The Little Mermaid MiniTC2 T-2

 

EA - 1196/2912 (10 showings) $19,980
Previews - 5169/69180 (266 showings) $69,454

Comps

0.43x Super Mario Bros - $14.5M (adjust for full-day release, make it around $12M)

1.19x John Wick 4 - $10.6M

1.95x Scream 6 - $10.9M

1.87x Fast X - $14M

~0.6x Jurassic World 3 - $10.8M

The Little Mermaid MiniTC2

 

EA - 1575/2912 (10 showings) $26,194
Previews - 16473/73458 (290 showings) $205,699

 

Would normally mean around $11.5M though family movies can over-index here while black lead can under-index, si mix of two, once again let's settle in middle.

Yes, this community needs to hear my thesis on why this will underperform in a big way overseas.

But this is reactions day (though fewer reactions than usual) so I think more likely flat or slightly down tomorrow. But I think by Sunday it will be close to GOTG3 pace which was 10.5k and Monday onward it should be ahead, with the last couple days well ahead. 

When did JWD have its SM reactions? Because based on current pace, I have SV penciled in for a +7000-7500 Fri (with the caveat that holiday weekend is likely to disrupt “normal” patterns)

Do you have the actual sales number at this checkpoint? 

 

And honestly, if you just wanted to grab the T-11 (or 10) and T-7 numbers, that’s enough data points to gauge pace, rather than a full daily pull track

Forgot to punch it in to the post, sorry.  I'll edit it fully in to the post in the morning, but it's currently at 804 tickets sold

 

NB: Also I believe the social media embargo might have been lifted/or at least some early reacs are out, helping boost the pace

Theme of summer 2023: us all accepting that is not not 2019 any more. $100m opening weekend is really, really good in 2023. Something looking to 'break out' is looking at $100m ballpark. It is what it is.

 

I think we all know that FLASH will do more $7.6m previews and $67m that Black Adam hits. Doubling that, though, is a very heavy life. $115m is a reasonable true high end for opening weekend, with 90-100m more likely. Flash is doing pretty well compared to all non Marvel films. $135m would be a truly epic breakout though.

I think some of this is simply needing to adjust to the fact that for the first time since the pandemic we are in a period where newcomers won't have an open runway with unlimited screens.

 

Until this month a new tentpole could open without opposition for multiple weeks and without having to worry about how many screens it could be on.

 

It seems like the upside is likely to be cut some for most of these new movies not because of audiences rejecting them, but because audiences have to decide how many movies they want to see and how many screens they can have.

 

With a major new release pretty much every week and multiple in some weeks, new movies simply are going to be on fewer screens.

 

[Krissykins]

Sad to see the reductions to both The Boogeyman and The Flash but they make sense. I didn’t think Boogeyman was ever going that high.

4% isn’t much reduction for Flash range is still quite healthy $85M - 135M

Nope. High end/high end is 2.68x so low/low being 2.45 is plausible but not 3.29x

I think they meant 208... OW DOM range is huge... 85 to 135. So 208 would mean low end with a not super great multiplier.
