Purple Minion

Solo opened with a horrible $2.5M. The force is not strong with this one...

King Miguel is dead, long live king Thanos! (only to be dethroned by Avengers 4 next year)

'Solo: A Star Wars Story' heading towards $300m-plus global bow https://www.screendaily.com/news/solo-a-star-wars-story-heading-towards-300m-plus-global-bow/5129594.article

This would be the table with record holders (hope I didn't miss any). Don't have Titanic's first run totals, but it would have hold the crown back in 1999.

Release calendar, as per Screendaily. Early forecasts = $300M+ WW OW. SOLO lands in France, Italy, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, Indonesia, Philippines on Wednesday. Thursday brings debuts in the UK, Russia, South Korea, Germany, Brazil, Australia, Austria, Hong Kong, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, Argentina, most of Latin America, and most smaller European territories. China is the expected highlight on Friday, which also sees debuts in Mexico, Spain, India, Poland, South Africa, Turkey, Vietnam. Japan is the only major territory not opening this weekend and receives the tentpole on June 29.

It's remarkable how similar trends can be found from Baja California to Patagonia: Super Heroes and Animated Movies dominate the box office! With some exceptions of course.

Don't think Solo is going to do well in the whole region. What is the average ticket price in pesos these days?

That's an interesting development! Are any studios still using the 9 to 1 ER?

What's your forecast for IW to become #1 movie in lc? Before Friday? Sunday?

IW actual up to Sunday: 1,092.89M lc, just 9M lc behind Coco; 20.4M admissions. Average ticket price for IW: 54 lc. Average ticket price for Coco: 47 lc. Unless CANACINE is missing sales, looks like Deadpool 2 was massively over-estimated.

Most probably, those 23M+ tickets sold by Coco seem out of reach.

From Screendaily: For Latin America, the estimated take has passed $200m and Infinity War has become the biggest release ever in Brazil (with $60.8m) and the second biggest in Mexico (with $57.7m).

And great $10.1M opening for DP2. So close to 200M lc!!!!

IW up to $57.7M, so a $1.5M weekend. It should pass Coco

What's Coco final gross in lc? This is going to get closer than I thought...

Another flat day for Drax, $0.2M and $56.5M total. Deadpool is going to wipe the floor.

Coco is back to haunt the box office

IW dropped as expected on Wed, $0.3M for a $56.2M total.

Quite good $0.6M Tuesday for Thanos and amigos, total is now $55.9M. At today's ER, that's $1.1B, but only Mantis knows which rate are studios using...

Meanwhile, according to BoxOfficePro, IW did $500K on Monday for a $55.3M total.

Have a hunch it'll do better than the first in lc. Pity about the ER, about 10% worse!

For other territories, Comscore reported $11.32M for Central America as of Sunday, and Paraguay is at $900K (6th May) according to Mojo. ER in the region is painfully low
