[lorddemaxus]

So, if we assume that the Tuesday numbers got heavily deflated because of discounts, does that mean that the drop tomorrow will be soft?

[charlie Jatinder]

After yesterday, I am not comfortable reading the early numbers. On the one hand its less than half of yday while on other its not much less than Homecoming OD. lol.

Is midsommar another shitty movie like hereditary?

worse.  Even RT is worse, 82% vs Hereditary's 89%. For all critical gushing, it couldn't muster even 85% let alone over FFH (94%)

how can this happening ?

[TServo2049]

Because it’s a six-day opening, and the last good comparison was seven years ago? Forget everything you think you know.

why are we comparing FFH that opened on Tue to SMH that opened on Friday? Different type of rush, plus that pesky discount.

Let’s not try and paint the Midsommar reviews as anything less than impressive because it suits you lol

Don’t worry, Charlie. At least your calculation errors didn’t destroy a $200 million Mars orbiter.

I know it’s a tough sell, but this does not seem like a good start. 

Whoops I thought it was playing all day, didn’t realise this was a preview number. Good start

I'm not saying they are not impressive, just that considering gushing on twitter, I expected high 90s and was surprised by low 80s.

Not all discounts are 50%, that tends to be the max but at my theater it's more like 30%. Even with all 50% discounts (very very high estimate) and assuming 40% of theaters (very very high estimate) gave the discount and assuming that demand would have stayed the same without the discount the difference would be 7.2 million, so the true difference was likely much less than that.

The Marcus Theater we went to has the same tickets we paid $5 for priced at $13

[JohnnyGossamer]

Gonna be fun to watch this roll out. Discounts and it being a Tuesday deflated yesterday. Still believe 200+ is very likely.

At least be fair about critical reception where FFH has a 69 on MC and Midsommar has a 71.

 

Pretty clear Midsommar is a bit critically divisive (as in its not for everyone’s taste, but the people who do like it have given it higher scores), whereas critics agree that FFH is around the good-decent range.

Guess it depends then. Hard to say but I still doubt the effect was more than 5 million.
