I wouldn't say that... it did sell less than yesterday but it's a holiday weekend, so I wouldn't try to take too much from the pace. Also, keep in mind that Black Adam tickets were only on sale for 3 days at this point vs Flash's 5 days, so that comp will fall.

[charlie Jatinder]

TLM previews will be $10.3M in fact I think could be just $10M.

 

Canada mere $375k previews.

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

Milton, Ontario

Across the Spiderverse Thursday Previews 

 

T-8

Tickets sold is 100 even. Sales have been remarkably steady since it launched. 

 

Comps at T-8 are limited for me, but this is what I have.

 

8.33x Fast X for $63.3M

5.55x Little Mermaid for ???

 

Obviously, not helpful comps, but, does signal that this movie is doing well.

 

Bizarrely, it only is on one screen, and they didn't add more showtimes when they released this coming week. They're locked into a lot of films though, so the only way they can get a second screen for the weekend is taking it away from TLM, which based on performance thus far, would make sense, but, they might be locked into a Disney contract for that second screen.

 

T-4 Thursday Update for Across the Spiderverse for Milton, Ontario

 

It continues to outpace the comps I have, spitting out ridiculous numbers

 

TLM - $49.4M

Fast X - $35.6M

 

Not too helpful. But, I did track GOTG3 at T-1. ATS is already at 77.5% of that number. And eyeballing the pace, I imagine it'll catch it before Wednesday night.

Yeah I realize I haven't posted updates much. I have been tracking this stuff every day, but I have been so busy with modding and work and personal stuff that it's hard to remember to post this stuff. Especially since even tracking two movies takes a good chunk out of my day. By the time I'm done with work, I have to move immediately to tracking movies.

 

This is basically a long-winded way of me saying that after The Flash is done, I'm taking a hiatus from tracking Philly. It's just becoming more and more of a chore lately and I need some time away from it for a while.

Thank you @Prince Eric, I always thought tracking so many days was too much. Maybe you guys can reduce the number of days? What matters is mostly the final week.

[el sid]

The Boogeyman had yesterday for Thursday, June 1 (4 days left) 74 sold tickets with showtimes in 6 theaters.
Comps (all counted on Monday of the release week for Thursday = The Boogeyman has 1 day left): Smile had 213 sold tickets,
Prey for the Devil had 115,
M3gan had 274
and The Invitation had 96 sold tickets

And for Friday, June 2 (5 days left) it had yesterday 80 sold tickets (in 6 theaters).
Comps (again all counted on Monday of the release week for Friday): Smile had 229 sold tickets,
Prey for the Devil had 149,
M3gan had 247
and The Invitation had 87 sold tickets.
 

Better but still a bit muted. And when I checked the sales today, there were almost no changes, probably due to the long weekend.
Its jumps till tomorrow or at the latest Wednesday will be more meaningful.

For the record, here would be the benchmarks for SV to keep on the JWD pace for this week

• T-4 = 125-130K (holiday may hold this number lower)
• T-2 = 160-165K
• T-F = 310-315K

Spider-man across the Spiderverse Previews

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

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

Just a smidge below the expected range, though not unexpected. Between holiday and impending Tuesday/T-mobile deal, pace may be a little difficult to nail down until right at the end, but all indications are that Spider-Verse will finish ahead of GOTG3/AMWQ final sales total at Alpha - just a question of by how much, which would suggest an $18M+ preview (with a standard ~$57/tix PSM)

 

With that said, some of the individual markets - like Sacto and Denver - while still pacing very well, suggest a lower preview value ... and we just got burned a bit by Little Mermaid overindexing at bigger chains and markets, so don't want to gloss over those. It does appear as though we're heading towards an atypical market distribution for this release, but unclear whether it basically balances out, or like LM means there is weakness in lower and mid-tier regions that drags the total down a bit, or even overindexes enough in some areas (presumably Sun Belt) and actually goes higher

 

Comps I'm mostly looking at: Black Adam and Fast X, which are both in similar range for pace, but also are somewhat representative of the high and low end of how the market distribution could go [would highly recommend adding those to comp list if not already including]
