Director Bong Joon-ho and actor Song Kang ho collaborate in a new film set to be released on May 30.

I've watched the trailer and read the synopsis but I can't make head or tail of what it's about.

It’s about a parasite, what more do you even want 😛

I stopped reading. That’s all I need.

 

Hype.

According to articles EG officially surpassed 10m admissions today, which means the fastest record in history(11 days).

So it crossed 812k admits (atleast) 3 hours ago. Might eventually cross 900k.

Erm well...as insightful as your point is, I guess the fact that I didn't really get any parasite movie vibes from the trailer was a bit confusing. And you can always count on Bong joon ho to cook up something weird and unexpected.

It looks like Sunday drop will be softer than last Sunday, as expected. So another 800k+ today, then 11m+ on Monday(substitution holiday for Children's Day).

Quick drive by, 900k today as expect witht he midday numbers. All in all decent (Didn't know IW had Childerens day last year on it's second sat) 

Ps for sunday are down 8% with stronger walk ups in the morning / early afternoon but a lot weaker evening walk ups should be down a bit more than 8% I think.

 

Will make on more quick post in the Brazilean thread because I got to get back to my dinner table before my gf and her friends murder me for doing this  

[troyand]

I made a mistake above. Monday is not Children's Day, but a substitution holiday for it. Anyway I'll be happy if EG shows a better drop on that day, compared to IW.

Won't matter much numbers wise whether it's the actual holiday or a substitution for the holiday. 

Either way, should be well above IW on that day.

Does it seem to hit $115M at the end?

I don't think it will it's loosing steam atm and it would need about 15.35m admission with an ATP of $7.5.

Atp is getting better Yesterday it was $7.7 (has be around $7.3 for a decent amount of days but it's getting better).

 

Also Sat final number is: 899.958 / $6.995m so let's say $7m.

 

Sunday so far is doing great compared to sat down 3.8%, evening walk ups will be a substantial amount lower than Sat. So guessing around 6% - 6.5% down for today. About 842k - 848k would be around $6.4m USD.

[troyand]

Today's field sales look superb. The pattern is relatively flattened thanks to Children's Day and its substitution holiday tomorrow.

Nice

[Stewart]

861k actuals today. Stronger evenings than usual since tomorrow is nominated holiday.

 

Also Pikachu did 120k this weekend in previews, which would explain the high presales. The response to it on CGV seems to be OK, but nothing spectacular. In particular over 50s and under 10s like, except the brunt of the audience is outside that range.

 

Endgame $ total up to $81.6m, 90% it lands between $104m and $112m now, barring a sudden ER drop or worse-than-expected late legs.

Presales for tomorrow at a rather large 181k due to Children's day.

 

Based on a similar, but proportional, run rate to Labor Day, we're currently expecting an estimated 598k, down just 30%.

 

Expect a much larger drop on Tuesday when it finally normalises.

Nearly 600k will be really good. I think, to pass Avatar, EG’s outpacing IW in daily numbers should last at least by the upcoming weekend. So I hope weekday numbers after Monday will be mid or high 100k.

Oh yeah, so I noticed that IW's Monday was rather large (also a 30% drop). I was wondering if you knew why that was? 

 

I though Children's Day was Saturday last year, and Sunday this year. Then assumed that, like Japan, when a holiday falls on a Sunday the Monday after gets to be a "nominated Holiday". Does this also apply to Saturday as well then or did May 7th have something special last year?

 

Also based on IW, I think it will almost-certainly pass Avatar in admissions, in $ will be more difficult.
