    Well I said 450M for Ralph back in October but I really don't think it will get that far, considering the impeding release of The Grinch (with the voice of the best comedian in the world¡) unless it really holds well next week (certainly Instant Family will be some competition)

     

    Grindelwald is dying a slow death and will probably be spot on the 285M that I predicted¡ (At last I get one correct¡¡). The movie is really boring and it tries too hard to be connected to Harry Potter so no good WOM at all

     

    Bohemian I said 80M so that's was an obvious mistake. Will it get to 400M??? Will it be possible?

     

    And now for December, so let’s go and just throw numbers:

    The Grinch: 320M (this and Ralph will eat each other)

    Mortal Engines: 45M (who in god’s name put this movie against so many blockbusters??)

    Aquaman: 370M (looks fun, which gives it an advantage compared to JL)

    Bumblebee: 200M (boring)

    Mary Poppins Returns: 215M (not sure a musical animated hybrid will have that much traction)

    Spider-Man into the Spiderverse: 85M (well…it has Spider-Ham so that’s something)

    Perfectos Desconocidos: 105M (seen the Spanish one, loved it until the end, hope the Mexican one improves in that regard)

     

    I think Ralph is going to hold well next weekend, it has no direct competition and won't lose many screens. 

    Agree with Grinch, it'll lose mojo since it has to deal with Ralph, Aquaman and Bee. Btw I'm hearing that Universal is going to bring a subbed version, that's very rare but lately is happening with some animated films. 

     

    Instant Family has been doing well on previews, considering they've been in a handful of theatres and a few shows. It may be a sleeper-hit, although not as big as Wonder last year. 

     

    Bohemian has a small shot to $400M, we'll see how it goes.

  2. NOVEMBER 23-25 WEEKEND. RALPH BREAKS INTO THE WEEKEND ON THE TOP AND A NEW RECORD FOR WDAS. CRIMES OF GRINDELWALD DERAILS AND BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY IS THIRD WITH STELLAR LEGS.

     

    Ralph Breaks the Internet

    - Biggest launch for a Walt Disney Animation title; 126% ahead of Frozen, 112% ahead of Moana and 51% above Zootopia.

    - It has almost two weeks free before The Grinch opens, should finish o/u $300M but with a crowded December it’ll be hard for it to go further.

     

    Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald

    - 3.1% behind first Fantastic Beasts, however it had a weekend-to-weekend drop 13.5% bigger. First FB failed to reach $300M and this one is almost certain to fail too.

     

    Bohemian Rhapsody

    - Already surpassed Deadpool as 8th highest Fox grosser of all-time and is 11th highest grosser of the year, it’ll challenge Meg as 10th.

  3. Starting this weekend, Cinépolis is rising ticket prices by 10% in all their complexes and for all formats. 

     

    Hasn't seen or heard anything about Cinemex but wouldn't surprise if they do it before winter season begins. 

     

    We'll see how this affects big releases upcoming, from Grinch until Creed 2.

    Hope Roma expands, should resonate with the audience in these transition times.

    Any negotiation with Cinépolis/Cinemex is beyond dead, Cinemex hasn't said anything but Cinépolis declared through their PR department that they won't show the movie as long as Netflix refuses to accept a 3-month release window before its arrival to the streaming platform. 

     

    However, near 60 theatres are ready to open the film between Nov 29 and Dec 6, -some of them are already sold-out for first weekend- and more theatres are still being added, all of them from independent chains and State-owned theatres (Cinetecas). Still, kinda sad this isn't getting a wider reach.

  5. Tickets for Aquaman are now on sale, it's opening on Dec 13th with 10 PM previews on Dec 12th. 

     

    Disney is been somehow lazy with WiFi Ralph marketing, but with lack of an animation since Smallfoot i guess it'll have a decent opening. 

     

    Roma is opening at 6 screens this wednesday and has sold-out 3 of them for the first 5 days. Netflix has tried to reach an agreement with Cinépolis and Cinemex to make it to more screens, could it make it?

  6. NOVEMBER 16-18 WEEKEND. CRIMES OF GRINDELWALD OPENS SLIGHTLY AHEAD PREDECESSOR. BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY CROSSES $300M LC AND NEARS A 3X MULTI. REMAINING HOLDOVERS GET THE IMPACT AND CRASH.

     

    Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald

    - 3.5% over first Fantastic Beasts, internal multi very similar to that one too which means it was equaly front-loaded across the weekend.

    - Doesn’t have direct competition but Ralph is taking away screens from it this friday, then Robin Hood in two and Grinch in three. We’ll see how it stands but should end in the same area as Ant-Man and the Wasp and The Shape of Water ($270M-$280M)

     

    Bohemian Rhapsody

    - Good drop considering the Newt/Dumbledore/Grindelwald storm, plus, it’s still playing excellent on weekdays. Should pass $350M and come close to $380M, but could finish higher if manages to pull a big PSA.

  7. NOVEMBER 09-11 WEEKEND. BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY PASSES THE GREATEST SHOWMAN AND HEADS TOWARDS $300M LC. OPENERS DON’T SURPRISE AND VENOM ABOUT TO GO AS ONE OF 35 HIGHEST GROSSERS EVER.

     

    Bohemian Rhapsody

    -Already surpassed lifetime gross of last winter’s hit The Greatest Showman.

    - If we consider this as a ‘musical’ then is already second biggest musical of all-time only behind Beauty and the Beast. Among biopics it is already #1.

     

    TO PUT SOME PERSPECTIVE ON THIS WEEKEND FLOPS…

    The Girl in the Spider’s Web

    -33.36% behind The Girl on the Train and on par with Gone Girl.

     

    First Man

    -Above 1/3 of Interstellar’s opening and less than half of Blade Runner 2049’s first frame. Leave alone bigger comps as Gravity or The Martian.

    The first did almost 300M lc, ER was much better back then.

    FB2 should open to 100M lc ($5M), but legs will be affected by The Grinch so 250M lc ($12.5M) is its highest achievable goal in my book.

    Sounds about right. I think the HP franchise is developing a similar problem like the SW franchise and is that no one except the fanbase gets hyped about a new film. And Warner's marketing really hasn't helped. 

     

    The only way i could see a HP movie making big numbers -let's say $400M+- is if they make a sequel from the original series, if not then this franchise is going to the same status as the Star Wars saga.

    Well. I'm glad I don't do this for a living. 100 Million for Bohemain Rhapsody??? In no way I thought this would gross as much. I like Queen but didn't think the whole country loves them¡

    Well, first trailer had social media activity only compared to a Marvel title, Fox was aggressive with marketing and presales were out of this world compared to any biopic and musical. It was a perfect combination of factors.

    Loca por el Trabajo can be a surprise but I haven't seen that much promotion for this one. First Man and Spider's Web will compete for the adult market so neither will break. I was really looking forward to see First Man until I began reading reviews it just sounds looooong.

    Loca por el Trabajo can have a good opening but can't see it with legs, recently all local titles with good/excellent openings are more front-loaded than usual.

     

    Never expected anything extraordinary foe neither First Man or Girl in Spider's Web, none of them seemed attractive for the market.

     

    Saw First Man yesterday, didn't felt it long but it was ok at best, didn't loved it.

  10. NOVEMBER 02-04 WEEKEND. BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY ROCKS THE BOX OFFICE AND OUTGROSSES COMPS. NUTCRACKER DEBUTS AHEAD OF CHRISTOPHER ROBIN AND WRINKLE IN TIME AND VENOM REACHES $450M LC.

     

    Bohemian Rhapsody

    - Already outgrossed final numbers of titles such as A Star Is Born, La La Land, Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again and Straight Outta Compton.

    - Next week should beat final gross of The Greatest Showman. Also, we’ll give an idea if this can leg towards $300M, but we should seriously consider the possibility.

     

    The Nutcracker and the Four Realms

    -174% ahead of A Wrinke in Time and 91% ahead of Christopher Robin. Should pass $100M if it doesn’t collapse, it doesn’t face competition until Ralph Breaks the Internet.

     

    Halloween

    -Has a chance to surpass The Conjuring as 6th highest horror film of all-time, also it could pass Anabelle as 5th.

    And I was wrong! Bohemian Rhapsody opened to a great $5.8M, over 100M lc.

     

    Told ya' since beginning of the year that this was going to break-out. Mexico lovesssss Queen. 

     

    Actually Friday night i expected $85M+ but yesterday and today started to take screens from other movies including Nutcracker (lol).

    Yeah. With that line-up that's going to be crazy. Specially because Mortal Engines, Bumblebee and Aquaman will eat each other. Aquaman does look interesting and will surely be the winner of these three but not sure if it will get to 400 Million total (like WW or JL did). Mortal Engines will die a horrible death with so much competition. Mary Poppins Return will have to take a back seat to the Grinch and Perfectos Desconocidos will probably get to 100M it if is funny. 

     

    And... Bohemian Rhapsody do you really think this will have such a great opening? More than 50 Million only on opening? That would really be crazy but hey you always know more than I do 😃.

    Nutcracker will not get to 100Million although I really want to see it.

     

    It's very likely that Warner moves Aquaman to the 14th, if they decide to go with it then Mortal Engines is beyond dead.

     

    Mary Poppins could be a surprise hit but the original isn't really popular or known so could go either way, however i do believe Disney is going to put a lot of effort to it so it could become a success.

     

    People who saw Perfectos Desconocidos at Morelia Film Fest say it'll play good with audiences, we'll see if Manolo Caro can replicate its success from TV (or well, Netflix) to movies.

     

    About Bohemian Rhapsody, buzz through social media is big and marketing is everywhere, giving a look at presales i could argue that even $60M-$70M are on the cards but don't know how front-loaded is going to be from opening day and number of screens might limit it.

  13. Disney has decided not to extend the run for Coco re-release, so at the end won't top IW but at least it'll cross 24M admissions. 

     

    Bohemian Rhapsody and Nutcracker are both opening at 1,800+ screens, the former is getting IMAX and PLF screens and the later has received 4D screens. 

     

    Bohemian Rhapsody opening will be over or under Mamma Mia 2 lifetime gross ($50M)? 

     

    Nutcracker will be another Solo/Christopher Robin and fall short of $100M?

  14. OCTOBER 26-28 WEEKEND. HALLOWEEN REPEATS ON TOP AS IT BECOMES BLUMHOUSE’S HIGHEST GROSSER; HOUSE WITH A CLOCK HAS A MEH OPENING AND COCO RETURNS FOR A WEEK.

     

    Halloween

    -Already topped titles such as Split and A Quiet Place. Is going to cross $200M by Thursday and should finish with $220M+

     

    The House With a Clock in its Walls

    -A little behind Goosebumps 2 which came out three weeks ago, with a crowded market probably won’t pass further $60M-$70M

     

    Coco

    -It keeps playing until Thursday, but Disney has decided to down ticket prices for all shows of the week, it needs about $27M to take back the all-time crown.

  15. A Star Is Born has legged towards $60M, a quite good 3x multi and is looking to finish with $70M. It has passed Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again but is finishing behind La La Land.

     

    This friday opens Bohemian Rhapsody (known in the country as The Story of Freddie Mercury) and should top easily the three films already mentioned, but by how much? Could it reach Greatest Showman's heights?

  16. Halloween is comfortably repeating on top for the weekend after passing $150M today.

     

    Coco and House with a Clock in its Walls are fighting over families to win no. 2 for the frame with $14M-$18M each one. Coco's total gross would be between $1,015-$1,020 by the end of the weekend, it would need an extension for another weekend to take back the all-time title from Infinity War.

  17. December is going to be such a monster month, is very very crowded, just confirmed dates for the most important movies:

     

    Dec 7 - Grinch

    Dec 14 - Mortal Engines

    Dec 19 - Bumblebee 

    Dec 21 - Aquaman. Although Warner doesn't know what to do with this one while ironically is the one with most potential for the season along with Grinch.

    Dec 25 - Mary Poppins Returns and Into the Spiderverse.

    Jan 1 - Bad Times at El Royale

     

    And that's not including local titles with some mojo.

     

    Last year The Last Jedi was buried by Jumanji and The Greatest Showman, this year which could be the buried ones and the successful ones?

    Spot on for FB2

    Less for WiR2

     

    This weekend Halloween should repeat on top and #2 is going to be a race between House of Clocks in its Walls, Coco and Museo.

     

    Coco is going over 1,500 screens, seems Pixar wants that record back.

    @Carlangonz

    realistically how high can Coco get? Please say it can top IW again

    Honestly this is by far the biggest re-release i've seen for any film, it's a wide re-release (over 1,000 screens) but it's only for a week and don't think can do good enough to pass IW.
