and Uncharted (3.7M) had 868 sold tickets (with rather modest jumps).

Dungeons & Dragons, counted today for Friday:

Total tickets sold in 7 theaters: 644.

Comps (all films counted on Monday of the release week for Friday): Snake Eyes (13.4M OW) had 272 sold tickets,
The Lost City (30.5M) had 196
and Uncharted (44M) had 715 sold tickets.

A bit uneven from the comps so far but for sure better than what I expected. Would also go with 35M+ at the moment.

 

Let's go with 40M!

[TwoMisfits]

Finals sets done at my locals - 3 screens and 1.75 screens for DnD - so a little more and a little less than Shazam 2 (which ends up in total more than Shazam 2 across the 2 theaters), but less than Creed 3 and John Wick 4 overall...

 

I've got a doc's appointment, so I'll fill in the rest of the holdovers later...

Mario MTC1 OD - 71854/873515 1190567.80 4398 shows.

 

9 more days of Presales left. Let us see how far it can go. 

 

Mario MTC1 midnights - 2826/24381 65785.42 115 shows

Mario MTC2 midnights - 2689/16698 40101.00 108 shows

Mario MTC1 OD - 76056/871539 1254790.40 4402 shows

Mario MTC2 OD -  65615/799720 785704.25 4957 shows

 

It does have few midnight shows but may not make much of a difference. But that OD sales are really strong across both the chains.

Definitely weaker than MTC1 but has burned off demand due to all the early shows. Still think it can do Shazam 2 previews for just thursday.

40M for DnD would be great given every circumstance and our (non)-expectations for it a few months ago.

[keysersoze123]

I am not 100% sure on 40m. It all depends on walkups. We have to wait and see how things go this thu/fri. but floor is low mid 30s at this point.

4th $5 TMobile ticket deal coming.  I THINK this will be the least effective, then again, folks may want to watch 2 movies over Easter, what do I know...

 

But, AIR will be getting the $5 any ticket (including PLF, if it gets any) Atom/Tmobile deal next Tuesday.  I can't see this one working as well as the prior 3 b/c there is something HUGE opening against it AND I don't know that this movie will have a lot of "fence sitters" (or even any interest, like Plane dug up).  That said, it can't hurt, and will go into the "more info on how much this helps OW and legs b/c of WOM push" category.

 

For the record, the 2023 movies that have opened with this exact $5 deal are Plane, Creed 3, and John Wick 4.  This is probably closest to Plane, BUT again, this opens against Mario, so I expect even less bump...

Okay, rather than fill in, I'll quote...

 

1st local:

 

DnD - 3 screens

JW3 - 4 screens (12 showings)

Shazam - 1 screen

Scream 6 - 1 screen

Creed 3 - 1 screen

Ant Man - 1 screen

Jesus (still here ) - 1 screen

Puss - 1 showing - has had 1 showing now for 3 weeks straight - earliest of the day

Foreign films - 1.5 screens

 

65, Cocaine Bear, and EEAAO dropped

 

2nd local

 

DnD - 1.75 screens

JW3 - 3 screens (9 showings)

Shazam - 1 screen

Scream 6 - 1 screen

Creed 3 - 1 screen

65 - 1 screen

Ant Man - 1 screen

Foreign Films - 2.25 screens

 

Cocaine Bear, Jesus, and Puss (finally) dropped

 

Seems like the decision was made to spread the iffy holdovers (Jesus, 65, Puss) across the 2 theaters before dropping for Mario/Air on Wednesday...

So $5-6M for total previews (I'm not sure how well Sunday and Wednesday previews sold)

Strong 24 hours of presales. Lots of new showings added at Disney Springs AMC 

 

COMPS:

JOHN WICK 4 - (0.2977x) $2.6M THUR

SCREAM VI - (0.801x) $4.6M THUR 

 

So $3M-$5M Thursday 

 

Assuming $1M from Amazon Previews and Wednesday showings...I would say $4M-$6M all previews and ~$35M-$45M OW

Dungeons & Dragons, counted today for Thursday:

NY (AMC Fresh Meadows 7): 94 (6 showtimes)
Miami (AMC Sunset Place 24): 85 (8 showtimes)
Grand Rapids (AMC Grand Rapids 18): 53 (2 showtimes)
Austin (AMC Lakeline 9): 33 (2 showtimes)
Tempe/Phoenix (AMC Centerpoint 11): 49 (3 showtimes)
San Francisco (AMC Metreon 16): 252 (10 showtimes)
LA (AMC Universal): 254 (10 showtimes)

Total tickets sold in 7 theaters: 820.

Up modest 13% since yesterday.
Comps (both films counted on Wednesday of the release week for Thursday because I have no good Tuesday comps so D&D had 1 day left): The Lost City (2.5M from previews) had 520 sold tickets
and Uncharted (3.7M) had 1.062 sold tickets.
Jurassic World: Dominion (18M) had also on Tuesday of the release week 3.483 sold tickets.

Dungeons & Dragons, counted today for Friday:

NY (AMC Fresh Meadows 7): 161 (8 showtimes)
Miami (AMC Sunset Place 24): 78 (9 showtimes)
Grand Rapids (AMC Grand Rapids 18): 68 (3 showtimes)
Austin (AMC Lakeline 9): 32 (3 showtimes)
Tempe/Phoenix (AMC Centerpoint 11): 33 (8 showtimes)
San Francisco (AMC Metreon 16): 212 (11 showtimes)
LA (AMC Universal): 174 (13 showtimes)

Total tickets sold in 7 theaters: 758.

Up ok 18% since yesterday.
Comps (all three films counted on Wednesday of the release week for Friday which means D&D has 1 day left): Snake Eyes (13.4M OW) had 590 sold tickets (but no big jump till Thursday),
The Lost City (30.5M) had 519
and Uncharted (44M) had 982 sold tickets. D&D could reach that number by tomorrow but I guess it will stay a little bit below.

Still very acceptable numbers but the jumps should become bigger (which normally happens, the Tuesday jumps in my theaters are always pretty small).

[DAJK]

Hmmm… I might hop off the 40M train for D&D and settle for 35. Pre-sales nationwide don’t look strong enough to justify 40. Locally, that’s another story as it’s a beast here. But oh well, let’s hope it has legs and strong OS.

I agree. It will probably be closer to $35M than $45M
