Movies

so the 7:15pm and 7:30pm shows are primarily sold...

Posted by: lobogotti on Mar 10, 16:54 in response to lobogotti's post 7:00 update: Cloverfield - 65, Grimsby - 4

7:15pm Cloverfield - 60 seats sold (additional walk-up business I'll need to confirm later tonight or tomorrow morning)  probably finish right at 50% capacity when count is in.

7:30pm Grimsby - 6 seats sold (additional walk-up business I'll need to confirm later tonight or tomorrow morning)  probably less than 10% capacity when count is in.

9:50pm Cloverfield - 13 seats sold
9:45pm Grimsby - 1 seat sold

source said Cloverfield performing solid, pacing well ahead of The Visit.  at this point my personal opinion is the studio was being extremely conservative when they said $19-20M.  this is performing a lot better than London last week and it did $21M.

as of 4pm, my local theater report... lobogotti Mar 10, 13:12

no, the tickets that have been sold up to this point. lobogotti Mar 10, 13:26

Wait, please explain. Do you actually work for this theater in some sort of management position where you can get actual box office take? diamondman56 Mar 10, 13:25

both. I count sold and have a close source I confirm walk-ups with. I can't go into any more details than that. {nm} lobogotti Mar 10, 13:28

We've got 8 sold for Grimsby. Don't have a decent enough comp to offer but at least a few people are showing up. {nm} RollingThunder Mar 10, 14:04

How many seats in your theaters? Wondering what the sold vs capacity is {nm} JDolphin Mar 10, 20:13
