So I was thinking yesterday that when exactly did atp started to increase. Was seeing BW numbers yesterday & atp for them is significantly lower. BW alpha had just $13.6 atp vs $16.25 for GOTG3, which is a big difference but then eternals was $15.9.

here the difference of sales volume making a difference too. will probably look at more numbers.

 

From the larger cinema chains' quarterly financials -

 

AMC started adding $1 to the bigger films early in Q4 '21, with Regal following suit. Lately that has been $2 for bigger films, except for family films (i.e. Mario).

this.

if not for this, I have a very clear idea of what it is going for OW. the tension is high in the thread, so I won't be saying that number but let's see if the market crowding factor changes anything.

 

Flash will 100% have strong walk ups, no doubt. Just as Black Adam did.

I don’t really understand why some are so hot on Flash being a massive hit. For me it’s got a lot going against it - definitely an interesting one. Will be good to see how it performs, GotG showed there might be some ‘let’s see if it’s good first’ for CBMs.

That is more like it. Better pace than even Guardians at similar point. Let us see how the final surge goes. I am expecting a 10K Sunday and good final 4 days.

At least one major theater chain has Jurassic Park booked to open on June 9 for its 30th anniversary. I'm not sure yet if it'll be nationwide at all chains, or if it's exclusive to this one.

 

Turns out this is a CityWalk exclusive event at the theaters near the Uni theme parks. Oh well!

its with limited shows and that too mostly Dolby/XD. It almost sold out at big theatres in big cities. Elsewhere it did not fill up. Anyway this being a family movie, Friday BO would be the most critical.

You can’t completely determine the outcome of course but you can develop a pretty healthy sense of the general range — and the “how” of it is by comparing to lots of other movies 12 hrs vs how they finished

Does anyone know when the Review Embargo lifts for Flash?

Maaaan, if you think I have the energy to say anything after all of THAT.....

 

...

 

Well, will note that I decided not to include The Batman comp as even if I strip out the seats sold on the first two days of EA-only sales and only look at sales sold on the first full day of sales (2406 tickets sold), it comes in at 5.75m, which doesn't say much.  So while I could include it, I think it actively detracts and provides negative information.

PRE-SALE NOTE:  The Batman had two days of exclusive pre-sales for Early Access shows which resulted in 475 seats sold before regular showtimes went on sale.

 

 

Not that the AtSV comp provides much more, but it might be right in the area of being a tiny bit useful.  If folks want other comps, lemme know, but they probably won't be added 'till I shift to T-x.

 

NB:  Also refrained from using JWD Day 1 as a comp (mostly for disparate pre-sale window lengths). ❤️

[M37]

I’ll do a full update after the T-7 numbers are in, but just want to note that Spider-Verse is still blazing along the JWD/BA track, which puts the expected preview in the $16-$20M range. And generally (but it’s not quite that simple), the better the growth rate, the higher the IM 

 

If anything has a chance to top GOTG3 as the best non-Mario opening of the year, it’s not Flash or even Indy, but SV

[Joyous Legion]

 Might as well put 17.5M in the bank for marvels at this rate 🧐
