Why the discrepancy in what we reported in previews and where they came out? Hispanic and Latino walk-up business at Cinemark theaters was huge in the South, with the demo winning the night at 42% to 38% Caucasian. The 18-24 sweet spot demo repped 45% of the crowd while the 13-24 set repped a massive 75% of the audience.

 

So, Deadline failed movie predicting 101 - understand who is going to attend the movie.  It's like Deadline forgot to check our site this week.

 

13-17 was 30%, even on a school night.

18-24 was 45%.

 

The other 25% was probably mostly whatever parent got stuck taking the 13-17s...or their little tag along siblings...

 

Or exactly as BOT has been predicting...

One question, do you know the demographics for this movie?

That is very good hold for Eras. it will have a good hold going by thu number.

Not sure what is it meant by "discounted price" but the movie should have no problem going for $175m. This is the range where most people was thinking how much Dune 2 will make. So I would say Eras did her job to "replace" the loss of Q4 theatrical revenue.

The price is $13.13 for everyone.

With Snow White moving to MAR 21, 2025, and Elio moving to JUN 13, 2025 the first qtr of 2024 looks pretty bare.  Going need to book more concert shows ASAP. Theaters are going to have a rough 2024.

Just catching up, have been scrolling through Gaylor meltdowns for hours (and they are spectacular). Bet Taylor made the Eras movie tickets nonrefundable because she knew she would be ending the shippers during the theatrical run, lol.

 

$10.3M for FNAF, way better than Deadline's early estimates. Of course they try to say it's because of last-minute walkups, when BOT's trackers were saying double digits previews for weeks.

All signs pointing to Wish breaking out big. Charlie has indicated the early pre-sales are great, Shawn has also expressed confidence in it and the marketing seems to really be doing its job.

 

I'm betting on it being the biggest Disney animation since Frozen 2.

It will really all come down to the soundtrack. I think Tangled is where we can cap an original WDAS musical for gross if the songs don’t really click (even though Tangled OST >>> Frozen imo).

Universal with a super early estimate of $34m Fri for FNAF, including previews.

Deadline's opening weekend articles nearly always include demo splits (and other trades come in with them at end of weekend).

Thank you very much for the answer. 

 

I will expect to Deadline's opening weekend article.

My high school daughter also want me to take her. I am asking another friend instead to take her over the weekend. This movie is attracting most important of all demos. For some reason they want to see it in big screen than seeing it on Peacock(I did tell my daughter that I can sub Peacock for a month)

For information you're probably not looking for - Deadline demo data dries up at some point in the 2010s but BoM weekend articles are moderately easy to find and have at least "4-quadrant" demo data for a good number of films from 2001 to 2017 or so (when the guy who did them left the company).

Ah, go - how many wholesome Halloween activities do teens and young adults get (this is why I gave in:)...yes, I also suggested Peacock and was told how wrong that would be!

Ok, some kids aren’t going so it’s only like 8 or 9. Which would be tolerable on its own … but for an opening Friday night show, I’m going be way outnumbered by the teens 

 

And the only other shows around the time they picked are Paw Patrol (no) and ERAS (oh god that’s worse), so …
