Author Topic: Weekday movie attendance Gary Davidson Expert Film Handler Posts: 101 From: Santa Monica, CA Registered: Jan 2004 posted 02-27-2004 04:25 PM                     Are there any statistics available that show movie attendance according to day of the week? I'm looking for something that tells me in broad terms, for example, that 50% of the audence falls on Friday, Saturday amd Sunday, and the rest is evenly spread out over the week. Something like that.  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

If you live in a sleepy older community you will get more day and less night during the week vs a downtown theater that will be dead during the day, but pick up at night, no matter what day of the week.  |  IP: Logged David Favel Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 764 From: Ashburton, New Zealand Registered: Feb 2002 posted 02-29-2004 09:26 PM                     Also depends on what is on. Sometimes it's a waste of time screening Matrix 3, while Calendar Girls is really worth it. The way we thought was try it & figure out what is going to work. It seems for us anything that chicks/oldies like will do well.  |  IP: Logged Gary Davidson Expert Film Handler Posts: 101 From: Santa Monica, CA Registered: Jan 2004 posted 03-01-2004 07:18 PM                     Thank you all!
