on and off the past few weeks, ive been counting tix sales at some Michigan theaters. these are multiplexes in decent sized cities like grand rapids, so they should be at least somewhat indicitive of national trends, however...

2D tickets sold combined at 8 theaters:

It 3980

Annabelle Creation 810

Dark Tower 631

Hitmans Bodyguard 606

Blade Runner 440

American Assassin 332

(dont have KTSS2 or AmMade)

Blade runner did have 3 imaxs sold 270 tix (i dont have the other imax comps)

so if thursday was $4M, with 800K from imax, then these MI theaters underperformed the national average by like 40%+ ?!?

how could we be that far off?

was BR2049 a NY/LA smash and middle america not care?

or did they fudge the numbers? they did get some nice press how $4M was bigger than martian, gravity, etc

just a statistical blip?

any thoughts appreciated

Wow, who had the .OW held correctly? Honestly I thought it would pass tracking easily an the good reviews would be enough to push it over 50 {nm} MattW Oct 07, 05:53

I flipped on Thursday night post-screening. I though it would do $40 easy so I kept CALL & PUT where I had them. Oops. {nm} Wellespring Oct 07, 06:42

I flipped wednesday at 50.93, sold off the CA, but have PU short... I thought 47 or so... slappydavid Oct 07, 07:02

me! {nm} fork Oct 07, 07:15

I shorted it on 9/244/17 at $44.77 RazorHawk Oct 07, 07:25

thursday night at 52.25 fork Oct 07, 07:29

not, i {nm} tatoufan Oct 07, 07:36

Thankfully I dumped the OW stock. {nm} -JPV- Oct 07, 07:49

OW still long here, unfortunately. I really thought it would exceed expectations rather than sink. Shame! {nm} ladybegood Oct 07, 08:51

Happy that I sold the OW at 52, but sadly did not short it. I didn't think it would get much above 52 so not worth the risk to hold it. {nm} JDolphin Oct 07, 13:05

The 1st was a box office flop & a true cult classic. I think only sci-fi and jamesbik333 Oct 07, 07:27

Fri. morning update, down to $32.6m. {nm} slipping jimmy Oct 07, 08:11

Ugh, that's painful to see {nm} MattW Oct 07, 08:12

Whoa, 12.7 off of a 4m Thursday?!? This is almost comical {nm} MattW Oct 07, 08:13

Have to wonder if Universal is re-thinking of doing a remake of Dune. {nm} -JPV- Oct 07, 08:36

Colin Treverrow time! {nm} slipping jimmy Oct 07, 08:41
