Argentina Box Office - Minions: first movie ever to do $35m+!!!

[Hernan Gonzalez]

Week Top 5:

 

1- Fifty Shades of Grey, 164078 admissions, -44%. Cume: 1086992 adm, around $7.9m

2- Birdman, 55597 admissions, +135%. Cume: 116485 adm, $0.8m

3- Taken, 52247 admissions, -19%. Cume: 738432 adm, $4.6m

4- Kingsman, 49858 admissions, -28%. Cume: 119632 adm, $0.8m

5- Annie, 41255 admissions, -33%. Cume: 103313 adm, $0.7m

 

Good hold for 50 Shades. It is the first movie to pass 1m admissions this year, 1.3m admissions ($9m) is where its heading. 

 

Birdman got the Oscar bump and jumped to the second place. Taken continuous its very good run falling a mere 19%. 

 

Kingsman and Annie saw nice decreases on their sophomore session. The first one has very good reviews and the singing orphan the worst   this year so far...

[Hernan Gonzalez]

Focus is poised to end Grey's domination. It will lead a quiet weekend with around $0.5m OW...

Disappointed with Kingsman's results here and Latin America in general...

WOM is pretty good for Kingsman in Argentina (8.2/10). It should have done better

Not good OD for Cinderella and Insurgent Not of them did more than $0.1m yesterday... Let see how they do during the weekend

[Hernan Gonzalez]

Today is a holiday in Argentina so tomorrow we will have the 5 days numbers but it was a good weekend after all. As of Sunday Cinderella should be around $1.3m and Insurgent around $ 0.8m. So much better than Thursday's numbers suggested!!

Long Weekend Top 5:

 

1- Cinderella, 360507 admissions, around $2.3m, new. 

2- Insurgent, 188360 admissions, around $1.4m, new.

3- Focus, 99397 adm, +11%. Cume: 323888 adm, $2.1m

4- Directo Al Corazon (local movie), 56374 adm, around $0.4m, new.

5- The Lazarus Effect, 33722 adm, -18%. Cume: 79636 adm, $0.5m

 

Very Good OW for the Top 2 movies. 

 

Cinderella started very weak on Thursday, but thanks to Monday and Tuesday holidays it did almost on par with Maleficent. 1m admissions ($6.5m) seems reachable for this fairy tale, specially taking in account that the Easter holidays are coming soon. 

 

Also Insurgent did great!!! I has already beaten Divergent final gross ($1.3m) in only 6 days!!!! 

 

Focus also benefitted from the long weekend, up 11% compared to the same days last week. 500k admissions seem a little bit to much to ask for this movie but it already did better than expected. 

 

Home is the only movie that could do good next weekend.

Top 5 Weekend: 

 

1- Cinderella, 100600 admissions, -46%. Cume: 482825 adm, $3m

2- Home, 74574 adm, $0.5m, new.

3- Insurgent, 52263 adm, -52%. Cume: 256193 adm, $1.9m

4- Focus, 34384 adm, -37%. Cume: 364434 adm, $2.3m

5- The Gunman, 25966 adm, $0.15m, new.

 

Cinderella stays on top. This Easter week will be crucial. It needs very good numbers if it wants to reach 1m admissions. We'll see next Sunday. 

 

Bad OW for Home, but the Easter bunny could save it. This movie is not doing good in Latin America. 

 

As expected, Insurgent fell more than 50% because its fans had run to see it during the first weekend. It could double Divergent gross by the end of its run.
