titanic2187 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Instead of open up new thread for each day from Monday to Thursday, I suggest we should just consolidate them into a weekdays thread every weeks like how we did for weekend thread... Some of the daily thread were just 3 or 4 pages, I can see there is not much demand for daily thread.... Let's start with Monday: Chart Index Movie Distributor Gross Change Thtrs. Per Thtr. Total Gross Days - (-) Lady Bird A24 $131,745 -50% 1,109 $119 $43,820,620 95 - (-) The Disaster Artist A24 $8,003 -13% 65 $123 $21,008,320 67 - (-) The Florida Project A24 $6,009 -42% 38 $158 $5,740,648 123 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weresweresweres Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Jumanji had 10.9 mln (352.5 total). in 7th weekend, TFA had 11.1 mln and 41 mln after that. In Monday after 7th weekend TFA earned 780k, Jumanji will probably earn less money but will have better 8th weekend, so 400 mln dream is not dead yet, but i would say that possibility that jumanji will earn below 400 mln is still higher.

narniadis Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 No no and no.... will always advocate for daily threads, even if they are only 2-3 pages it makes it easier and once panther opens and we have bigger numbers to track again the threads will be bigger. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avatree Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 The oscar movie grosses are so boring, they're all the same, Lady Bird, 3BB and Shape of Water all have made 44M. Would be nice for best picture winner to be something audiences actually watched i.e. Dunkirk 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Craig Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 No, daily threads. Sure there are a few weeks a year where interest slumps but that's tied to lack of movies that are a story worth following. May - July would be hell with this idea. Frankly in two weeks and for weeks to follow it'd be a bad idea. Patience caterpillar the fun starts back up soon. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I miss films like those winning Best Picture. Why is it always nowadays that one of the lower grossing Best Picture-nominees get to win, despite not doing larger numbers? I’m sensing a pattern here: Moonlight (2016) = $27M Spotlight (2015) = $45M Birdman (2014) = $42M 12 Years a Slave (2013) = $56M They all won Best Picture...but none of them hit over $100M DOM and are among the lowest grossing nominees. I mean, the last film to do that was ”Argo” with $135M back in 2012. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps this could be an issue for year-end , but certainly shouldn't be a problem for slump month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a2k Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 @titanic2187 2 cents: These days every month produces a giant opener at times unexpectedly. Imagine if we thought last Sept-Oct was gonna be weak and so we don't need daily threads, and then the IT storm descended upon us! I think BO is unpredictable enough and the lean periods are far and few, that daily threads being the norm is good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a2k Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 (edited) The gap between DoT and 12S hit 1m on 1st Wednesday (day 6) in favor of 12S and it has stayed that way since. DoT has a better PTA too and I think it has a shot at overcoming that gap in the late run. Edited February 6, 2018 by a2knet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps this could be an issue for year-end , but certainly shouldn't be a problem for slump month. I get it, it's your idea so you don't see the flaws. A few of us now have already said why in not so specific terms, so. I'm not sure just how new to the site you are but your post count would indicate not long. In the summer, when the films are firing hot and there are plenty of films with varied interest the daily threads can become 20+ pages with no problem and that's for 3-4 months at a stretch. As noted IT was a phenom this Fall and the Nov-Dec/mid-Jan saw plenty of action with films like The Greatest Showman breaking out so daily threads went higher. Post-MLK weekend, yes they've been down but Black Panther is coming. That alone will keep the daily threads with higher interest for weeks. Then A Wrinkle in Time opens and Tomb Raider for which people will follow daily for one reason or another. Thanks for the suggestion though and we are glad to have you. Your eagerness for daily BO is appreciated. Edited February 6, 2018 by Captain Craig 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a2k Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 11% Mon-Mon drop for TGS. I think the weekend drop will be under 10% thanks to Sun-Sun performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narniadis Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Also we have had this discussion in the past (which is why we have 1 weekend thread versus a Fri/Sat/Sun thread). Daily numbers are a different discussion from the weekend totals. That being said, ugh to under 800k for the #1 spot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WrathOfHan Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 (edited) Tickets sold today at my theater (* detonates reduced showtimes): Hostiles: 128 The Post: 64 Winchester: 59 Shape of Water: 57* 12 Strong: 57 Three Billboards: 47* Showman: 45 Jumanji: 42 (37 2D/5 3D) I, Tonya: 33 Maze Runner: 33 Phantom Thread: 31 Den of Thieves: 22 Forever My Girl: 16* Coco: 2* (late afternoon show was empty) Mostly everything increased with the exception of Maze Runner, FMG, Coco, and Showman. Hostiles jumped about 250% from Monday The BP nominees outside of Phantom Thread basically doubled their grosses. Winchester saw a nice increase from Monday. Oddly enough, the night show was the least crowded with only 7 seats sold; idk what the demo breakdown was but it has to be older skewing bc of Mirren Edited February 7, 2018 by WrathOfHan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
