'Joker' or 'Sound of Freedom' or 'Nonstop Vomiting and Diarrhea' are all equally undesirable experiences, but to pay in order to see 'Sound of Freedom' makes the experience worse.

It should also be noted that even though SoF had no prayer of beating MI7 and likely never will for even a single day (words I don't imagine I'll be eating), now that we know Preview Night numbers are wrapped up into opening night numbers, MI7 made $8,516,660 on Wednesday night, and $7,000,000 on Tuesday night for a grand total of $15,516,660. SoF is holding its own against the its first actual successful blockbuster with a same two-day total of $8,253,957, or 53.2% of what MI7 pulled in.
Not to shabby against a 27-year-old-and-still-going-strong Tom Cruise franchise movie that had a 2071% higher production budget.
On the 6th day of release for Dead Reckoning, DR earned an average of $1,226 per theater.
Sound of Freedom earned $1,518 per theater, on it's 2nd Monday.
Again... I don't think this was a bold prediction. SoF is just breaking all the established rules.
It's insane to see that SoF is beating MI7 in Per Theater take only 6 days into MI7's release, with $1,518 in 3,265 theaters vs. MI7's $1,226 in 4,327 theaters. I'm not surprised that SoF was crushing woke trash like Indy 5 or Elemental coming out of Disney, but to already be beating a Tom Cruise/Mission Impossible movie per-theater when MI7 hasn't even been out a full week is jaw-dropping.
I've always been rooting for this movie, but I'm now done underestimating it. It's obviously already blown way past my $60-70 Million total take prediction and not only isn't slowing down but appears to still be picking up steam. It was only $349,292 shy of beating MI7 in the Domestic Box Office on Monday.
Quote:
How many days before DR falls below SoF in Domestic Box Office? I think it will hold for Tuesday, but watch out Wednesday.
I honestly can't say. You may be right. I have no historical data here to draw from since this is completely uncharted territory. I can't even make any predictions about where this film is going to go in the future anymore.
Jim Cavezeal has mentioned that international release dates will be a thing and they will be announced soon, and "Sound of Freedom Movie" has posted "International Release dates coming soon!" on Facebook.
Like I said in the updated lists post, SoF would need to make around $188 Million for 2nd place and $207 Million for 1st place on the 2023 Production Budget vs. Worldwide Box Office.
I'd say that depending on how well the international release goes it should make it, but at this point I'm not even entirely sure that it needs an international release to achieve those numbers.

$5,449,143 on Cheap Seat Tuesday, for a total gross of $96,182,705.
It didn't come close to MI7's $7,273,490, but it did beat MI7's per theater number by $8 yesterday.
At a 42% increase from last Tuesday, that marks a full 7 days where it made more money than it did the week prior. (9%, 24%, 44%, 42%, 31%, 24%, 42%) If there is another movie that has done this in the past, I'd love to know what it is.
686% of Production Budget now, up from 650% yesterday. It's now 5th place on the list of Worldwide Box Office vs Production Budget, and it still hasn't been released anywhere outside of the US. It will overtake Evil Dead Rise for 4th place on the list Friday night.
And with Insidious: The Red Door finally slowing down, it shouldn't be long before it catches up and takes 3rd place. I:tRD increased from 775% to 788% last night. (36% vs 13% is nearly a 3-to-1 increase for SoF over I:tRD.
If SoF doesn't catch Insidious by Sunday night, it almost certainly will when we get Monday's numbers.
And at that point it should only be less than 500% away from SMB and probably almost exactly 600% under M3GAN.

They just turned black for the weekend.
Sunday SoF jumped up to highest take per screen, beating Indy5 and Red Door. It was estimated behind Red Door.
Also, every single day since release, SoF has more $ per screen that Indy5.
Even when it added more than 13% more theaters for the weekend.

Quote:Again, DR was not given #1 ranking until SoF figures were posted. I see the chart showing $1,669 per theater for SoF, and 1,681 for DR.Quote:So, this front-loading theory of yours - how long does it last?
I suspect that this movie was pretty front-loaded on viewership and don't really expect it to stay in theaters all that long, but with good word of mouth it should have a pretty decent first weekend in theaters and very easily jump past that predicted $20 Million in the first 6 days of release with more than $14.2 Million already under its belt on Tuesday.
Does it pull ahead of Red Door $/screen over the weekend?
I don't expect it to take out MI:8.
Will SoF fall behind Indy5 and Red Door in $/screen?
How else do you measure?
------------------------------
I've been poking around the Bruce Wokenash site the last few weeks. I noticed that when the undisputed #1 has figures released, he marks it as #1 right away, and those beneath it remain unranked until further confirmed. Usually the top 4 get ranked after SoF figures are posted.
However, today when DR figures were posted, it did not have the #1 ranking yet, because Wokenash was finally uncertain enough that SoF had not been better.
I found that humorous.

I went to a movie last night, and I made some observations.
First off, the prices.
I realized that I have been so busy this year, that I may have not been to a Tuesday showing since December. Back then, at the marcus Theater chain, all movies were $5, all showtimes, all screens. Super Dooper ultra Deluxe Uber S[piffy? still $5. And with a Rewards card, free complimentary sized popcorn - which generally lasted me for a film length.
When I went to SoF on July 4, I fond out the Tuesday prices had changed. Now $6 per ticket - with Rewards Card, otherwise $7 - and only for regular screens. Super Dooper was at a premium now, but with Rewards Card a 50% discount in the upgrade price. No free popcorn, but with Rewards Card a 20% discount on concessions.
Last night all 10 showings (from the day) of SoF were sold out, the 9:50 showing Sold Out more than 40 min before showtime.
DR had 4 showings at once, including both of the Super Dooper high capacity screens.
I saw 160 seats, with 2 sold. Plus 160 seats, with 21 sold, plus 18 seats sold of 75 seats.

Everything costs more with Biden*omics.
Pretty soon we'll all be making $100 per hour or more, but it will cost $50 for a gallon of milk and everyone's savings will be more or less wiped out because it isn't worth anything anymore.
You will own nothing and like it.

7% increase from last Wednesday makes it 8 days in a row where it made more money than the same day the week prior.
Wednesday: $4,722,496

And at that point it should only be less than 500% away from SMB and probably almost exactly 600% under M3GAN.
Sound of Freedom is now 721% Box Office vs. Production Budget.
Insidious is now 800% Box Office vs. Production Budget.
4th place, Evil Dead Rise got 768% before it was out of theaters.
SoF takes 4th place from EDR on Friday night.
SoF will take 3rd place from Insidious on Saturday night, but with a caveat that probably does not amount to anything... Insidious is still doing business internationally and those numbers are always lagging. They do appear to be updated from between the 17th and 19th for the countries that are listed, but there is no dates for the "Rest of World" stat.
I don't think it matters though. By Saturday night my guess is that SoF is around 860% and Insidious is around 840%. By Sunday night it will look more like 910% for SoF and 855% for Insidious, and I don't think any international update could claw back 3rd place at that point.
It will be around 450% behind SMB and 575% behind M3GAN by the end of the weekend. Likely less than that.

Quote:Will DR Domestic BO ever catch up to SoF?
Will SoF add more theaters tomorrow?
Today there was a long delay in the posting of MI:DR Box Office. They even needed to wait a couple hours after SoF figures were posted - as if they needed time to go scrounge up some extra ballots in a Libtard-controlled city, to eek out a slightly bigger BO than SoF.
Bruce Wokenash must be off his game, knocked out of his routine. Yesterday he never got around to ranking the films by their Box Office. Not sure how that works, I had conjured it was an automatic programming thing.
I suspect today, Thursday, SoF will take the lead for the Domestic BO for the day.
