Mexico Box Office | With booming ER, Kongzilla reaches $27.7M and Kung Fu P4nd4 $33.1M.

[Purple Minion]

Did very well. It's the highest grossing original Pixar movie, and I think it's either the second or third (behind TS3 and possibly MU) in local currency and attendance.

Amazing

[Purple Minion]

Weekly numbers. Pan reaches US$4M, HT2 a scare away from US$20M, Martian and Intern still holding well. No major release on Thursday it seems. ER is highest in weeks btw.

 

[Fullbuster]

Do you know how is Mexico this year compared to last year? Is it growing in admissions and gross?

[Purple Minion]

Couldn't find any info from Rentrak, but looking at the weekly numbers it should be up in aud/lc but static in USD due to the ER.

 

Weekend report! To be updated as info is available.

 

Deadline

• HT2: US$21M cum. Another stellar weekend! Could it be back at #1?
• Pan: US$1.6M weekend (having expanded on a further 100 screens from Friday) for a $5.6M cum.
• The Intern: 5% increase on last weekend, which is very unusual ...  cum of $US3.8M to date!
• The Walk: With previews, US$750K OW on 788 screens.

Well there you go, HT2 won the weekend! It could well reach US$25M at this pace. Positions 3-5 were very, very close in lc. Trainwreck did meh.

Mojo is again (sporadically) posting the Mexican box-office chart!

Meanwhile, Star Wars VII seems to be breaking pre-release records! It's going to be huge ...the original tre-quel is a cult classic.

 

Unfortunately the only available gross I could find for the entire saga is:

 

Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones

OW: US$3,387,551, 33,384,993 lc, 500 theatres.

Extended OW: US$5,704,170, 56,215,736 lc, 500 theatres.

Total: US$8,793,561, 87,487,992 lc.

 

which looks very underwhelming, it fizzled quite quickly. But market has grown exponentially since then. I'd be surprised if it opens with less than 150M lc.So I forecast over US$30M, but could go as high as US$40M if WOM is strong. Of course ER could suddenly improve or implode.

If there is a market in Latin America where SW7 can do well it's really Mexico

[Purple Minion]

Pan back at #1 on Tuesday. Are there any major releases this weekend?

 

 

Top 10 MA: Pan/ Hotel T2/ Pasante Moda/ Cuerda Floja/ M Rescate/ Transportador R/ Mexican Gangst/ Chica Desastre/ Cuarto G/ Escape

Deadline

• Goosebumps: #1, US$2.5M, 1,850 screens.
• Paranormal Activity: GP: US$2.3M OW, #2, 631 sites. Series record and the 3rd highest opening for a horror film ever, 46% over Marked Ones. It would have been massive if played in more screens!
• Bridge of Spies: #4, US$646K.

CANACINE hasn't updated the box-office since last Monday.  Here's the weekend's Top 10:

Ok we got numbers ... Will HT2 reach 10M audience? Intern showing great legs, Back to Future re-release made almost US$500K! Pan is not doing great, but it may gross more here than in China

[Purple Minion]

Lousy Mon-Thu gross. Crimson Peak should shake up things. Next week it's Spectre (Thu) vs The Little Prince (Fri).

 

 

[Purple Minion]

ScreenDaily

• Crimson Peak: #1, US$1.8M OW.
• PA: TGD: US$4.3M total

BoxOffice.com

• The Intern: US$5.2M total

Deadline

• HT2: US$23M total
• Goosebumps: US$1.3M weekend, US$5M total.

Any estimates on Spectre's OW?

Deadline: "Mexico also features in one of Spectre‘s most talked-about set pieces and is hosting the première for the Americas on Monday. An increasingly muscular market, that will be one to watch"

[Purple Minion]

Weekend numbers, now with a new format! So there were 4 new openings and only Crimson made any impact!

Title should be updated...

[Gabriel Sales]

As in the US, 007 vs Spectre face an animation on his debut in Mexico. In the US, 'Peanuts The Movie' promises to work to James Bond. And in Mexico? Is it possible to 'The Little Prince' 007 bother?

[Purple Minion]

Skyfall grossed less than US$10M but Spectre has all the odds in its favour and should win the weekend. However there's enough room for the Little Prince to do decently, HT2 is on its way out.

 

Mojo is slowly but surely adding the missing weekly charts from 2015. The latest one is available below, there's some interesting totals outside the Top 10. Keep in mind they use the ERs inconsistently.

Weekly numbers. Good holds for all movies, Goosebumps a pleasant surprise. HT2 should cross MX$400M by next week!

This weekend is all about Spectre, how much will Crimson Peak fall and how will The Little Prince perform.

But The Little Prince opens wide until November 13th, this weekend is just a small preview of saturday and Sunday.
