Ghostbusters would probably be doing better if Dune 2 wasn't still playing. It's hype got shot in the head once the LISAN AL GHAIB train started rolling.

I believe I mentioned this before, but I personally think it's suffering from "middle child" syndrome as well, as while it isn't in the exact same demos as Dune: Part Two, Kung Fu Panda 4 or Godzilla x Kong, it crosses over with parts of all of them.  And with all three films getting varying levels of attention/hype/anticipation, the "middle child" is the one that is getting overlooked.

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.

What's there to say that the comps above don't?  Did pretty badly locally.  Won't even call it a saving grace because, lol it certainly isn't, but I note that the average of BOSS/Wonka/Aqua 2 is... 4.23m.  Which is actually pretty funny given my post I made earlier today about 4.25m being my target/expectation.

 

Anyway, I won't quite say it's "free falling" here locally.  Will say that here in Sacramento, we respect Tomato Law*.

It finally had a big increase. 50% jump on final day. It gained across all comps, but it might be too little too late. It's still lagging even under indexed comps here like Wonka.

 

One thing I keep going back to is that one of the theatres in my sample is one of only two IMAX screens in the region that has this playing for evening shows, and IMAX sales are doing worse than average on a per showtime basis. I know it's not marketed as IMAX, but still, it shows that there isn't a demand for this in the biggest formats.

 

Overall though, it's hard to really rrad my results and get any gauge on overall performance. It's a clear outlier at the moment. I won't be doing an update  later today formally, but I'll try to check in to see if walk ins are happening.

[TwoMisfits]

So, this month's movies have added more deals on Fandango - Ghostbusters one won't matter (b/c TMobile's is WAY better) but Godzilla's might...

 

Ghostbusters - $5 off 1 ticket

Godzilla - Buy 2, Get 1 Free - up to $15 off (would have way more effect as a BOGO, but this IS a national, publicized deal)

 

Godzilla will NOT have a TMobile deal.

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.

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.

Alright, a couple of things to note.  I finally added an inflation adjustment to all my comps.  I used the annual ATP reported by the MPAA and adjusted to the current ATP of $10.78.  It's probably going to be higher this year, but that won't be published until next year.  It's a start.   Second thing - I switched from Total (Preview + EA) comps to just preview, so a lot of the comps increased.  I think this makes the pace table much more relevant since EA days skew sales jumps.  As you can see, pace has been pretty in line with a lot of the comps.  With one update left I'll leave my prediction at 4.25m

A little surprised with how well it's doing here.  Gives me hope that it can actually reach 4.5m.  

I will note that this chain does seem to have bigger swings for certain types of movies.  I could see this being one that it comes in high on

not as good as what I expected with Tmobile deal.

At MTC1 it should end up selling more tickets than afterlife. Plus the movie did very well in MTC2. Let us see how walkups go. Thinking in 4.25-4.5m range and high 30's OW at this point.

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

Friday for day before was run really late and so its couple of hours less. But still no sign of a major acceleration. That will happen only next week I think.

Eyeballing my two local joints, the all-standard screen Cinemark has sold 37 tickets for today’s GBFE previews so far. For this theater that’s actually a decent number. Sales at the Emagine up the road are much brisker. About 170 tix sold so far, roughly 120 of which are PLF.

Not too bad 41 days out. Still feel like this is a movie that will not explode until  final week when the casuals/GA make their decisions.
