But is it worth premium price to see in theaters for a family of 3+?

 

It's getting harder to justify for families when there are similar films like Leo (another recent heartfelt animated film with talking animals) available for free at home.

Regal is running a family ticket promotion now (4 tickets all at children's prices, R rated movies excluded) but there still has to be at least 4 people and two kids under 12, which doesn’t cover every family situation. It's a start, though still not cheaper than staying home for streaming.

I bet many families are waiting for Discount Tues. My nearest Regal has $5 a ticket for every movie EXCEPT for TCP. Wonka, Migration, and Aqua should benefit tremendously.

TCP 16M ish. Very low walkups.

There's no way it does only $16M. Nearly every showing in my area is like 80-90% full with even a few sellouts.

The day started with $11M pre-sales, has barely added $3M till now.

I gotta trust Charlie on this...

 

If he thinks it's $16 million, it's probably that for Color Purple.

Okay but even multiple people on this forum have reported similar things regarding this movie. Don't get me wrong, $16M is still a good number, especially for a film of this kind, but I expected closer to $20M, especially after watching walkups help Aquabro and Migration exceed projections.

part of the reason walk ups could be weak is because it SOLD OUT in the areas where it could.

What would it have opened to with Aquaman ATP? Closer to 20?

From what I noticed, a lot of the areas where it was selling well were urban metros, which points to it's prospective audience being smaller than your typical blockbuster.

 

Add in the capacity constraints, and it's not hard to see it not reaching the numbers previously mentioned in tracking. Still a very good opening mind you

I suspect business is pretty light at the Casper, Wyoming movie theaters
