Hmm. Quite surprised with how good the comp is going to be. The USA previews looks like are heading for $3M+ and another $250K in Canada.

I didn't pull ticket prices for either of those, but I did pull RRR today.  It has sold 1,294 tickets for 37,031.96. An ATP of... $28.62!

 

There were many shows that were going for over $30.  Surprisingly, the cheaper showtimes were nearly empty 

[charlie Jatinder]

$2.1M+ pre-sales for previews as of Monday morning. 4 more days to go. Will add $1M or so.

$525K+ for FRI. May be $2M+ OD possible.

I didn't see it mentioned anywhere, but I was noticing shows as early as 1:30pm for RRR previews.   (Looking at my showtimes source I'm seeing as early as 10:30am in some places.)

Ah that makes a lot of sense.  So Telugu shows are selling much better than the others it would seem.

I think the biggest issue RRR is facing compared to Bahubali is the Indian freedom struggle based story. There seems to be a cap on how much people want to actually watch of that era anymore. Maybe this bucks the trend, but so far apparently sales in India aren't great.

The biggest issue is that RRR is just a Telugu film directed by Baahubali director. Baahubali 2 did $11.5M in Telugu in USA and $10M in other two. RRR will target $11-12M in Telugu and others may be $1-3M.

Yeah. NTR and Ram Charan are way more known as Telugu actors than Prabhas was during Bahubali. Allu Arjun is known as a Telugu actor but was unrecognizable in Pushpa which helped with the North audiences. 

 

RRR is in a weird place with the subject and the cast for sure, not to mention Kashmir Files still doing really well in India enroute to what looks like a possible 300 Crore run.

wonder if this will effect Sonic 2's pre-sales?

 

 

[BruiseCruise]

Oh wow they are really confident

[Borobudur]

Just call a Sonic 2 a 100m opener now, we mop the meltdown later.

Lol, fuck this. I think my Regal subscription will cover this, but none of my friends can watch it with me now (cuz no one in their right mind will pay $22 to watch it in a mid cinema).

Well, now wouldn’t it be nice if in generations from now, the pandemic will be seen as “bookended by the two Sonic movies”

Basically course correction. Sonic started Paramount win streak and started the Pandemic. With Sonic 2, Paramount will be back to burning cash.

Well when distributor are fool enough to shell idiotic $6-7M for market your potential is 300-350k admits, these moronic pricing are gonna happen.
