That’s interesting, but it’s limited to one code per subscriber. Could help bring the cost down for families though.

The ultimate cross promotion between D+ and IO2! See IO2 now and watch on on D+ in 3 months.

 

But seriously, this is about covering mom or dad's ticket while they bring in the kids. They want as many families to see it as possible before DM4. 

 

If this works out I can see them doing this D+ promotion with Moana 2 and Elio.

HUGE jump for FRI in MiniTC2.

I think IO2 will just stay flat on saturday. Its almost peak summer plus Sunday would be a huge day due to FD. I would not be surprised if all 3 days gross around the same. I am feeling good about mid 30s gross for those days.

Historically Father's Day Pixar openers jumped around 10%, may be this does 5% on low end, though I feel should hit 10%.

Inside Out 2 (T-2)

25 showtimes/518 tix sold (+76)

 

1.55x Bad Boys 4 T-2 [8.64m]

5.043x Garfield T-2 [9.71m] last day I took Garfield

a lot of new showtimes were added, but not a lot of sales came to fruition. I expect tomorrow to be a much bigger day of growth, if there’s 200 tickets sold I’d be happy.

Friday (T-3): 40 showtimes/943 tix sold (+146) 24 showtimes added is insane. A fair amount are empty, but if demand is there they’ll fill up soon.

 

1.82x Thursday

Inside Out 2 (T-1)

25 showtimes/676 tix sold (+158) so-so

 

1.33x Bad Boys 4 T-1 [7.43m] maybe Bad Boys just had exceptional growth

6.57x Watchers T-1 [6.56m] maybe Watchers over indexed?

T-0 should be around 860-910 tickets sold.

Friday (T-2): 40 showtimes/1244 tix sold (+301) 

 

1.84x Thursday

3.72x Bad Boys Thursday T-2 [20.76m]

[Flip]

In the battle of the flops, Horizon’s D1 sold double Bikeriders total so far.

Insane growth in these past two days. I know this is overindexing here, but wow. I'm thinking this could open to 120M or higher.

Man I don't want to declare cinema has been saved yet but these tracking updates making it hard to stay cautious

Cinema is hardly saved, but yeah I'm happy that Inside Out 2 looks to be a huge success.

TWO THEATER MN PRESALES TRACK (T-1)

06/13/24

Inside Out 2 - 302 tickets sold

 

COMPS

Inside Out 2

2.48x of Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire ($11.63M)

2.88x of Kung Fu Panda 4 ($10.93M)

4.72x of The Garfield Movie ($9.08M)

9.15x of IF ($16.02M)

AVERAGE: $11.92M ($10.55M without IF)

 

Couldn't quite top Bob Marley and Dune in my market, but absolutely stellar showing regardless. Easily became the top selling movie of the year at my AMC, but a confluence of Dune having 70mm at my Emagine theater and family movies performing poorly there for some reason kept it just a bit away. Comp average firmly north of $10.5M, how much higher depends on the extent to which you think IF is a worthwhile comp. Wasn't sure personally so I had multiple averages, but I lean towards having it in because IO2 is growing explosively well this week and I don't see why it can't have kids movie tier walkups like IF. Plus Garfield over-indexed here making IF's under index a fair counteract. Walkups are a fickle business but I think this is truly in for a massive, massive finish. Setting my prediction at $10.5-11.5M THU and a $115-135M OW.

@Inceptionzq Can you post updates for Inside Out 2 if you have some time. 

[Speedorito]

I’d forgotten what a 3 digit opening weekend looks like, it’s been so long. And we’ll be getting two in July.
