'Glass' Still Has Class With Third Weekend Win; 'Miss Bala' Fires Blanks In Lowest Super Bowl Frame In 19 Years
With most of the majors sitting on the sidelines this Super Bowl weekend, 3-day ticket sales are dropping to around $70M.
That figure is lower than the lowest-grossing weekend of 2018 (which was the first frame of December, with $85.3M). You have to go back to Aug. 25-27, 2017 to find a weekend that's even lower, that period totaling $69.3M. Overall, this Super Bowl weekend's tickets sales are expected to be the lowest in 19 years. The last time it was rock bottom was in 2000, when the Big Game frame totaled $66.3M per ComScore.
Don't necessarily blame the Super Bowl, even though it does suck 60%-70% out of Sunday's tills compared to Saturday. Blame the bulk of the majors for not providing exhibitors with new titles. Super Bowl weekend has historically delivered good Friday and Saturday returns for a family title or male-targeted genre film.
True, you wouldn't put a new four-quad release here. But there is money being left on the table, especially if you subscribe to the business principle that moviegoing is a 52-weekend-a-year-business. Super Bowl weekend "is a gamble," said one distribution boss Friday morning. Either that, or everyone was really scared that Universal/BVI/Blumhouse's Glass would take all the air of the marketplace for three weekends in a row.
Miss Bala's fans were comprised of 42% Hispanic, 34% Caucasian, 12% African-American, with 10% Asian. The 18-44 crowd repped 81% of the slim audience here. Males over 25 were the pre-dominant crowd at 35%, followed by females over 25 at 30%. Overall, a near split, 51% male. Miss Bala played best in the west and southwest, but even there, we hear, it wasn't great.
