Left number is rolling 24 hr, right is from CoolEric’s daily sales spreadsheet updates. Important note that the time is the time displayed by the rolling 24 hr, but the actual daily sales are one hour behind that — so the final daily number will come one hour after the “00:00” measurement, around the time of the rolling tracker’s “1:00.”

@Deep Wang totally got me excited when I saw you were the latest post, alas, not for the post I thought.

Interesting.  Any particular reason that you might be aware of?  Or is it just one of those things where one culture seems to prefer one thing where another doesn't?

There are many local films almost all of them are 2D so generally Hollywood movies are watched in 3D. Although it's not better but people still are fascinated by 3D I'm guessing

I don't mind at all! Makes for some interesting comparisons! Speaking of, looks like your theater is a bit more adamant about pushing 3D showtimes than mine is lmao 😂

A wee bit it seems lol. They're adamant about pushing it, I'm adamant about not seeing it that way 😎

IMAX 3D has also been non-entity as well in my theater. Alita is probably the only film in a while that hasn't relegated its IMAX 3D showtimes to around 12:00 P.M. daily while the other showtimes are all in the regular format (actually, I think all its IMAX showings were in 3D. Incredibly unusual these days).

Thus is the AMC way.  They know if you don't want to see it, you will find a 2D time.

Something strange is going on here -- the spreadsheet updates are going to be at about 37k in 3 hours, but the 24 hour rolling seems like it's pointing toward a 50k+ day. Perhaps the spreadsheet is a few more hours behind? @CoolEric258, do you see where I'm going wrong?   

Edit: Hmm, I think the number I want is in the Wednesday column but I've been mistakenly tracking the Friday one? What is that Friday column even for? Anyway, deleting those for now since I don't think I had them correct.

Not really sure what you're talking about here? My spreadsheet currently has Captain Marvel selling 41.6k tickets.

Yeah, I was accidentally looking at the Friday column for some reason     

 

What does that column actually display anyway?

This week at my hometown 20-plex:

• How To Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World - 2 screens
• Tyler Perry's A Madea Family Funeral - 2 screens
• Alita: Battle Angel
• Isn't It Romantic/A Star is Born
• The LEGO Movie: The Second Part
• Badla
• Apollo 11
• Greta

CAPTAIN MARVEL is on ALL of the other 10 screens.

 

Alita, LEGO, Greta, and Balda are all on the smallest theaters.

Unless you're talking about one of my other tabs, I don't think I have a Friday column.

 

Is this the spreadsheet you're following? https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Q-1UceCRkSh3BraIvvm0XDJyoUJsyrq8oOufQvjP7Qk/edit#gid=209330330

I was wondering too, to be honest.  It's the value in F123.

Oh that column. That's just the previous day's # at the same point in time. I use it there as a comparison to see how far the movie is on its Wednesday compared to its Tuesday

Oh, very useful. So then 41.629*37,060/30.991 is about 49.8 projected for the day, though it might accelerate past that.       

 

I think I understand all the tabs and fandango tracker widgets now, should bother you with a lot fewer questions for future movies 😛
