Yeah. I guess I wasn't thinking about tablets or phones when I did it because I don't have one. I actually took your formatting from one of your other threads and altered it accordingly until it fit my screen perfectly. If there is one single more character on any line it will wrap.

This will be a "problem" once we get to week 10, but it's easy enough to just shave another letter off of the days of the week. Instead of just using the abbreviations I had just shortened them down enough to make everything fit.


You're saying the green and red don't show up well on a handheld device though?

Do Right, Be Right. :)

You might think so, but I clearly stated that is not the case with your posts. In the one post I specified, the extra characters wrap. In another post, the same number of characters which wrapped in the first example no longer wrap, they just continue off the page or outside the window (I think JO calls it a breakout or jailbreak). I don't know how you did that.

The same numbers that fits nicely on one format do not fit the same on another. I don't know if iFruit displays differently. I had to ask you numerous times how you saw my tables, because I did not have a monitor which produced the same width as yours did. I had to use the number of characters which you said fit. I assumed that more folk than only you had similar display.

Also, with the handhelds, turning from portrait to landscape changes the autosizing. If I see a posted table which is not looking the way I indended, I can turn to portrait, and once that is showing, turn back to landscape, and the autosizing will make the table fit if it is shown onscreen at the time. I have learned to use the display stabilization row to help this function be more predictable, otherwise i can get stuck with a display I cannot read well.

Even on monitor, green does not show up as vibrant as lime or 55ff00. Do you not think so?

I mostly read on the handheld, so the red does not stand out well. But yesterday I noticed red does not suffer on the monitor so much.

In this quoted post from 14 Jan, on my handheld device the 2nd table work-wraps. But on your other posts, starting 17 Jan, I don't get word-wrap, the table just continues off the page for the last 2 columns of data. I don't know how you did this, what was different. Perhaps this post with a change of font size mid-post is treated different than those without font size changed mid-post. Or something. On a handheld, turning it portrait or landscape makes the auto-sizing jump some. To combat this, and to help get the screen-sizing function to give the maximum readable image fitted to screen, I apply one line in the designated font and size to all "X"s, for the length that works best - and I state that this is "display stabilization row". With your TV monitor, this is likely not an issue, nor can you really adjust for it or tune it right.



I see now that the red shows up well here in bold on monitor, but on my handheld it still is not as vibrant as the others.

8th Monday is first sub $200,000 day.

$198,221

Joker didn't see a sub $200,000 day until Monday of the 9th week.

Only $114 per theater as well... 38% of Saturday night. If it falls to 33% of Saturday night and they haven't axed theaters like they did mid week for week eight on Joker, they'll fall to double digits on Thursday.



Should be a pretty quick and steady fall from here on out. Birds of Prey wasn't much competition, especially with that R rating, but Sonic comes out this weekend.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

Yeah... It's strange man. The table looks fine on my display, in both of my browsers. I just assumed that everybody else could see it just fine too. Don't know what I could do about it since if I fixed it for one display I'll just break it for another.

Shame. :(

I even forgot that I can't even see what I post myself.


Anyhow, the solution that I resorted to was making it narrow enough for anybody to see, and then it is merely narrower for others - there is no real point to make it maximum width, if it's not standardized. Often, when it is narrower, the auto-sizing function lets it be larger to fill the screen.

I'll probably just update the next graph to have 3 letter week days. It will save three spaces, but once we get into week 10 it will only save 2. Is 2 enough from what you're seeing, or how many would it need. I'm sure there is something else I can shorten.




It looks like they didn't cut theaters on Wednesday. I didn't really think they would. It's a really weak box office right now. Might as well just ride out the week.

I'm guessing that Episode 9 is going to be spared a double digit per theater number tonight. Had Birds of Prey been anything that anybody wanted to see that wouldn't have been the case, but last night it did $109 per theater. The Wednesday-to-Thursday night drops have been pretty stabilized for the last three weeks, so it will probably end up with $104 or $105 per theater tonight.


Joker cut an additional 52 theaters in the 9th week to drop to 1,146. It will be interesting to see if Disney brings it down to around that number or chooses to keep it higher than Joker in light of the weak box office. If it weren't to cut any next week, which is still unlikely, it would be showing at exactly 600 more theaters than Joker was.


EDITED TO ADD:

I shortened the days of the week, pre-added the additional space that will be required in week 10, and I shortened TROSw to simply EP9. It will be 4 less characters per line now. How does this look for you JSF?

B.O.DAY = Day of the week / which week by number

You could easily round off the Gross to the nearest thousand - the $/T is the figure you are really comparing, anyhow. That would save 8 spots.

Maybe if absolutely necessary. Up until now that's not a bad idea, but as the weeks drag on those thousands/hundreds numbers are going to get more interesting.

Joker, BTW, is still in theaters as we speak. It's just rounding out it's 19th consecutive week in the box office tonight.

In mid January it was only being shown in 85 theaters, but Oscar hype brought it back to 854 for a time. It's certainly going to be cut down from the current 504 theaters showing it since it only made about $20 per night during the week per theater. The question is, will they remove it entirely from theaters or does it still have a chance to have a Box Office run as long as Avengers: End Game was?

Just one more week and it will.

Do Right, Be Right. :)
