It’s barely afternoon on Saturday as I read this - I don’t get how they can decide it bombed already. Feels like someone’s trying to make it bomb.
The movie is critical of capitalism, it wouldn’t surprise me.
Honestly had little interest in this but you just sold me on it
Never heard of this movie but I too am now interested!
havent watched this one yet, but arent these usually sprinkled with some anticommunism and doomerism to compensate for it?
Ticket sales pre-orders.
If Friday’s pre-sales = x% final sales, and you know pre-sales for Sat/Sun, you can roughly predict the weekend.
Yep. Literally decades of sales data is used to predict various aspects of a films revenue.
Not just weekend sales but weekly drop off can be accurately predicted.
They often know how a movie will be perceived well before it hits theaters and use that determine how much to spend on promoting it.
They release these on Saturday or early Sunday pretty frequently, projected from presales, previews, and Friday #s. They can be a little off but they’re usually pretty close.
