Scream did 2.46M on Friday and is projected to do 11.7M on weekend

Why would it have a 4.75x multiplier? Lol.

 

A good number for Scream 6 and amazing that it’s managed to pass Scream 5. 
 

Tragic for Shazam 2. Good for John Wick, if not as big as tracking indicated.

Shazams run is so bad that it isnt even funny anymore. Its just sad.

Lionsgate’s John Wick: Chapter 4 received its best grade ever from audiences with a solid A CinemaScore and 5 Stars on Comscore/Screen Engine’s PostTrak and grosses held largely steady over Friday night with $29.4M, still the best opening day for the franchise on its way to a series record $70.6M debut. Imax and PLFs are driving 38% of ticket sales here. In regards to admissions, EntTelligence reports that over a third of the pic’s foot traffic has been in Imax, PLF and 4DX locations. At a ratio that high, and as the box office comes back from the pandemic, we just need more of those auditoriums, no?

 

More great exits on John Wick: Chapter 4 show 93% on PostTrak, an 82% definite recommend, the latter which is higher than Jon Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum‘s 75% definite recommend.

 

The latest installment was 69% guy-leaning, 56% between 18-34 with 31% between 25-34, the latter the largest quad. Diversity demos strong across all sectors with 32% Caucasian (vs. Parbellum‘s 42%), 28% Latino and Hispanic (vs 22%), 19% Black (same as last film), & 21% Asian/other (vs. 14%).

 

Similar to Parabellum, guys over 25 were the biggest group, this time at a huge 48% (vs. part 3’s 45%), followed by women over 25 at 22% which tied with guys under 25 at the same ratio. Women under 25 didn’t care, showing up at 8%. For Parabellum, women over 25 clocked 29%, while males under 25 were at 18%. High grades from men under/over 25 and women over 25 at north of 93% for part 4.

 

The fourthquel played best in the West, South Central and South. The AMC Burbank was at the top of that list with Friday ticket sales of $94K. Yesterday alone, John Wick: Chapter 4 had 14 locations grossing well over $50K. Average ticket price for Chapter 4 per EntTelligence is $13.62. Walk-up business is solid with 59% of the audience buying their tickets the day they saw Chapter 4 per PostTrak. Fifty-five percent bought tickets because they love the franchise while 47% went because it stars Keanu Reeves.

 

After watching this 2 hour and 49 minute running movie, 26% of those polled by PostTrak say they’d see it again, while 54% say they’ll watch it again in the home market either through buying/renting DVDs or digitally.

Will Shazam even manage to outgross Cocaine Bear?

2.28M / CREED III

540K / JESUS REVOLUTION

410K / CHAMPIONS

316K / AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER

Too bad JW3 could land on the lower end of tracking but still a pretty strong debut overall - would not be surprised if sat jumps above expectations given the runtime though, let's see. INT numbers seem great.

 

And shazam is...I mean...a good candidate for worst run of the year for sure. that is just awful. I can definitely see sub 150M ww and an over 60% decline from the first. Terrible.

 

It'll likely be less domestically than 2019 Dark Phoenix.

 

It'll beat The Suicide Squad and Wonder Woman 1984 domestically, but neither internationally. Both of those dealing with HBO Max day and date releases.

 

Just a ridiculously bad performance.

So, women just didn't care to see JW3 - 69-31 breakdown is one of the more weighted ones we've seen lately (for comparison, Women King was 60-40 female)...especially at this high of a box office...it's not gonna be great for legs...

 

Although only 30% 25 and under, too...this almost played exactly like James Bond with just slightly more diversity...

 

Edit to Add: 80 for Brady is the last movie with an equal male/female rate in reverse (69/31 women) - which, funny enough, was also incredibly age skewed as well...

Looking at Friday numbers, I expect Jesus to actually top AntMan and Cocaine Bear b/c of its Sunday strength week after week (since Friday tends to always be on the weak side for that movie).

 

As for the #2 movie, I'm not sure Scream will hold off Shazam, but I guess we'll see Monday...2-4 is wide open as is 6-8...

great for levi, couldn't have happened to a nicer guy

[John Marston]

run time sadly is hurting JW4

[Flip]

Maybe John Wick has the same thing with Avatar where the Saturday and Sunday grosses are higher than normal due to the long runtime

[PlatnumRoyce]

Now for something completely different: Lionsgate's film chief made an interesting claim recently that "on a margin basis" a film like Plane is generating 10 points higher profit per level of box office gross than it would have in 2019.

Don't know, that's their prediction

[grey ghost]

Jeremy Jahns gave JW4 an awesometacular.

 

It's note worthy because he rarely gives those out any more.

Yikes. I didn't even think it was possible for it to have a bigger drop than Ant-Man 3.

The Bourne Ultimatum comp is making more and more sense here. I love being right.
