The Wild looks to be the next disappointment and the first CGI film since Valiant to really disappoint although it's certain to do better than that film did.

The prints per theater for The Wild are worse than I expected. If the estimated count of 2,700 holds, $13M is probably all it can do.

2 screens usually never happen at this theater for non-blockbuster films, especially outside of the summer season. That's damn impressive.

My theater (dont work there, but my cousin does and he told me what was going on so far.)

The biggest ones are 350 seaters (thre are 8) and Scary Movie 4 is booked in 4 and the wild is booked in 1.

Scary Movie 4- (all shows are in 350 seaters)
11:15am- 9%
11:45am- 12%
12:15am- 11%
1:15- 23%
1:45- 41%
2:15- 38%
2:45- 31%
3:45- 57%
4:15- 44%
4:45- 46% (not counting people that come late)
5:15- 38% (so far)
That is really good.

The Wild (all shows in a 350 seater)
11:05am- 3%
1:20- 15%
3:30- 8%

NOT GOOD

Overall scary movie 4 should sell out pretty much every night show and expect it to make at least 15-18 mil on friday if not more.

The Wild looks to be a major flop over here.

Scary Movie 4
2:45, 500-seater: 5% full

Trailers: (due to the small crowd, there was no reaction, but here's the line-up)

Clerks II
Pulse
The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift
Poseidon

Film:

Much more consistent than Scary Movie 3, and I know I laughed more often in the first ten minutes than the entirety of Date Movie. If slows down a bit in the middle, and the repeat of the "kid-is-constantly-abused" gag isn't nearly as funny this time around (instead of David Dorfman, they pick on Dakota Fanning), but it picks up a lot by the end. It also does a much better job of spoofing The Grudge than SM3 did spoofing The Ring.

Does that theater tend to have a small amount of people in the afternoon?

No, but SM4's on three screens, with basically a showing every half hour. The "early rush" crowds would've seen it closer to 11 a.m. or noon.

Saw a 1:40 showing of Scary Movie 4.
In a 318 seater it probably 1/6 full, which is pretty good I suppose.

Trailers were... Nacho Libre, Little Man (yeesh.), Pulse, and a few more that I can't recall.

Crowd reaction was pretty good...

I didn't think the movie was as horrendous as the 3rd but its not a huge step up. It does get amusing and there are some scenes that I chuckled at but... its still pretty meh. I'd give it a C/C-.

Scary Movie 4
7 pm
about 70% full (which is good for the theater I go to)

trailers -
Poseidon
Nacho Libre (this looks so bad)
Little Man (this looks even worse)
Pulse (shouldn't this be direct to DVD?)
The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (the new guy does really look a lot like Paul Walker)
Clerks II

I don't remember any real exciting crowd reaction to them, other than some poor soul cheering when they saw Nacho Libre was directed by the guy who did Napoleon Dynamite. The standard laughing at the comedy trailers, probably the most for Clerks II.

anyway as for the movie I thought it was about on par with what I expected. Nothing great, nothing horrible but aside from Scary Movie 2 (which falls into the horrible category) this basically describes the entire series. There are some pretty funny moments, and it's fairly consistent with the laughs but nothing that really sticks out as being as funny as the best moments in the first or third film. The Million Dollar Baby spoof was the highlight for me, I swear no one else was laughing though! and the Oprah bit at the end was funny, but since I saw most of it in previews it didn't pack as much of a punch as it could have. I give it a B- overall.

Typical crowd reaction I suppose, wasn't really paying attention. The audience mostly looked like that of a high school pep rally.

Scary Movie 4 @ 6:45 - 60% full in 300 seater.

Not a very good film at all. Anna Faris is so annoyingly dumb her attempts at humor are tiresome and the films made fun of are too old for the most part. The Village is so yesterday's news. Only BBM could really be considered up to date. The WOTW plotline was dull, just like the movie being spoofed was. The Saw gags were the funniest by far but still the film is not worth the time.

Grade - D

Scary Movie 4
8:45 show, 400-seat auditorium, 60% full (a little puzzling it wasn't more crowded if it's supposedly headed for a $20M+ opening day; it could be the fact that it was Spring Break this week or the fact that it was on 4 screens, but I didn't see a single sellout tonight).

Trailers
Nacho Libre (laughs)
Little Man (congratulations, Wayans - you have made the *worst* looking movie ever)
Clerks II (a pretty good amount of chatter, people took notice when they showed the Quick Stop sign)
The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (I heard groans; who is even in this movie?!)
Poseidon (nothing)
The Omen (reaction when Damien is all "Bye" while Julia Stiles is hanging off the rail; also, chatter when they showed the 6/6/06 date)
Pulse (chatter)

Movie
Heh, I enjoyed myself. It gives you what you'd expect. It's a step up from the third film, which was in turn a large step up from the awful second movie. I'd peg it at about a B- or C+.

It doesn't really need the sellouts.
for it to have a 20 million opening day in the 3602, it only need to make 5552$ per theatre.
Now that might seem like a lot, but more theaters have it playing on many screen.
Your theatre has it on 4, which is approx. 20 showings for the day....
if you divide 5552 by 20, that's only 277$ per showing, or approx. 55 people on avg per showing.

Now, ofcourse not every place will have it on four screens, but for a place like yours it explains why there might not be sellouts, even if it is heading for a 20 million opneing...

Hope I did all the math right there...

Here are some Scary Movie 4 sellouts I found on Fandango earlier today and just recently (I actually didn't see many sellouts tonight when I checked twice today. This could be due to the fact that most theaters have the film on 2-4 screens, lessening the sell-out potential as a result. Libs noted this possibility also):

In my area:

Carmike 16 (Allentown, PA)- 7:15, 8:00, 8:15, 9:15, and 10:00 shows ALL sold out

Regal Manor 16 (Lancaster, PA)- 7:05

R/C Hanover Movies- 7:45

In other states:

Loews E-Walk (NYC)- 7:45, 11:45

Regal Medlock Crossing 18 (Duluth, GA)- 7:45
