**DOMESTIC PRESALES**
**The American Society of Magical Negroes Thursday Comp: $0.26M**
– abracadabra1998 ($0.20M Thursday Comp)
– katnisscinnaplex ($0.31M Thursday Comp)
**Arthur the King Thursday Comp: $0.52M**
– abracadabra1998 ($0.24M Thursday Comp).
– katnisscinnaplex ($0.79M Thursday comp.)
**Love Lies Bleeding Thursday Comp: $0.48M**
– el sid ($300-$400k Thursday would be my guess at the moment.)
– katnisscinnaplex ($0.60M Thursday Comp).
**Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire Average Thursday Comp *excluding dallas and using Charlie Jatinder’s MTC2 Comp*: $4.66M**
– abracadabra1998 ($4.76M Thursday Comp.)
– Charlie Jatinder ($3.9M Thursday MTC2 Comp. In MiniTC2, the Dune Part 2 comp for GBFE will be $1.8M *[(I don’t know what day Charlie is referring to)]* and here Dune was an under-performer. MTC1 comp for Dune Part 2 be $3.2M for THU alone & $2.6M including EA (March 10).
– dallas ($12.38M Thursday comp. Probably over indexing in my area though due to fan rush. I wouldn’t take this number seriously at all (March 3).)
– el sid (Tickets sold in 7 theaters: 161. Comps (both films counted for Friday): Uncharted had 276 sold tickets with 16 days left and G: A had 457 sold tickets with 5 days left = 34% at the moment with 12 days left for Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire to come closer or overtake.)
– Inceptionzq ($5.95M Denver+Drafthouse+Emagine Thursday Comp. $6.15M Denver Thursday Comp. $5.59M/$17.01M/$26.53M/$19.94M Drafthouse Thursday/Friday/Saturday/Sunday Comp. $6.10M/$23.82M/$22.54M/$19.69M Emagine Thursday/Friday/Saturday/Sunday Comp.)
– jeffthehat ($5.32M Combined Thursday Comp. $4.03M Malco and $6.6M Indiana Thursday comp. $7.7M/$11.8M Malco Friday/Saturday Comp.
– katnisscinnaplex ($3.75M Thursday comp.)
– keysersoze123 (Dune 2 comps are under $3M (March 11). Still does not look like its going to outopen Afterlife.)
– leoh (Here in NY some theaters with PLFs halls have screenings almost sold out. It’ll take all Dolby Cinema halls and most of IMAX screens.)
– Porthos ($5.25M Thursday comp. So, like, the most likely result is Afterlife +/- a tiny amount (plus ATP hike). Except for the T-16 day, the daily sales for GBFE have been… Not Too Bad (Mar. 8).)
– TheFlatLannister ($5.18M Thursday comp. $6.68M Thursday Orlando Comp. Another big increase (March 10).)
– vafrow ($3.2M Thursday comp.)
**The Monkey Man**
– abracadabra1998 ($1.61M Thursday Comp)
– jeffthehat (Fall Guy starts about 2x Monkey Man first day in sales and shows.)
– keysersoze123 (Fall Guy and Monkey Man have almost identical Thursday preview presales at this point. Fall Guy does have Wednesday IMAX Early Access though. (March 12).)
– vafrow (Not bad)
**The Fall Guy**
– jeffthehat (Fall Guy starts about 2x Monkey Man first day in sales and shows.)
– keysersoze123 (Fall Guy and Monkey Man have almost identical Thursday preview presales at this point. Fall Guy does have Wednesday IMAX Early Access though. (March 12).)

Note: I have removed tracking data that has not been updated for 2 weeks. I think there is value in keeping data for a week or two but at a certain point they start to lose their value and should not be treated the same as more recent tracking data.
