Wars were completely in a different category pre-sales wise than anything else.

[narniadis]

only something that outlandish would bring @Telemachos out of hiding... I still think MPR will be huge, but also a tad front loaded...

[Barnack]

Would not surprise if it is pre-sales heavy, people can plan those holidays, pre-sales many days not just the thursday/friday/sat of the OW, etc..

Yeah, kind of what I am thinking. Without Tuesday previews, I can see the Wednesday being pretty heavy and then the rest spread out with Christmas day taking a good chunk. Its a 7-day spread.

Guess it's time for me to promote my club

 

 

[Nova]

Aren’t Star Wars movies also front loaded? So even if Mary Poppins ends up being frontloaded, the front loadedness of Star Wars movies negates that. Plus I highly highly doubt that Mary Poppins will be as front loaded as Star Wars films......

 

Plus if you look at Fandango sales, Mary Poppins has been selling really really well too

That reporter must have mixed something up. This is impossible. 

Looking at the Arclights, in this case the best attended, Sherman Oakes, MP is selling well, but this sold 60 tickets for the main show on wednesday and barely anything going into the weekend.

 

TLJ had sold out multiple shows and hundreds of tickets at that point.

Maybe it’s just a lot more spread out over the holiday period?
