Going to be fucking insane if Top Gun finally beats At World's End Memorial Day record after 15 years at the top. Trust in Tom

BUMPER start. 4th best start after NWH, DSitMoM and The Batman. Almost 70% of The Batman and 310% of Jurassic World Dominion.

 

FWIW The Batman wasn't all that backloaded so may be it need not do a lot after this start. Though regional over indexing may be a concern and we may need to see it. 

 

Let's see how it go for a week or so but I think $10M+ previews is locked.

Still going at pretty solid pace. Better trend than Batman. Batman was 6k at T-14 days, this will be 5k+.

 

Now, looking deeper, California & Phoenix 4 theaters, which are best performers for the chain are not that hot for this. 

 

California makes only 862 of these i.e 18% as compared to usual 30% this far out. The Batman was 1692 at T-14. Phoenix 4 are better at 1643 vs 2273 of The Batman (T-14). CA being 50%, Phoenix 4 being 72%.

 

BUT. The smaller theaters, the other 25 of them, have 2098 sold vs 2035 of The Batman. 

 

I don't have any good comps for this. Eternals comp is $23M approx, Black Widow is $26M. LOL.The Batman is around $17M.

 

Thanks @Menor Reborn for data.

Decided to follow @Inceptionzq's lead and add DS2 to the comps to see if I can get some sort of sanity restored. 

 

Still a kinda wild comp considering DSMoM over-performed locally, had a stronger start, and has been on sale for six more days than TG:M.  That the comp looks semi-reasonable just shows how much TG:M is beasting here.

Edited May 11, 2022 by Porthos

[charlie Jatinder]

The regional variance for TG2 is so high, we definitely will have to rely on National numbers instead of regionals. Hopefully @ZackM start tracking it soon.

[Krissykins]

Damn, looking at Firestarter’s presales and Men’s location count, I’m thinking Scream will remain the only horror hit this year so far. Some great films, but it’s been a quiet first 5 months for the genre at the box office.

The Black Phone looks good and should do well next month. Just a matter of product and limited appeal issues. A Firestarter remake always seemed like an incredibly random project that no one was asking for (the fact the studio ultimately decided to make it a day-and-date seems to indicate such as well).

Damn, looking at Firestarter’s presales and Men’s location count, I’m thinking Scream will remain the only horror hit this year so far. Some great films, but it’s been a quiet first 5 months for the genre at the box office. 

Salems Lot is going to surprise, there’s a reason why new line has it in the same weekend as both IT films. The movie is good. The trailer is just around the corner and will get some nice traction.

There is no question Sacremento is over indexing for TG2. That said DS2 is not a good comp for TG2 considering final week sales will be much better for TG2. Despite big sales it has just sold 10% of its seats. 

 

Overall sales are really good for TG2. MTC1(Alpha) has sold around 70K including early shows while MTC2 is around 40K. Thinking early shows will be around 3-4m and low double digits for previews. Friday sales are looking promising as well. I am thinking around 9-10k overall previews. And so if it can hit 15m including early shows, it can do 135-150m range over 4 days. Then its all about WOM.

Firestarter, counted today a few minutes ago for Thursday:

NY (AMC Fresh Meadows 7): 23 (3 showtimes)
Miami (AMC Sunset Place 24): 6 (2 showtimes)
Grand Rapids (AMC Grand Rapids 18): 6 (2 showtimes)
Austin (AMC Lakeline 9): 2 (2 showtimes)
Tempe/Phoenix (AMC Centerpoint 11): 14 (3 showtimes)
San Francisco (AMC Metreon 16): 27 (3 showtimes)
LA (AMC Universal): 66 (3 showtimes)

Total tickets sold in 7 theaters: 144.

Comps: The Forever Purge (1.3M from previews) had also on Wednesday of its release week 168 sold tickets for Thursday

and X (? from previews) had 214 sold tickets.

Firestarter, counted today at the same time for Friday:

NY (AMC Fresh Meadows 7): 39 (5 showtimes)
Miami (AMC Sunset Place 24): 1 (8 showtimes)
Grand Rapids (AMC Grand Rapids 18): 3 (5 showtimes)
Austin (AMC Lakeline 9): 2 (3 showtimes)
Tempe/Phoenix (AMC Centerpoint 11): 2 (5 showtimes)
San Francisco (AMC Metreon 16): 28 (5 showtimes)
LA (AMC Universal): 40 (6 showtimes)

Total tickets sold in 7 theaters: 115.

Comps (all counted on Wednesday for Friday): Old (16.9M OW) had 262 sold tickets in 7 theaters,

Malignant (5.4M OW) had 167 sold tickets also in 7 theaters

and The Night House (2.9M OW) had 72 sold tickets in 6 theaters.
Looks like ca. 4-5M OW at the moment I would say.

 

Family Camp unfortunately is indeed only a mini-release. It had today showtimes only in 2 of my 7 theaters and sold 6 tickets for Thursday and 0 for Friday.

So I guess Firestarter is looking like a.... nonstarter.

You could even say it wont ignite any fire at the box office.
