San Francisco (AMC Metreon 16): 0 (4 showtimes)
LA (AMC Universal):  8 (4 showtimes)

Total tickets sold in 6 theaters: 9. Just horrible.

 

Comps (all counted for Friday): Easter Sunday had on Monday 162 sold tickets
and Massive Talent had also on Monday 165 sold tickets.
Father Stu had on Tuesday 16 sold tickets in 6 theaters.

I wonder which group is the main target audience for this film? It's called a comedy and satire but the trailer doesn't seem to be „anti-Christ“, probably anti-megachurches but I do not know much on this subject. Or should I just compare it to other comedies? But OTOH with these presales to find the right comps isn't that important 😉.

 

Tomorrow Spider-Man and the Saturday. E.g. it seems (after a quick look a few minutes ago) that the Saturday is the best day of the weekend for Jaws.

Can the Jaws Rerelease outgross Jaws The Revenge?

Can the Jaws Rerelease outgross Jaws The Revenge?

Im probably overreacting (wouldn't be first time), but while I totally get the reason for these older rereleases (and yes I think Jaws Rerelease CAN outgross revenge lol), I do wonder if the studios see these little rereleases start getting ideas. Ideas as in going through their streaming catalogue and, no not necessarily remaking movies (though that too), but if these rereleases do gangbusters, do theatres start pumping older movies back in theatres, not as a 1 night thing like I know they do sometimes, but man what better way than make some extra Covid-lost cash by getting a few extra million on movies they don't have to make? I mean video game studios already essentially rehashing or prettying up older releases and charging full price-Im concerned studios might start saying "hey, what a great way to get a few extra million a movie without doing the work!" 

 

Like I said, Im probably overreacting.....I sure hope so.

I mean to be fair the momentum for these re-releases have been nonexistent compared to new movies. E.T. and Rogue One barely made jack over its last few days.

Speaking from just Harkins pov for NWH.

 

NWH was 25-30 seats a day before $3 SAT announcement. Yday it did just 14 for THU and 700+ for SAT. Today it seems like around 20-30 for THU and 600 for SAT. Ideally should be doing 60-75 for THU now.

How many theaters will show "Gigi & Nate"?  I had seen the TV spots in several channels.

[Gokira2012]

I'm wondering if a higher P&A= Higher Box Office

It's meant to be a satire on the shady nature of evangelists, with perhaps some inspiration from Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker (who were recently the subject of an Oscar-winning biopic). It looks funny, but the subject matter ensures it won't play to much of an audience (hence why it's likely being released as a day-and-date title).

Barbarian just went on sale today, a day early.

 

I have now been informed that The Woman King and See How They Run will both be on sale starting Sep 9 (Run might actually be earlier on 9/2, but unlikely).
