70% of weekend ticket sales.
That isn't the most useful stat but last weekend was 130m, this one should be at least 100. Not that I think it'll be a 70m opener but I would be extremely surprised with under 40, and somewhat surprised with under 50. I'm still slightly worried about the lack of comparisons but my guess is the core audience for this movie don't do presales as much as say mad max's.
DL: Straight Outta Compton's advance Fandango sales, literally, THROUGH THE ROOF! Aug 13, 09:48
Still no good comparisons. Ray, Walk The Line, Notorious and Jersey Boys all open under $30M. {nm} Aug 13, 09:51
Yeah, but Straight Outta Compton has more appeal to men under 40 than Jersey Boys, and an 89% RT score. {nm} Aug 13, 09:59
Sure, I didn't say otherwise. {nm} Aug 13, 10:03
Is it outselling RDLON 41M 3-days? That would be more telling. {nm} Aug 13, 10:10
do you think whites will be intimidated do go to the theaters? {nm} Aug 13, 11:10
not if they have any balls. that should not be an issue IMHO. {nm} Aug 13, 11:39
For myself I will just wait to see it on video Aug 13, 16:39
70% of weekend ticket sales. Aug 13, 10:14
Theater count is the obstacle here; 20K+ PTA at this TC level has happened (i.e. 8 Mile) but is still rare air. {nm} Aug 13, 10:16
I don't understand. What wa slast weekend 130m this one 100? {nm} Aug 13, 10:17
Weekend gross for all movies combined {nm} Aug 13, 10:22
That's exactly why I said I *don't* expect it to be 70m (or more generally 70% of next weekend's total) Aug 13, 10:29
Ok. it's just the way you highlighted "70% of weekend ticket sales." {nm} Aug 13, 10:33
I see what you mean now. That was a quote from the DL article, I should have included the "..." {nm} Aug 13, 12:41
This isn't something we've looked at closely, but here's some research and early thoughts. Aug 13, 11:59
good stuff {nm} Aug 13, 12:20
Very cool, thanks. That FANT4 quote at the end is priceless, I missed that last weekend {nm} Aug 13, 12:38
you damn right they is {nm} Aug 13, 10:23
The story doesn't match the headline. {nm} Aug 13, 10:26
I was being funny, though I know my cut of humor is not near as entertaining as charlie {nm} Aug 13, 10:55
where's mike255 to tell us all the reasons white people won't go to this movie in the theaters? {nm} Aug 13, 10:26
I sure hope the reason he is not replying is because he is banned ;-) {nm} Aug 13, 10:29
aww man Aug 13, 10:30
say it ain't so? is he really banned? {nm} Aug 13, 10:55
LOL, no doubt. btw, Saul deserved all it's Emmy nods and more! {nm} Aug 13, 10:54
I think everything will be fine. Aug 13, 11:12
agreed sir. hopefully $15,000 to 20,000 per theater average in store for this one. {nm} Aug 13, 11:39
