So...

 

Guardians has sold 430 seats for Wednesday "previews" in 40 showings.

I will be tracking all theaters from greater Salvador area (3rd/4th biggest city in Brazil) for the major releases that I have the time to track. Guardians will be my first data, but only a comp in future for T-7 and beyond.

Awesome! I tried to make scripts work in the past to track pre sales but lack of time always got in the way. Thank you very much for doing this! I will ask for your help in the future!

As of right now, I am tracking manually. Script will take a time to master and implement that I don't have right now, but I will try when I have the time. But actually counting manually is not that bad unless you track a huge amount of theaters, It took less than 1 hour for me and I am tracking 7 theaters from 3 different chains, so you might try that depending on how many theaters you are thinking to track. If you track Natal, I am sure it will be less than Salvador. I am just beggining doing this, but feel free to ask me anything.

I am interested to see how this will do over here. It's likely Brazil will be the biggest overseas market for this movie.

Ok, then I'll give it a shot counting sales from the wednesday previews of GotG3 on the 4 chains here.

 

T-5 Cinemark: 7 showings, 2091 seats, 55 sold (2.93%)

T-5 Cinepolis: 7 showings, 1289 seats, 154 sold (11.95%)

T-5 Moviecom: 4 showings, 536 seats, 44 sold (8.21%)

T-5 Cineflix: Not holding pre-sales.

T-5 Total: 3916 seats, 253 sold (6.46%)

 

Took me a long time since I tried counting every seat lol. Not gonna do this always or everyday, and I don't think Natal gives as well as a good picture as Salvador, but I guess once in a while might be fun to do, to have some data, right?

Of course it's good. As we have learned from the experts in the tracking thread, more data is always helpful, especially when we don't have any tracking data for here. I think with time and enough comps we could predict somewhat accurately things over here. 

 

Will post numbers from today later in the night.

So... first daily numbers are here. At least managing to track numbers daily in the final week for Guardians will be useful to compare how strong it finishes in the future comp with The Flash I suppose.

How about that, everyone improving and Cinemark going down lol. Guess I'll count these days left for Guardians to not leave things unfinished.

Due to being still uncharted territory, I don't know how pre-sales exactly behave here to analyze how good or bad pace is, but selling less tickets than yesterday is probably not a good sign given that we are just 4 days left.

I think you forgot to update the total sold numbers, Waluigi. But yeah, would be great if you could keep tracking it these last couple of days. 

[ThatWaluigiDude]

$2.6M for Mario this weekend, or R$13M+. It has crossed the R$100M mark.

 

EDIT: Sorry, on the week, not weekend. R$13M+ the last 7 days.

Bigger drop than I expected.

[Blaze Heatnix]

Any number for Knights of the Zodiac live action flick?

No numbers for Brazil in specific, but it made $2.4M this weekend. Japan should have done around $350k-400k, so I will assume most of the $2M left came from Brazil, unless it did better than expected in some other region.

So... again: not enough data to know how pre-sales behave here, but selling less for the second day in a row at this far in the run does not bodes well at all.

Obs: I have a feeling that reviews matter a lot less over here than it does domestic, so there is probably not a significant bump with it.

A bit fun that both your sample in Brazil and my sample in Mexico are actually following a decreasing trend. I think holidays are hurting instead of helping because they're allowing people to catch up with buzzy stuff like Mario or recent horror titles.

 

About reviews I think they're just not noisy enough -either in a good nor bad way- to raise awareness. And I don't know Brazil but embargo still going on here so we only have the US ones.

That actually do not surprise me at all. Brazil and Mexico are very similar in many aspects and movie tastes and moviegoing behaviors is probably one of them.

That is a good theory. We will see if that is the case based in the holds of those movies this weekend, but I can see that being a factor. I highly doubt that movies tend to not increase in sales close to the release.

Hm... I think I saw like one reaction from a brazilian youtuber that went to Cinemacon, but that is it.

Too tired to post it yesterday, but here it is. It strikes me as odd how Moviecom, despite being the smallest chain here, is sort of carring the new sales on its back. One premium screening on Cinepolis is half sold, late night screens are empty so far.

 

This friday pre-sales for Fast X starts.
