I predict a major acceleration in the coming days in the LA market at the very least. 👍

On a serious note I would be really happy for Jokic if Nuggets win it all. But I expect heat to win it as any team I back are losing it in the next round.

Here's the approximate benchmarks for Alpha to keep on that pace, from a current value of 52.7K for Thursday (excluding early shows from these numbers)

• T-4 = around 65K (+25% or so)
• T-2 = around 90K (+70-75%)
• T-F = 170K-185K

Family movies usually have much better Sat (T-5) sales than most films which tend to dip on Sat before really taking off on Sunday. But Sunday probably still tops Saturday's total, so looking at ~66K, slightly ahead of expected pace, but still mostly on that same growth track.

 

Now if Sunday does really well, like +7000 or better, then may have to re-calibrate the projection a bit higher. Still not seeing it clearing 200K final, though can't rule it out yet

I see it more in $11-12 range when you adjust for a lower ATP with more families & lower PLF share, but up to $13M wouldn’t really surprise me

come on man. This is an original animated movie. Why would people rush to buy tickets in advance? We are not talking something like Incredibles 2 or TS4 here

I think you're better off with comparisons like Encanto or Bad Guys tbh. Mainly because it's an original animation. Even with Pixar name, there won't be a big rush.

I dont have comps this far out. Plus Encanto did not do well OW despite opening during thanksgiving week and not so big competition. Here competition is intense and there are no holidays and its following another family flick.

Yeah there's intense competition for sure but Elemental wasn't likely to have strong presales in the first place. Original animation tends to be very backloaded until the final week/OW.
