Given the release date, should be good for a >5x OW total. So ~$25-$40M OW for the under $225M range, or ~$60M+ for the over $325M blow-up (because in between those values is not a target one should aim for)

Im much more in the former camp, something like 8x-10x IM range (don’t quote me on that), so like $2.5-$5M preview is roughly the target range IMO. Will have to think about comps, but honestly Transformers mentioned above doesn’t seem terrible

Thanksgiving, counted today for today:

NY (AMC Fresh Meadows 7): 95 (3 showtimes)
Miami (AMC Sunset Place 24): 30 (3 showtimes)
Grand Rapids (AMC Grand Rapids 18): 7 (1 showtime)
Austin (AMC Lakeline 9): 6 (2 showtimes)
Tempe/Phoenix (AMC Centerpoint 11): 16 (2 showtimes)
San Francisco (AMC Metreon 16): 73 (2 showtimes)
LA (AMC Universal): 138 (5 showtimes)

Total tickets sold in 7 theaters: 365.

Up ok 40% since yesterday.
Comps (all films counted on Thursday of the release week for Thursday): Smile (2M from previews) had 467 sold tickets,
The Invitation (775k) had 218,
M3gan (2.75M) had 782,
Prey for the Devil (660k) had 164,
The Forever Purge (1.3M) had 241,
HK (4.85M) had 1.314

and HE (5.4M) had 1.557 sold tickets.

So from the comps between 1-1.5M and I rather tend to the upper region.

Thanksgiving, counted today for Friday:

NY (AMC Fresh Meadows 7): (6 showtimes)
Miami (AMC Sunset Place 24): 26 (7 showtimes)
Grand Rapids (AMC Grand Rapids 18): 19 (4 showtimes)
Austin (AMC Lakeline 9): 0 (5 showtimes)
Tempe/Phoenix (AMC Centerpoint 11): 8 (4 showtimes)
San Francisco (AMC Metreon 16): 48 (5 showtimes)
LA (AMC Universal): (9 showtimes)

Total tickets sold in 7 theaters: 349.

Up mediocre 32% since yesterday.
Comps (all films counted on Thursday of the release week for Friday): Smile had 549 sold tickets,
Old had 500,
The Invitation had 204,
The Nun II had 1.106,

M3gan had 752,
Prey for the Devil had 262,
Saw X had 622,
HK had 1.575
and HE had 1.561 sold tickets.

The same as on Monday, between 10-15M. Depends on walk-ups and WOM which I can't value at all being from Europe. When it comes to „normal" horror movies that works quite fine. But here, with E. Roth and Grindhouse involved, no idea.

Evidently good walkups but it can only go so far from such a low base.

Next Goal Wins not really worth a separate post - 29 tickets sold. It will be lucky to reach $100k previews (i.e. not worth reporting).

Yeaaaah, I dunno. 5m looking really dicey if Sacramento is indicative.

Right about now is when I remind everyone that the patented Sacto Dark Magic™ does not (necessarily) apply to Quick and Dirty's, but... Well, trend arrow is in the wrong direction. Could still clear 5m, especially since nearly every other market looks to be performing better. On the other hand, when literally only one comp is clearing 5m and that only just...

Meh. Just not doing well here, probably. Either that or shitty comps.

Find out soon enuf, I suppose.

The odds were not ever in BOSS's favor here, it would appear. Not even Barbie, which had severe capacity restraints, spits out a 5m comp (though that just missed).

I'm sure if I trawled through my allllll of my comps I could find one that by sheer happenstance is correct(-ish), but call a spade a spade. Just didn't perform well here. At all.

I mean, if Barbie doesn't even spit out a 5m comp, not sure what I can do! After a semi-quick check, the only one that's in the right ballpark genre rise even vaguely that randomly comes closer to other markets is Shazam 2 at 5.52m. But that's extreme cherry-picking.

So it'll be off, but since i detest herding, for the record let's go with 4.8m +/- .4m coming out of Sacramento.

Obi Wan GIF by Star Wars

Maybe the Dark Magic pulls one out again (a weaker West Coast in general could drag down numbers), but I suspect it’s more a combination of female-skewing crowd (see Barbie & Scream VI) plus a less metro audience (Indy & TGM, but without the dad-action bump that keeps your market in line)

The only other comp I see above Shazam (higher PSM) would be Oppy, but that was driven by a huge PLF share and capacity limitations

keysersoze123 · November 17, 2023

We will see if Dark Magic fails here. I am finding it hard to believe its missing 5m.

DAJK · November 17, 2023

I’m with @keysersoze123 BOSS is selling pretty well everywhere I look. Can’t really see it missing 5M either, I’d go 5.5 tbh.

Thanksgiving is pretty disappointing tonight, could see it barely scraping by 10. Next Goal wins isn’t doing as… terribly as I thought it might. 4-5M could happen as long as audiences don’t hate it.

Hunger Games: BoSS Preview Tracking T-1 Update

At the risk of repeating myself: still looking like $5.5-$6M Thursday to me

MTC1 should hit (or at least be very close to) 100K at final (+50%), and if we see very good walk-ups (like Fast X/JWD level) then 110K is in play. Sacto is likely to underindex on this title, as it seems to be playing to a more casual audience (see Minny and esp OK comp values), less the traditional fan audience that brings out the Dark Magic

Trolls

Rather than write another post ....

Those MTC1 sales are terrible, but looking at regional comps think ~$1.5M, maybe a bit under. Friday sales are better, but also not really inspiring. Think the pre-Thanksgiving opening means families know they have a 10.5 day window rather than a true OW, and with little fan rush is spreading demand out a bit, and/or the presence of Wish is holding back sales as well. Definitely thinking more mid-$20s opening now (and again I don't understand this release date choice rather than 1-2 weekends earlier)

Assuming MTC1 comes in the ~100K final mark I have penciled in, the final comp average for HG:BoSS would land at $5.71M (which is coincidentally where Minny (MSP) ended up, the only market for which there is no final update, so no effect on the average)

With that track complete (pending final and actual numbers), just a heads up that I'll be shifting from active to more passive status for a little while, putting away my spreadsheets and charts, as I have lots of family coming to visit through the TG holiday. [Somehow, despite moving to a different state, we got volunteered to host yet again?]. Plan to pick back up for the holiday releases ... presuming any of those films look worthy of the effort

One final note, that I suppose you could classify under "buzz": after watching a TV spot for Wonka, my teenage daughter goes:

"That's not Willy Wonka"

"Why? Its just a prequel"

"Cause he's hot.🥵 Wonka is not supposed to be hot, so that can't be him"

Adjust your forecasts accordingly :wiggle:

I mean, if Barbie doesn't even spit out a 5m comp, not sure what I can do! After a semi-quick check, the only one that's in the right ballpark genre rise even vaguely that randomly comes closer to other markets is Shazam 2 at 5.52m. But that's extreme cherry-picking.

So it'll be off, but since i detest herding, for the record let's go with 4.8m +/- .4m coming out of Sacramento.

This franchise fell off badly...

Did anyone expect it to put up numbers close to the OG movies? it's a prequel, there is no J-Law star power here, and the YA genre is deader than dead.

I’m with @keysersoze123 BOSS is selling pretty well everywhere I look. Can’t really see it missing 5M either, I’d go 5.5 tbh.

Thanksgiving is pretty disappointing tonight, could see it barely scraping by 10. Next Goal wins isn’t doing as… terribly as I thought it might. 4-5M could happen as long as audiences don’t hate it.

I mean…you’re in Canada. Makes sense Thanksgiving wouldn’t perform well there. (Yes I know you have Thanksgiving but…you know what I mean lol)

We will see if Dark Magic fails here. I am finding it hard to believe its missing 5m.

Always say Dark Magic Does Not (Necessarily) Apply for Quick and Dirty checks for a reason. 🙂

but I suspect it’s more a combination of female-skewing crowd (see Barbie & Scream VI) plus a less metro audience (Indy & TGM, but without the dad-action bump that keeps your market in line)

The only other comp I see above Shazam (higher PSM) would be Oppy, but that was driven by a huge PLF share and capacity limitations

Maybe. Not sure I buy the female-skewing crowd point as if anything TLM over-performed here, and by quite a bit. So too did Frozen 2 back in the day. Scream VI is difficult to really suss due to Fan Event showing and 3D so I'm leaving that to the side. As I think about it a bit more, both FB2 and FB3 also radically over-performed here, FWIW, and they stereotypically had a strong female fanbase (at least as memory serves — didn't check out the OW demos so I could be wrong). So while there might be something there I don't know if we have enough data to truly say.

I mean anything that tries to explain FB2/FB3 over-performing but BOSS under-performing is gonna be... a difficult circle to square. Beyond the old standby of Random Shit Happens (esp with few data points).

Could also be something that @TwoMisfits has mentioned that I'm thinking more and more about.

I do joke that my Q&Ds aren't indicative mostly because I just don't have that many sub 7m comps. And the ones I do have I don't keep detailed records on, have haphazardly, etc.

But I'm also starting to wonder if the lack of A-List AMC "Sure why not" movie ticket buying might be mattering on these lower grossers. The main driver here is Cinemark, which has a very different Movie Club ticket plan. Even Regal isn't really the same as AMCs. Cinema West also has its own movie club, but it's geared toward the points model as I look at it.

So it could be that lack of AMC impulse buying is dragging down sub 7m comps and I just don't have enough of those in my database to find better ones.
