I love to play with numbers. . . .

The national estimate for Miley Cyrus for this weekend was 29 Million. At a minimum ticket price of $15.00 (for all shows and all seats regardless of age) this would translate into approximately 1,933,333 tickets sold. (29 Million divided by $15.00).[And I do understand that some venues were getting as much as $18.00 per seat for some shows.]

The average national first run ticket price in the USA today is approximately $6.70. So multiplying 1,933,333 by 6.70 would give you approximately 12.95 for Miley Cyrus the weekend as a comparative figure.

In other words, on a comparative scale basis, Jessica Alba at 13 Million did better than Miley Cyrus.

Proving once again that you can make manipulate data anyway that you want or need to!

Mike OFFLINE Administrator Posts: 4826 Thank you received: 32 Karma: 13	How long do you think it will take before things like Led Zepplin reunion goes out to theatres worldwide? I think we'll see an avalanche of stuff soon enough. I am planning on seeing the U2 IMAX 3-D just to see what it's like. Michael Hurley Impresario

Not to nitpick your logic, moviebuf, but here goes: Hannah Montana ended up with $31 million for the weekend, and it played officially at only 683 locations - though the local multiplex near me played it on several screens, as I'm sure many did. That 683 locations is about 1/4 the number of places showing the Jessica Alba pic. And $15-18 a ticket is just a little more than double the average first run, but it's still an extremely strong showing. On par with a film that at normal ticket price, opening at 3000 theatres, would gross $45-55 million. Not too shabby. I see now they are going to hold it over - like anyone believed it was just one week?

Other than the theatre being timid about playing it LOUD, it was terrific. Great music, excellent 3D effects. Shelled out $13 a seat for a matinee, and it was still worth it. I still don't think the Digital 3D is as sharp as 70mm IMAX 3D, but hopefully the technology will improve. LT

What I like about Hannah-Metro Opera-U2 is that when digital salesmen kept saying "alternative content" I kept thinking "yeah, right." but I'm seeing the potential. What I particularly like about the live events is there is no expectation to play it for 2-4 weeks minimum and keep the screen clean, etc. It is also a completely different demographic that may never go to a movie theatre otherwise. My belief has always been: if it puts people in the seats: I am interested.
