The best thing they could do for them is lower ticket prices for them

Or increase ticket prices for other movies     

 

A nice 15% charge on Endgame is all we would have needed for that crown...

Saw Endgame for the fourth time, theater almost full, still getting cheers.

 

I also asked if Annabelle got shoved into the new 50 seaters because they were underperforming, and they confirmed, they added a show or two of Yesterday.

 

And, on the AMC app, they have labeled Rocketman, Yesterday, Late Night and The Dead Don’t Die as Artisan

They don't really have a monopoly except in certain areas. AMC has about 659 theaters (15% of the total number in the US),

[Mekanos]

My local theater is Regal. I can't even think of any nearby AMCs with IMAX.

[Porthos]

No AMC's within 50 miles of yours truly.  Closest one is in Antioch in Contra Costa County.  Regal and Cinemark (under the Century brand) dominate here with a couple of other chains and independents getting the rest.

Will Saturday numbers be late as Friday?

Friday numbers weren't late, they just didn't come from Charlie so we had to wait for the normal sources who were as on time as they always are. And if we haven't gotten anything yet from Charlie chances are we won't until the official updates that will come in about 6 hours or so with Saturday numbers and Sunday estimates. Charlie's very early numbers aren't the norm, they're a privilege.

Yes, that is what we know, and until he can access it we go back to normal, waiting for other sources like Deadline and twitter for early numbers.

Film directorial debut for Rachel Griffiths. Teresa Palmer and Sam Neill. 

 

 

[JohnnyGossamer]

So spoiled usually. Get that tweaker's itch when we don't have numbers yet.

The rightest thing written on the board today...keeping "indie" and "smaller" movies around longer in empty theaters is not gonna do anything...but slashing the price will actually fill the theaters...

In Tacoma there is an Indy Theater called the Grand Cinema. It has a membership program that gives food and drink discounts and it's got great reviews. I need to check it out

Mine essentially has the same. Subtract Rocketman and replace it with Toy Story 4 though. Rest is the same.

[TwoMisfits]

What I'm wondering is if AMC will be changing their subscriber program to a "tiered" one, where you can get the indie movies for the "cheap" sub price, but the blockbusters for a more expensive one...ala what Moviepass tried at the end after everyone had quit them.

They usually don't update between the Saturday morning update and the official estimates Sunday morning. When there's a big movies opening, they'll sometimes add an update I think, but this is a pretty ho hum weekend in the grander scheme.

Child’s Play $4.28m, that’s a 69% drop.
