Any idea how Halloween is doing?

Some anecdotal evidence from me: 

 

The showing in an hour has 4 out of 200 seats sold (Venom's equivalent was 100+), and I can't access the one starting right now, but they're every hour.

 

Also it's rated 18 here (a strict cutoff), meaning any horror seeking 16/17 yr olds are alienated and unable to watch it.

 

At Cineworld Crawley the showing in 2 minutes has about 150 / 400 tickets sold, which means primetime Saturday Evening couldn't even half fill it 😕

Huge preview #s for Bohemian. ASIB is gonna get clobbered. 

Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody has begun its UK box office run with a promising £1.62m opening Wednesday night (October 24).

The 20th Century Fox release played in 575 venues, giving it a site average of £2,817.

The Wednesday opening makes accurate comparisons fairly tricky, but fellow music-themed release A Star Is Born opened two weeks ago on a Wednesday with £522,000. Another recent Wednesday opener in a similar genre would be Pitch Perfect 3, which took £1m in December 2017, while The Greatest Showmantook £654,000 on its opening Tuesday in that same month.

It should be noted that tickets have been available for Wednesday for over 2 months, so expect much frontloading

The Greatest Showman + Mamma mia 2 + A star is born will make together more than this year Marvel movies Infinity War + Black Panther + Ant Man 2 😂

This makes me very happy. Haha.

BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY legt in GB mit 9,5 Mio. Pfund ($12,2 Mio.) los - das ist der siebtbeste Start des Jahres, aber der beste Start des Jahres für einen Film, der keine Fortsetzung oder Spin-Off ist...

means ~ 7th best start of the year, but best start for a movie that's neither a serial nor a spin-of movie
