People blaming people binging on STRANGER THINGS for this weekend's BO make me laugh. They're really overestimating the size of that audience.

The Snowman - up 0.03 million from estimates.  That is probably good enough to raise the average derby score by 1%.

Again Sunday matinees make the # of tickets sold to be about equal to the Friday #.

The Mountain Between Us not likely to have a # of tickets sold on Sunday equal to Friday.  (Even when accounting for matinees)

Netflix doesn't release viewing numbers but if you look at 3rd parties who've given analytics based off their methods, if those numbers are close to the truth....then it's not big enough of an audience to curb JIGSAW's OW.

 

Now the World Series which had 2 prime time games over the weekend which have audiences that dwarf ST's audience binging this weekend? Yeah I think they had impact on the weekend.

What is ST audience ?

 

Within its first 35 days on the streaming service, the supernatural drama averaged 14.07 million adults 18-49. Only Season 1 of “Fuller House” and Season 4 of “Orange is the New Black” drew larger demo audiences in their first 35 days.

 

Walking death last season debut was 17.5m people between 18-49 + not counted piracy numbers that will be higher than for a netflix show. there is also the all the episode in one weekend that would affect box office much more than a regular show.

 

It probably picked up more people over time and S2 could have been bigger than this first weekends, but there is no indication that ST is specially big over any other big tv show success. One big difference is that the type of people that watch it, is the type of person talking about shows on the Internet versus others shows, a little bit like the joke everyone that watched the HBO show Girls had a blog.

I wouldn't necessarily say that Stranger Things or the World Series put much of a dent in Jigsaw's potential. It was so clear at every stage in the film's existence that they were gunning for the fans that stuck with the Saw franchise all the way through rather than expanding the fan base. If big fans of the franchise wanted to see it, a TV show or ball game wasn't going to stop them, and I don't think it would have picked up much business from more casual viewers even in a wide-open weekend without any other major entertainment distractions.

That is sure for a tv show, but a world series ball game party would not stop them to just watch a movie ? (something they can do anytime).

 

I doubt any sport fan would ever consider missing a series game for a movie.

[Webslinger]

The game isn't an all-day affair, though. There's still plenty of time to go catch a movie if you're so inclined.

[Krissykins]

Stranger Things 2 is a bigger deal than most movies released this year. 

 

Plus it was great.

But that is really easy to beat, the vast majority of the 605 movies released this year were not a deal in any way, it is rare for a movie to achieve to reach 1% of the population (around 30m at the box office), not even 50% of the wide release achieve that and most movie do not achieve to reach 600 theater.

 

That is also true for a lot of tv shows or most live sports event.

Only the Brave did not have that strong of a Sunday...
