Movies

I'd say they were nonexistent and the crowds who went to midnight shows were diff. than those who would see a movie at 7pm. {nm}

Posted by: diamondman56 on Aug 12, 07:12 in response to TwoMisfits' post I'd say take at least 10% off the final weekend number...

FWIW, SAUSG walk-ups were strong at my theater last night. 9:30 show nearly as full as the 7pm. Hopefully means $30m+ this weekend. RollingThunder Aug 12, 05:29

Reminder: There were no Thursday previews of Pete's Dragon last night. diamondman56 Aug 12, 05:56

Or hopefully NOT. I'm playing the short. :) {nm} johnnyb588 Aug 12, 05:58

Or maybe you want us to think you are. :-) {nm} pennystocks2 Aug 12, 07:07

Definitely not playing the short any more! {nm} johnnyb588 Aug 12, 10:34

as always, thanks RT. my updates inside fwiw... lobogotti Aug 12, 06:07

What do you think about comps? What about BRUNO, 1.6 on the way to 30.6 in July 2009? {nm} second gary Aug 12, 06:39

I'd say take at least 10% off the final weekend number since Thursdays were less of box office in 2009 {nm} TwoMisfits Aug 12, 06:57

I'd look at movies from the same stable - XMAS, JSVSA, NEIBR and NEIB2. TED2 as well. {nm} RogerMore Aug 12, 07:01

How about This is the End? That must have had Thursday previews albeit not as many. {nm} diamondman56 Aug 12, 07:13

opened on a Wed, so Tues had $2.2M in previews {nm} lobogotti Aug 12, 07:16

JSVSA = This is the End (sorry, ticker symbols are quicker to type Also, it had Tuesday previews, so there'd be some finessing) {nm} RogerMore Aug 12, 07:17

Oh right.. "Jay and Seth vs. the Apocalypse" Smart move to change that title. {nm} diamondman56 Aug 12, 07:18

I like Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates - also raunchy, very recent, non-sequel, bad title, and R-rated...had a 10x multiplier TwoMisfits Aug 12, 07:19

Neighbors 2 is where I start... lobogotti Aug 12, 07:31

So, you're hoping for a $2.3M Thursday to make $30M? Roughly? {nm} TwoMisfits Aug 12, 07:48

I said on BOT last night I would be shocked at anything under $2.75M {nm} lobogotti Aug 12, 07:51
