The Box Office Buzz, Tracking, and Pre-Sale Thread

Don't know if this means anything or helps add perspective but here's how Oppenheimer and Barbie sales look as compared to MI7, opening 10 days earlier, in each tracking sample (ratio as compared to MI7)

 

 

With Drafthouse, where lack of PLF (so no EA for MI7) lowers the baseline, but has merch for Barbie and is generally going nuts for it

 

Updating this chart, but focusing on just the Barbie and Oppenheimer duel, and the relative ratio of sales in each market, at T-27 vs a week later at T-20 (last round of updates). Do not have a recent Alpha or MiniTC update (CC @across the Jat verse), but in every single market, Barbie - despite shooting out of the gate with a later sales start and with minimal PLF shows that normally gobble up early sales - continues to outpace Oppenheimer in sales, even in samples where it was already way ahead like Drafthouse and Orlando.

 

 

Somebody is going to have to convince me why Barbie* won't at least double Oppenheimer's preview and OW, and even though I'm lower on Opp than others (still sub-$50M), a $100M+ is very much in play

 

*We need a nickname for this film, like Pink Panther (or something better)

Barbara is not stopping and will be the movie you have to seen cause everyone will talk about it. Most men sadly won't go even if they would like It (fragile masculinity in public it's still strong) but Barbara still coming for 130M.

I'm not gonna convince b/c I think Barbie will be higher, but as for double the previews being certain RIGHT NOW:)...

 

1. ATP difference - Nolan should be $4-5 higher ATP, I think, since Barbie has almost no PLF and more kids, so double the seats won't equal double the take

2. Seat limited - until final sets, we don't know if we're looking at a Spidey situation, where it's under-set (and then keeps getting more and more seats every day of the weekend), or if it will get the full amount of seats it can likely sell.  So, if it's under-set, it makes it even harder to go double the gross

 

Then again, Nolan doesn't have an EA day, right?  And that Wednesday PLF Barbie number should be huge b/c it's about the only certain widespread PLF right now.  So, maybe I'll go back and talk myself into double:)...just maybe not yet today:).

I can only speak for my area (southern Ontario, through Cineplex), but the Barbie EA is not in plf theatres. In fact, it's in some of the smaller auditoriums. They're VIP theatres, with reclining seats and such, so there's some price premium, but, it's not the Dolby theatre or IMAX premiums.

 

And the smaller auditoriums seem designed to build scarcity, which seems to have worked, as most are sold out, less the accessibility seating.

You  know what would be the best outcome for the Box Office in July?  Barbie blows up because it brings in every female of every Demo. So what do the Dads, Sons, and Brothers do while the  Mom's  Daughters, and Sisters are seeing it?  They go see MI or Oppenheimer.and maybe still Indy.  And since there  will be women that see those movies and Men who see Barbie everybody wins. Pre 2020 I would 100% be confident that would happen. Fingers crossed that happens and from July 12 on will be a fun time to follow Box Office.  Much funner than the dirge it is right now.

Insidious: The Red Door counted yesterday for next Thursday:

NY (AMC Fresh Meadows 7): 64 (4 showtimes)
Miami (AMC Sunset Place 24): 23 (3 showtimes)
Grand Rapids (AMC Grand Rapids 18): 3 (2 showtimes)
Austin (AMC Lakeline 9): 1 (4 showtimes)
Tempe/Phoenix (AMC Centerpoint 11): 24 (3 showtimes)
San Francisco (AMC Metreon 16): 33 (3 showtimes)
LA (AMC Universal): 183 (3 showtimes)

Total tickets sold in 7 theaters: 331.

Up 27% since Wednesday = in 2 days.
Comps (all films counted on Monday of the release week which means Insidious has 3 days left): The Invitation (775k from previews) had 96 sold tickets,
Prey for the Devil (660k) 115,
Halloween Kills (4.85M) 591,
Barbarian (850k) 156,
Smile (2M) 213

and M3gan (2.75M) had 274 sold tickets.
The Boogeyman (?k) had on Sunday (= Insidious has 2 days left) 74 sold tickets.
The Conjuring 3 (day and date release, no Thursday previews, good jump till Monday of the release week) had on Thursday before the release week 344 sold tickets for Friday.
And A Quiet Place 2 (4.8M) had also on Thursday before the release week for Thursday 495 sold tickets.

Hopefully Insidious has nice jumps in its last week but so far it looks good.

Haunted Mansion tickets have been on sale since Tuesday at my local theater - for context I live in Southern Ontario, Canada and in a smaller city then something like Toronto but still decently sized - so I checked up on it just to be safe.

 

0 tickets sold according the board.

 

Oof.

Agree on the PLF/ATP factor, and to clarify I did mean double the gross, not just sales. And didn't say it was certain, only that I would need an explanation as to why it wasn't likely at this point

Here's the growth rate over the last week for these markets (listed from highest sales volume to lowest)

 

SAMPLE = Barbie / Oppy

• Drafthouse = +34.2% / +25.3%
• Orlando = +36.2% / +12.6%
• Denver = +40.4% / +16.9%
• Emagine = +41.5% / +33.5%
• Sacto = +66.2% / +17.4%
• J/P/R = +50.1% / +28.2%

I haven't fully pulled and started to delve into numbers (usually don't until T-21), and Barbie started later so hasn't hit the bottom of the U-curve yet, but still ...

 

Do also agree a limiting factor for Barbie could be capacity, not enough shows and seats - particularly in the bigger markets where it should overindex - but that may be the only thing that holds it back by the time we get to the final week, but the EA run should help clear up some room for Thursday

Do you think there is a chance of Barbie overindexing a bit in Sacramento market due to Greta factor ?

Not really, no. 

 

Just don't think that's a real factor at the end of the day.

I did a search for southern Ontario earlier today, and that's the same across the entire region. 7 tickets sold from London to Clarington for the Thursday.

I did a search for southern Ontario earlier today, and that's the same across the entire region. 7 tickets sold from London to Clarington for the Thursday.

Just a general glance at Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal-pretty much the same-very limited theatres even offering the presales, and those that are right now not much sales. It is almost a month away, so things can change, but right now pretty muted.

Updating this chart, but focusing on just the Barbie and Oppenheimer duel, and the relative ratio of sales in each market, at T-27 vs a week later at T-20 (last round of updates). Do not have a recent Alpha or MiniTC update (CC @across the Jat verse), but in every single market, Barbie - despite shooting out of the gate with a later sales start and with minimal PLF shows that normally gobble up early sales - continues to outpace Oppenheimer in sales, even in samples where it was already way ahead like Drafthouse and Orlando.

 

 

Somebody is going to have to convince me why Barbie* won't at least double Oppenheimer's preview and OW, and even though I'm lower on Opp than others (still sub-$50M), a $100M+ is very much in play

 

*We need a nickname for this film, like Pink Panther (or something better)

I’m personally really high on Oppenheimer ($9M previews, 7.78x IM) but even I can admit Barbie is blowing it out of the water lmao. $120M Barbie, $70M Oppenheimer

Barbie absolutely smashing it in presales in the UK. Tickets have been on sale for just over a week. Oppenheimer went on sale yesterday. Very strong in IMAX as expected but tickets are also starting to shift well where no IMAX option is available. Will see where they both are by the end of the week.
