‘Addie’ Saturday Previews On Fire With A Record Breaking $2.3 Million, Besting ‘Jumanji 2’ & ‘Hotel Transylvania 3’

The Sony Pictures Animation/Gingo standalone spin-off doesn’t open until Mar. 1, and already there’s a want-to-see for  Addie:  The Geo G.-directed feature racked up  $2.3M  in Sony-Fandango early access screenings yesterday, a figure that’s more than the Amazon Prime previews than fellow Sony films: Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle  ($1.86M) and  Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation  ($1.28M).

Fandango customers received early-access screenings for  Addie  at select AMC Theatres, Regal Cinemas, Cinemark Theatres, Marcus Theaters, Harkins Theatres, Southern Theatres, National Amusements, B & B Theatres, and more.

Addie  also made more than Warner Bros. sneaks for  The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part, but that pic had a smaller footprint at 550 locations which played one show at 2pm, grossing an estimated $400K-plus (that’s an industry estimate, not studio-reported). However, it made less than How To Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World as that film made $2.5M last Saturday. Like Hidden World, Addie played at just over 1,000 at 3PM yesterday. Most of  Lego Movie 2 ‘s locations were sold out with older teens and younger adults showing up. Hotel Transylvania 3  played at roughly 1,000 theaters from one 3PM showtime on a Friday, while  Jumanji 2  previewed at 1,200 theaters on a Friday at 7PM.
