Inside Out 2 

THURSDAY PREVIEWS -

Previous Update: 774 tickets

New Update: 787 tickets

Growth: 13 tickets (or 1.6% increase)

 

Some growth, not bad but I expect sales to increase steadily as we get closer to release day. I’m of the opinion that this won’t be presale heavy whatsoever. The presales are good enough to not be a disaster like Garfield, but not big enough to guarantee a 100m opening. I still like what I’m seeing though. As my local theater has finally shown some signs of life with this film. 5 tickets sold. Way better than Garfield at the same point.

 

FRIDAY - 

I think some of these seats are just blocked off so the numbers might not be completely accurate, but it’s looking extremely strong for Friday. 

 

900 tickets for the five theaters I track. Maybe even 1,286 tickets if my numbers are accurate. That tells me this is not front loaded whatsoever. Or at the very least not preview heavy.

I will repeat what I said in the other thread. This makes sense. Kids are just getting out of school. Summer weekdays will kick in that following week. So thursday previews not being massive are not a sign of trouble.

Anyone know how many theaters Young Woman and the Sea is opening in this weekend? I just checked showtimes near me, and in the entire Chicago suburbs it looks like it's only in 5-7 theaters for Friday. Also randomly enough it has a couple of showtimes today at 3pm at some random AMCs? Looks like they're 30-50% full.

It looks like a 400-600 theater release at most from what I can tell. They're being selective about where it's playing.

Still not sure what a good comp for BB ROD is except for the previous movie. It just feels like it's own franchise. Esp as walkup friendly as it is.

Equalizer 3 and Creed III - both established action franchises with well known leads, audience know what they are getting, but with a demo skew that will help lead to a walk-up friendly finish

Is @M37 no longer around? I think last we saw him was during Zilla OW if I am not wrong. 

Spoiler

Haven't been around, dealing with some personal stuff, didn't think it was necessary to announce. Honestly don't know if/how much I'll be chiming in over coming months - might need the distraction - but certainly no charts for the summer, as I won't have easy access to my data

So how is $100M looking for Inside Out?

[todos]

Sorta newish here but is there a way to mute/block a person’s posts? Off topic I know (sorry) but there’s a poster that just ruins the flow of this board with no significant contribution of numbers except child-like opinion and debate.

Put him on ignore. just point over the user name and you get an option to ignore. Very easy. I block so many rather than just reacting to everything. Ensures threads dont derail for sure.

Threw a chart together at pretty much the last moment.  Might still play with it a bit, but it's basically a version of things I've done previously, but prettified.

 

Might still play with it a bit.  Or junk it altogether.  See how it goes.
