I forget who asked if Star Wars:TFA would help or hurt other films this weekend. For holdovers, it crushed them. - Inigo Dec 20, 09:43 7
- Didn't help that everything but In the Heart of the Sea lost a ton of screens. -- nm - Tim Dec 20, 09:45 1
  - That's part of it, for sure. I've never seen weekend with the screen count crunch to this effect before. -- nm - Inigo Dec 20, 09:48
- With screen saturation there's no more "X is sold out, let's go see Y effect" -- nm - Dano Dec 20, 09:45 4
  - Was that ever more than a theory, though? I never saw evidence in numbers to support it. -- nm - Inigo Dec 20, 09:51 3
    - The effect hasn't existed for a long time due to saturation. I wonder what % of Star Wars showings sold out. - Dano Dec 20, 09:56 2
      - I remember seeing it anecdotally, too. But I think any true effect it had on a film's overall box office was cancelled by loss of screens. - Inigo Dec 20, 10:11
      - It doesn't have to be all showings. It can be primetime showings to have the same effect. -- nm - Max Rebo Dec 20, 10:00

        I honestly don't know because I've never really been a daytrader. I just take a position and ride it out. - ty97 Dec 20, 08:59 1
