Five Nights of Freddy's Previews - 87335/436590 1289036.21 2951 shows +9506

 

I will update Friday in the morning. I would say growth is good. Around 35% from yesterday's pace but still previews are less exciting compared to Friday where I expect somewhere between 15-17K today. Still I am hopeful on double digit previews and good OW( 70m+).  

 

Shows did grow but nothing crazy yet. I am expect bigger growth tomorrow. 

Five Nights of Freddy's

Previews(T-2) - 99812/537178 1476299.44 3704 shows +12477

Saturday - 81388/741274 1108604.64 4937 shows

 

Ok pace for T-2. Not certain about even double digits based on this data. But its under indexing here big time for sure. At least show numbers are up but for the size of BO sales its still not that big. 

 

Saturday PS is like half the friday based on where I think Friday would be today(I will update in the morning). So will skew OD BO for the weekend.

That's coz a city area of tens of millions would be bananas.  Hell, I'm still surprised we get Houston coverage!

 

Can't even imagine how many theaters there are in the NYC area. Even if we restricted it to the more popular theaters, Empire 25 alone would make it... challenging.

 

Now a sub area of the NYC region might be interesting and doable.  Say one of the boroughs. But even then, logistics could get ugly, fast.

 

(we do in fact have occasional coverage of part of New York State thanks to local reporting from @TalismanRing, but not quite the same thing)

((and she's far too sane to even think about expanding her coverage map beyond her local theater 👍 :lol:))

Why couldn't someone just choose a handful or couple handfuls of theaters across the city and take a sampling? And then be consistent in those theaters they sample across every movie release so that you're getting apples-to-apples comps?

I mean, they could and should!  Some folks do just that here with their sampling. The problem can arrive though with making it a representative sample. (ETA) Well, maybe "representative" is the wrong word, as I think about it, so I'll use stable instead.

 

I think one of the great secrets of my Sacramento sampling, besides the demo makeup of the area, is that I cast a wide enough net to catch "spill over" from the major theaters.  Or in fact capture underperforming ones.  Or find when a style of movie is playing stronger/weaker subregionally in one area than another.

 

If I only sampled, oh say, Century Arden locally, I'd still be fairly accurate.  But I might miss out when it starts to cap out and spill over occurs to other nearby theaters.

 

Can see this somewhat writ large in my personal recent "misses" of Barbenheimer and TET when the entire region hit capacity concerns that weren't reflected in areas that had larger multiplexes.

 

But, aside from that edge concern, you're absolutely right.  Picking a couple/few theaters in a major metro and sticking with it is absolutely a way to go, and one I would recommend for someone on the fence.

 

At the same time, this is a rather niche hobby and it requires not only a certain bloody minded mindset to stick with it in the long haul but folks interested in doing it in the first place.

 

And, well, while they come and go in this thread there aren't so many people with that sort of mindset that there are a ton of trackers here at any one time. 😉

Just a great day today, locally, with strong sales up and down the region.

 

Maybe @M37 is on to something with his whole "What matters is being reminded by social media chatter That Something Exists" rather than the actual reason for the chatter.  YiBe40t.png

Better day today than yesterday.   And, yes, that increased show count is accurate.  Might even still go up if a couple of hold out theaters expand.

 

Not quite sure where this is pacing to, locally, but I do think one thing should be noted that might not have received the attention it deserves:

 

FNAF IS SELLING *VERY* WELL FOR 10PM AND LATER SHOWINGS.

 

Well, relatively speaking.  But honestly, seeing any sales in the late night corridor is noteworthy, and this is doing much much better than most in that time frame.  Fairly obvious why, I would think.  

 

Which should bode well for walkups on Thursday, and might not be caught by local trackers if it is indeed proportionately heavier than most Preview Late Night walkups that come in after end of various tracking reports.  That last point might only matter around the edges, but it is something I'll be thinking about on Thursday as I see the final sales roll in.

Yeaaah, I dunno.  Thinking of lowering my target now to 11m-12m. Screen capacity is absolutely there, as even more screens got added tonight.  Could still hit 12-13, mind, as ironically enough Barbie is pointing to that, both on overall comp and pace.  But Barbs underperformed here (almost certainly thanks to capacity) and while FNAF will have more PLFs and more late night walkups, capacity is not gonna be an issue here.  At all.

 

Still... Not ruling out 12m-13m, as finding the right comps can be difficult at best.  Plus the early WOM out of the UK might start moving the needle.  But, keeping my mind open on it being 11m-12m is probably where I'm at right now.

Reviews from the UK critics are slowly rolling out and....
:whosad:

Still relatively optimistic about a high OW, but who knows what the second weekend is gonna look like. There are positive reactions about the story, characters, and humor, but the main criticsm seems to be that it ain't scary enough. The FNAF fans seem really happy though (from the few posts and vlogs I've seen), and I wonder if the mild horror is actually gonna be a positive thing for the very young audience that's gonna attend this film.

Video game movies are just the new live action remakes. Like those remakes, little to no effort is needed to be considered good amongst it's target audience, just cater that nostalgia bug and you're good.

The lack of any trigger event other than the late review embargo is concerning.  This feels like a boring track so far, and honestly, I'm hoping we see something happen here just to make it interesting.

I strongly disagree.

 

I think people are happy to see an actual effort from many directors and producers nowadays to actually try to capture the spirit of the game as much as possible, as opposite to the past where they completely ignored the actual story and feel of the games and just used the name and general makeup of the IP in what felt like a very cynical cash grab that was completely dismissive of the original fanbase of the game.

 

Game adaptions history is in fact littered with such examples as Resident Evil, Street Fighter, freaking Mario bros., Hitman, Max Payne, Alone in the Dark, etc etc etc. There were very few that actually seemed to care about the game itself.

 

Even nowadays you have stuff like The Witcher where the actual fanbase of the books and games really dislike the showrunners showing such dismissive attitude towards the actual books and games. It's a big consensus in the fanbase that only Henry Cavill as Geralt saves it, and now he's gone... But I digress.

 

 

Regarding the reviews and reactions for FNAF, I'll just say I doubt they will really move much of a needle for this OW, and especially the OD, which were always destined to be big and then fall off a cliff afterwards, no matter the reviews.

 

I'm betting on it reaching the aforementioned 12M target for previews, any negative reviews be damned.

Little to no effort is kind of harsh as I do think there's more relative care than the average remakes but what I meant is you really just need to make it feel like the games. As long that's capture the rest are afterthought. Ngl the Sonic movies and Illumination’s Mario are still better than the majority of video game movies because of their faithfulness and fun, and as a fan it's nice that those details are there. However, they really struggle in character arcs and pacing as films with those portions feeling like afterthoughts as again fans want the feel of game first and foremost, and for those with families to experience them with their kids. Which is in some ways similar to a lot of the main demographic of the Disney remakes, in that the catering is for families or kids/teens and the nostalgic adults.

Huge increase in shows as expected. I think it has enough capacity to hit 400k+ final. But if final surge does not match what can happen, I could see true friday drop to mid to high 20s and with previews at mid to high 30s. That should still be sufficient for 75-80m OW which is still great.

Tickets just went on sale here yesterday evening lol. The Friday comp is def being impacted by blocked seats. I'd guess there are about 2 being counted per show,.. so the true multi on Thu is probably ~2.7x

How large is the amount of theaters you track? Because these numbers are like 10-20 times as large as other trackers. Does your scraper measure like half the country?

As someone who has been doing tracking in some form for .... well, a very long time (👴), to me the size or even location of the sample matters less than understanding the nuances of what is being tracking. Its not a question of quantity, but quality, in that a 5-10 theater geographically contained regional/sub-regional sample can be as - if not more - informative than grabbing an entire chain spread out overall several markets with competition. Yes, a smaller sample will naturally be more variable, but as the data set grows, using the right comps can correct for that market share fluctuation

 

Also, one other tip, particularly for those who track manually (also for scrapers who can spot check): pay attention to where and when tickets are being purchased, because that is often a clue as to WHO is buying the tickets:

  • Are they concentrated in busy location(s), or spread out? Is there a certain theater/area that is over/under performing their usual ratio?
  • What times are preferred? How do afternoon shows compare to 6-8pm, and do sales die off after 9pm, or are they strong there too?
  • Especially when sales volume is lower, how are seats distributed? Singles (subscribers), doubles (couples), or strung together (families/groups)? Also, where are people sitting, towards the lower level (older adults), back row/corners (younger audience)?

The tracking in this thread is often down to a science, with comps and growth rate and such, but as much as we focus on the volume, do not forget it is science of people, that every ticket purchased gives more information than just a binary 1 or 0 (if you know where to look for it, and then how to apply it projecting forward)

I think too tiny or regional are also problematic as movies can under or over index based on demographics. But I agree in principle that we dont need say humongous sample to get it right. Over a period of time, you need the right comps to make it work( @Porthos has aced that for sure ). For example for a movie like Eras no comps worked anywhere :-) On the other hand I expect comps for Marvels to be accurate at most locations as we have accurate comps and behavior of the genre. 

 

One advantage have a national sample(I consider my numbers a sample as well), I could just look at data in isolation and get a number at the end, based on ratios(relative to overall number) rather than just a comp with another movie. That works except for very small movies where ratios are all over the place.

The Marvels (D-15):

 

670 tickets sold at 10 Houston AMC's/+12 YD

 

Comps:

1.89 x (D-15) Indiana Jones 5 = $13.6m

 

* First comp for the Flash I have is (D-8) where that film was at 1375 tickets sold so Marvels has lot of work cut out to even reach that especially with no social reviews dropping until 2-3 days before release

We had great coverage of the Philly area before Eric peace'd out/had work conflicts. 

 

Aside from that, we've had reporting from the Maine area from our very own HBIC @Cap and as I mentioned TalismanRing (not tagging her here since I just tagged her and it's probs rude to tag again so quickly 😉) will report from her area when she has the time/interest. 

 

Did have a couple of others for a while but not much recently, no.

 

ETA:
 

Should also add that @TwoMisfits will report screen reports from her neck of the woods.  Not seat reports, no.  But still of interest and value! 👍

The three issues I had when tracking:

 

1. I lost or deleted a lot of my pre-Covid data. And even if I still had it, the markets change so much none of that would be worth looking at. So to start tracking the theaters again it would take at least six months to get any type of accurate comps because I’m just basically data mining until then.
 

2. we only have a couple Regals and like one AMC in Boston. Honestly, most of the data could probably be received from one of the larger reports.

 

3. The area is NOT pre sale heavy. Even before COVID, there would be like zero moment between Day One sales and Day Of Sales. So tracking in the north east would be more of a weekly thing than a daily thing.

 

It’s not the worst idea, and I don’t mind entertaining the idea of starting up again. I’m just not committing to anything until like December because of my job. I’ll probably grab some marvels data because it feels like something you should have.
