I find it cute how Americans fight against reserved seating and make stupid comments like "5 years before". Fuck off. Reserved seating is by far the best. You guarantee the spot you're in. If you're too late to find the spot you want, then go and fucking book tickets for another showing instead of wasting your time by showing up hours before the screening.

Spoken truly like someone without Moviepass.  If it's a later showtime then just go earlier in the day and buy tickets for a show later that night.  I did that with Disaster Artist and got in just fine.

This. Unless you drive really far to go to a movie theatre, it's really not that difficult to stop by earlier in the day and pick up a ticket, whether a site has reserved seating or not. And if a site does do reserved seating, get their App (Regal, Cinemark, AMC etc), and you can track how busy a showtime is by what seats are still available.

 

Any idiot just randomly driving to theatres to use their moviepass shortly before a showtime (especially for a weekend like BP had) deserves to waste gas money, when they could have just looked on an exhibitor's or Fandango's app to see what seats were still available and if it was worth going to the theatre to pick up a ticket.

I hate these inflations...  We are already bumping Spider-Man up to 342?  Does the money we spend to a movie even count (towards the overall gross), or are all these numbers just made up?

I do not understand the question.

 

To see how much 2018 dollar a movie made, use that inflation calculator:

 

http://www.usinflationcalculator.com/

 

That will make the best possible (impossible to be perfect) the money we spent on a movie a bit like putting everything in US dollar when you calculate a movie box office, using dollar from 2 different year make as much sense as comparing Canadian dollar and US dollar box office without conversion in a common devise.

 

Using ticket inflation is really misleading, business logic would suggest that if Spider-Man movie ticket would have costed more, it would have sold less of them. And if Ultron ticket were cheaper even thought it would made less at the Box office it would sold more ticket and show a bigger number on that list.

 

i.e. if people want to talk in admission instead of box office, may as well talk in admission (like many other market do)

This weekend had 8,000 new theater counts come in and lost a net of 7,000.  so about 15,000 theater counts from movies last week were lost.  New product this week will be about 7,000 incoming.  The overall theater count number for next weekend should be at least 40,000 so there will probably be a net loss of no more than 5,000.  Probably some expansions for Phantom Thread etc. too!

Yep; it especially sucks with reserved seating.

Except moviepass is a great deal and people who pre-order tickets are also paying an extra fee. 

[StevenG]

Fucking history was made.

So happy for this film's success and for what it [hopefully] means in terms of future movies. This truly is a game-changer (just like Wonder Woman was) in the sense that it shatters Hollywood's conventional "wisdom" about what audiences want to see ("Black movies are a hard sell, especially on a global scale"; "Female superheroes are a hard sell; nobody wants to see a woman superhero").

Although, I am scared that Hollywood's moronic studio heads might actually go back to their old ways as soon as the next superheroine or POC superhero film flops, since they will try to justify their ages-old paradigms.

Just like white dude superheroes are allowed to flop at the box office and still more films about white dude superheroes are made, POCs and women in CBMs need to get that same treatment.

yes yes.  Thank you.  it is all ratios of Marvel vs Marvel grosses.  but still, it is like....last year Spider-Man crawled its way up the all time list and every dollar was counted.  Then one year later, the avg ticket price just JUMPS UP again and wow!  If a movie is to match Spider-Man from last year, now it has to gross 342.  I am just whining.  Thanks for that informative reply.  I usually type first, and think and edit later.  =)

I agree. Anything under a 55% drop off an inflated holiday weekend would be great. Actually, even under a 60% drop would be quite good.

[Mekanos]

Sub-55% drop should be the goal. Anything else is gravy.
