So $60M for the weekend? That would be a similar drop for A Star Is Born. $350M might be happening

I think $17m would be more $55m.

 

Which would only be a -43% drop 😮

NYC one did 39k today, shall be around 44k (19 shows) tomorrow & 39k (17 shows) on Sunday, 122k.

 

The other two needs to do 178k, they did 53k (36k & 17k).

This weekend, Parasite is only playing at three cinemas across the US: One in New York (The IFC Center) and Two in Los Angeles (The Arclight and Landmark). Let's look at each one individually:

 

IFC CENTER (NYC):

I'm gonna let these figures speak for themselves:

 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

All in all, the film has 55 showing for the weekend at the theater, across 4 of the 5 screenings. Given what I found about the seating at IFC, I am looking at an average of 125 seats per show and an average cost of about $15 per ticket. This would grant Parasite about $102,300 for the weekend.

 

LANDMARK (LA):

There are 14 shows daily (except for Sunday, which has 15 shows) - The auditoriums showing the film seat 44, 299, and 297 respectively. Given how the evening shows are looking, let's suppose an 80% average capacity for the whole weekend. So that would be roughly 6,000 seats for the weekend. Again, ticket prices average around $12-15, so like the IFC in New York, we're very close to a $100k PTA this weekend.

 

On Saturday, there is a Q&A with director Bong Joon-Ho and some of the cast, as well as 3 Q&As on Sunday.

 

ARCLIGHT (LA):

Parasite has 18 shows on Friday, 19 on Saturday, and 23 on Sunday. The auditoriums this film is on seat 430, 246, 203, and 203 respectively. Let's again suppose that there is a 70% average capacity for the weekend, but know that ticket prices here average around $15-18. That's around ~3,000 seats sold each say (adding an extra 800 for Saturday's dome Q&A and 500 for extra shows on Sunday) for 10,300 tickets for the weekend. That would push the PTA over $150k!

 

On Saturday, there are two Q&As with director Bong Joon-Ho and some of the cast. One is in the 800 seat dome.

 

--

 

Overall, I think this is on track for a PTA over $100k.

Another one of my theory proven right.

 

The biggest DC character was always  The Joker.

Batman is actually its Robin.

 

Give to The Joker a title like The Crazy Clown with the exact same film and you d be lucky to do 80m dom.

 

The Joker is gonna do 300m, aiming at 350 with a shot at 400m.

 

Man oh man, that Superhero fatigue is finaly kicking in eh ?

17

23 (+35%)

18.4 (-20%)

= 58.4

 

Wouldn't rule out 60 yet. Chance that Sat could hit +40% but even without that >55 weekend for sure with 17 Fri.

[forg]

That's a strong openingn for Addams Family, I thought it would be another Animated Movie disappointment this year!

 

Jexi came out of nowhere, right lol Did it have marketing or just really a CBS Films dump 

[Hatebox]

Oh god, people are going to be disappointed with under 60m, aren't they?

59.9 really would be a tragic flop, but luckily it's still on track to beat that

If the joker was DC's biggest character then surely this would have opened over 150m? Wonder Woman will end up having a bigger gross?

Joker may not be the biggest DC character but it's outperforming films like Batman v Superman (on 2nd weekend and with a good chance to come very close WW) which had arguably the most popular superheroes at the time. 

[TMP]

Is A24 gonna try to market that Mike Mills/Joaq film to mainstream audiences now that he just starred in a huge blockbuster? Or are Mills' sensibilities not commercial enough? I've not seen his work, so I don't know.
