What is weird is that Roma is almost invisible on Fandango.

Because most of the theaters it is playing in are not ticketed through Fandango

Yeah, it’s opening at the local iPic tomorrow (and is doing poorly - most people are likely gonna just watch it on Netflix like I will).

[TwoMisfits]

In Mortal Engines favor, its weak Fandango presales seem to be at least 30% high-priced premium screens (2D Imax, 3D, 3D Imax)...should mean its average ticket price is at least a high one for its limited audience:)...

If Roma is playing near you and you choose to watch it on Netflix instead of in theaters, then...hmmmm

What if I opt to see THE MULE instead? 🤔

First Spider-Verse shows in Tallahassee:

 

Dolby: 42/236

2D: 16/104

IMAX: 8/372

 

These sales are... interesting. The 3D show in half an hour has already sold more tickets than the 2D show starting now. The two main 2D shows tonight have only sold a combined 22 tickets, but the next Dolby show is packed. Today was the last day of finals for most students, so we'll see how walkups are.

Mortal Engines	40	1366	2.93%
Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse	251	3180	7.89%
The Mule	46	852	5.40%

 

 

Mortal Engines Comps:

22% of Maze Runner (5.4M)

36% of Tomb Raider (8.4M)

46% of Pacific Rim Uprising (13.1M)

18% of Ready Player One (7.7M)

67% of Skyscraper (16.6M)

 

LOL hopefully it'll at least pass PRU's comp

 

Spider-Verse Comps:

28% of Thor: Ragnarok (34.8M)

72% of Coco (36.8M)

199% of Ferdinand (26.7M)

129% of Jumanji (46.8M)

10% of Incredibles 2 (18.5M)

39% of Ant-Man and the Wasp (29.5M)

68% of Hotel Transylvania 3 (30M)

37% of Venom (29.6M)

57% of The Grinch (38.8M)

69% of Ralph (38.6M)

 

Admittedly, I feel like the movie should have done a bit better than what current presales suggest, considering my area, but a lot of these comps are around the 30M range, which is what tracking suggests, so let's just go with this.

 

Mule Comps:

184% of Mountain Between Us (19.4M)

57% of The Commuter (7.9M)

148% of 12 Strong (23.5M)

96% of 15:17 to Paris (12M)

78% of Death Wish (10.1M)

107% of Mile 22 (14.7M)

90% of First Man (14.4M)

 

Seems pretty good to hit the mid to high teens at least.

How does spider verse compare with Black Panther? I know the ow for that was huge but I feel like it’s a good enough comp having seen the film

How is Black Panther a good comp? It didn't even release during the fall and it isn't animated either. If we were going with February movies, The Lego Batman would be a better comp because it is animated and also a superhero movie. Let me guess, you think BP is good comp because both have a black character as the main character?

[WrathOfHan]

5:00 Dolby: 42/236

5:00: 16/104

5:00 IMAX: 8/372

5:30 3D: 17/77

Running Total: 83/789

 

lol oops I expected it to sell another ticket in the past half hour. A sign to come for later? Next update will come when Mortal Engines starts and Spider-Verse has another show.

Deadpool did $581 per theater average on Wednesday, that good or bad?

Black Panther nears 5000 tickets sold. Spider-Verse is...not anywhere near that.

Of course it’s  nowhere near... I meant percentage wise 😂 

 

near 5000 gives spiderverse around $10m... perhaps people are right it’s a shit comp 😕😞

[TwoMisfits]

So, on Spidey, any word on what they are doing with the box office from the sneaks?  Dumping it into the weekend or keeping it separate?  Many movies have started separating it, but I wasn't sure Spidey was...

7:00 Mortal Engines: 30/107

 

This won't surpass Overlord's preview total (which was 80-ish? I'll have full comps later). The IMAX show in an hour is looking quiet, and forget about the late shows. I'm kind of wondering if this could do something pitiful like 7M.
