Just forgot to copy-n-paste the updated table before I posted; fixed.  Thanks for the catch.

(this is one of the downside to juggling so many updates at once)

Insidious 5 MiniTC2

Previews -  10279/24415 (115 showings) $117,985

Absolutely ridiculous final day. They started the day with less than 100 shows and ended up adding nearly 20 shows during the day. MiniTC2 had better sales than other regions (suggesting $3.5M ish previews), so I was expecting that others will end up converging with me in the end but MiniTC2 went even higher. Beaten Scream 6 & Halloween Ends here. It is over-indexing but not sure how much.

Normally would be $5.5-6M previews with these numbers, some horror titles over-indexes, if it does to that degree, should still be around $4.75-5M!!!!

Mostly $4M+ previews, probably around $4.5M.

12 year old horror franchise about to beat up 50 year old adventure franchise.

Geez - these are $2.4M, $3.5M and $6M preview grosses in this show volume range! Can understand some initial hesitation, wanting to see if online hype translated to real sales, but that's clearly happened - and hasn't stopped! - plus wanting to see how Indy 5 and MI7 did first. But at some point theaters/film bookers are going to wise up and start adding more shows ... right?

 

In fairness, that weekend should be the busiest of the entire year, like Thor's early July weekend was last year, and Barbie has to share with Oppy opening at the same time, who has the PLF screens and also a lower show count. But still ...

 

If you have it, what was ATSV's preview show count at T-14? Because there was definitely some under-booking/lack of capacity there too

I was on break during that whole run unfortunately.  I've got basically everything else for the past two years though if there is another you can think of.  I'm sure they are still waiting to see how to distribute screens between the two.  Could easily go ahead and add another screen for each at most places though with how well they are doing.

Hmm - maybe Minions? That was definitely another surprise massive opening, and didn’t have ticket sales to indicate it was coming to that level 

[MightyDargon]

Barbie doing a massive opening would not be a surprise at this point. Maybe Oppenheimer would?

Minions 2 - 17,719 (2,447)

 

It had 2,631 3D showings included in that total as well.  It ended with 24,533 preview shows.

 

Secrets of Dumbledore -> 18,607 final

Shazam 2 -> missed final

Elemental -> 13,089 final

Spider-Verse 2 -> 24,581 final

 

I'd expect this ends up in the 20k range with still having to split with Oppenheimer

Better.

 

Much much better.

 

I have no idea what happened yesterday.  Maybe the review bounce took an extra day to filter out?  Sun/Mon/Tue release vs Thr release throwing off the pattern? Just one of those things of Random Variation Is Random? I don't even fucking know.  Do know this was a much better day.

 

Sunday shows are starting to pick up as well.  The two main wrinkles here are:

 

1] Comparing a T-5 Sat with a T-5 Thr.

and

2] The Sunday tickets are starting their ramp-up, meaning the early EA bounce is starting to be felt.

 

Still, even with those cautionary notes, I'd say this is a good sign for the final days of pre-sales.

Behaving exactly like a Mission would and does. all is good.

Disclaimer: this run was taken much later than normal, but this is an excellent sign for walkups!

Insidious 5

Fri: 2,899/14,188 (+1,400)

Sat: 1,031/13,450 (+425)

Sun: 247/13,797 (+74)

 

I would normally give Fri adjusted comps, but the adjustment will be off due to the late run yesterday.  Straight comps are very high, but it seems to be performing very well here.

 

Friday straight comps

 - Nope - 1.564x (20.56m)

 - Black Phone - 1.88x (13.61m)

 

Not sure what to expect based on these, but I have ~11m penciled in for true Friday.

Barbie doing a massive opening would not be a surprise at this point. Maybe Oppenheimer would?

Nah, sales for Oppenheimer also strong. 
 

Still think 50M is happening which is massive for this type of movie especially after pandemic

Insidious 5 MiniTC2

Previews -  10279/24415 (115 showings) $117,985

Absolutely ridiculous final day. They started the day with less than 100 shows and ended up adding nearly 20 shows during the day. MiniTC2 had better sales than other regions (suggesting $3.5M ish previews), so I was expecting that others will end up converging with me in the end but MiniTC2 went even higher. Beaten Scream 6 & Halloween Ends here. It is over-indexing but not sure how much.

Normally would be $5.5-6M previews with these numbers, some horror titles over-indexes, if it does to that degree, should still be around $4.75-5M!!!!

Mostly $4M+ previews, probably around $4.5M.

So $5M Indeed.
