Does anyone know how many screens SOCMP was on last night versus this weekend?

Posted by: bennyg1985 on Aug 14, 08:17 in response to RollingThunder's post SOCMP - $4.96m Previews Thursday

I know that typically movies expand to more theatres on Friday after Thursday previews.  Anyone know if SOCMP will do that since it is in so many less theatres than some of the movies it is being compared against?  In other words, if Ant-Man did those numbers Thursday night then added 1,000 more theatres on Friday, and SOCMP doesn't, is that a fair comparison for the whole weekend.

This is better than Mad Max Fury Road ($3.7m), Pitch Perfect 2 ($4.3m) and right up there with American Sniper ($5.3m) {nm} nilephelan Aug 14, 07:06

Not sure that I see a great comp in RogerMore's database. PTCP2 was 4.6 (69.2 OW), GSOUL was 0.37 (13.1 OW), TLAM2 1.8 (29.2 OW). second gary Aug 14, 07:06

so you are saying that you're Straight Outta Comps? {nm} islander Aug 14, 07:32

Well. . . yes. . . I mean no. . . I mean. . . I dunno. {nm} second gary Aug 14, 08:32

Ride Along was 1.1 million, not sure what "42" did for its Thursday show. {nm} notfabio Aug 14, 07:58

It's Takes a Nation of Millions to Open This Flick? {nm} tawdryhepburn Aug 14, 10:51

Ant-man did 6.4 and 57 while MI5 did 4.0 and 55. Basically that means 56 is guaranteed for this right? {nm} MattW Aug 14, 07:39

Compton will be really frontloaded but can't see less than $50m for it with that number. Looks like there are already sellouts in my area. {nm} RollingThunder Aug 14, 07:41

So lobo or karspov (the one that made the bet about at least 40m OW) is safe?? :) {nm} alfjox Aug 14, 07:49

It would have to be ridiculously front-loaded - like TFIOS front-loaded - not to hit $40M. {nm} RogerMore Aug 14, 08:01

I think it will break 40 and hit 50's, this film has a big fanbase to pull from. Kicking myself for weeks not having it in my top 5 picks. {nm} tatoufan Aug 14, 08:12

Somehow, I don't see teenage boys rushing to the movie with a copy of the album in their hands¡ Hahaha {nm} alfjox Aug 14, 08:45

The adults might ;-) {nm} tatoufan Aug 14, 10:21

if it's as engaging as I'm hearing, it might be a multiple viewing movie. {nm} miss amanda jones Aug 14, 08:04

Always with the frontloaded with you? Why would this be really frontloaded? {nm} Dorfman Aug 14, 11:11

Not if ANTMN is the comparison. {nm} RogerMore Aug 14, 07:50

Eh, I ruined the joke. Should have said exactly 56 {nm} MattW Aug 14, 08:36

From DL: 2,264 theaters for the previews, 2,751 theaters today {nm} warcraft86 Aug 14, 08:31

KA-FREAKING-BOOM! {nm} lobogotti Aug 14, 08:23

and I flat guarantee this isn't overly frontloaded. my local theater is already selling out shows this evening. {nm} lobogotti Aug 14, 08:27

I'm glad you placed your marker on SOCMP and not FANT4. :) {nm} second gary Aug 14, 08:38

I knew fantastic was going to hell, the opening weekend just didn't go low enough to net me the 15 points on EAP {nm} karspov Aug 14, 08:41

and well deserved my man {nm} lobogotti Aug 14, 10:32

;) {nm} lobogotti Aug 14, 10:31

If anything, this will have great legs with no competition the next few weeks and appeals to older demographic. {nm} nilephelan Aug 14, 09:09

agree nile. I know that you had said you were high on this early on. I didn't know that until you commented, but good call on your part {nm} lobogotti Aug 14, 10:32

wow almost 5 mil {nm} Dorfman Aug 14, 11:10
