On one hand, this doesn't sound true.

On the other, that's only about $200-$300k for each movie, so it could be true.

They should take the hint and begin with grindhouse-like screenings for these two. Just have to figure it out which one would be the 'main feature'...

Tremendous day of sales here, Monday EA expectedly strong, but Tuesday was even stronger. The Indiana Jones comp is likely ending at $9 million for just Tuesday. Clearly over performing here.

 

One thing to remember is the compressed calendar when it comes to week-of pre-sale buying.  We saw this last year with Love and Thunder where the TWTh sales were above normal thanks to the Monday 4th of July suppressing Sun and Mon numbers.  So it wouldn't surprise me to see an accelerated MT even though StSu were already above normal.  Especially if WOM kicks in from Sun/Mon showings.

 

Mind that Tue-only Indy 5 comp is nuts, but speaking more in generalities here.

Looks like $6M true Tuesday. With Sunday and EA added in $8.5M adjusted down to $8M

 

I will be at work tomorrow afternoon, so this is the last update.

 

Final note: okaish finish. Tuesday sales are weak. I think sales were ultimately weaker here because of all the attention to Barbie. On the bright side EA sales were great. (It sold ~50 seats in 10 minutes 6:50PM to 7:00PM which is a good sign of walkups for the weekend)

Surprised it's doing as well as it is given the lack of promotion.

If it's gonna do well anywhere, it'd be Orlando (even against a fellow Disney comp).

[TwoMisfits]

So, I mentioned my Cinemarks had not set, and one still has not set tomorrow, but one has...

 

With the MI7 open...at my non-PLF theater 12 for Wed/Thurs (no Friday sets yet)...

 

MI is getting 4 screens or 16 showings

Sound of Freedom increases from 1 screen last week to 2 screens this week and 9 showings

Indy is dropped to 1 screen/4 showings (from 3 screens last week)

Insidious keeps its 1 screen

Elemental keeps its 1 screen

Spidey keeps its 1 screen

Joy Ride is down to 1 showing total

Transformers gets 2 showings

Rudy Gillman gets 2 showings (so the 3 make up 1 screen)

The Flash gets 1 showing and shares with 2 foreign films (India) for the last screen

 

No Hard Feelings, Mermaid, and GOTG 3 finally dropped.

 

EDIT TO ADD: PLF 14 FINALLY also set for Wed/Thurs...

 

MI 7 gets 4 screens/15 showings (8 PLF, 7 not)

Sound of Freedom expands from 1 screen last week to 2 Wednesday (9 showings)

Insidious and Indy both drop from 2 screens to 1 screen each

Elemental, Spidey, Joy Ride, and No Hard Feelings keep 1 screen each (NHF probably balanced with the drop at the other theater)

Ruby (3 showings) and Flash (2 showings) split a screen

Mermaid (2 showings) and foreign films (Japanese) split a screen

 

Transformers, Asteroid City, and Past Lives dropped.

Is this referring to Barbie post-social media reaction T-10 sales or MI7 T-1 sales?

You'll find out in about 30 minutes.

One is absolutely more

Time to bring back some of the comps from the first few days of sales, not that they're all that great due to disparate pre-sale lengths.  But pace purposes might be interesting.

LOL.  Trick question! It was Oppenhemier having a 100+ seat sold day in spite of Barbie and MI7 beasting out!!!

 

NARRATOR: It was in fact NOT a trick question.

 

(mind this is a very nice result for Oppenheimer, all things considered - just not "Mother of God" worthy)
