    ¡Aguas! $24.1M total for Aquaman, will join the half a billion lc club by Friday.

    A run for the ages! Simply astonishing, probably the leggiest SH movie of the decade! 

     

    This weekend is getting back a lot of screens including PLFs. May top Overboard by monday.

    Still expecting final figures for 2018 annual results but estimates have it installing a new high for a single year beating 2017 with estimated $16.8B which is indeed a good number but unfortunately a much lower growth compared to the previous three years. 

     

    Admissions is apparently decreasing from year-to-year for the first time since 2009 by quite a considerable margin.

     

    Canacine is publishing full estimates in the upcoming weeks.

    First of all: Happy New Year to everyone. I hope you have a great 2019

    Second: @Carlangonz Thanks for the Recap of 2018 it was a great analysis.

    As for the previews for 2019. It will be crowded when we get to the summer. I don't really understand why Disney decided to have the three big Live Action-Remakes released the same year. Dumbo, Aladdin and The Lion King will, in the end, eat each other up (a little bit, nothing to scream flop of course) but it is a strange release strategy.

    Glass I'm dying to see it. I really hope it delivers as trailers do make it look as an event movie specially with the psycothic smile of Samuel L. Jackson

    The Lego Movie will flop hard. I don't know anyone that has liked the first one (I enjoyed it but not to see it twice) so probably 140M or so? (less than The Lego Batman Movie).

    Shazam¡ looks silly, really, really silly but it could be entertaining, nevertheless I don't think it will have Dr. Strange / Ant-Man levels.

    I really hope we have a good year in Movies. more horror, more comedy and more Mexican movies...although the recent wave of romantic comedies gets worse by the day and I don't think La Boda de mi Mejor Amigo will turn the tide.

    You're back! Sames wishes for you 🙌

     

    I think that of all of the live-action remakes the one with best advantage is Lion King, is more separate from Aladdin and Toy Story 4 and can see it co-existing with Hobbs and Shaw.

     

    Shazam is an interesting proposal, I'm conservative with the Dr Strange/Ant-Man comparison since it has the same status as them unlike Black Panther, Wonder Woman and Aquaman that had presence on previous films and were already known. Would be totally great if Shazam overperforms, i like Zachary Levi since Chuck and I'm really curious to see the movie.

     

    Should be a good year for horror with Conjuring 3 and It 2, plus any other Blumhouse project. Don't know what to expect from mexican cinema, projects happen so fast that you never hear of them with such anticipation, although i think No Manches, Frida 2 is coming out on spring.

    WHAT TO EXPECT FROM 2019? SECOND HALF

     

    July

    • Spider-Man: Far From Home. The first movie of the post-Endgame era, many of the Infinity War heroes gained much popularity after the third Avengers film, or in the case of Spidey, it gained even more popularity, added to the PS4 videogame and Into the Spiderverse; Far From Home is going to be an important test for the cinematic future of Spider-Man. Right now expectations stay o/u $25M.
    • The Conjuring 3. In 2018, The Nun installed a new ceiling for this successful horror franchise grossing over $420M lc, could the third installment break the record? Hard but not impossible, should overcome to the obstacle of sharing screens with Far from Home and Lion King. By now let’s say it rounds the numbers of its predecessor.
    • The Lion King. Nostalgia for this other one is huge everywhere and Mexico isn’t the exception; classic among all generations there’s no doubt this is going to be a big event. The musical broke all type of records when played at Mexico City and the 3D re-release was a massive success back in 2011: it had a 9x multi, outgrossed Frankenwennie, held 8 weeks at Top 10 without even touching Top 3 and did 4x better than other 3D re-releases like Finding Nemo and Toy Story 2. So we can expect figures from $25M to anywhere in the sky.

     

    August

    • New Mutants. Wonder which one is going date-to-date with the US release: this one or Hobbs and Shaw? One of them has to move and probably is going to be this one. Anyway, not expecting much more than what Fantastic 4 grossed (between $5M and $8M).
    • Hobbs and Shaw. First spin-off of the franchise with two of the favorite characters. Should do well, with the mojo of the franchise and of their both leads is going to be fine grossing between $20M-$25M.

     

    September

    • It: Chapter 2. First It broke records for horror back in 2017 and grossed nearly $500M. With little competition for the moment it could become first horror $500M+ grosser.

     

    October

    • Joker. The acclaimed villain is one of the keys for The Dark Knight and Suicide Squad’s successes in the country. Watch a new version generates buzz and hype and the first look already proved it. It definitely could break Venom’s record and install a new record also for B-15 titles –if it gets it- even Wonder Woman/Justice League numbers wouldn’t be so shocking is reception is good. Right now let’s keep grounded and say it makes o/u $15M.
    • Zombieland 2. If there’s a movie that is a beloved comedy classic is first Zombieland and I dare to say that awareness for the sequel once material starts to show up is going to be quite large. Nostalgia is going to push it for an excellent opening at the least.

     

    November

    • Frozen 2. Is it going to be fine? Yes. Is it going to do stellar? Probably not as high as a Pixar sequel –let’s say MU or I2- but instead is going to play a la Ralph Breaks the Internet.

     

    December

    • Jumanji 2. First Jumanji was a pretty good winter surprise with exceptional legs so we can expect this one to stay at least flat from the first one, however, don’t think Cats to be another Greatest Showman, Episode IX won’t be a threat just like The Last Jedi wasn’t and Little Women won’t neither be a hit or even open on 2019. The only challenge could be Masters of the Universe –again, thanks nostalgia- but we don’t even know if actually is going to make it for this year. At the end, this has everything to dominate the winter and go for $20M+.
    • Star Wars: Episode IX. The Last Jedi underperformed big time and Solo flopped so what to expect from the ninth episode of this franchise? Is hard to predict a big title that you don’t even know where can go –like Endgame or Lion King- but harder one like this that comes from a weak franchise, could either increase thanks to being the final chapter but also could go down due to the mixed reception of Episode VIII and Solo’s flop.

    Wow, swanky... wonder if they'll re-do the Platino formats as well. Noticed that prices went slightly up. 

    Probably they'll do that to them too, although by the moment you can already purchase snacks and concessions through the app for VIP shows, that's something. 

     

    Yup, increases from 10% to 12%, a pretty big increase this time.

    In a surprising end of year, Cinépolis has changed their image and remodeling infrastructure with new and modern theatres where are less human employees and most of process are automated. This one is the first one and is located at Monterrey. In the upcoming months they'll add another one there and two at Mexico City. Pretty similar to some theatres at South Korea and China.

    WHAT TO EXPECT FROM 2019? FIRST HALF.

     

    January

    • Glass. Split emerged as one of the surprises of 2017 and Unbreakable gained popularity after it so now Glass has installed as one of the most anticipated releases of the year and the first big one. Glass could open with $70M+ and end up above $200M. Don’t surprise if breaks $100M lc ($5M USD) on first weekend and $250M lifetime.

    February

    • How To Train Your Dragon 3. Fox currently has this opening the first Friday of February, a month ahead of its US release which is a pretty smart move given Captain Marvel and Dumbo competition on March. Won’t double its numbers like HTTYD 2 did from the first one but expecting to keep on the same trails. 
    • The Lego Movie 2. Not expecting much, it’s going to deal with a lot of direct and indirect competition for the month after its release. Might top first Lego numbers ($160M lc) but not by a large margin. 
    • La Boda de Mi Mejor Amigo. Local remake of My Best Friend’s Weeding; should benefit from opening on Valentine’s Day but unlike this year’s La Boda de Valentine don’t think it’ll be leggy. 

    March

    • Captain Marvel. Predicting a first time solo SH movie has become a challenge after 2018 outperformances’ Black Panther and Aquaman. Captain Marvel carries the goodwill of the MCU and hype after the all-time champion Infinity War so the importance of their story previous to Endgame is vital for this one to smash the box-office. Might replicate a success between Spder-Man: Homecoming and Black Panther.
    • Dumbo. Between Captain Marvel and this one, March is going to be a preview to what the summer has for us and it may sound crazy but any of these two can win the month but I dare to say that this one has more chances to open higher. Dumbo is a beloved animation from north to south so it’ll probably end up somewhere between Jungle Book ($24M) and Beauty and the Beast ($30M).

     

    April

    • Shazam! Here comes the biggest challenge for the DC Universe since Green Lantern (and that didn’t end up pretty well): no star-power, no popular characters and open a week after a middle-size monster and three before the greatest monster of all. Anyway, it’s going to be fine if delivers but at a Doctor Strange/Ant-Man range.
    • The Course of La Llorona. So, this is a big dilemma for Warner; they should move this one because of the big one but if they move they put two of their releases to compete each other for screens and audience. They probably won’t move it so it’s going to struggle with legs but be sure that can open very very big, north of $5M
    • Avengers: Endgame. Here it is the big one, the greatest monster of all, the one that is almost certain to own 2019. The sequel to 2018’s hit Infinity War aims to break the records of its predecessor that includes biggest OD, OW and obviously the all-time crown. Should become third $1B lc grosser, but could it top Infinity War and even reach $1.2B lc? We’ll know in five months.

     

    May

    • Detective Pikachu. This is the ‘appealing to nostalgia’ of 2019 and is ready to “agüadar” (ruin) the party to Tony Stark & Co. when it opens on May. Keep an eye on it since it can gross over $20M.
    • Aladdin. Another nostalgia appealer. Is hard to know which one is going to be higher: this one or Dumbo, both are extremely popular but Dumbo has more demo reach than the Will Smith starring movie. However, that doesn’t repeals it of going for $20M+.
    • Godzilla: God Of Monsters. Yeah, this is the craziest summer in years. The sequel to the 2013’s hit arrives with hype and anticipation after the first trailer. Having scenes at Mexico City won’t help much (there you have Spectre) so it’s all up to Warner’s marketing and how of a crowd-pleaser is.

    June

    • Dark Phoenix. Not expecting much, surrounded by tons of competition and sense of laziness around the franchise won’t push it further of $12M-$15M, not bad result after all.
    • The Secret Life of Pets 2. First SLOP was a success and went over $400M lc but this one has a little problem called Toy Story 4, way bigger than what Finding Dory was for SLOP. Universal might decide to move it for the end of June but not expecting numbers ahead of its predecessor.
    • Toy Story 4. 2019 may be similar to 2018 when comes to Top 2: on the top a Marvel Studios long-awaited event and then a Pixar sequel to a beloved franchise. Toy Story 4 comes nine years after a third part that when it came out broke OD, OW and the all-time record, this might not come with the same level of awareness but it’s still part of a prevalent and strong franchise among pop culture and should pass $30M USD.

    FROM BOTTOM TO TOP: THE 2018 PERFORMANCES AT MEXICAN BOX OFFICE.

    With Aquaman, The Grinch, Ralph, Into the Spiderverse, Perfectos Desconocidos and Mary Poppins going on at the end of this piece and a few more days before 2018 ends let’s see some of the stories at Mexican box office this year, which is looking to gross over $16B MXN and collect 320M+ admissions. Another record-breaking year? We’ll have to wait and see.

     

    HITS

    • Avengers: Infinity War. Obviously. We start with the Marvel Studios’ epic celebration of their 10th anniversary. Breaking records with trailers, presales, midnights, opening day and opening weekend the third installment of the popular superhero group went to gross over $1.1B peso ($60M USD) and become highest grosser ever in lc, second largest grosser on USD and second biggest seller as for admissions.
    • Incredibles 2. Nostalgia does sells. Superheroes have been popular across the country all of the century, however, ten years ago it started to take more and more ground among audiences. Animations, also are heavily popular, specially Pixar’s that wheatear it is with original proposes (Inside Out), original proposes that also resonate as tribute to local audiences (Coco) or sequels to largely beloved properties (Toy Story 3, Monsters University) they draw huge crowds to the theatres. When you combine both of them you get Incredibles 2 which went to enjoy a very profitable run of $700M+ lc ($35M+ USD) and to take a spot as 3rd highest grossing animation ever only behind Pixar’s own Coco and Toy Story 3.
    • Overboard. Eugenio Derbez power (again). Yes, I know this grossed less than Fallen Kingdom but this is a bigger surprise given it came out amidst a crowded month and grew from How To Be a Latin Lover –Derbez’s previous hit- becoming highest grossing comedy ever and installing in the Top 25 all-time.
    • Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. Box office finds a way. After a very successful 2015 sequel, Fallen Kingdom came this june looking to hold well from first Jurassic World but not only did that but it increased to collect near $690M lc ($34M USD). 
    • Hotel Transylvania 3. Sony’s biggest title ever. Taking advantage of holidays the Sony animation crossed $500M with pretty good legs surpassing Spider-Man: Homecoming as the highest grosser of the studio.
    • Venom. We (Mexicans) are Venom. In the beginning of a crazy fall Venom showed up to break the record for the biggest opening in October, then it went to gross over $450M lc and become Sony’s 3rd highest grosser only behind Hotel Transylvania 3 and Spider-Man: Homecoming and only the second highest fall released title ever only under It. This is the result of a very well-known and beloved property and an effective marketing campaign.
    • The Nun. Mexico has been consistently the biggest market for the ‘Conjuring’ franchise and didn’t fail this time to deliver with The Nun which came above any other title of the franchise and only behind Warner’s own ‘It’ when come to horror movies in general. Yes, it had a crappy multi but both opening and final gross are huge for any type of movie, especially for those as cheap as this one.
    • Deadpool 2. The anti-hero returned this time only two weeks after Infinity War madness and it survived pretty good with an opening above the first one and eventually became the highest grosser for the ‘X-Men’ franchise and 3rd highest B-15 grossing title ever.  
    • Dr Seuss’ The Grinch. After being rejected by pretty much of all of Latin-America here the green creature pulled over $300M lc ($15M USD). Blame Universal, Eugenio Derbez and nostalgia for it.
    • Ralph Breaks the Internet. The sequel to the beloved Walt Disney Animation Studios did pretty well in here after it grossed over $350M at the time that these line are being written and now it’s WDAS’ biggest hit ever in the country.

    BREAKOUTS

    • Bohemian Rhapsody. You haven’t been a Mexican student if you’ve never played ‘We Will Rock You’ along your friends and partners while use the desks as drums. Since 80’s Queen is been insanely popular among Mexicans so when first Bohemian Rhapsody trailer came out it went viral to the levels of a Marvel Studios’ trailer. That was a sign but certainly nobody expected it to gross close to $400M lc ($20M USD) and easily beat any biopic or musical –with the exception of Beauty and the Beast- and become Fox’s biggest non-franchise title ever.
    • Black Panther. It was a tough decision to put this one on ‘hits’ or here on ‘breakouts’ but it ended up here because it had an unusual opening for a solo superhero movie and it held with monstrous legs. Back in February Black Panther installed itself as the highest opening ever for the month and legged towards $500M+ lc (close to $30M USD) that way becoming the 6th biggest Marvel Studios’ title ever only behind three Avengers, Civil War and Iron Man 3. This would’ve been expected from a Spider-Man, Iron Man or Batman title but not from Black Panther given how little antecedent was from it, it had only appeared one time before his solo and came to install as one of the most popular  heroes with only one solo. Kudos to Marvel Studios.
    • The Shape of Water. A movie about the love story of a woman and a sea creature featured at the 60s with a B-15 rating, discreet marketing and no power star was a tough sale but enough screens to create buzz along all the awards it was being nominated and winning and a Mexican writing and directed were going to make it up for the film’s box office. The Shape of Water started the year breaking out every single expectation, with dozens of sold-outs across the country and theatres adding more and more shows after winning two main Golden Globes. The Shape of Water held with insane legs (4.5x) and beat several blockbusters on the way to $280M lifetime gross, modest for a blockbuster but this was no blockbuster but a specialty low-key movie that came from nowhere. Tres Amigos power.
    • Aquaman. At the close of this piece Aquaman has almost locked $500M –it stands at $340M- after being the highest grossing December opening (3-Day) but still away from openings from characters such as Wonder Woman, Spider-Man, Black Panther and Iron Man. Legs for this one (estimated 3.3x-3.4x from 4-Day) resulted closer to December titles like first Hobbit (3.7x from 3-Day OW) rather than for other like The Force Awakens (2.5x from 4-Day OW) showing great word-on-mouth and result and a way less front-loaded title compared to most of superhero movies.
    • The Meg. Yeah, big monster movies are a hit in Mexico, there’s Godzilla, Kong and Rampage but this one topped them all by a very large margin thanks to very smart decisions made by Warner Bros: put it in a lazy august, create buzz with one of the loudest marketing campaigns of the year and release it in an aggressive number of screens. A few months later you have a hit that nears $400M lc due to pretty good legs.
    • The First Purge. The Purge is been a growing franchise in the country, yes but this time definitely exploded to almost $200M lc (close to $10M USD) when the previous Purge barely passed $100M, that’s huge for a horror movie that doesn’t stars a bunch of Losers and a clown or that isn’t part of the ‘Conjuring’ franchise.
    • Halloween. Fueled by loud trailers and a pretty good marketing by Universal it became the highest grosser slasher movie ever and took a spot in the Top 10 horror of all-time.

    SLEPPER-HITS

    • A Quiet Place. In the middle of a crowded market came this Paramount’s horror title that despite a quiet opening it never fell over 50% on its weekend-on-weekend numbers –except for when Infinity War opened- and just like its premise, with silent steps it came to a similar gross to movies like Split.
    • Book Club. Never topped #1, not even cracked Top 3 during its run but it had a 3x multi –even a 12x from previews- but the comedy went to gross close to $50M, very good for a title of this profile, a powerful counter-programmer for a summer full of superheroes.
    • Christopher Robin. This is the perfect example of a movie being underestimated by its own studio. Christopher Robin debuted last august in a very limited number of screens and despite that it had nearly a 4x multi and small drops w-o-w, wasn’t enough to become a huge hit but showed that Disney had indeed shoot on their own foot.
    • Smallfoot. It released in september with a modest opening but turned out to become Warner Animation’s biggest title ever, probably not comparable with Pixar or Illumination’s biggest hits but worked pretty good in a season with lack of family movies.
    • A Star Is Born. Another movie that closed a 4x multi. The Oscar-buzzy proposal helmed by Bradley Cooper and starring Lady Gaga quietly reached $80M in a land dominated by symbiotes and masked serial killers. With lower buzz and opening it finished with other titles like La La Land and Baby Driver.
    • La Boda de Valentina. The local title currently stands as the highest grosser local movie of the year, it opened the same week as Black Panther but it tripled its opening numbers and consolidated as another hit for Videocine.
    • Peter Rabbit. Perfect counter-programming for the families in spring break, had a 3x multi and enjoyed of an excellent result.
    • Insidious: The Last Key. Didn't exploded as The Purge but still domained the market and had a big bump from its predeccesor.  

     

    FLOPS

    • Solo: A Star Wars Strory. Just like everywhere else, the second spin-off of the Star Wars franchise failed miserably, here in Mexico didn’t even made it to $100M lc putting it below Rogue One’s… 4-day opening weekend.
    • A Wrinkle in Time. First non-documentary Disney release to fall short of 1M admissions since Finest Hours. Even John Carter and Tomorrowland were bigger hits.
    • Ana y Bruno. This is the most expensive Mexican animation ever, it costed $100M lc and took 10 years to be made. The film finished just under $20M lc.
    • First Man. Stories about US big accomplishments rarely resonate in Mexico and First Man wasn’t the exception. It opened along with other two adult-oriented movies and its lifetime gross was just enough the half of Interstellar’s first frame and 1/3 of Gravity’s opening weekend.

     

    UNDERPERFORMERS

    • Ant-Man and the Wasp. Barely topped the first Ant-Man whereas all of MCU titles have had bigger increases from first to second movie of between 30% to 40% but this one barely increased 13%.
    • Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald. About to finish behind first Fantasic Beasts and losing steam for the HP franchise.
    • Skyscraper. A hit but down compared to other disaster movies starring Dwayne Johnson like Rampage or San Andreas despite the well-oiled marketing machine of Warner Bros.
    • Ya Veremos. It had one of the best openings for a local movie and the best of the year but it crumbled after that first FSS frame and had awful legs compared to other local titles.
    • Pacific Rim: Uprising. A long-awaited sequel that didn’t lived up to the original’s hype and finished below it.

    Mexico Box Office | Inside Out 2 becomes highest grossing movie ever and first to cross $90M; good but softer than expected $12.6M OW for Despicable Me 4

    in International Box Office

    Posted · Edited by Carlangonz

    DECEMBER 19-23 WEEKEND. 5-DAY WEEKEND. AQUAMAN SHOWING STRONG LEGS WITH A POWERFUL HOLD. BUMBLEBEE UNDERPERFORMS IN OPENING AND MOST HOLDOVERS DO IT FINE.

     

    Aquaman

    - Running 4.37% ahead of Wonder Woman at same point of release (10 days vs 10 days) and 4.54% behind The Force Awakens (11 days vs 11 days).

    - With these legs now it should comfortably pass $400M and pass Wonder Woman’s lifetime.

     

    Bumblebee

    - On par with Age of Extinction’s 5-day previews 4 years ago. However, these are not comparable or maybe it does but that’s more disappointing for the spin-off. Yes, AoE did held a 5-Day previews OW but all shows were on 3D, weren’t wide and only on late-afternnon-night shows. Age of Extinction finished its run with $453M, Bumblebee might finish just over $220M.

     

    Dr Seuss’ The Grinch

    - Universal is making a huge effort to keep it in the biggest number of screens they can and now is reflected on stellar hold for both weekdays and weekend. Should pass $300M some point during this weekend.

     

    Bohemian Rhapsody

    - First movie since Coco to hold 8+ consecutive weekends at Top 10. Infinity War, Black Panther and Incredibles 2 all fell short by just one weekend and The Shape of Water did held 8 weekend but they weren’t consecutive.

    I thought that for next weekend Sony would be the studio dropping the ball with their release (Into the Spiderverse) but apparently that one is going to be Disney with Mary Poppins Returns. 

     

    Spiderverse is beating it in screen count -besides sharing all PLFs, 4Ds and IMAX with Bumblebee- and local remake Perfectos Desconocidos might do it too. After this, Aquaman performance and Bee's underwhelming opening i see it (Poppins) closer to Nutcracker's numbers rather than Greatest Showman's.

    Aquaman Friday update (boxofficepro.com):

    • Mexico (2nd w/e): $997k, rank #1 with a 43% share of the Top 5 films and a drop of just -38%. Cume to date: $13.3m.

    In line with the expected, should repeat weekend with $75M-$80M and north of $15M USD. 

     

    Bumblebee on the other hand, is barely making $75-$80M for the 5-Day OW. Unfortunate for the TF entry.
