Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire MTC1

Previews(T-2) - 42457/648689 717442.05 3505 shows

Friday - 38457/917971 630567.65 5130 shows

 

not as good as what I expected with Tmobile deal. 

 

Wow 

+10K for Friday looks really good.

 

BTW,

 

i) it has a post credit scene 👻

ii) first reactions are already coming out and they are fairly good. It seems that it’ll have a good WoM again (Afterlife has 94% audience score on RT). Most common criticism is that the third act feels a bit rushed. Although overall most common commentaries that I’m reading are like “it’s def made for the fans”.

Eh.

 

Not much movement at all from comps from yesterday.  For those curious:

 

0.85025x GBA at T-4        [4.33m] [adj'ed for ATP hikes since 2021]
0.62160x Sonic 2 at T-4    [3.89m]

1.18987x Wonka at T-4     [4.16m]
0.90968x Aqua 2 at T-4   [4.09m]

 

Wonka comp did move up a skosh, OTOH, the GBA comp went down a skosh. But also random noise can be random. 

 

All in all, no real movement to speak of.

 

Still, tomorrow is the real acid test.  'till then while I have opinions on where this is gunna land, at least for previews, I'm open to them being adjusted depending on just how well it does T and W.

Yeaaaaah...  Thazza...   That's not exactly the jump I was looking for here (+134 --> +223). Falling against GBA isn't a good sign at all.  Mind, BOSS and Wonka more or less stayed steady and Aquabro 2 rose a tic. On the other hand, RotB fell a tic.

 

Got a whoooole lot riding on reviews tomorrow, locally at least.  Might just be under-performing/late arriving crowd here.

 

ETA:::

 

commentary made before I saw the post from @keysersoze123.  Have to largely agree; was looking for a larger jump.  That it sold fewer tickets than GBA did on its Tmobile day locally (333 vs 223)?  Well... Like I said, whole lot riding on reviews/social media impressions.

After some thought while on my evening walk...

 

Assorted comps against recent sub 4m movies:

 

1.48702x Shazam 2 at T-2                  [5.05m]

1.10064x Haunted Mansion at T-2    [3.41m]

1.51893x Blue Beetle at T-2               [5.01m]

1.33815x Kung Fu Panda 4 at T-2      [5.08m]

 

So, yeah, there's a chance at 5m.  But it needs fairly strong walkups to do it.  See tomorrow which path is the most likely out of all the comps from the last two posts.

It keeps sinking. It's staying in single digit growth a few days out, despite a low baseline. 

 

This is shaping up to be one of the largest low end outliers for my market if numbers align to what others are seeing.

 It keeps on falling. One of the ugliest tracks I've done. It sold 10 tickets today, which is the best day its had in gross sales outside the 16 on opening day.

The decision to stop marketing Ghostbusters as comedies was a terrible idea. It kinda worked for Afterlife. This new one being treated as like a big blockbuster was a bad call.

While it's doing well, especially compared to Ghostbusters, it still continues to fall against comps. It got to such a hot start, so it's still comping well, but we'll need to see if and when this stabilizes. I thought Aquaman would have been a good comp for me due to similar sales period in this market, but it hasn't been a consistent comparison.

Or maybe it's time to accept that the first movie was lightning in a bottle, a proper phenom that not even its immediate follow-up was able to replicate, and it's not a franchise that has grown its fanbase, and no one beyond the most dedicated fans wanted more from it (and what they wanted was not what they got either in 2016 or with Afterlife). Some things are better off staying dead, as the ghostbusters themselves would attest.

[filmlover]

An opening over $40M for Ghostbusters would be impressive considering it comes out tomorrow and feels like no one is talking about it. Curious what the reviews look like later today.

True, but with a cast this stacked with comedians it should not be hard to make a decent comedy out of it. A good Ghostbusters sequel is possible but they just always double down on the wrong things

Another solid day, right on track with comps.  Pace is still looking good and should get even better with the T-Mobile deal coming.  Keep in mind that I don't include any ATP or inflation adjustments so all of my comps will likely undershoot.

I would be shocked if this made enough to get reported.  I'm only seeing this in around 300 US theaters so far, but after checking a couple of shows I decided to run it.  Already more tickets sold than Immaculate is impressive though!

Really good day with the deal going on.  First time that the size adjusted comp has been above 4m.  Keep in mind that I don't include any ATP or inflation adjustments so all of my comps will likely undershoot.  Still hoping 4.5m is in play but thinking 4.25m is more likely.

 

Immaculate T-1 comps

 - Night House - 2.5x (650k)

 - Men - .543x (230k)

 - Firestarter - .631x (236k)

 - Imaginary - .625x (453k)

 - X - .515x (226k)

 - Antlers - .959x (355k)

 - The Invitation - .667x (517k)

 - Infinity Pool - .89x

 

Size adjusted comps - 404k

 

Beat all of the comps yesterday and finally looking decent.  +367% over the last three days.  

 

Late Night with the Devil T-1 comps

 - Night House - 2.393x (622k)

 - Immaculate - .957x

 - Antlers - .918x (340k)

 - Prey for the Devil - .684x (451k)

 

Size adjusted comps - 436k

 

More than doubled it's total theaters from yesterday - not sure if that was planned or due to selling well.  I'm seeing ~650 theaters listed now (after only 300 yesterday).  If it keeps expanding this could challenge Immaculate for the weekend.

 

Luca (OD) T-2 comps

 - Ruby Gillman - .262x (190k)

 - Rons Gone Wrong - .889x (213k)

These Ghostbusters reviews are unlikely to persuade anyone who wasn’t already going. 
 

Rotten at 44%. 

[Minnale101]

Just saw ghostbusters reviews, doesn’t seem good, maybe it does sub 40 million now

New poster here...I'm "conversant" in speaking box office but not "fluent"...is there a resource or a pinned post explaining how to understand this pre sales data? I understand these numbers are comparing GxK pre-sales numbers vs these other pre-sales, and the T-8 means 8 days until domestic release? The Size adjusted comps = 6.86m means...estimated Thursday previews? Total pre-sales dollar amount? Forgive my newbie-ness

You've pretty much got it all there. Pretty much all comps are for previews unless stated otherwise

Hopefully the final surge begins and it finishes really strong. I am expecting good IM looking at Thursday/Friday ratios.

There's no centralized resource unfortunately. It gets hard as each tracker has some unique elements in their presentation. But, you're interpreting correctly in your assumptions above.

 

I think I speak for most trackers is that people don't mind if there's questions. We post here so other people can see the data. We want it to be as clear as possible.

 

Most tracking is done for the previews day. That's usually the most relevant, because then estimating weekend multipliers can help give a full weekend estimate. But sometimes people track Friday or other days (generally to help predict the multipliers) . Those will be labeled as such.
