The Box Office Buzz and Tracking Thread: Electric Boogaloo

[Barnack]

True that is not going that well for Paramount.

 

Filmed entertainment division of Viacom (Paramount)  2015 (year ending September 30): 110 million profit

Filmed entertainment division of Viacom (Paramount)  2016 (year ending September 30): 445 million loss

 

Has a comparison, Sony still did a 243 million in profit from their Filmed entertainment in the march 2016 to march 2017 fiscal year (would it not be for the giant 962 million goodwill lost), and bigger profit than that the 2 year's before

 

And they started the year like this, only xXx being an success and Baywatch will not loose money, but GITS and Monster Trucks...

 

Rank	Movie Title (click to view)	Studio	Total Gross / Theaters		Opening / Theaters		Open	Close
1	Baywatch	Par.	$55,158,487	3,647	$18,503,871	3,647	5/25	-
2	xXx: The Return of Xander Cage	Par.	$44,898,413	3,651	$20,130,142	3,651	1/20	3/16
3	Ghost in the Shell (2017)	Par.	$40,563,557	3,440	$18,676,033	3,440	3/31	5/25
4	Monster Trucks	Par.	$33,370,166	3,119	$10,950,705	3,119	1/13	3/16
5	Rings	Par.	$27,793,018	2,931	$13,002,632	2,931	2/3	3/23

 

 

At least the rest of the year should go well enough with Transformer, Cloverfield and Daddy Home being 3 good safe franchise for them.

 

Next year as T6, MI 6 and a Paramount event movie, really testing how much juice is left in their franchise.

Why?

Because I don't like watching studios floping like that and taking desperate moves like releasing a Transformers movie every year or doing 2 reboots of the same franchise within a single decade. If they are doing it, it is because the situation is getting precarious. Someone who hopes that their last desperate moves goes wrong is extreme malice with the workers of these studios and I'm not fine with that.

They just had one of their best year ever in term of profit. Home video didn't do to good because of 2015 weaker year and 2015 video games were at a record level, but theatrical was really good.

 

Operating income for Warner brother:

 

2014: 1159 million

2015: 1416 million

2016: 1734 million

 

Studio do not show profit breakdown between tv production and movies too, just revenue by division and total cost for both division.

The Last Knight (6 hours and 47 minutes from showtime):

 

8:00 - 81/105 

9:45 - 158/301

11:15 - 3/105

 

242/511 - 47.3% sold for Tuesday

 

Pretty solid jump for today. Thinking $5M-$7M for previews. Discount Tuesday will help it massively.

The Last Knight is gaining some surprisingsly massive traction here at North Shore Cinema. The Ultrascreen 9:45 showing is 83% full. The 8:00 showing only has 2 seats left now. The 11:15 showing is gaining traction. They added 3 showings for tomorrow. An extra one for 3D and 2 more for regular 2D.

 

(3 hours away)

 

8:00 - 103/105

9:45 - 249/301 - USCR

11:15 - 19/105

 

371/511 - 73% of tickets sold for Tuesday.

 

Thinking $6M-$8M previews now.

Transformers is selling well around Orlando.

[Kalderic]

It's doing relatively well here as well. Even the 10PM show in the IMAX is at about 25%, which is surprising given the lateness of the show.

[YM!]

Deciding to use 4 Marcus Cinemas here for analysis, but North Shore Cinema will be my main one. The four including NSC are Menominee Falls Cinema, Majestic, and South Shore.

 

Transformers is looking strong at all four. And on the pre sales spectrum, Spider-Man Homecoming is looking solid, Majestic is it's best seller.

 

[Nova]

So I was reading about Transformers presales and what not...and thought I'd check to see how it's doing in my area and all of the showings for tonight are pretty much 90% full or sold out. I have no idea if this franchise is front loaded or not but the way it's selling seems really good to me. 

 

I also checked to see how it was doing on Friday and Saturday night and the showings are about 25% full on average.

 

Unless WOM is really awful, I don't think this movie is going to be a flop domestically.

Transformers is selling weak throughout the day right now at my theater. The first 2D showing has sold 37 seats and the 6:30 has sold 22 seats, but 5 showings haven't even sold any tickets and the other 4 have a combined total of 15 seats. By comparison, Cars has sold a total of 40 seats and WW has sold 18 seats.

Any final update on TF5 PS. Did it do better than Alien or not?

[alisson23]

I'm expecting $7.5m at previews for TF5. I hope it goes higher.
