Author Topic: YTD increase from last year Ramin Hashemi Expert Film Handler Posts: 129 From: Houston TX Registered: Sep 2004 posted 10-10-2007 12:28 PM                     According to Box Office Mojo, national average box office sales are 6.4% ahead of last year. That is Gross sales. Can people share what they see happening in their market (#screens, competition). Assuming you can share that info. We have 3 screens in a small no-compete town, and are 7.1 ahead as of end of September.  |  IP: Logged James Westbrook Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1133 From: Lubbock, Texas, Usa Registered: Mar 2006 posted 10-10-2007 01:22 PM                     We cannot share specific data, obviously. What can be shared can only be vague. I cannot even share vague.  |  IP: Logged John T.

Important figures are usually not shared when it comes to independents. Chains with stockholders publish their figures in yearly reports, but good luck sifting through them.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-14-2007 03:47 AM                        We're ahead of last year. We tend to pretty much follow the national trend. I don't have the figures in front of me but I'd guess we're up about the same as the biz in general.  |  IP: Logged Mark J. Marshall Film God Posts: 3188 From: New Castle, DE, USA Registered: Aug 2002 posted 10-14-2007 08:40 AM                    Is that total dollars taken in at the box office, or number of tickets sold?  |  IP: Logged Ramin Hashemi Expert Film Handler Posts: 129 From: Houston TX Registered: Sep 2004 posted 10-30-2007 04:41 PM                     for me it is customer count. But October has been a disaster here.  |  IP: Logged Brad Allen Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 688 From: Evansville, IN, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 10-30-2007 10:11 PM                     Sept & Oct bad for us, worst in years.  |  IP: Logged Ramin Hashemi Expert Film Handler Posts: 129 From: Houston TX Registered: Sep 2004 posted 11-01-2007 06:00 PM                     For us as well. Box office Mojo has a YTD sale comparison. EDI used to have weekly publications. Anyone know of a source for weekly comparison to last year? Or at lease monthly?  |  IP: Logged
