  • There's a famous case study where JC Penny launched a big campaign where they wouldn't put people thought the rat race of sales and coupons and just offer the best price at all times. Almost bankrupted them. Turns out people want the rat race.

  • The Truth About Emanuel didn't do so well at the box office

  • Empty screenings are not unusual. I've been to a lot of movies where I'm the only one in there.

    In 2013 it was around $8. So for a $4044 take your looking at about 505 tickets sold. It's likely they probably got about 80-90% of this on the Friday and Saturday which is about 18-20 seats per theater per night for the opening.

    All that said, yea the numbers are low but it's not entirely on the movie itself, this is the effect of marketing and availability. We contrast this with something like 50 Shades of Grey which is lower rotten tomatoes and lower IMDB but pulled in about a half billion because they marketed the hell out of it.

  • Most smaller movies don't sell out a screening. With 11 screens probably only running for a week it wouldn't have any marketing. $4044 according to box office mojo so that seems about right.

  • This is a bit misleading, it was only in 11 theaters before going to streaming so it can't be compared with a standard wide release film. Like Bird Box was a massive hit for Netflix but you could say it only sold a few tickets (because it only appeared in a couple theatres)
