Any expectation for Gotg 2? 

 

Not yet. However, it will get good numbers from a 4-Day opening because of national holiday on Monday 1st, besides, another holiday on Friday 5th. Local analysts consider that for 3-Day opening could reach similar numbers to 'HPDH2' ($189.3 million pesos) or even like 'The Avengers' ($219.74 million pesos). In current dollars that means an opening between $10.2 and $11.8 million.

 

But we better wait...

Thanks!

 

Now. My first "report" 

 

Fate of the Furious (Named 'Fast and Furious 8' in Mexico) opened in the first position with actuals of 17.7 million dollars. $226.5 million pesos on weekend and 327.9 million pesos with the 4-Day opening from Thursday. Opened in 4,467, so that seems the widest release of history in the country.

 

The audience is divided, loved for many people but hated for many others so is hard to say if will keep the legs of Furious 7 (3.6 multiplier) because many factors, some in favor and some against.

In favor:

- With exception of universities and some high-schools all the kids and teens are out of school this entire week. Same thing with much workers who still in vacations

- No big competition this weekend

- I haven't seen the film but i saw many 'sold-outs' the whole weekend, that means much people still wanting to see the movie

 

Against:

- That division between audiencies that i mentioned before, so we could be talking that is being more front-loaded than expected, similar to 'Civil War' last year

- On April 28th faces competition of 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2', which has amassed lot of hype in the country

 

The second spot went to 'Baby Boss' which gross $2.04 million dollars this weekend and a total $17.89 M. In local currency; $38 M the weekend and $332 M total. Now, holds the number 3 anual behind 'Beauty and the Beast' and the astonishing 'Fast and Furious 8'.

 

In third place are 'Smurfs: The Lost Village' with a $700 K dollars weekend and $3.4 M dollars after two weekends. 

 

4.- 3 Idiotas (Local movie; 3 Idiots): $522 K wknd/$5.8 M total

5.- Beauty and the Beast: $377 K wknd/$29.4 M total

6.- Ghost in the Shell: $296 K wknd/$5.01 M total

7.- The Shack*: $1.13 M total

8.- Raw**: $156 K wknd/$156 K total

9.- Les Innocentes** (French movie): $91 K wknd/$91 K weekend

10.- Power Rangers: $86 K wknd/$6.12 M total
