If KotFM turns out profitable after the massive overperformance of Oppenheimer, we would only need Napoleon to overperform too and we could start seeying some serious change in Hollywood business the next couple of years.

if meme culture correlate to BO, then KOTM should be safe already. Leo is definitely one of the meme icon on the internet, combined with the cinephile force. That is formula to give us a Oscar blockbuster.

I hope for $2m but still tricky to say right now. Ad Astra might be a good target but lacking "starpower."

One location has a glitch, so I can't pull ths number. I had to play with the numbers tp land an estimate that's potentially undercounting. But, nothing surprising with numbers at this point.

 

I'll be travelling for work this week, so won't be able to pull numbers for a day or so.

 

Edit: holdout theatre back online. Numbers updated.

 

I also managed to pull data on other tracks this morning, but will only post them later today if I get the chance.

 

Taylor Swift Eras Tour, Opening Friday,southern Ontario, T-17 (early evening pull)

 

Total sales:  16,974

New Sales: 473

Growth from yesterday 2.9%

Matinee Sales on Hold: 5736 across 119 showtimes 

Theatre Count:  50

This is a fun update. Lots of important changes.

 

First off, this is a day and a half update, with the international release announcement having a measurable impact on sales.

 

I've seen a lot of numbers move that have been static for a while. For example, an 11:00 pm show was added last week for a single theatre, that did not have a single ticket sold. It's up to 13. The announcement certainly served as an awareness event.

 

However, it's not the only key event.

 

One theatre has seemingly added back two matinee showings. This represents 119 of the sales, or 0.7% of the 2.9% growth.

 

It's unclear if it was an accident, or a sign that the rest will be re-added soon. I'd guess the former, but not ruling out the latter. The longer this has stretched out, the less I can see either Cineplex or Taylor Swift's camp wanting the press of high volume of cancelled tickets. I'll check tomorrow, as these changes often happen overnight. I should see if others have added it or not.

 

I'm too backlogged to do a Saturday pull, but general lack of capacity on Friday makes me suspect that Saturday has probably absorbed the bulk of the demand. Even though there are still good showings with seats, most people aren't looking that hard and if will just look to Saturday if there's nothing close to them for Friday.

Mostly keeping track with comps.

 

Paw Patrol: The Mighty Movie (T-4):

Totals: 17 theaters	82	378	869	11788	7.37

 

Comp:

2.81x Haunted Mansion (w/ EA): $8.72 Milion

 

@Porthos point about ATP cannot be overstated; waaaaayyyyy more children's tickets will be sold than most releases. These are still fantastic numbers though.

 

Minneapolis-St. Paul Area Previews:

 

Saw X (T-2):

Day: T-2	Shows	New Seats	Sold	Seats	% Sold
Totals: 20 theaters	47	71	245	7082	3.46

 

Comps:

1.15x The Nun II: $3.57 Million

0.78x Insidious Red Door: $3.89 Million

1.28x Talk To Me (w/ EA): $1.6 Million 

2.38x Last Voyage of Demeter: $1.78 Million

 

This is when Insidious really started to take off; I imagine this will converge somewhere in the high-2s, lower 3s.

 

The Creator (T-2):

Day: T-2, T-1	Shows	New	Sold	Seats	% Sold
Thursday: 19 theaters	51	73	364	8551	4.26

TOTALS:	53	83	424	9137	4.64

 

Comps:

1x Haunted Mansion (w/ EA): $3.12 Million

1.01x Blue Beetle (comped with just Thursday): $3.35 Million

1.88x Haunting in Venice (w/ EA): $2.25 Million

 

Disney's marketing blitz might just be working, these are solid numbers; rose against all comps.

 

Didn't have time to pull Paw Patrol numbers today, teaching and coaching taking up some time  have an away game tomorrow so I hope to be able to pull final numbers for both of these releases.

Can you do MTC breakdown as well. I am optimistic it will do great in all red belt states and wont be as much coast driven. That is why @Porthos numbers are not as good as yours.

Feels like the November movies (Marvels, Wish, Hunger games) need the strike to end much more than the October movies (Eras, KOTFM)

Eras for sure. KOTFM... I think could seriously benefit from having Leo and Marty out there.

That's good for The Creator. My movie of choice for the weekend. Not a horror person and I am not 3 years old nor do I have a 3 year old so the other two do nothing for me.
