The context in which F2 is reviewed is completely different: in months before it opened. F1 was barely talked about, and people didn't immediately recognize it for that masterpiece that actually was. After six years it is the strongest animation brand worldwide, Elsa&Anna are better know than Pope or POTUS too: the expectations are much more higher as is the level of marketing. So please, critic, tell us if you like or dislike the movie and why, without caring of it is better or worse of F1.

I remember you some key points: - In 2013 Frozen was barely knows and not so well marketed. - The only market in which Frozen opened after its real explosion (1B WW, two oscars, Let It Go hipe, toys and other items soldout everywhere) was Japan, and we know well that happened there. - In 2014 The Frozen soundtrack was the best selling album worldwide, and speaking of Home Video, the best selling movie ever in BR and digital download. - Now Frozen is the #1 animation brand worldwide in term of merchandise (more and more and more strong than TLK or Toy Story or Incredibles or whatever Disney properties you can imagine), so the marketing budgets are immensely higher than 2013. Especially in new and growing markets.

It seems that among the mature markets (Euro, Japan,....), Endgame have a chance to pass Avatar (maybe) only in South Korea (which is the less mature among the matures). In the same time, the MCU's last movie is destroying Avatar in almost all the new markets (China & other asian countries, Brazil, Mexico,....). But, I Think.... What would happen if Avatar started today in these new markets?

As At 04/30 + China 05/01 May 1 : +/- 1,70B$ May 5 : +/- 2,10B$ May 12: +/- 2,80B$ (Bye Bye Avatar)

Cinetel doesn't publish estimates but only real data. There are some small cinemas that aren't able to provide numbers in real time, but are added later. So the sum of the daily data, that are published for free only once, is always lower than the updated total.

To be really real, we must consider that in Wednesday numbers are counted several Tuesday night's shows.

OD of Quo Vado was in the first of january, which is holiday and one of the three most lucrative days for cinemas here. Other, Endgame has less shows in a single day cause it's much longer of Quo Vado, 181 vs 86 minutes. So no doubt that Endgame gets the biggest "normal" OD ever. Today is Holiday and tickets are virtually vanished. I'm going to see it in next three hours. We'll see if today will be bigger than yesterday.

Very close race. 606 Moana 588 Sing. Undercut?

Alice opened on Friday, its OW was 8,15M€ (strongly inflated by 3D crazyness). Then, since 2012, movies opens on Thursday. Cinderella had a very childish-movie run (strong on Sunday) and had FF attached too, while BATB seems to be more frontloaded and adult-drive.

Disney live action opening Cinderella 5,12M€ Maleficent 4,306M€ Jungle Book 3,003M€ BATB should be the biggest opener so far, 5,5M€ - 6M€, at least it isn't so frontloaded and adult-drive to collapse on Sunday.

Sing OD is a bit stronger than Moana (67K vs 62K in usual location). Moana fell -35% from LW, that means a terrific -82% from the 2nd friday of Frozen.

Japan tuesday: Moana does similar to monday (0,8M$ - near 8M$ 5days), only a bit better than La La Land, which is in week 4 and + 6% from LW. It seems that the live-action musical could hurt Moana among young adult female audience (that three years ago launched Frozen to infinite and beyond), but tomorrow (wednesday/ladies day) we will know this better.

Moana OW is + 32% from Zootopia, while Frozen did near 850.000 adm - 9,75M$ fri-sun Monday estimates 90 MYen (0,8M$)

Moana OW actuals in Japan: 466480 adm / 568.882 3 days and 589,485,600 Yen / 715,270,600 Yen 3 days or 6,23M$. That is + 32% from Zootopia, while Frozen did near 850.000 adm - 9,75M$ fri-sun Monday estimates 90 MYen (0,8M$)
