The Box Office Buzz and Tracking Thread (December 2021 - July 2023)

[Ronin46]

So 4 "early access" screenings for D&D. That will make working out a multi pretty difficult. I was thinking 3/35 but maybe its 4-5M total previews now depending on how wide the release is for these EA shows.

 

The last John Wick did 5.9/56.8/171 (9.6/3 multis). What are we looking at for this 1? 8.5*8.5  for 72M?

Sales for past day did not increase from previous day. But its in a good position for final surge from Monday onwards. 

 

John Wick MTC2 - 32286/378744 468580.04 2385 shows. 

 

Just as comp Shazam 2 was 22k T-1 !!!!

Previews !!! - 10483/369890 179309.23 1797 shows

 

Beyond these there are shows tomorrow for just Amazon Prime members. But those are just available through Atom if I am not wrong and I cannot track them. 

 

I think this will out open Shazam 2. Let us hope with great reviews buzz continue to build up with early shows reactions. 

 

@katnisscinnaplex can you get show counts across chains for all these early shows. Just to see what its going to gross before its opening thursday. 

I was able to pull the Amazon Prime shows as well. 

 

D&D

MTC1 March 19 - 22110/43224 209328.64 424 shows

MTC2 March 19 - 14718/34695 173637.03 278 shows

 

Those are really strong numbers. if it gets strong WOM from these shows its going to help its OW big time. now I think even 40m is possible !!!

 

Rest of MTC2 data is not that interesting for obvious reasons. 

 

MTC2

March 26 - 2775/15192 33950.21 139 shows

Any chance for John Wick to reach 80M OW?

The Monday Mystery Movie is Paint.

 

A Regal employee on Reddit said the trailer reel includes Blackberry, Rare Objects and The Lost King which are all IFC and he is a reliable employee as he announced the last Mystery Movie as Champions through the Focus Features trailers.

Hopefully the show counts explode in next 2 days. it has to have more shows than Shazam.

This seems like it's kinda pointing out how bad Shazam's release slot is. At least some of the massive Wick 4 aud would've gone to Shazam if Wick 4 wasn't dropping week 2. Shazam 2 was poleaxed and probably should've gotten an Aug/Sept slot if WB wanted it to get anything.

I'll say this again: Warner will deliberately be burying these Hamada leftovers in order to keep audiences from being confused when James Gunn's reboot commences next year, much like Disney did with the leftover FoX-Men movies to better set the stage for Marvel's X-Men. Blue Beetle might be the exception however, since there are rumours floating around about that being delayed to next year, no doubt being reedited into the new universe.

At this point I actually think WB is gonna be tempted to chunk Aquaman into a garbage chute next year (MLK Day slot?) to free up Christmas for something more viable (Dune? the Costner movie?) Aquaman is a waste of IMAX Christmas slots if its as crummy as the advance word seems to indicate. Dune in particular would likely benefit from a longer IMAX run.

Had no idea dungeons and Dragons had a preview screening today (in addition to the previously announced 3 others) so I'll be attending. It's playing every theater in the area and all are selling extremely well/sold out
