Weekend Placement's, October 18th to 21th Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday 1 Venom Venom Venom Venom 2 Smallfoot Halloween Halloween Halloween 3 Halloween Smallfoot Smallfoot Smallfoot 4 Peppermint Peppermint Peppermint Peppermint 5 A Star is Born A Star is Born A Star is Born A Star is Born After an unusually strong start of the month, October went back to its usual self: desolation at the box office. At least Sony and Universal are starting to displace WB movies so there at least some actuals to report. Venom grossed $361,749, a drop of -43% for a $2,558,222 USD cume. The hold is bad considering that it has zero competition whatsoever. It is, however, a better hold than GotG2 and is now running 6% ahead. Continues on track to 3M USD and a little more. Halloween debuted with $269,000 which is also bad but not terrible, more disappointing than anything. Peppermint was fourth and ASIB held nicely on fifth, though with tiny numbers. All those movies grossed at least more than 55k which what Goosebumps did on 6th place.

I think Sony was dumb not releasing this on Japan, if Peter Rabbit can do $10M there I don't see why this can't do the same. Not like it matters much now, another solid win for the franchise.

If you want to keep talking about politics go to the sub forum that is dedicated to that. Don't mix it with box office commentary.

Seeing a lot of hype for this on chilean social media, many many reactions just for the posters. Can see it doing Conjuring Universe numbers here. BTW, fix the title. Is "Llorona", no "Llorana"

Weekend Placement's, October 11th to 14th Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday 1 Venom Venom Venom Venom 2 Smallfoot Smallfoot Smallfoot Smallfoot 3 The Nun The Nun The Nun The Nun 4 A Star is Born A Star is Born Goosebumps 2 Goosebumps 2 5 Goosebumps 2 Goosebumps 2 A Star is Born A Star is Born Venom held strong with a 38% drop and a $625,798 for the weekend, with a running total of $1,846,535. It is following GOTG2 so it should clear $3M USD and maybe more since there really isn't anything big opening until November besides maybe Halloween. Goosebumps 2 and ASIB fought for the fourth spot over the weekend, Goosebumps 2 grossed $114,879 which honestly is very mediocre /outright bad (for both movies, since ASIB likely grossed around the same) considering they were wide releases.

Glad that Saludos Amigos (apparently) isn't making in to the list. Got worried when I saw it in a few lists.

It has a floor of 500k admissions but could reach 700k with good WOM and little competition (it at least has the latter). Smallfoot opened slightly lower than Storks (which also opened on Cinema's Day weekend) and held slightly worse. Right now is running at 92% of Storks and if it is able to sustain that ratio it will reach 470k admissions, second best for WB animation. A Simple Favor opening is bad while all the other holdovers fell very hard because of cinema's day effect last week. The Nun will reach 1M admission soon and will be the second best entry of the Conjuring Universe after Conjuring 2

Did some math on the average ticket price in USD for Venom across Latin America. Colombia: 3,56 Argentina: 3,76 Chile: 6,72 Perú: 4,44 Brasil: 4,61 (will vary a lot) Uruguay: 8,28 Paraguay: 5,70 Bolivia: 8,21 Mexico: 3,06 The tragedy of this region is that it seems that the bigger the market, the lower the price.

This will be the last thing I'll comment on the topic of the elections because I know how annoying is to have foreigners telling you what you should vote. However, I have to laugh very hard at the prospect of giving "concern about dictatorships" as a reason to vote for Bolsonaro . BTW @Fullbuster, he said some things today, he wants to privatize state owned enterprises, after having previously said that the people who propose that should have its nationality revoked. Seems pretty trustworthy . Kinda reminds me of Jimmy Morales of Guatemala, but whatever, vote whatever you want, just own the consequences in the aftermath.

Weekend Placement's, October 4th to 7th Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday 1 Venom Venom Venom Venom 2 Smallfoot Smallfoot Smallfoot Smallfoot 3 The Nun The Nun The Nun The Nun 4 The Predator The Predator The Predator The Predator 5 A Simple Favor A Simple Favor A Simple Favor The House with a clock in its walls Venom debuted at the top with an excellent $998,672 USD. This opening is higher than Guardians of the Galaxy 2, Ant-Man and the Wasp, Thor Ragnarok, and every non-avenger phase 2 MCU movie. This ended the 2-month WB's stranglehold on the Box Office. Meanwhile, A Simple Favor had a decent debut mostly on the 5th place over the weekend. It appears that weekly data is going to be late again, I will post them as soon as they become available.

And according to the Mexico thread is looking good there also . Tomorrow there will be some South American numbers, let's see how it does around here.

They operate under the assumption that the Brasilian left is literally the devil and the guy who have switched parties 9 times is gonna stick to his world this time and be market-friendly. Obviously they believe him because he is not a leftist. You know why the real got under $4 USD? Because a single poll showed Bolsonaro gaining a couple of points. Really disgusting. I have some news, but they are in spanish Euphoria in Brazilian markets after favorable poll for Bolsonaro ; Markets vote for far right Bolsonaro in Brazil

The non devastating result for the "market" would be a clear Bolsonaro win, so I would rather have the ER tanking that a victory of the "market-friendly" fascist. Really, those investment people make me sick

Weekend Placements, September 27th to 30th Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday 1 The Nun The Nun Smallfoot Smallfoot 2 Smallfoot Smallfoot The Nun The Nun 3 The Predator The Predator The Predator The Predator 4 The House with a clock in its walls The House with a clock in its walls The House with a clock in its walls The House with a clock in its walls 5 Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum The Meg The Meg Warner Bros has achieved two months at the top of the Chilean Box office as Smallfoot displaces the Nun. This may or may not continue next weekend since I have no idea how Venom is going to perform. Another novelty is the good result of the Korean movie Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum which was 5th and 6th over the weekend. Sunday was Cinema's day with tickets at $2,3 dollars and from what I could see it was very strong, Smallfoot being particularly ridiculous since it sold out every non-early morning showtime that I checked.

Storks: 110M USD Lego Batman: 136M USD Lego Movie: 211M USD Also: Australia $1.4 million and Brazil with $1.3 million. Mexico Opening is 48% higher than Storks. Australia 40% higher, Brasil 14% lower. Chile is having sellouts due to Cinema's day. Could be being mildly successful in LA because there is little animated competition.

At the rate at which your currency is depreciating, Argentina box office will end up the same size as Chile in dollars. If I'm doing the math right the average ticket price in USD was already at Perú-levels before today's depreciation. Do you know what was the overall gross in USD for 2017? Edit: Though I'm seeing that inflation this year will be 42% . Has the ticket price increased that much?

Soft drops all around thanks to post-Fiestas Patrias recovery (although that week itself was fairly good). The Nun is having nice holds considering WOM isn't really good and will likely pass previous Conjuring Universe entries, three-week cume is 3,969 M USD. The Predator opened decently and held strong. The House also had an ok opening. The Meg is enjoying a strong late run and has grossed 3,493 M USD, very solid result. Alpha crossed 100k admissions thanks to strong legs, but Teen Titans holds are just spectacular: second single-digit drop in a row, passed 200k tickets with ease and has outsold Solo by 26%, yay! It has grossed 900k USD, making Chile one of its largest international markets, seventh biggest (something that AFAIK hasn't happened with any other Holywood movie, Coco was the closest I knew with Chile being the 11th largest OS market for it). Very smart release date by WB. The new releases had mixed results, Searching is fairly ok considering it opened in just 25 screens but CRA is just a bomb (although 34 screens aren't that much either). The lion king re-release increased for second consecutive week and I'm positively surprised by its performance, spells well for next year remake. I want to highlight The Wife, which was eleventh with 4,482 admissions from 12 screens and is having superb results on its limited release, very rare forms limited release to hold flat for three weeks. This weekend has Cinema's Day on Sunday, so next week admissions will be inflated and gross deflated.

Top 6 Weekend from September, 20th to 23th. The Nun House with a clock in its walls The Predator The Meg Teen Titans go to the movies Alpha There were some actuals released: The House grossed $231k USD. It's fine, much more than I expected. Interestingly enough, apparently the box office received a significant boost in the weekend. Alpha, for example, grossed 116k USD, up 31% from last weekend, despite being leapfrogged by Teen Titans which must have increased even more. This was caused because last weekend was depressed due the holidays + many people took the whole week off

New releases this weekend: The house with a clock in its walls ; Crazy Rich Asians ; Searching The house with the clock debuted at second, but until getting last week actuals I can't tell if that is because it had a good result or because Predator was extra weak. Searching was seventh and CRA bombed spectacularly at ninth, which is really, really bad. If it doesn't recover during the weekend it could have an under 10k admission opening week! Also, I have stopped posting Mojo's USD actuals since this month the box office has been dominated by WB which doesn't report Chile's numbers and now Fox which does when it feels like doing it (and it didn't feel like it for Predator) I will probably post them again when Venom opens given that next week Smallfoot is almost guaranteed to win the weekend.

The Nun had a huge opening week of around 2M USD yet at the same time is kinda underwhelming. is below Anabelle 2: Creation and given that WOM is bad, it will likely struggle with holds though very light competition should help. All other holdovers fell hard due the Nun with the exception of Teen Titans, which is now locked to outsell Solo , the animated flick has passed 600k USD . The Meg crossed 2 Billion CLP milestone, or around 3,1M USD (For all Warner movies my estimates are the best you are going to get). Alpha had a very good opening for the kind of movie it is. The rest of the top 10 is rather weak, and a Lion King Re-Release managed to get to 10th place. Very deep down on the list, on 19th place, the new release Happy Time Murders barely attracted 1.138 people on 12 screens. Amazingly terrible, for comparison MI: Fallout managed 1.411 admissions from 6 screens on its seventh week.

TOP 7: Weekend from September 13th to 16th. The Nun The Predator (new) The Meg Alpha Teen Titans Go to the movies Mamma Mia, here we go again!  The Stolen Princess (new) Again no change in placements during the weekend, this time for the whole top 7. The only novelty here is Predator at second place (very decent) and the ukranian animated release "the stolen princess" which is also being released in other Latin American countries. Anyway, Chile right now is on a 5 day extended holiday for Fiestas Patrias (independence day and national holidays), but this kind of holiday, like Christmas, has the effect of depressing the box office, since people are too busy expending time with family, friends, or getting drunk in fondas and ramadas. This will also mean that weekly data on admission will be available very late, not before Thursday for the week from September 5th to 12th.
