Weekend Discussion: IM3 @ 175.3m wknd est

Recommended Posts

so lowest is BOG with 60 and change and highest is BTC with 70. In th emiddle is BO.com with 66-68. good range. Better then the ones Nikke comes up with. 

 

I think we can throw out the BOG one. I think 65 is the floor and 75 is the ceiling, with the most reasonable landing spot being 70.

The multiplier prediction for me is currently 2.57x. For the weekend.

 

Meaning...

 

$75M opening day = $193 million OW.

 

$70M opening day = $180 million OW.

 

$65M opening day = $167 million OW.

 

$60M opening day = $154 million OW.

 

$55M opening day = $141 million OW.

 

$50M opening day = $128 million OW.

 

Not very likely at all those numbers.

 

Taking that 50m OD, that would be a 34,4m friday w/o previews and it would need to increase to at least 45m on saturday to match that 128m OW. That's not going to happen.

Ahh, that makes sense.  Took them long enough.

 

 

Have you ever checked out megaplextheater.com.  These are for theaters in Salt Lake City area.

 

You can actually click on showtimes and see how many seats are filled.  They have added quite a few theaters in the chain since the last time I checked.

Don't see how you can throw anything out at this point.

Also I would like to caution everyone on what happens for almost every blockbuster. Expectations are tempered trying to be reasonable and smart before the film opens with a few members reaching for the sky. Midnight numbers (previews also) come out and people start getting excited. As the day progresses more people talk about sellouts and box office sites start to report big numbers. The excitement builds as the OW predictions climb higher and higher. Then they reach a point of insanity where the movie has no chance to hit expectations and the opening day gross is viewed as a disappointment. The board then goes extremely negative dropping expectations by 10-20m+ and people start to think the movie is a bomb and that WOM isn't really that good. So now we have the movie at an insanely low benchmark to pass. Saturday rolls around and reports start coming in on how full matinees are and people start to raise their predictions as box office sources report a bigger Saturday then expected. Expectations then rise slowly as people want to be cautious, because of the highs and lows that occurred before and the movie winds up about where most people had it before OW and most members are satisfied with the opening weekend number. So let's just say right now it'll open to 165-175m DOM and save ourselves the trouble? Haha like that'll happen.
