I worked from 1 to 7 again, so here is a comparision in admissions rate.

Yesterday / Today

Wallace and Gromit - 104 admits / 415 admits (5 showtimes)
In Her Shoes - 130 admits / 248 admits (5 showtimes)
Two for the Money - 134 admits / 189 admits (5 showtimes)
Gospel - 38 admits / 137 admits (3 showtimes)
Wating - 88 admits / 113 admits(2 showtimes)
Proof - 23 admits / 74 admits (2 showtimes)

Great comeback for Wallace and Gospel. Good for In Her Shoes and Proof, but Average for Two for the Money.

Also.

Flightplan - 142 admits / 201 admits (5 showtimes)
Corpse Bride - 90 admits / 392 admits (6 showtimes)
Serenity - 52 admits / 260 admits (5 showtimes)
Into the Blue - 102 admits / 148 admits (5 showtimes)

As you see, Wallace and Gromit destroyed the competition today. The matinees really soared today. In fact, Saturday in general looks to have rebounded from yesterday. (Just an FYI, Yesterday hit the all time low for Friday). I think the fact that the Angels game got cancelled really helped us.

Wow! Those look good! Serenity rose 400%. Thats huge for THE GOSPEL.

I expected Gospel to be more of a matinee movie. I bet Sunday matinees will be huge cause of church groups.

All in all, it was a rather uneventful Saturday. Friday was rainy and we had no UT game, so it may have been inflated. But we still saw some good increases in movies like Serenity (nerds don't watch sports? hehe), 40 Year Old Virgin, Into the Blue, Just Like Heaven, and Wallace and Gromit. Waiting literally collapsed today, kinda crazy!

After friday's unfortunately strong week-to-week hold, if it somehow manages to rise by anywhere near this much across the country then it's really quite sad to be honest. A lot of great films have opened low recently and most of them haven't recovered well. Now this piece of shit's actually getting a decent drop? Out of everything that could get one? This?

Amos, the box office is always cruel.

I'm bitteraly upset with IN HER SHOES.

No offense to you JMorphin and it was interesting seeing the results from your theater for sure but I doubt they will end up being very accurate in general for most of those movies (in terms of Saturday drops and increases). A lot of the ones with drops will have increases, some even really big increases.

That is an amazing increase for SERENITY at Scott's theater and I really hope it ends up having a nice Saturday increase. It would be really impressive if it ended up dropping below 50% for the weekend, especially with all of the competition.


Yes, IN HER SHOES did do disappointing, but it should have great legs.

Hmmm, JMorphin's theatre doesn't really seem to attract lots of Saturday audiences, hehe.

You guys, I told you my theater is very affected by UT games in my post (since it is a strong college business theater), so yes, this time, my crowd report won't tell you much, at least for that demographic. I just happened to work three 9 hour shifts in a row this weekend, so I was able to get all the numbers for your reading pleasure.

So now you can all see what a UT game can do...4 movies actually increased on Sunday, while three others dropped 10% or less. Columbus Day may also have an effect, but if you look at the matinee numbers, they blow past Saturday's, so maybe it's not really that. On the other hand, I really can't explain the Gospel, is it bad WOM? or what?

Thanks for all the crowd reports this weekend, JMorphin...

hey no problem, just can't wait till harry potter comes out so i can post more sellouts

For comparisons sake, I'd point out that Diary of a Mad Black Woman fell 41.1% on it's first Sunday.

Actually a lot of Christain religions believe Sunday should be a day of rest. And you are meant to do things with family and stuff. It may have a good weekday hold.

Passion of the Christ did great on Sundays.
