Reviews aren't looking strong enough to cause a big boost imo

80 on RT with 61 reviews, very unlikely to lead to a massive boost

Let us not make this a RT watch thread. 

 

That said looking at final week burst of Thor 4 which was strongest among the 3 MCU movies last year, reviews dont matter that much unless they are uber rave or crap like Ant 3. This is in neither category. 

 

I would rather see how the tickets sale spike today after reactions/reviews are out. That is more telling.

Just a suggestion. I would rather compare ticket sales than ATP. If you want you can adjust comps based on ticket sales.

This wont show full effect of reactions/reviews. Tomorrow's update would be the right indication of that. Still there is partial boost and you can see that by slightly over 30% boost.

How do these numbers stack up vs a typical CBM? Have a feeling its going to play like a bit of both (which will of course make tracking fun)

So at 46% awareness, it has a 75% chance of 60M, 50% chance of 90M and 25% chance of 100M. And at 6.16 Interest, that would be an automatic 100% chance of 100M. Awareness has been the more reliable of the two in terms of defining an opening weekend, with Interest being more of a "this is how likely it will reach a certain Awareness threshold". So I don't think a 100M opening is going to happen just yet, but I see 60M as the floor so far, with 70M+ more likely.

So basically 100% chance of OW being above Shazam 2's entire domestic run.

The script I was running picked up out of market data yesterday so ignore seats sold for today 

(Yesterday's numbers should have been around 6100)

 

Tomorrow the script should be working fine so numbers will be more accurate 

 

Note: It's at roughly half of Mario's OD

Massive jump today. Best day here since launch 

 

It looks like it will do about 0.70x of Mario OD (Mario 12,401 tickets sold as of T-0) ...That would put GOTG3 at ~$22M previews...However, accounting for Mario strong 3D sales and it was an OD vs GOTG Preview, I would say high teens to maybe $20M

 

Note: Mario is not a great comp, just thought i would throw that out there

6 days to go, I'd think it would be more likely to match Mario T-0 off of 699 sold today assuming normal bumps in the final days. Is this data like for like?

Exact same markets. Mario went absolutely crazy in the final 5 days

 

Mario had 4540 tickets sold as of T-6

Right, I'm not saying that matching Mario as of your final count would mean the final tickets sold would be anywhere close to Mario OD. Just that if Mario T-0 was 12401 in your equivalent markets, GOTG would seem to be on pace to match that number. Absolutely insane review bump compared to the last daily pace of like ~170.

true. If it paces ~800 tickets per a day for the next 5 days that would be close to 11k tickets, maybe even 12k assuming final hours are super strong.

Why is there a line if its reserved seating. If its not reserved seating, why? Its 2023.

Because free promotional screenings want to ensure a full house - maximum eyes on the screen to drive WOM - and so give out more tickets than seats available. Can’t really implement reserved seating with that process, so it’s first come, first serve

I don't envy @keysersoze123 though when he comes out of the screening and checks the NBA scoreboard.
