Well at least it's better than the 112 day pre-sale window F9 originally had before the 'rona struck!   PROGRESS!!!

You could just do it in waves, all. Track the first week, then go to like every other day or every four days until you hit like T-30

If I was tracking it, this is how I'd do it. Track the first day then just do it maybe Tues/Fri every week until a month out. It's not like we're gonna learn anything by tracking it 100 days.

Sure. I just love that meme and wanted to share it lol

[GOGODanca]

Is there even anything to compare it to that far out? Might as well wait until the earliest  something like jurassic world 3 started sales

Can't actually directly quote the post, but here is what I said back in '20 regarding F9's first run.

 

Quote

I got the seat counts super late last night, but I didn't make the actual seat charts until earlier today.  So all of this data is from the first day of sales.

 

All in all, not too bad for a film more than three and a half months away from debuting.

 

(side note... Really???)

 

I haven't checked but I figure that there's gonna be a Super Bowl commercial tomorrow so I plan on making an update tonight, tomorrow, and Monday.  After that we'll see how it goes but I think I'll make an update in this thread either once a week or once every two weeks.

 

What I ended up doing, IIRC, was:

 

Daily: First three or four days, or so.

Th/Su: Next couple of weeks.

Weekly: After the first month.

 

Might have shifted to semimonthly, except then the 'rona hit and everything went up in smoke.  FWIW, since it took no time at all, I did update my home sheet daily.  Just wasn't much point in posting daily updates here.

 

Have to go back and check to see just how often I did actually post totals here, but I reckon the above playbook should work (Daily ---> Th/Su ----> Weekly [----> Semimonthly if it gets too slow]).

No.  Theoretically could compare it to pre-sales of the original run of F9 which was 112 days, but no real point in comparing an aborted pre-sale run with an unknown total with an actual pre-sale pattern.

I mean that's the obvious way but what's the fun (/torment) in that
