TFA dropping on tuesdays is simply because the demand for it was so huge that there was no benefit of having it play for less cost on a Tuesday. If 4 million people a day are going to see it, regardless of the day, if you charge less for tifckets on one of those days, then the dollar gross is going to be lower. That is not the case for TLJ.

WrathOfHan Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Just now, Christmas baumer said: I'm not worried,but can you explain this number? A lot of schools are still in session, and the last two SW movies decreased on their first Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheap Tuesdays are far bigger now than they were when TFA was released thouygh. Even from last year there has been an increase to your average Tuesday bump.

grey ghost Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Pretty much stayed flat on Tuesday like TFA and RO. I'm not seeing a problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FantasticBeasts Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 The average first tuesday's bump for the top 5 2017 openers (except TLJ) is 29.2%. The average first tuesday bump for last year's top 5 openers is 2.3%. Just for the sake of comparison with RO. I guess going back to 2015 there will be no increase at all. So all in all, this doesn't feel good to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bladels Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 This forum never change, freaking out about first week's weekdays. They've never been good indicator of movie's WOM. I would wait until Friday to start worrying. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avatree Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 I don't think WOM is great. Lot of people I know who have seen it didn't think it was good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This might be the case on a smaller level. You do have to have more tickets sold to overcome the difference in price admission. The evening shows are pretty much booked at full capacity whether it’s Monday or Thursday, so the extra tickets have to come from an earlier time in the day OR the theater has to book more showings.Theyll be less likely to do that during the week I feel. It should have been closer to Rogue One vs TFA I would say % wise, but as long as it’s not something like -10%, it gets a pass for now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyGossamer Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 About what I expected. Didn't someone mention AMC theater chains aren't doing discount Tuesdays as of this week? If that's true, that would account for it. Regardless, seems about right to me. Far too early to put this on WOM. Though, I will say that the WOM for this one seems much more on par or less below that of Rogue One. And, well, Rogue One had pretty fine legs and did especially well in its second week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastwood47 Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 I think the only area that makes the flat business on Tuesday appear note worthy is the Monday drop matched the series low of 58%. TFA only dropped 33.8% while Rogue One dropped 53.3%. While Rogue One was closer on the Monday drop, that translated to a near even performance for Tuesday only dropping 0.1%. So there are some distinctions for TLJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoSaysI Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 See unlike yesterday which was a perfectly fine number based on all other drops both this year and historically, this is not a good number. Today's number will be very interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyGossamer Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Expect a 15% to 20% drop today unless a large segment of kids are starting their breaks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezen Baklattan Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 I wouldn’t be worried, cheap Tuesday or not, giga blockbusters have always struggled to increase much on Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieMan89 Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Telling you guys, WOM on this thing is far from universal praise among the ga like with TFA. Sticking with my 3.1-3.15x. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGlass2 Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 It is still a ton of money so hard to say it is even disappointing, and it is just one day. For the Star Wars new "universe", the real test will be Solo: A Star Wars Story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So there are some distinctions for TLJ. That isn't really something out of the ordinary though, it's just how the schedule works. Last year, movies mostly dropped in the high 40s, with some in the low 50s, lining right up with what happened in 2011, when the schedule was the same. The year before, movies dropped mostly in the 30% range, with some in the 20s and a few in the low 40s, just like in 2009, when the schedule was the same. This year, movies behaved just like they did in 2006. The top 7 of this year dropped 58, 71, 66, 44, 62, 46 and 61%, back then they dropped 59, 69, 58, 50, 64, 65 and 58%. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
