Bolt 22 Nov 2008 17:06 #30410

ttroidl OFFLINE Platinum Boarder Posts: 350 Thank you received: 2 Karma: 1	Is it just the weather up here near Buffalo the past two days or what? I had expected sell outs or at least close to it, yet we have had less than 1/3 of our seats filled! While it's NOT a Pixar flick, it looks cute enough, and everyone leaving seems to have enjoyed it (love the hamster) where are the crowds? Just curious if everyone has had simular turnouts? or is it just us!

By far my favorite aspect of the operations side of this business is Rentrak's website.

Today I was concerned about how poorly both Bolt and Twilight were performing. But right now I am feeling much better as Twilight has dropped by what seems to my recollection a significant amount. (I beleive Rentrak is reporting a 44% drop as of right now nationally). Bolt also performed for us like our peers.

So do you use rentrak's website? If not, why not!!!

But you can't base NY box office to small towns, I swear people go no matter what movie is playing on the weekends here and sellout showings!

rufusjack OFFLINE Platinum Boarder Posts: 1353 Thank you received: 26 Karma: -6	You can see how almost all theaters in your area are doing on a particular title. For example there are 59 theaters playing Bolt in my branch. Towns from 3000 populations on up. 70 playing Madagascar this weekend. If you are not sure how to use the website, Rentrak staff are great in helping you learn how to use it.

Word of mouth should help it stay steady through Thanksgiving in my area, as all are enjoying. On a side note--I have not had 1 person ask about 3D!

ttroidl OFFLINE Platinum Boarder Posts: 350 Thank you received: 2 Karma: 1	I have not had ANYONE ask about the 3D either! I have not checked out Rentrak but I guess I will! Hoping for a better week next week due to vacations for Turkey Day... on a side note, looking to plan a 'road trip' to check out www.heartattackgrill.com it looks so GOOD!

Mike OFFLINE Administrator Posts: 4827 Thank you received: 32 Karma: 13	did surprisingly slow but it is a burnout coming on the heels of Mad 2 and we still have it up in one theatre so you skim from one for the other. I will be more interested to see how Twi does next week when we move it to our other theatre for a 2 week run.
