Even with Barbie adding theaters and Disney's Haunted Mansion movie coming out this week, SoF added yet another 126 theaters to bring the count up to 3,411.
My old man today said that he heard it was also going to be opening in Australia and some Latin American countries outside of Mexico.
I don't see anything about those other Latin American countries, but I do see that Australia AND Spain are now on the international release list.

It appears that SoF already opened in Australia on the 24th although no numbers have come in yet. The Spain release date is October 11th.

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.
For the days when working folk are not working...

Quote:Last night Tim Ballard was the featured guest on the mark Levin Radio Show.Quote:DR is $8.0M behind SoF in Domestic BO, and falling.
Will DR Domestic BO ever catch up to SoF?
He shared that the scene where he talked to his wife on the phone from Columbia was not accurate. It was actually his wife who decided what he should do, saying something like "Don't you dare jeapordize the Eternal Salvation of your Soul by leaving those kids down there and not rescuing them."

979% for SoF. 1,000% for Insidious after Thursday night.
SoF is 21% behind Insidious (which is still getting at least 6%-10% per day still).
SoF is 376% behind Super Mario Bros. (which is getting about nil % per day now).
SoF is 496% behind M3GAN (which hasn't been in the BO for months now).
Weakest day in the Domestic Box Office for SoF so far with just under $2.6 Million.
It should overcome Insidious after Saturday night. It might not have actually beat M3GAN with just the Domestic Box Office alone, or SMB for that matter, but with the additional money it will generate overseas it shouldn't be a problem reaching number one for the year as long as Barbie runs out of steam and doesn't hold on like SMB did.
I won't be able to update much if anything with the third list that I created which states how much money a movie made a studio after the Rule of Thumb is applied. I was expecting to be able to make some updates on that this weekend, but some movies are just stubbornly persisting in a very small amount of theaters even though their runs are essentially done. The Little Mermaid will still be in 208 theaters, Super Mario Bros will be in 96 theaters, The Flash will be in 80 and Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol 3 will be in 50 theaters.

The Numbers is taking a long time to post SoF Box Office for Friday.
NOTIFY: Y | REPLY | REPLY WITH QUOTE | PERMALINK | TOP | HOME
Yeah. This is abnormally long to get movie numbers, for any day of the week.
BoxOfficeMojo has SoF at a projected $4 Million on Friday.
With that number, SoF will be at 1,007%, and Insidious: The Red Door would be at $1006%, meaning that SoF just barely snagged 3rd on the return list, a full day earlier than I expected it to.
So if BOM is correct, so are these numbers...
SoF is 1% ahead of Insidious, taking 3rd place on the Returns list.
SoF is 348% behind Super Mario Bros. (which is getting about nil % per day now).
SoF is 468% behind M3GAN (which hasn't been in the BO for months now).
Also, to note, although SoF has been in Australian theaters since the 24th, there are still no numbers out of Australia added to the total yet. 3 days from now, SoF will be showing in the UK and Mexico as well.
I probably won't bother fixing the above numbers if it changes slightly since it's not part of one of the official lists. I'll just have the updated numbers on all three lists hopefully on Monday.

Weird...
10:30 on a Saturday night and Bruce still doesn't have Friday night's SoF projected numbers up.
Never seen that happen before.

Well it's up today...
SoF projected for $3698,514 on Friday. (oddly specific for a projection that usually ends in "000", but not unheard of.).
So no, SoF did not take 3rd place from Insidious on Friday night.

After Saturday's projections:

After Sunday's projections:
SoF had 1,064; Insidious had 1,019%
Still no international numbers from Australia's July 24th launch for SOF. It will open in Mexico tomorrow and the UK on Tuesday.
Without any help overseas, it is now solidly 3rd place on the returns list.
SoF needs 291% to beat Super Mario Bros.
SoF needs 411% to beat M3GAN.
Disney's Haunted Mansion, laughably, will not be a threat. Barbie, OTOH, is already sitting at 775% worldwide return on the $100 Million budget in just 10 days with just a 43% drop projected from last weekend. As I've stated before in other threads, studios tend to downplay projections on blockbuster movies in their first few weeks when they're raking in the big bucks, so I wouldn't be surprised if that number is actually as low as only a 38 or 39% drop from last weekend when the legit numbers are in.

Astroturfing is the use of fake grassroots efforts that primarily focus on influencing public opinion and typically are funded by corporations and political entities.
If the theaters are full and shows are completely sold out, then why is no one seated inside?
However, a friend of mine went, she could have gotten as many free tickets as she wanted from her church, and she said her showing was Sold Out,but there were many seats empty for the show.
I am not familiar with this Pay It Forward method of ticketing, how the mechanics of iot work. But if if I heard a story about how radical deviant Libtards were scarfing up free tickets in order to prevent honest and deserving folk from actually seeing the film, I can say that I would not be shocked.
And then those perpetrating this result can promote false conspiracy theories about it - just like Russia Russian Collusion, which was the result of their game.

How you do anything is how you do everything.
I expect Barbie to get $110-120M from today to next Sunday, getting up to about 1,000%.
The following 7 days only about $70-80M, for another 170%.
Not sure if Barbie will catch up to SoF. Barbie will drop below the 100% per week faster than SoF will, I expect.
In 3 weeks SoF will release in Australia.
In a month, will release in Mexico and UK. 6 weeks later in Spain. And more dates keep popping up.
Not sure if SoF will pass by SMB before 13 August, but it should by 20 August.

I don't know if I'd just jump to the conclusion that "Libtards" scarfed up free tickets to prevent honest and deserving folk from actually seeing the flick. It could just be that people weren't even aware there were free tickets to be had and/or they didn't even hear about the movie. The amount of Americans that pay attention to any news on either side is staggeringly low. Angel Studios didn't advertise this movie pretty much anywhere other than Christian radio and it would have slipped by virtually unheard of just a few years ago.
It's one thing to buy up a ton of tickets and have them available at theaters for people to watch for free, but entirely another to spread the message that they're out there. I'm sure that Angel Studios and Jim were tweeting like mad about it, but it didn't go any further than that. Angel Studios didn't take any of that huge amount of extra money they just got in their bank account to advertise free tickets to people anywhere they needed to pay to get that word out, and I'm pretty sure most of the folk who would be rushing to the theater to see it either already had money of their own to pay for a ticket or had already seen it.
I mean, think about it... If you knew of the free tickets that the person you knew was talking about, would you have taken the free tickets or would you have further supported the movie by buying a ticket when you saw it again?
My guess is that most of them just went unused. I mean, these things weren't just out there in perpetuity. They probably went to buy specific seats on specific nights, whether that theater was going to sell out or not. I'll bet that big chains like AMC just took all those online purchases and spread them out in the theaters in the showings that weren't selling out once the movie stopped selling out. From a business standpoint there's no reason for them to announce to oblivious people who are very ready to pay for the showing that their ticket was already paid for, or for them to hold on to all those "free" tickets until the end of the movie run, and I doubt very much there is any law on any books stating that is what they need to do with them.
That being said, it could have happened on some level and at some locations. I remember before the last election there were TDS suffering Leftists that were doing the same thing and grabbing up a bunch of free tickets to a Trump rally and then not showing up.
This isn't the first time I'd heard of this Pay it Forward thing being done with movie tickets. There were marketing campaigns for Captain Marvel along these lines. Buying up tickets so that little girls who's parents couldn't afford to take them to the theaters could go see what a strong independent woman looks like on the big screen. Just as there is now with SoF, there was empty sold out theaters for Captain Marvel back in 2019 as well.
