Purple Minion

Solid numbers this weekend. Wonka up 20%, $19.7M, 330M lc; Aquaman 2 down just 11%, reaching $12.7M, 215M lc; Migration is now at $5.4M, 90M lc.

Deadline: Ridley Scott’s Napoleon has crossed the $200M mark globally, getting to the milestone with Tuesday’s numbers included. The worldwide tally for the biographical epic is $200.7M, of which $141.1M is from the international box office. Through yesterday, the domestic cume is $59.6M. Overseas is led by the European majors. The UK is the top market at $16.7M, followed by France ($14.4M), Germany ($10.9M), Spain ($10.1M) and Italy ($8.4M). Rounding out the Top 10 are Mexico ($7.5M), Australia ($7.3M), Netherlands ($5.5M), China ($3.9M) and Brazil ($3.9M).

$16.3M total in Mexico after a good Monday.

CANACINE totals, it states Dec 18-24 in their website but I think they include Monday as well. Aquaman 2 119.2M lc, 1.5M tickets Wonka 275.8M lc, 3.9M tickets Migration 67.4M lc, 985.1K tickets Napoleon 128.5M lc, 1.5M tickets Songbirds and Snakes 182.9M lc, 2.5M tickets Wish 85.4M lc, 1.2M tickets Full Top 10: https://canacine.org.mx/taquilla/

Waiting for the actuals, but with holidays and no competition, I'd expect at least 2.5x and 200M+ total.

In Latin America, Aquaman 2 was No. 1 Hollywood title in every market.

Better than anticipated but still soft $5.0M opening for Aquaman 2, 85M lc, should be steady during the holidays. Stellar $15.3M total for Wonka, about 265M lc. Mexico is the #2 OS market for both.

Deadline.com: Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom began offshore rollout on Wednesday, and with numbers through Friday included has grossed $40.9M in 73 international box office markets. This portends a full overseas opening in the $70M range. With domestic’s three- and four-day, the global start will top $100M. The Top 5 markets on Aquaman 2 through Friday are China ($13.9M), Mexico ($3.4M), Brazil ($1.9M), Indonesia ($1.9M) and France ($1.6M). UK debuted on Thursday, with $712K, ranking as the runner-up behind the strong continued performance of Wonka. Germany also kicked off on Thursday, taking $520K on 589 screens and ranking No. 1.

Deadline.com: Wonka has crossed the $200M mark worldwide, landing at $215.8M through Friday. The overseas portion of that is $151.9M. Thursday’s $7.1M in 77 markets was on par with the same day last week. The Top 5 markets to date are the UK ($32.5M), Mexico ($14.3M), Germany ($8.7M), Australia ($8.2M) and Spain/Japan ($7.6M).

$3.4M for Aquaman 2 up to Fri, 57M lc. Disaster avoided. Wonka reached a fabulous $14 3M total, 240M lc.

The first Aquaman had a good opening, 134,886,765 lc and 2,341,979 tickets, but its legs were great for a SH movie, 4.5x multiplier. Godzilla movies made in Hollywood have a much better record compared to the Japanese productions. It'll be nice to have a breakout. Movie OW lc OW Aud Total lc Total Aud Godzilla Vs.

No, those are totals up to the 17th. The weekly cumes from 11-17 Nov are in CANACINE's website, under 'Esta sem.' https://canacine.org.mx/taquilla

Totals #1 Wonka 207.9M lc, 2.9M tickets. Right into the yearly Top 20. #2 Migration 39.7M lc, 571K tickets. May hold on a bit due to holidays. #3 Napoleon 122M lc, 1.4M tickets #4 Songbirds and Snakes 178,2M lc, 2.5M tickets. #5 Papá o mamá 45.4M lc, 704.1K tickets. #6 Wish 82.2M lc, 1.2M tickets. Can't believe it won't make 100M lc.

Wonka #1 next week, I say...

Wonka repeated on top with a great $11 2M total; Songbirds and Snakes reached $10.1M.

Disappointing $2.0M OW for Migration, lower than Sing in lc.

Let's see how Migration benefits. Illumination has been quite successful, even when excluding Super Mario; with Minions briefly holding the title of most attended movie ever, and Sing having insane legs. Totals around the Pets 2 level would be a decent result.

Latest from Mojo, not sure how up-to-date are the OS numbers. Domestic (79%) $28,526,429 International (21%) $7,600,000 Worldwide $36,126,429

1.2M tickets for Wonka, very good. Nice to see a decent hold by a local movie, pity that Tótem never made it to the Top 10. Those numbers for Wish are something else, is Disney+ affecting the BO performance that bad?

Two World Cup movies defeating Wonka. How... symbolic!
