OPPENHEIMER OPENING DAY - T-6 DAYS

 

Title	Number of shows	Sold	Total Available	Growth from T-7	Occupancy
Oppenheimer	41	419	6604	22.87%	6.91%

 

Cool start going by limitations in shows due to the runtime. We'll see if it accelerates this weekend or it'll be more backloaded.

 

I'll keep IMAX numbers separated from these ones but still do updates.

 

1,856 / 3,652 - 50.82% occupancy

read somewhere that sound of freedom is out in Mexico

is it doing anything?

Is not

[Purple Minion]

$4.5M OW for the latest Mission Impossible, better than expected 75M lc 

[Purple Minion]

73.0M lc OW for DR1, falling short of beating Fallout as biggest opening for the M:I franchise. Will it be able to reach 200M lc because of the double whammy of Barbenhaimer this week?

$250M seems locked for Barbie unless something catastrophic happens.

 

$50M for Oppenheimer with IMAX shows filling up more and more. Above Dunkirk adjusted and maybe above Interstellar as well ($60M)

Oh, I see thanks. So how does it work in Mexico? Are thursdays included in the weekend?

Yes. They used to be accounted separately because 4-Day weekends used to be a thing only depending on the season or title but now everything all the time releases on Thursday.

 

Wednesday night previews are now what midnight shows used to be.

BARBIE OPENING DAY - T-6 DAYS

 

Title	Number of shows	Sold	Total Available	Growth from T-13	Occupancy	% of comp	Comp in lc
Barbie	105	12557	23117	20.09%	54.32%
Spiderverse	84	8692	19284	15%	45.07%	144.47%	$65.01M

BARBIE OPENING DAY - T-3 DAYS

 

Title	Number of shows	Sold	Total Available	Growth from T-6	Occupancy	% of comp	Comp in lc
Barbie	105	15226	23117	21.26%	65.86%
Spiderverse	84	9797	19284	12.71%	50.8%	155.41%	$69.93M

 

The comp is just getting bigger and bigger! Remaining shows should start to be added as soon as tonight but nearest locations to those among the sample are getting all the spillover already.

 

Matinee shows at VIP locations are pretty much done with PLFs looking to be at least to 50% full and traditional screenings doing great numbers as well.

 

Will wait for final allocation but this may be closer to Mario's TFSS than expected.

Title	Number of shows	Sold	Total Available	Growth from T-6	Occupancy	% of comp	Comp in lc
Oppenheimer	41	771	6604	84.01%	12.71%
Indiana Jones 5	60	323	11086	NA	2.91%	238.70%	$14.8M

 

Tricky comparison because itself because Barbenheimer is boosting numbers so I don't think it'll go as high but anyway magnificent prospect if pace holds and somewhat finishes around $10M for the day.

 

 OPPENHEIMER OPENING DAY - T-3 DAYS (IMAX ONLY)

 

Title	Number of shows	Sold	Total Available	Growth from T-6	Occupancy
Oppenheimer	12	2514	3652	35.45	68.84%

 

Incredible figure. I'll probably track some other IMAX locations to see how's behaving but feels like the overall weekend could add $6M-7M in the format alone.

Any numbers for full OW?

Not doing anything concrete until we hit final allocation. As I said earlier seems like $250M is locked. Could see a path for $350M which would be just hitting $20M USD but my current ceiling is at $320M

Cuernavaca is a city in the state of Morelos which is next to Mexico City. For several reasons people travel a lot between cities and because you gotta take highway to get to each other there's not really public transportation and instead you have to get a bus that doesn't make any stop and travels from a Grand Central to another.

 

These trips are so common and crowded that you can easily get a bus every 20-30 minutes so there's a saying that is "Como autobús a Cuernavaca" / "(Scheduled) Like a bus to Cuernavaca"

 

I'm seeing first full schedules for the weekend at some places and seems like Barbie is ruled by that saying.

 

As expected all Little Mermaid, Spiderverse and the few shows remaining for Guardians and Fast X are gone.

 

Flash and Transformers are still holding sharing one screen at complexes. 

 

Elemental taking a hit at smaller theaters having to share shows with either Barbie or Dead Reckoning but still surviving at bigger multiplexes (14+ screens)

 

Insidious and Dead Reckoning seem to be the better positioned with at least one screen per theater. 

 

Of course if Barbie shows strength is done for Flash/Transformers/Elemental and if Oppenheimer breaks out then is done for Insidious and Dead Reckoning.

 

VIP are looking to be devoted entirely to Barbenheimer with some shows for MI7 and Insidious.

I may take Friday data. Seeing insane sales at some theatres in the sample.

 

I've been thinking since April that Beauty and the Beast and Joker would be appropriate comps in terms of buzz and phenomenon. I think I should've been looking higher.

Which cities / CDMX areas do you scan? And which chain Cinepolis or Cinemex?

[Purple Minion]

Full Top 10. No Hard Feelings did actually 2M lc.

Less than 1M tickets sold for DR1, way below Fallout and Rogue Nation.
