Animation is really suffering.

Just see how poor encanto made on theaters and then how it exploded in streaming. Seems like it's the genre people see more like "i can see it at home in 2 months, i can wait", 

 

Yeah i know but Minions. As we know that didn't get families but kids and 20s and something.

$55-65m for Thor L&T

 

Hope for $10m+ for Crawdads and Paws of Fury

 

 

"Reviews for “Paws of Fury” are still under embargo, so it’s unclear how critics responded to a movie that over-indexes on fart jokes."

Crawdads tonight has some 7-7.20 Pm early showings.

As predictable with very few shows most of them are already almost sold out (the auditorium i saw are all in the range of 50-100 seats).

A week out Cineplex has dropped more Thursday inventory, but not for the friday yet, hence the disparity.

Still just the one location with EA tonight, but they added a second showing.  Pretty modest numbers for Crawdads yesterday; perhaps this will let other regions without the book fan rush catch up a little.

 

Crawdads T-1 comps

 - Elvis - .823x (2.63m)

 - Dune - .402x (2.05m)

 - Uncharted - .758x (2.8m)

 - Black Phone - 1.65x (4.29m)

 - Halloween Kills - .5x (2.43m)

 - Ghostbusters - .505x (2.1m)

 - Dear Evan Hansen - 4.88x (2.93m)

 - West Side Story - 3.83x (3.06m)

 - Death on the Nile - 2.84x (3.13m)

 - Marry Me - 5.02x (2.64m)

 - Dog - 7.08x (8.92m)

 - Lost City - 1.466x (3.66m)

 - Downton + EA - 1.33x (1.4m)

 

Paws of Fury T-1 comps

 - Bad Guys - .651x (749k)

 - Peter Rabbit - .925x (833k)

 - Paw Patrol (Fri) - .128x (577k)

 - Encanto (Tue) - .319x (479k)

 - Ron's Gone Wrong - 3.81x (914k)

 

Mrs. Harris T-1 comps

 - Stillwater - 1.085x (304k)

 - Respect - .486x (316k)

 - House of Gucci - .14x (183k)

 - Spencer - 1.02x

 

Nope T-8 comps

 - Ghostbusters - .903x (3.75m)

 - NTTD - .84x (4.37m)

 - Suicide Squad - 1.45x (5.93m)

 - F9 - .55x (3.9m)

Super Pets T-15 comps

 - Minions 2 - .077x (824k)

 - Sonic 2 - .063x (313k)

 

Very early and nothing to worry about.

Growth rates here still decently strong, pacing ahead of Elvis, which was not a given its going to skew to a fan-heavy female audience. In fact, could wind up close to matching the 1600 total for your T-1hr samples

 

... but that's heavily propped up by Raleigh, almost certainly overindexing, and throwing off the ratios. Think over $2M Thursday (including EA) is happening, but can't be much more precise than that. So high teens for weekend (?), nothing too surprising it looks like

 

EDIT: For Crawdads, not Paws of Floppy :rofl:

I was going to look at rates today to give a target for sales, but decided to focus on something else.  I’m still on the $2m train just based on sales for now

So what I ended up looking at instead is the Crawdads EA shows for tonight.  I started running them around 12:30 EST and took a break for lunch.  I'll try to update with final-ish numbers later.  For now gross is a little over 211k for EA (using adult prices and could be missing shows.)

There was still a lot more families.


The problem is with Disney. And frankly putting Turning Red on streaming was a huge mistake. Even if it boosted subscribers.

Not sure if this forum knows or not, so maybe this will be redundant, but hearing that Bullet Train goes on sale on Wed, Jul 20.

 

My Discord friend who passes along this info isn't a member on this board, but maybe one day I'll convince him.

Whoops, Vengeance actually went on sale today. Scratch that part, but Bullet Train should still be on the 20th.

 

As mentioned in various articles already, Spidey extended is on sale on 8/9 and Dragon Ball on 7/22.

 

That's at least all I know of for now.

TN 6 11 869 1,371 $12,709

 

These totals don't include Canada or any theaters without reserved seating.  I am seeing a good number of showings in Canada tonight, so maybe the total gets close to $300k for early access.  With good walkups maybe it gets to $2.5 total previews.
