Incarnadine Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Now that I think about it, Ted may gain some of the screens. I think it caught theater owners by surprise, I don't think one single multiplex near me has it on more than 1 screen and when I was at the theater on Monday (for TASM) and Tuesday (for Ted) the lineups were freaking huge and it was selling out every showing.

druv10 Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Well, what other reason would they have?Something else has to go wide otherwise it doesn't make sense. 6 movies lost over 1000 theaters including 4 over 1400. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonytr87 Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Geez, I know Seeking a Friend did badly, but was THAT theatre drop REALLY warranted?!?!If it wasn't for Steve Carell the film would've started out in limited release, so I guess the drop is reflecting that. Should've been a fall release IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riczhang Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Geez, I know Seeking a Friend did badly, but was THAT theatre drop REALLY warranted?!?!All the theatre drops are probably preparing the way for TDKR, and IA4. At least, that's the only logical explanation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrestomanci Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Wow. So what is getting all those screens being freed up? A quick glance at that list shows well over 11,000 screens from those movies but the 2 new wide releases only total around 5,300. That still leaves about 6,000 screens unaccounted for and the new limited releases will barely make a dent in that number.The thing is, these aren't actually the theaters that these movies are losing on Friday, but the theaters that they will have lost since last Friday. Consider The Avengers for instance, it had 1757 theaters last weekend, but only 1352 yesterday. So while 1125 will be a drop of 632 theaters from last weekend, it will only be losing 227 theaters on Friday. So the answer is that ASM is getting (or, rather, has already gotten) those other screens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
