Weekend August 22-25th. Title Weekend % Change Total 1 Once Upon a Time in Hollywood 64.508 New 64.508 2 The Lion King 59.821 -60% 2.302.567 3 Fast&Furious: Hobbs and Shaw 29.141 -60% 378.479 4 Angel has Fallen 20.950 New 20.950 5 Paw Patrol: Mighty Pups 16.782 -63% 133.862 6 Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark 16.136 -65% 74.670 8 Toy Story 4 13.539 -65% 3.183.293 9 Ready or Not 11.344 New 11.344 7 Araña 10.948 -56% 43.173 10 The Secret Life of Pets 2 5.328 -58% 493.175 Data courtesy of @dada . Once Upon a Time in Hollywood topped the chart. Very rare for a non-family movie to lead the chilean BO (usually only happens for horror). Everything else collapsed. TLK could still stabilize but everything else should be in "end of run" mode. Angel has Fallen opening is bad but is actually slightly better than the norm for the genre. TS4 fell a little short of my initial projection of 3,4m admission but is still an amazing result. HS will end with a retention rate of just 33% from Fate of the Furious. SLOP 2 will face a 62% decline from SLOP1

Thank You. And yeah, estadisticascine.cl is funded by the government but there wasn't any contract for this year (maybe because of the change of government) so they stopped. Last year they always released the info very late anyway.

Again courtesy of dada, updated all time top 10. 1 Toy Story 4* 3,164,349 2 Avengers: Endgame* 3,094,876 3 Avengers: Infinity War 2,334,956 4 Coco 2,240,711 5 The Lion King* 2,219,380 6 Minions 2,088,540 7 Stefan v/s Kramer 2,076,061 8 Ice Age 4 2,068,957 9 Incredibles 2 1,832,467 10 Avatar 1,653,130 *Until August 18th, Coco has gone from #1 to soon #5 in a little more than a year. Astounding. The number of screens has been growing at a rate close to 10% per year in the last few years, (+8,1% in 2017, +10,7% in 2018) and 2019 doesn't show any signs of slowing down. This huge increase in capacity has finally translated to admissions that had been stagnant since 2016.

Thanks to @dada for the info! TLK remained on top and will soon pass Coco and Infinity War to become the #3 movie of all time. No chance of keep climbing. Hobbs and Shaw hold decently and with little competition, it will reach a respectable total but still a very steep drop from the usual highs of FF franchise. Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark does well and Paw Patrol: Mighty Pups continues to do very well. Should reach a total close to Teen Titans Go to the Movies, 232k admissions. (it has until August 29th before Angry Birds 2 opens). Local film Araña, about far right terrorist group Patria y Libertad, did fairly well by local movie standards. On another hand, TS4 still has some steam left. It has been seen by 16% of the Chilean population.

OMG WHERE YOU GOT THAT INFO, Comscore? Thank you so much, I'm going to post it on the Chile thread. BTW, I think that SLOP2 total is missing a number.

Chile is 3.060.000

There was an official figure of 62m at mid May, should be higher but don't know how much (probably not that much).

what are they smoking?

Some of last weekend actuals: The Lion King 1 4 $804,555 -27.1% - - - $10,402,166 4 Hobbs and Shaw 2 4 $393,773 -45.6% 78 +2 $5,048 $1,321,361 2 Toy Story 4 3 4 $205,752 -36.9% - - - $15,126,003 8 Spiderman FFH 4 4 $93,590 -37.7% 54 -18 $1,733 $5,446,622 6 Relatively soft drops due to Children's day on Sunday. Everything else will crash very hard next weekend. TS4 total cume is actually 15,2m USD, but local currency experienced a very big drop last weekend and is near all time low, so totals in USD could start to get messsy for all the movies.

Amazing to see Chile in one of those lists. And with ER near all time low.

Top Weekend August 8-11th The Lion King Hobbs and Shaw Paw Patrol: Mighty Pups Toy Story 4 BTS: Bring the Soul It was Children's Day weekend that always serves as sugarcoating for the Winter's Holidays Hangover, especially for he family fare. TLK actually lost on Thursday to H&S, that means it is in full meltdown mode right now. If you want to grasp the extent to which animation dominates the market look no further than kiddie movie Paw Patrol, which managed a strong third place. In the battle of limited releases, BTS easily defeated the Endgame re-release (7th place) despite having a single day of showings in contrast with EG that played over all the weekend. So TS4 is more than safe as the 1# of all time.

And it happened. Toy Story 4 is now the most viewed movie ever in Chile with 3,1m admissions. It still has some steam left, enough to not be worried about the EG re-release on thursday. This quick dethroning serves as a revenge for Coco which suffered the same fate in 2018. Also, I feel this restores the balance that was missing. In a market like Chile is only natural for the most viewed movie to be animated, and really it was really weird for the top 2 to be avengers movies, considering that they are the only super-hero movies in the top 20. Also, the Lion King reaches 1,8m admissions and enters the all time top 10. ALL TIME TOP 10 Toy Story 4 (2019): 3.100.000 admissions * Endgame (2019): 3.070.000 * Infinity War (2018): 2.334.956 Coco (2017) – 2.241.155 Minions (2015) – 2.086.540 Stefan vs. Kramer (2012) – 2.076.061 Ice Age 4 (2012) – 2.068.957 The Lion King (2019) - (the press says "almost 1,8m" but if its 8th then it must be over I2) Incredibles 2 (2018) - 1.832.467 Avatar (2009) – 1.653.130 *Until August, 4th 6 animated movies, 6 Disney Movies (7 if you count Avatar).

Both are lame attemps at feelings and emotions that come across as incredibly forced, but at least TS4 is fairly funny, which Dory is not.

Titanic was seen by 10,5 % of Chilean population in 1998, Endgame was seen by 16% of Chilean population in 2019. (And by % of total population Titanic is beaten by basically every N°1 in existence in this country, so try again)

Some of last weekend actuals: July 25-28th The Lion King 1 4 $2,363,848 -34.5% - - - $7,648,077 Toy Story 4 2 4 $677,144 -30.2% - - - $14,403,770 6 Spiderman FFH 3 4 $370,241 -28.5% 84 -26 $4,408 $5,065,412 4 SLOP 2 4 4 $207,254 -9.4% 67 +1 $3,093 $1,860,407 4 Better late than never. The Lion King held well but unfortunately Winter's Holidays are over in most of the country and I don't see much staying power after that. It should still pass 10m USD with ease and join the all time top 10. TS4 hold is kinda bad, BUT I did the math and if its following Incredibles 2's avge ticket price then it could take the all-time crown as soon as this Sunday. Spidey outgrossed Black Panther and SLOP 2 outgrossed the OW of the first one.

Yes. The problem with delaying until summer is that the digital release hits in the middle of the run and after that piracy becomes rampant. Here's for example the effect it had in Coco (Coco was actually given a day to day release in Chile but it was so leggy that it still illustrates my point)

Southern cone countries are less super hero and more animation heavy, especially Argentina. In Chile i don't have exact admission data for Captain Marvel but the ratio for top 9 seems close to 69-70%. Now keep in mind that while Infinity War and Endgame both got the all time crown, they are the only super hero movies in the top 20.

Lol at Latin America and masculinity thing. What happened with Frozen and with all Disney's November releases is that November is a bad date for animation in the region. Disney know this and faces the dilemma:Give a day to day release and hope for the best or delay until summer and risk piratery. And with Frozen you have the additional problem of ¿who wants to see a movie about Ice kingdoms in summer? There's a reason that Moana was the most successful summer release in the region outside Coco which is a totally different league for obvious reasons. The fact is that June or July animated releases will ALWAYS gross more. Winter's Holidays are the Chinese New Year of South America. Coco already hit the ceiling of what can be achieved outside that period. Maybe Frozen 2 can match that considering it's going to have way better marketing but is totally unfair to ask it to be as big as TS4 or Minions. TS4 had the biggest BO period of the year, Frozen will face the worst one (Christmas - New Year blackhole) on its late run if given a day to day release

Yes, very much so. The series usally post some of the biggest OW in the region. That's why I doubt it will go that low.

Then why Chile went from 75 million admission in 1967 (with a population of 9 million) to 28m admission in 2018 (with a population of 18m)? And then why the number of cinemas in the center of the capital went from 37 in the 60's to just one today ? Is almost as there are different factors behind admissions than just population increase.

Not yet, I think it will happen on Children's day weekend on August 11th. It must be very close but sadly I haven't been able to get admissions data.

Hobbs & Shaw presales, 2 days before release, 17% of the market. 38 showtimes for OD | 8304 seats available | 491 tickets sold. Well, those are some godawful presales. They are... well... 12% above Dark Phoenix (520k USD OW) and... Almost double than Alita? As with Aladdin I kinda doubt it will go that low but who knows, we have had so many smash hits that the market probably doesn't have much money left and August-September is infamous for its post-Winter's Holiday hangover.

Chile all time record is also on the way if it has a good hold this weekend

You know what movie also came out before avatar? Ice Age 3 Brazil Fox 7/1/09 $4,557,572 10% $45,373,371 And guess what: It beats avatar in admissions. So yes, goddam the 3d. A Era do Gelo 3 2009 9 281 202 Avatar 2009 9 111 628 Then the Endgame European and Japanese performances aren't weak either.

Avatar doesn't dominate the animation movies that came before them, it sold less tickets, period. When Toy Story 4 beats Endgame in the next weeks in Chile no one will care that EG will be at 18,5m USD and TS4 at 15-16m USD. Avatar grossed more because children tickets have discount.
