Someone said they went on sale today. Oh well. I guess it's still a little early.

 

They were supposed to, then about a week ago Sony pulled it. Now we're thinking January 7th.

Yeah this pretty much sums up minus the part that ticket prices in India are really too high and are basically filling coffers of these stars. So fuck these stars & I hope all states in India regulate prices to max ₹100 ($1.4).

 

That $ number look low, but in US you have tickets almost par what you make with one hour of work in lowest paying work, in India, ₹200 is almost what you will make for that work in full day.

Simon Kinberg didn't want his shitty new film to be beat by an Indian film and paid off RRR's producers and distributors to move it.

[BestPicturePlutoNash]

Yeah, I don't think 355 will make more than 2million lol. 

 

Rhythm Section opened to 2.7m in Jan 2020 and that was pre-pandemic in 3000 theaters.

I just realized that The 355 could open to $3M and still possibly be the #3 movie of the weekend due to the overall dire state of the box office outside of two movies. The lower half of the top 10 is gonna be ugly each week for a while even if everything develops Greatest Showman-esque insane holds.

This is the marketplace right now. Complete rejection of everything that isn't a super blockbuster.

You say that now but wait until Redeeming Love opens to bigger numbers than Morbius!

But in this scenario, The 355 will have to open to 3M which feels like a longshot right now

Interesting site but with results like that I'm not sure it's very useful for anything tangible (like box office). 

[filmlover]

That list also doesn't seem like it'll be of much help when some of the movies on it (Hotel Transylvania 4, Hocus Pocus 2) aren't coming to theaters at all.

[Menor the Destroyer]

Quorum has been posting stuff on Reddit for a few months. Their data is nice to see, but like all of this type of awareness/interest tracking, it's super noisy and hard to predict from.

The 355, counted today at 9am EST for Friday:
 

NY (AMC Fresh Meadows 7): 23 (4 showtimes)
Miami (AMC Sunset Place 24): 9 (5 showtimes)
Grand Rapids (AMC Grand Rapids 18): 1 (2 showtimes)
Austin (AMC Lakeline 9): 0 (1 showtime)
Tempe/Phoenix (AMC Centerpoint 11): 2 (2 showtimes)
San Francisco (AMC Metreon 16): 41 (8 showtimes)
LA (AMC Universal): 11 (3 showtimes)

Total tickets sold in 7 theaters: 87.

Comps: The Rhythm Section (2.7M OW) had on Wednesday of its release week 104 sold tickets in 7 theaters

and The Protege (2.9M OW) had on Monday of its release week 32 sold tickets in 6 theaters.

For Thursday it had today 118 sold tickets (also in 7 theaters). Which is better than what I expected.
Overall not stellar numbers of course but also not terrible. If it (halfway) stays on track I think it will do at least more than 3M OW.
 

Scream, counted today at 9am EST for Thursday, Jan 13 (10 days to go):
 

NY (AMC Fresh Meadows 7): 60 (2 showtimes)
Miami (AMC Sunset Place 24): 83 (2 showtimes)
Grand Rapids (AMC Grand Rapids 18): 18 (1 showtime)
Austin (AMC Lakeline 9): 4 (1 showtime)
Tempe/Phoenix (AMC Centerpoint 11): 30 (2 showtimes)
San Francisco (AMC Metreon 16): 106 (3 showtimes)
LA (AMC Universal): 295 (9 showtimes)

Total tickets sold in 7 theaters: 596.

Comps: The Forever Purge had on Thursday for Thursday (= 0 days left) 241 sold tickets,
Halloween Kills had 9 days before 315 sold tickets for Thursday

and AQP II had also 9 days before 402 sold tickets for Thursday.

Scream, counted today at 9am EST for Friday, Jan 14 (11 days to go):
 

NY (AMC Fresh Meadows 7): 61 (5 showtimes)
Miami (AMC Sunset Place 24): 34 (5 showtimes)
Grand Rapids (AMC Grand Rapids 18): 15 (2 showtimes)
Austin (AMC Lakeline 9): 0 (1 showtime)
Tempe/Phoenix (AMC Centerpoint 11): 4 (3 showtimes)
San Francisco (AMC Metreon 16): 51 (8 showtimes)
LA (AMC Universal): 88 (4 showtimes)

Total tickets sold in 7 theaters: 253.

Comp: Halloween Kills had 10 days before 353 sold tickets for Friday
and The Conjuring 3 had also 11 days before 241 sold tickets for Friday.
 

Overall still no complaints here, especially the Thursday number is already pretty good. The only „problem“ is that Scream soon needs the same decent jumps as my comparison films above: HK, AQP II and The Conjuring 3.
