Post Last Jedi presale discussion
Aw, remember when we had sell out threads? Been awhile.

Just wanted to make this thread 'cause tickets are on sale and from what I see the reserved seating is filling up really quickly around me.

Calling it "The Last..." will always make it seem more important. I think this could get north of $800m.

Should be getting updates soon. It was in MT top 5 for most of the week.

Justice League flopping will surely benefit this. There's tens of millions of people who sat out JL and will be starved for a major event film.

So it seems like it may come way below TFA for previews, but less far behind for the overall weekend?

I'm not sure it's that. I did presales for the first time with TFA, and did it 2 days before, and got the best seats possible.

There are just way too many screenings for it. I think people realized it's not going to be that hard to see the film from a decent spot. You just need to know the theater.

Jesus, 44 showings in one fucking day. That's insane, and will never be sold out.

Depends where you’re seeing it. In LA the Fan Event pricing isn’t any more expensive than a standard IMAX ticket.

Deadline is saying 200m opening, although maybe they mean 210m+ cause they say it'll be the second biggest opening but do not mention JW or Avengers.

What's the bar for success/failure on this..$150m opening? $180m? It's not going to reach TFA levels.

It should clear $200m without much fuss. I'd be surprised with anything less. It will likely challenge Jurassic World for No.2 OW of all time.

It should reach $200m OW yes but I hope it doesn't get #2 OW record.

Thursday is going to be vastly different this time round, still matching/beating TFA throughout the wknd.

BJ, did you track Rogue One? I'm curious to see how Last Jedi's numbers size up against that film, since it still pulled $29m in previews.

Looks like Friday is on par but with more showings TLJ could still catch up

I'm beginning to have some very mixed opinions on performance

TFA was a game changer. I would have preferred a longer gap between TFA & TLJ with no Rogue One release in between. Thinking 190-200 OW as of now.

We're a decent amount off the pace of TFA here. At this point, looking like $210-220m range but still time for the needle to move.

Surprisingly high number of seats still available for Thursday night previews, definitely more than VII at the same leadtime.

I did not record the data, but I can confirm that TLJ is blowing rogue one away.

Calm before the storm update. With 48 sold out showings going into the films opening wk, this is a new record for sellouts pre-release here in Anchorage besting potter7.2 which had 33 pre-release sellouts at night of release.


TLJ Still running slightly ahead on fri-sun, and good to see it making up a lot of ground on Thursday, could eventually match TFA in the end.

Plenty of tickets still left here too. I haven't even decided if I'm going Thursday yet, but I know if I did I could still buy a ticket tomorrow for a 7:00 showing and be good.
