Tomorrow 300k for HTTYD2?

 

Seat saturation would need to increase significantly for 300k to happen since presales are weaker than last week and showtimes decreased too. Friday numbers (yesterday) increased over last week despite comparatively lower presales because seat saturation was higher (23.8%->49.8%). Roaring currents and the extremely hot weather will draw people to the theatres and spillover effect should help with more walk-up business but to what degree it will increase the saturation is hard to predict.  

[tupek]

Yes, I've been noticing that:

 

This friday's presales: 89,155

Last friday's presales: 158,671

 

But walk-up business stronger these weekdays.

 

I hope nice increase in walk-up business over the weekend.

According to CJ entertainment (distribution chain) Roaring currents passed 3 million admissions at 12:30 pm (local time) which was 1 hour 15 mins ago.

It was at 2,277,146 admissions by the end of yesterday so apparently it amassed 723,000 admissions just from morning showings..

 

This record is a day faster than revious record holders snowpiercer, transformers 3 and secretly greatly (5 days)

Wow! That would mean that it needed to sell 500+ tickets for each screen just in the morning showings

how do you figure?

[chimpo]

Since you mentioned 723 000 admission had to be made in the morning showings to reach 3 million admission then I just divided 723 000 by 1300 screens it had on friday. It gives 556 tickets per screen.

 

This is of course on average.

If it were a single showing per screen I'd be inclined to agree but they generate numerous showings per screen in a single day and judging from the length of the film I'm thinking 1-3 showings could have occurred per screen during the morning. 500+ seats is among the larger sized theatres in Korea and there aren't a huge number of them which is why I'm was a little surprised at that figure

[chimpo]

I guessed that there had to be more then 1 screening per screen because that would be ridiculously high average per screening.

 

I remember when Shrek 3 had an OW records in Poland and the cinema I worked at had 3 copies, which then were interlocked to 7 screens and weekend average for one copy at that cinema was above 8000 tickets. ( over 24 000 tickets sold for one movie over OW in one cinema )

Yeah the showtimes all added together would be pretty close to the figure you quoted provided there wasn't a drastic shift in screens. Another thing to consider is not all 1,300 screens (if it is that number) might have been showing roaring currents during the morning, some could have started showing in the afternoon.You worked at the cinema? Pretty cool job

[chimpo]

You worked at the cinema? Pretty cool job

Yeah. I saw every single movie that was on schedule for free

 

And I saw few movies before release too

Competition is too intense at the moment and it doesn't look like there's a spillover effect either. There's still the possibility it holds well in week 2 like HTTYD2 has been doing but I don't think it will be reaching Thor2 numbers.

Yeah, looks like a $4.5m o/w so it would have to have around a 4.7 multiplier to reach Thor 2.  Highly doubtful.

1,213,718??? What the fuzz is happening!

[Blackout]

Wow @ Roaring Currents. 

 

[tupek]

Holy chit!!And me not like that HTTYD2 drop but given how supermassive is RC I think its not that bad
