How do you Live? (aka The Boy and the Heron) has secured a local distributor. They have December reserved for Koreeda's Monster so probably won't arrive until late January on time for awards season.
Unfortunately they don't have a wide reach as they focus mostly on certain complexes within 1st tier cities so won't make much as I expected initially. PSA shall be high tho.

Would seem like its only $10M+ market is going to be UK. Maybe Korea.

THE HUNGER GAMES: BALLAD OF SONGBIRDS AND SNAKES (WED NIGHT PREVIEWS) - FIRST 12 HOURS (T-12 DAYS)
126 sold tickets / 997 total available
For any future reference. I don't really have much comps for this one; I took data for Rise of the Beasts until T-7 and Little Mermaid was a full-day opening just like Marvels. Overall seems like a healthy start -above MI7 and double of Marvels- but I'm aware there may be a fan-rush.-

Next target is The Flash's 634 tickets which only accounted for previews instead of full Day One. So still not good at all.
Pace is improving so is good to see holidays didn't completely buried it and managing to stay neck on neck with Little Mermaid. I think it can keep acceleration on par with that one but I don't know if walk-ins will be equally as healthy considering this is still an MCU entry.
All that said, jumps aren't anything spectacular so unless where witnessing something completely unprecedented for a movie this size I'm staying on my position on par with Blue Beetle and somewhere on low to mid 40s opening weekend. High 30s and below DC's title would be something else but if Quatumania-like scenario happens in terms of reception I guess there's that chance.-

It's doing abysmal in Latam so I'm curious about the main markets in Europe since latinos love MCU more than europeans (UK, Germany and France).

Seems completely astonishing that even though here and Aussie things aren't particularly good they seem like Infinity War or Civil War compared to Latam where MCU has been an audience darling but this one is tracking on par/below Blue Beetle.
If the whole world were to follow Mexico or Brazil we would be looking at $100M WW total or so.

Considering the holidays extend until Thursday and therefore many schools and even offices have decided to stay off-labor until Monday we either see a great jump or a bigger drop.
This is still struggling to surpass Little Mermaid's first 30 hours of sales and even considering that one didn't even held midnights makes it worse. I think is safe to say that 4-Day opening is looking very much likely to go under Captain Marvel's opening day back in 2019 - $79M.
Also looking to contest Blue Beetle as the lowest grossing CBM of the year and The Incredible Hulk as lowest grossing MCU ever. Although in the end this one may have the edge.-

That's a huge drop from estimates for Freddy's.
Hadn't included previews so it's up to $189M. $25M in previews so after all my comps on tracking were actually on point despite screen count.

A 92% drop from last weekend ($43.6M) is crazy.
Yeah but it also lost most of its shows as well

I'm not using Barbie because of different presale schedule and Flash is also useless given they were Wed previews + Thu opening day. Transformers and Insidious could've been good comps because they represent best-case scenario for final days but they had the same release pattern as Flash.
I know people say DOM sales are bad but at least they don't point towards Blue Beetle territory. And unlike Brazil where it saved some face beating Flash and Shazam 2, here it remains DC's biggest flop since 2003's Catwoman.
Hopefully all this is a fluke and opens at least to $80M-$90M.-

$164M were reported for Five Nights at Freddy's. Down from initial estimate from Universal, on line with forecast and best result for horror not only this year but since 2019's It: Chapter Two. Remains to be seen if it beats The Nun II.
Radical decreases only 28% to $30M and along with excellent weekdays is now up to $92M. Killers of the Flower Moon also holds well (-43%) with $8.1M and collects $27.7M.Trolls 3 is kinda meh as it opens to $27.6M which is below what Paw Patrol did earlier this month. Same as Hypnotic with only $6.8M
6. The Exorcist: Believer - $6M/$165.3M7. Equalizer: Final Chapter - $4.1M/$63.9M
8. The Eras Tour - $3.5M/$142.8M

If sub-$100M happens that would be a first for MCU since 2016's Dr Strange. Of course this excludes Shang-Chi which was released amidst pandemic but still below Eternals.

Hopefully walk-ins get stronger but because school is hard to tell. Rainy days will factor in as well if instead we get storms but I'd rather go conservative to $160M-$170M.-

I'm not including comps but as suspected Guardians and Fast X point towards $25M and Flash to $23M. Cinemex and indie chains unlike Cinepolis did add extra shows thoughout the night so likely that'll help it to push previews number o/u $18M.

Final allocation for Freddy coming in and is huge! Pure Thursday count is 30k seats which is close to Spiderverse's 33k seats and combining it with Wednesday it expands to 37k.
Main concern now is hurricane Otis which is hitting on the Pacific coast and shutting down one state. Center of the country including major markets such as Mexico City and Puebla will likely face rainy weather all rest of the week.

Wondering if 90% be possible, if so that would be insane. Of course growth will now be minimal due to lack of screens and seats.
Comps at this point are useless; once they all align will point to o/u $25M previews but its own limitations will bring it down by o/u $10M. Although overperformance on other chains might lift it up a few millions. This is the kind of fan-rush where demand spreads to wherever it can.
Out of eight locations: two are over 80% full, one over 85%, three over 90% and one over 95% which is basically only handicap and single seats spread across auditoriums.

Even if we remove Wed numbers, Thu growth isn't much bigger than combined average because matinees and sub shows still hurting growth so once again... is up to final allocation to see how much accelerates on its final hours.
Overall I'm within the same range but higher end on OD leaning more into $40M and lower end on opening weekend at $170M. Biggest opening for a horror title since 2019's It: Chapter II.

Spectacular drop for The Eras Tour considering its nature. It is now the highest grossing concert event ever. It'll keep playing on IMAX until next weekend but maybe exhibitors give it another one on regular screens.
Radical above my expectectations and Killers of the Flower Moon on line with them. We'll see how much WOM benefits each one of them but overall a bit of a letdown for both. Equilizer took a big hit as well after the audience clash with Scorsese's film.All horror titles also taking big drops but Nun II keeps pulling through to show up on the Top 10. Is all set and done to welcome Five Nights at Freddy's.

The Marvels shows are up and tickets go on sale on Thursday.
No Wednesday previews but rather midnight shows which is the first time since The Rise of Skywalker.
It's tracking... meh. Thinking The Flash/Quantumania scenario but will be a hard track with discrepancies over comps.

Any buzz about Radical? Eugenio Derbez has the highest grossing local movie, but no idea how this one is tracking.
Sales have being rather strong. I was expecting somewhere o/u $30M but could go higher.
Killers is a rough bet as it seems like there's only going 600-700 screens with a tight schedule so maybe $15M.-

Pace is now starting to shrink as there hasn't been more allocation and occupancy is growing mostly from the latest shows added. I'm lowering my expectations to mid 10s for previews due to lack of seats for walk-ins even in smaller and independent chains where there are even midnight shows.
Two theaters among the sample have surpassed 90% occupancy and other two are over 80%. This is Marvel-levels of fan-rush.

I've confirmed and this is getting both regular PLFs and Dolby shows so it's releasing similar as Barbie: no 3D, IMAX or 4D so actually lesser than expected impact on ATP as most of its fanbase and target is already up for adult prices.
Pace from T-6 to T-3 shall be interesting as Spiderverse decreased and Barbie increased. I'm thinking this one decreases so it's up to final allocation to see how much more can sustain.-

Day Number of shows Seats sold Total seats Occupancy Wednesday (T-7) 34 5144 7135 72.10% Thursday (T-8) 54 3406 11876 28.68% Total 88 8550 19011 44.97% Comps at the same time before release. None of them held previews but rather full opening Thursday.
Day Number of shows Seats sold Total seats Occupancy Comp in % Comp in lc Spiderverse (T-8) 84 7558 19284 39.19% 113.13% $49.78 Barbie (T-8) 106 10456 23117 45.23% 81.77% $87.09 I'm using these ones because allocation in the end ends up somewhat similar and may make it for lack of screens in the case of Freddy's. The fact that is outpacing Spiderverse and this close to Barbie is quite astonishing and even though will be losing ground to Barbie in coming days that Spiderverse comp will get interesting as time goes by because by the end they may end up very close in shows and screens.
Because of its core audience is still young FSS are going equally strong and spreading demand so don't think this will be much front-loaded. I do have to mention ATP calculation is going to be kinda tricky as this one won't get neither of 3D, IMAX or 4D and Dolby remains a question mark so will deflate a lot.
Another quick note: this is seemingly performing better in Metro Area than Mexico City itself. Theaters where is performing better are located in urban but centric areas or suburbs which are populated mostly by families, like following examples:- Buenavista - 70.5% and 71.9% occupancy for Wednesday and Thursday respectively
- Las Americas - 88.8% and 33.3% occupancy for Wed and Thu respectively
On the other hand I'm seeing theaters located in urban and upper class neighborhoods that are populated mostly by single people in their 20s-30s or families with kids under 10 where the movie is up to a point underperforming. This will definitely skew young but if it turns out to be good or entertaining enough will get little by little all those older audiences who don't know the property and have no rush to see it will join the party as well and drive walk-ins.
Let's see how pace sustains over the following and by Monday once theaters get their full schedules but I'm thinking high 30s to mid 40s opening day incl previews and $170M-$200M opening week which may very well be the third highest opening weekend for a horror title only below The Nun and It: Chapter One.

@Carlangonz you were spot on with your Eras prediction! Nice $5.3M opening, although lower than BTS' gig movies in lc.
Always tricky but yeah, Taylor and BTS are way ahead of anyone else, the former wins in admissions and the latter in lc:
- BTS: Permission to Dance on Stage (Single day event): $120M/380K admissions across 1,970 screens.
- Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour (Fri-Sun event): $93.8M/420K admissions across 1,355 screens
- BTS: Yet to Come (Wed-Sat event): $109.1M/340K admissions across 624 screens
Apparently other cities overperformed Mexico City (particularly Metro Area) and it shows on my sample.
Great results for both Exorcist and Saw X. October needed a relief between them and Nun's great staying power. Jigsaw may fall short of $100M but would be incredible to reach it for the first time in the saga's history.
Wonder if Equalizer 3 was affected by adults picking any of the horror options instead but overall not bad; on par with John Wick 3 unadjusted which adds up considering John Wick plays better with younger audiences.-

Decided to keep Fast X comp given I don't have many previews to work with but still not doing comps in $ until maybe T-5. It's just matter of hours before it beats Flash's final count (4,812 at T-0.5 hours)
Some shows were just added during Sunday so we'll see how it'll sustain pace and if theaters get additional shows. So far within the sample there are two locations that haven't got more shows and they're over 95% full.
About ATP, Cinepolis has already corrected it so no more Discount Wedesday although Cinemex is keeping it for some locations. Also no IMAX, 4D or Dolby shows; only regular PLFs.
Even if front-loaded this is massive and other chains are showing the same. Unlike other markets and because love for horror in here seems like even if GA doesn't know the property buzz can eventually catch it. So we're in for another breakout, Nun II's $150M is a good target but no ceiling atm.-

No numbers on The Eras, only that it was a #1 opener.
Guesstimate but may pull through $5M/$90M+ depending on how far Sunday goes.
