Having an advance screening of Paranormal Activity 2 didn't hurt it one bit.

Posted by: secretstalker (a.k.a TheWeekendWarrior) on Dec 01, 07:21 in response to notfabio's post These are for a February 9th advance screening, unsure if...

Unless you really think there are only 26,000 Justin Bieber fans out there :)

These are for a February 9th advance screening, unsure if it will be reported in first day box office [could be a bad thing actually]. notfabio Dec 01, 07:09

Isn't it likely to be much more frontloaded than Paranormal Activity 2? {nm} Jay_Beezy Dec 01, 07:39

Why "more"? I think it's likely to be just as frontloaded... but advance previews didn't hurt that movie one bit. {nm} secretstalker Dec 01, 07:42

Why not more? Concert docs are usually more frontloaded than horror movies. {nm} Jay_Beezy Dec 01, 07:52

They are? shadowking Dec 01, 08:13

I think he's talking about delist multipliers, not internal {nm} RogerMore Dec 01, 08:27

Perhaps, but that's not really an issue until after the adjust. {nm} shadowking Dec 01, 08:34

I think he means that if everyone goes and sees the preview, it lowers expectations for opening weekends. RogerMore Dec 01, 08:51

Let's be real. 26,000 tickets X $10 average ticket price = OW loss of $260,000. That's 26 cents a share. PEANUTS. {nm} dsbman Dec 01, 08:59

70.2 cents because of the OW multiplier, but yes. {nm} RogerMore Dec 01, 09:08

I didn't mean for the weekend actually, but whatever. {nm} Jay_Beezy Dec 01, 09:17

Ooops, sorry. {nm} RogerMore Dec 01, 09:20

It's fine. I'm just still flustered that this movie exists. {nm} Jay_Beezy Dec 01, 10:08

I felt this way when NKOTB first came out, but now I've lived through more than a few bland teen sansations and have learned to care less :) {nm} RogerMore Dec 01, 14:11

On second thought, maybe there's only 26,000 people who would care to see a documentary about him... Jay_Beezy Dec 01, 07:59

Isn't this a doc/concert film that includes performances? I think for movie to sell that many tickets this far in advance, there is interes secretstalker Dec 01, 08:05

I meant that as a wink/wishful thinking scenario. I should have put a wink at the end. {nm} Jay_Beezy Dec 01, 08:33

I have two questions. Jay_Beezy Dec 01, 09:19

He does have the most viewed YouTube video of all time. I won't see it personally but I will invest in it. {nm} Daze Feb 06, 08:49
