From boxoffice - Wrath of the Titans is currently responsible for just 2 percent of daily sales on Fandango. That is a weak number, though to be fair, films aimed at the older fanboy action crowd don't always post strong pre-sales figures. Mirror Mirror is currently responsible for 4 percent of daily sales on Fandango. That is an encouraging sign given that the figure currently ranks behind only The Hunger Games (albeit very far behind).

Sounds pretty poor for Titans and with the weak twitter buzz this is starting to look like GH2 all over again. Very promising for Mirror Mirror though.

John Carter will suffer big again, IMO. It will lose its remaining 3D screens to Wrath of the Titans, lose a ton of theatres overall (its PTA is shitty)


Checked several local theaters and Carter goes down to 2-3 shows at all of them starting Friday. It should be pretty much out of first run theaters by next weekend.

That's ridiculous that two wide openers are only making 2% and 4% in online sales. Hunger Games is at 76%.

Maybe people just don't feel they need to buy their tickets in advance for Wrath and Mirror Mirror. I know I wouldn't.

Agreed.....these movies aren't really going to sell out too many showings. I hardly ever buy tickets in advance.

I wanna see Wrath of the Titans but don't have the urgency to buy my tickets now like there usually is for bigger event movies.

Thurs Fandango

1. The Hunger Games 71%
2. Mirror Mirror 7%
3. Wrath of the Titans 6%
4. 21 Jump Street 4%
5. The Lorax 2%

Stunning number still for HG - the highest (otherwise) 2nd weekend I know of is Alice's 63%, and Avatar was 61%.

Evidence that it is now getting more the HP crowd than Twi. It's getting the older males. Nice.

They shouldn't be tracking Piranha. It's not a wide release.

You can track anything, if you so desire. Just that their tracking methods obviously are horrible. I'm sure it will be a wide release... no reason not to be anyway.

It will be released on VOD simultaneously which apparently means it's not getting a wide release.

Most theaters won't show a movie that is also VOD. And it's listed as limited on Box Office Mojo. I couldn't really see more than 300 theaters, and that isn't enough to get it what they're tracking it at.

Jeff, Who Lives At Home is also adding quite a few theaters. +259 for a total of 513. Sadly it seems unlikely it will make the top 10. Unless somewhere around $800,000 (my prediction) would be enough to get it there. It could be possible.
