Heretic Posted May 11, 2017 Author Share Posted May 11, 2017 (edited) Alien pre-sales for IMAX are very strong. In 2D not as much. It has some 8:30pm shows this evening at Vue cinemas which look pretty full. Think we can expect quite a big opening.

Avatree Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 I think Guardians should be good for $50M. I'm not convinced about how strong Alien is going to open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it'll match or be slightly smaller than Prometheus The 8.30pm screenings were part of the super ticket they did with Alien Day Edited May 11, 2017 by Jonwo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted May 11, 2017 Author Share Posted May 11, 2017 It must be doing much better in London then because pre-sales are quite good here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchumacherFTW Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 IMAX is looking busy tomorrow for the 8pm show in Stevenage tomorrow, but the 17:10 show I'm at is considerably quieter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's possible Alien is a title that does better at night than during the day. It's 15 rated which does reduce its audience a little but I think it'll have good walk ins.

One thing I remember with Prometheus was that presales were VERY IMAX orientated for that, I think it even broke records at the BFI (which were promptly crushed).

Heretic Posted May 11, 2017 Author Share Posted May 11, 2017 (edited) BFI IMAX is very busy for Alien. It's definitely acting like Prometheus with regards to the fact that pre-sales are heavily orientated towards IMAX and Xtreme screens/super 2D screens.

Because of the ER differences from three years ago in dollars it will slightly decrease, stay flat, or slightly increase. But in Pound it will increase from the first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Alien Covenant is going to do well but it's not going to match Prometheus' total. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krissykins Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Alien was really busy last night at my showing but not quite sold out. Fun film, with problems, but hopefully it opens well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
