Damn, more screens than AOU?

Important to note, AIW is coming up to the D-03 mark, and has 1,871 screens so far. That's 59% more than CW...

On track for about 65-75k increase, down slightly from yesterday, looks to be following CW more so than AoU. 

 

Also you have the issue that there's only so many seats people can book. 

 

At this moment I expect it'll finish with 0.95 - 1.05m presales. With a 20% chance it stagnates at the end and doesn't pass ultron presales

I’m expect huge jump on Monday .

Increase of 66k today, less than yesterday, but still decent.

Also brought up the number of screens since AIW has basically exactly as many screens as CW had in total! (And CW > AoU for screens)

Has passed CW presales, should increase 80-90k today to about 670k total presales!

 

Also has 2,025 screens currently - absolutely huge!

South Korea is such a blessing for these movies, imagine if China had the same appetite for these movies proportionally-speaking ^^

Shiiiiit! I saw Battleship Island had 2,027 screens at peak, am I right in thinking this makes AIW the widest release ever? (It's now at 2031)

Yep, we would be seeing China at $500m+ if the Chinese GA loved supes as much as Korean GA

 

Also, @Fullbuster congrats on 34,000 posts exactly! That's a lot

I wish Japan loved CBMs as much as South Korea. It's the only major market where they seem to be rejected. Having most of them make only around $10 million or so is disappointing considering the box office ceiling in the market is so much higher (above $100 million or even $200 million in rare instances).

Well, I did it in 6 years+, and I was far more active in the 1st years ^^

I can understand Japan, they have animes and videogames, they have their own heroes who are closer to the Japanese culture.

 

Many people in the rest of the world are impressed by comicbook movies in terms of visuals, fights..etc..but when you're used to anime fights and charismatic/powerful villains like Japan it's a bit harder to be impressed.

[pepsa]

Strong evening in PS today, like @feasby007 said it will come in around 90k. Early today i tought 80k was the more likely. Bodes well for tomorrow I think. 

[pepsa]

Well damm, it's more like 97K today. Awesome, the sales really picked up this evening. Tomorrow will increase a hell of lot!

D-01   (1863 screens)  
D-00   (1954 screens)  

 

Massive increase today of 97k! Phenomenal progress in the evening as well as passing CW final total. 

 

Also, on 2,062 screens, it will be shown on 71% of the screens in the country! Most screens ever for a film

 

Also there's about 490-500 theaters in the country, and AIW is currently in 421 of them. Given some are probably small arthouse theatres, that's a fantastic number!

 

 

As @pepsa said, evening run rate was brilliant, running at 9k per hour most the time, much greater than we've seen in the past few days.

Edited April 22, 2018 by feasby007

[pepsa]

@feasby007 So happy you checked the run rate of the evening, forgot to do that! 9k per hour is great. 

[Life goes on]

By tomorrow presales for AIW will explode in South Korea and all over the world.

I hope and expect 200k+ PS for tomorrow and tuesday for an easy 1m+ in PS and a record breaking $30+ million opening weekend in South Korea.

200k is perhaps a little optimistic, especially since capacity is becoming an issue with major sellouts everywhere. I'd say 150k is more what to expect, with a final push of 200k on Tuesday. Giving a rough final total of 1.05M

I think it will get to 1.1M, a there is some room left I feel specially cause presales work for the whole weekend.

150k for tomorrow and 200k for tuesday is good enough for me. As long as AIW will break the 1M barrier in PS and make a record breaking $30 million on opening weekend, then i’m satisfied.

Unless something collapses due to upfront demand (entirely possible), it should breach 1M in PS.

 

Also, since we have a Wed-Sun, the 3-day won't be over $30m. However the 5-day should be over $30m.
