Spider-man across the Spiderverse Previews

MTC1(T-4) -  124173/747681 2211524.81 4002 shows +8053

MTC2 - 69680/411611 1014047.67 2515 shows +5989 

 

It did accelerate but being Memorial weekend, Tomorrow would be the Sunday like boost and I am expecting stronger boosts from Tuesday onwards. 

Spider-man across the Spiderverse Previews

MTC1(T-3) -  137674/749752 2426946.72 4025 shows +13501

MTC2 - 77775/416951 1126539.75 2553 shows +8095 // ~22hrs of data

 

Again its showing growth. But this is still like a "Sunday". Tomorrow is the key day. Its not just the 1st final weekday but also just couple of days before release. I am expecting a strong boost. Let us see how the TMobile/Atom deal also helps. I will hone in on its previews after its run tomorrow. But as of today I am expecting wed/thu to go like 25K+/100K+ finish. So I am seeing previews at 17m+. 

 

I would like to hope it can pull in a Minions but that was way lower level at this point. So its too much to expect a much bigger presales movie to behave like that. But at least out perform relative to final 2 days of MCU movies is what I expect. I also expect huge bump in shows tomorrow as final allocations will start tomorrow. Its too low relative to sales. Mermaid was lot higher last week with way lower sales.

Can you do a Friday update please?

[keysersoze123]

Boogeyman MTC1 previews - 2781/77833 40630.63 729 shows

 

it will add some more shows and I am thinking sub 1m previews. Probably in 700-800K range for now.

I will run it. 

 

 

BTW what do folks think Tuesday will be, Chewing on the factors(it being T-2 plus with TMo/Atom Deal), 22k+ is my guess :-)

[keysersoze123]

Spider-man across the Spiderverse MTC1 Friday - 107042/925931 1886447.98 4606 shows

 

Friday pace is way higher than previews as expected. It sold almost 26K from last check sometime yesterday. Let us again check tomorrow night to gauge the daily pace.

Not quite seeing the growth needed for a Full Track from Yours Truly.  If I didn't have so many balls in the air right now, prob would have been doing a full track all along.  As it is, Q&Ds will have to do.

Gotta admit, I'm having a hard time seeing +/- 17m when looking at Sacto numbers.  Think I'm much more on a +/- 15m train, myself.  And that's presuming a nice level of acceleration against comps like GOTG3.

 

Then again, I've barely looked at the numbers out of other markets for the last week with everything else going on, never mind given it a rigorous level of thought so take the above with several massive grains of salt.

 

The one thing I will note, and was a surprise to me, is that there wasn't any screen expansion yet (for when theaters set up their provisional Thur schedule).  Memorial Day is obs throwing the schedule off, but I expected some theaters to start expanding their sets.  Those screens will start to fill out in a hurry when they do get added, so that might bump up Tue/Wed more than normal.  Then again, I was expecting more of a bounce today out of Sacto for MDW related reasons, so who knows.

 

Either way, the proof will be in the pudding, and said pudding should be seen baking in the oven over the next two days...

So Flash is selling way less than The Batman even. The hope is simply that it somehow behaves like movies like Jurassic World or Avatar?

 

Why are you choosing to compare to The Batman, a character who has a massive fanbase including Pattinson fans, and not Black Adam and Shazam?
