Elvis Thursday Previews MTC1 - 16690/149964 267262.50 1025 shows. 

 

Its early shows are also looking good but the show count is very limited (41 shows MTC2 and 81 in MTC1). I think Elvis will win next weekend even with TGM having another great hold.

Elvis is doing well locally, but not even a "worth a Q&D check going forward" well.  Especially when I have three other films to track.

 

Anyway, including EA, Elvis is at  773/9187 (8.41%)

 

58% of Dune (2.95m)

45% of NTTD (2.81m)

32% of Shang-Chi (2.83m)

57% of Sonic 2 (3.55m) [used for late arriving sales]

 

...

 

I think the use of my previous gif stands.

Cinemark XD showings for Elvis were just added this weekend, while the regular showtimes have been up since day one. Weirdly. So I guess it's a slowroll or they're waiting until they can secure IMAX or something? Of course the runtime will hurt too. Excluding PLF, it won't be on more than 1 screen at theaters so they can only feasibly fit in 3-4 showings per day

These comps look good considering a 1 is CBM & other two ended up frontloaded.

 

3M+ THU possible I suppose.

[BestPicturePlutoNash]

Elvis should definitely do over 3+ for previews so good news. Lost City did 2.5m with 3pm showings and early screenings. In 2019 Rocketman did 2.3m total thursday (1.75 actual Thursday, 500k from early screenings) with 7pm showtimes.

Yes, that is the correct total.  Was somewhat juiced by 25 tickets at one theater, but even taking that one theater out, just a strong day of sales locally.

Very excellent start to Elvis.

How many theaters would open "Mr. Malcolm's List" on July 1 ?  I had seen some TV spots of this film.

The distributor is begging for anyone and everyone to play it.

It's Bleecker Street. I wouldn't expect much.

[Porthos]

Did we ever find out for 100% sure what was up with that reported $5.2m previews for Lightyear?  I know that both Empire City and Charlie Jatinder think that there is no way that it actually counted the Wed EA showings, but I'm curious if anyone has an actual number for Wed/Thr and not a guesstimate.

 

@Shawn  Any chance you can ask around and find out what the deal is on this?  I only ask coz if the Wed/Thr total is closer to around 5.8m or so as I've seen surmised, it'll matter quite a bit for future comps involving LY.

 

(in fact, I'm leaning toward not counting LY in future comps at all if it really is a Thr only number as there is quite a bit of difference between 5.2m and 5.8m)

[filmlover]

I just checked sales for The Black Phone around me and they actually seem pretty solid for both Thursday and Friday night? Maybe it can hit high teens after all.
