The review embargo for Scream seems to drop at 8am tomorrow morning.

Clarify what movie talking about

Champions had also yesterday 21 and 70 sold tickets (most sells in the AMC in LA).
It seems to be a quite nice feel good film and I could see this becoming a little hit if it (also) connects with the religious crowd. But so far I see no signs for that. It has shows in the AMC in Michigan where e.g. The Chosen and American Underdog did fine but had almost no presales there yesterday. Maybe that changes in the next few days.

Comps: Overcomer (8.1M OW) finally had 91 and 34 sold tickets
and American Underdog (5.9M, 2-day weekend including Christmas Day) had, also finally, 139 and 141 sold tickets.
Cry Macho (4.4M) had on the same day, Monday of the release week, 17 sold tickets for Friday.
And 80 for Brady (12.7M) had on Tuesday of the release week (= Champions has 1 day left) 120 and 91 sold tickets.

I think it is UK time, some uk critics posted images of themselves at the premier and at the bottom of the screen it said the embargo drops at 8 am.

65, counted yesterday for Thursday:

NY (AMC Fresh Meadows 7): 44 (3 showtimes)
Miami (AMC Sunset Place 24): 13 (2 showtimes)
Grand Rapids (AMC Grand Rapids 18): 7 (2 showtimes)
Austin (AMC Lakeline 9): 12 (2 showtimes)

San Francisco (AMC Metreon 16): 30 (3 showtimes)

Total tickets sold in 7 theaters: 157.

Comps (all counted on Monday of the release week for Thursday): Plane (435k from previews) had 89 sold tickets,
Beast (925k) had 147
and Moonfall (700k) had 584.
Too uneven for a guess at the moment.
At least that doesn't look too bad.

65, counted yesterday for Friday:

NY (AMC Fresh Meadows 7): 41 (5 showtimes)
Miami (AMC Sunset Place 24): 19 (4 showtimes)
Grand Rapids (AMC Grand Rapids 18): 4 (4 showtimes)
Austin (AMC Lakeline 9): 4 (4 showtimes)

San Francisco (AMC Metreon 16): 33 (5 showtimes)
LA (AMC Universal): 33 (5 showtimes)

Total tickets sold in 7 theaters: 142.

Comps (all counted on Monday of the release week for Friday): Plane (10.3M OW) had 83 sold tickets,
Beast (11.6M) had 111,
The Protégé (2.9M) had 32
and Moonfall (9.9M) had 185 sold tickets.
Fantasy Island (12.3M) had on Wednesday (= 2 days left for 65) 506 sold tickets. But it had no Thursday show which makes 65 look worse than it is. With Thursday show it would have been ca. 250 sold tickets for Fantasy Island and 65 could reach that number by tomorrow.

 

Looks like mid-teens in my theaters at the moment.

More like Scflop VI.

[vafrow]

Cineplex updated their showings for this weekend and coming week, which happens to be March break here for most schools in the area. For whatever reason, they're going in pretty hard for Mummies. It seems to be in every major theatre, bumping Puss in Boots out of many, or at minimum just to matinees in bigger theatres.

 

I'm not sure if its getting a similar push in the states. All reports are that this is a direct to DVD quality. But it fills the void of zero kids films for months.

 

I'm curious how it does up here at least, as a bit of an experiment of what the baseline is for a kids movie is when there's no competition.

[TwoMisfits]

It finally happened - 1st local drops Avatar this weekend (Puss is the sole remaining movie from before February here, keeping a 1/2 screen of matinees)...Scream is getting 2.25 screens (6 PLF showings, 5 reg), while Creed holds 1 PLF screen and 1 regular and Ant Man drops to 1 regular screen.

 

2nd local holds both the 2022 holdovers with just 1 matinee each, and is giving Scream 2 regular screens and holding Creed on 2, while also dropping Ant Man to 1.

 

Creed had a bigger set, so I'd expect Scream to definitely come in lower for the weekend...but that still leaves a lot of room to get a good open.

 

PS - I should mention both theaters are opening 65 and Champions and putting them on one screen at the bottom of the "buy tickets" list in their smallest theaters...so they are there...and they'll be gone by John Wick 3, if I was a betting person...
