Montreal now going 4 for 4 for theatre sales now. Very large increase in shows and seat inventory for Both Toronto and Montreal. Numbers might seem reduced a on percentage, but thats because more seat volume added, Montreal at 14 and 7 percent for a film over a month away is very good, and one of rare times Ive seen those full sales in motion in Montreal.

I feel MTC2 has blocked seats. I thought they may be less but feels like might be around ~1K.

The Bikeriders (Monday Night Outlook)

Cinemark Davenport 18 + IMAX

Thursday:

4 2D showings: 14/268 (5.2% sold)

 

Friday:

5 2D showings: 16/335 (4.8% sold)

Thurs + Fri: 30/603 (5% sold)

 

No comps for this one, though looking at the numbers, they're honestly higher than I would've expected at the beginning of the week for this kind of film. Hope to see some decent growth over the coming days.

I could technically bring back the BP2 comp, as T-38 was its first day of sales.  But gonna wait a few days (say four or five) and wait for the initial wave of sales to be over.  It'll still be a terribad comp, but at least it won't be a ludicrously terribad comp.  Just a ridiculously terribad one.

This jumped up big yesterday. I wonder if all the traffic in theatres yesterday helped put this on the radar of families to watch. If this also does the expected massive walk up business the franchise is known for, it's going to end up doing really well.

Starting to see 10m as a possibility for Bikeriders

[filmlover]

Hitting double digits would be a solid opening for The Bikeriders all things considered.

[Cmasterclay]

I can't watch a TV show or log on to YouTube or a website without seeing multiple ads for the Bikeriders, so I really really don't want to hear the typical "this Jeff Nichols arthouse film was obviously never gonna make money" that people are already preparing to hit me with. It's a starry action movie with a blockbuster level ad spend.

I always thought a bit over $10m was possible for Bikeriders. But the problem is that it's releasing in 2500 theaters. Only 2 movies this year I think that have opened in less than 3k theaters have had an OW of $10m+. An anime movie with a built in audience and Strangers which is a horror movie. 

 

I feel like they could've opened bigger than 2500 theaters. That's wide enough but thats still pretty small

OK. That's cute. But no one cares still.

Edited June 18 by justnumbers

[justnumbers]

Unless this hits old audiences effectively enough, I don't see that 10M happening. (This could be bias of mine because I'm sick to death of seeing this trailer on the theater but I will maintain this thought of mine.

Edited June 18 by justnumbers

[BadOlCatSylvester]

I feel like the strikes utterly destroyed Bikeriders's prospects. Disney dropping it right after the first marketing material was released, only for the mostly unsuccessful Focus to get it, and being pushed off by half a year as a result is going to hurt it incredibly badly.

[justnumbers]

Yeah. For some reason, I think there was momentum when 20th Century released that 1st trailer but after the acquisition it seems to have lost all of it and it's window.
