What should Aquadale 3-day/Poppins 5-day look like with those numbers?

I read this as Aquadale, and I was terrified that someone came up with it before me. @aabattery @That One Guy

For Aquaman comps:

Wonder Woman and Spider-Man Homecoming were both at 2.1M EOD Monday week of release (7pm Monday updates). Thor Ragnarok was 1.9M Sunday EOD and 2.6M Tuesday EOD, no Monday morning figure. Justice League was 2.15M Monday EOD. No comps from this year because we haven't had any @Deep Wang updates.

 

For Bumblebee:

The Last Knight was 500k at the same time before release.

 

No idea what would be a good comp for Poppins because BATB was at 10M a day before release.

[Valonqar]

Poppins will overtake #1 soon. 

[Deep Wang]

It is really tough to parse out holiday releases based on presales.  Especially when they aren't SW, lol.

 

Just remember this chain puts times for their movies on sale up until the end of the year.  So things will be spread around a little more than usual.  I always say this, so forgive me if I sound like a broken record.

Wonder how Aquaman previews figure into this, they have sold maybe 250k (?) tickets but unclear how that relates to DW numbers.

Those aren't included. DW had mentioned last update that he didn't include the Prime showings.

[ChipDerby]

I don't know what any of these numbers mean.

[VTKajin]

So it seems Aquaman could open to $90-100M+, if it follows traditional CBM multipliers but holiday presale comps are lacking. Maybe Hobbit would be a better comp, if the data exists.

But you've been doing this for 20 years and are so much better at it than the rest of us 🧐

[Manny G]

Aquaman has entered the daily top 5 at MovieTickets with 6.4% of daily sales.

As someone who goes to the theaters frequently, I have yet to see any trailers for Holmes and Watson and I’ve seen maybe 2 ads for it total.  I forget that it’s even coming out

[el sid]

Aquaman also already entered the Top 5 of MT (a little bit later in the day than e.g. Venom but with higher percentages):

#1 Spider-Man 18.7%
#2 The Mule 13.4%
#3 MPR 7.3%
#4 Aquaman 6.4%
#5 Ralph2 6.3%
