And people stay home b/c it's cold b/c??

Posted by: TwoMisfits (a.k.a del_SCA_TwoMisfits) on Dec 15, 17:55 in response to Antibody's post Points out weather is colder this year.

Seems to me people go to indoor attractions when they can't go outside.  It's like why movie theaters are packed on rainy summer days.

This isn't a blizzard where roads are impassable.  The areas where the weather is snowy are areas which handle snow. 

Looks like the excuses are already getting set up...which I think is early unless this is a loser in flyover country b/c it is doing well here...but my area would go for this movie...

 

DL: early Rouge One Thursday previews somewhere between $20m and $40m slipping jimmy Dec 15, 16:57

That's really helpful. {nm} diamondman56 Dec 15, 16:58

slight correction: mid-$20s but yeah {nm} slipping jimmy Dec 15, 16:58

Force Awakens did $57 million Thursday and had a 4.4 Thurs to weekend. Figure Rogue One will have slightly better mult? {nm} diamondman56 Dec 15, 17:12

4.4 * 30 = 132 and 5 * 30 = 150 TwoMisfits Dec 15, 18:21

Yes, in NYC it was 59 degrees on preview Thurs for STAR7 and tonight it's on 12 and heading to 6...Brrrr {nm} tomcat90 Dec 15, 17:49

Had to send the city a message {nm} God Dec 15, 17:50

Haha, +1 {nm} tomcat90 Dec 15, 17:50

your pettiness about this movie truly knows no bounds {nm} slipping jimmy Dec 15, 18:04

It's not petty - it's common sense. Cold weather should encourage movie going, not discourage it. TwoMisfits Dec 15, 18:12

going out in sub-zero temperatures is risking death if your car breaks down {nm} slipping jimmy Dec 15, 18:13

That's completely backwards. People are more likely to stay home where it's warm if it's cold and storming outside. {nm} Antibody Dec 15, 18:42

It is completely dry over almost everywhere Texas East - cold and dry does not keep people home... TwoMisfits Dec 15, 19:02

And it's raining pretty hard in SoCal. People here can't drive in the rain. {nm} Antibody Dec 15, 19:15

Where do you live? Alaska where you are used to this weather or Califormia where you don't know what 0F feels like {nm} JDolphin Dec 15, 19:15

I still think Rogue One is going to make lots of money - there are 3 days to chose from and Fri is the semi-decent day where I live {nm} JDolphin Dec 15, 19:22

In the metro area where the incoming First Lady doesn't want to live - we don't do 1/4 inch of snow, but we can handle a little cold... {nm} TwoMisfits Dec 15, 19:46

i lived in Baltimore for 10 years before moving out here. DC metro people are huge weather pussies {nm} slipping jimmy Dec 15, 21:57

I live in Baltimore. It's 12 right now. I'm terrified... wish I could go to a movie instead of work. :P {nm} Bronzey Dec 16, 04:37

Hmm .. I've always thought it's common sense to stay home and not freeze (I'm talking about 0-10F, not 30F) {nm} JDolphin Dec 15, 19:09

GO TO THE THEATER! {nm} slipping jimmy Dec 15, 19:10

I've been out all night in -2 degree wind chill - it's not hard. Had tons of teens out with me - but we were not at the movies. {nm} TwoMisfits Dec 15, 19:39

If you can handle -2 degree good for you. It's been my experience most people can't. But then SW fans may not care. {nm} JDolphin Dec 15, 20:08

It's like Flying, the worst part is getting to the airport haha. Who knows what effect it will have. As a personal note.... tomcat90 Dec 15, 18:04

I can see not caring about the backstory behind movies you didn't grow up with (like we probably all did) {nm} PlayItAgainSam Dec 16, 05:40

Cold? Not a deterrent. Massive snowstorm, which the Midwest gets this weekend? Definite deterrent. {nm} PlayItAgainSam Dec 16, 05:38

But zero effect on the Thursday number since no storm yet - if anything, the coming storm should have pushed Thursday a little higher... TwoMisfits Dec 16, 05:41

Rouge two: the phantom blemish PlayItAgainSam Dec 15, 17:14

Attendance comparison Rogue vs. 7 Goines12 Dec 15, 17:19

second update: currently estimated in the middle of the range at $30m {nm} slipping jimmy Dec 15, 18:11

I don't see how it does less than BvS, 29-32 is my current range for previews {nm} MattW Dec 15, 18:34
