The Commuter looks great and I will see it on opening night.  I love shitty Liam Neeson action thrillers.

December 26 is historically a bigger box office day than the 25th. For instance, Rogue One increased 20% from Christmas sunday last year.

That was because Sunday is a less popular day to go to the movies. It increased from Christmas Sunday.

If Tuesday wasn't Discount Tuesday, I might agree.  But it is.  If tickets are about 33 to 50% less, then one needs a corresponding increase in overall ticket purchases to compensate for the decrease in price per ticket.

 

Take locally.  Looking at around $6.5 or so for tickets.  That's instead of $12.75 or so.  If TLJ is already selling a metric ass load of tickets today, it'll be tough enough to stay flat, never mind increase.

It's the last of the January 12 releases I'll see. In a busier month, I might've missed it  

 

Spoiler

Now watch the reviews be positive

I plan on seeing The Commuter as well. It will be glorious.

[CJohn]

I am reaching the Invasion cross-over on The Flash which means it is time to stop and start CBS's Supergirl.

 

Btw, whoever thinks slow motion during CGI scenes on The Flash is a good idea should be fired, because the CGI is PS3 level graphics. It is hideous.

I mean, look at this shit:

 

 

THEN after snipping this I get a banner ad:

LIVES ARE ON THE LINE DAMMIT.

 

I actually think this might perform well. It is a high-concept Neeson action vehicle and there hasn't been one in a while.

[EmpireCity]

Again, there are a lot of theaters not doing Discount Tuesday this week.  Same thing with next week.

8/24 is my current prediction. If reviews are good, I'll go higher, but The Post is opening on the same day.

[Jonwo]

The Commuter will probably will do Run All Night numbers. With The Post and Paddington 2, I imagine it'll be third or fourth at the box office that weekend. 

 

The Post had a solid PTA for the four days. I wouldn't be surprised if tops the charts when it goes wide which would make it Spielberg's first film to go to the top since Indiana Jones.

Solid OD/OW prediction. I am in the same range as well.

Wow Lionsgate just threw Wonder completely under the bus. Wow at that theatre drop. 

 

Ferdinand is a huge disaster at $111m. 

 

 

[WrathOfHan]

Wonder has already made a huge profit already for Lionsgate just from the domestic release.

[WilliamK99]

Is it safe to say there is no way JL makes it to 230 million domestic? I don’t see it making 7 million more before it leaves theatres....

I am not a fan of Lionsgate, but they didn't throw Wonder under the bus.  They had no ground to stand on to make theaters hold their 6 week old movie when there are like 9 movies releasing or expanding.
