Second weekend for Dune 2 saw around R$7.7M, and excelent 23% drop. Who won the weekend though is question for tomorrow to answer.

Os Farofeiros 2 released on the first place yesterday with R$1M and 58k admissions. That is a good opening, compared to the first movie is similar on the box office for the first day, down 15k+ on admissions Dune 2 is in second on thursday not that far behind, around R$800-900k and 620k admissions total and both should fight for the lead on weekend. No Way Up is in 3rd with 8k admissions, Madame Web is down from a cliff decreasing 70% from last thursday while Anatomy of a Fall have a massive 124% boost.

This weekend's screen count: -Os Farofeiros 2: 1000 screens -No Way Up: 410 screens -Apaixonada: 235 screens -Leave: 115 screens -Iron Claw: 97 screens -All of Us Strangers: 65 screens -Vocal Livre: 20 screens -2 Days in Mariupol: 19 screens -Four Daughters: 14 screens So, Os Farofeiros 2 got a bigger rollout than Dune 2 lol. I hope there is a good reason behind that because pre-sales for sure are not good right now, but I'll give the benefit of the doubt since the first one was a big hit. Fun fact, that Leave movie with 115 screens is from 2022, it only got a release in Brazil now.

Last weekend, around 7.3% of all tickets sold from Dune 2 came from Imax, a total of 30.5k tickets sold. Yesterday Dune 2 sold 52k tickets.

Box office 29 february - 03 march Movie Box Office (R$) Change (%) Total (R$) Admissions Admissions total (Est) 1 Dune - Part 2 10.190.000 --- 10.190.000 414.520 414.520 2 Bob Marley - One Love 2.550.000 -42.8% 19.710.000 109.570 1.120.000 3 Anyone But You 2.400.000 -42.6% 36.310.000 109.560 1.990.000 4 Madame Web 1.690.000 -62.2% 17.090.000 81.720 1.060.000 5 The Boy and the Heron 1.260.000 -28% 4.530.000 59.450 300.150 6 Ferrari 1.150.000 -46.5% 4.090.000 41.170 229.980 7 Poor Things 1.050.000 -28.5% 12.830.000 43.380 610.770 8 Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaba- To the Hashira Training 1.010.000 -62.7% 4.650.000 48.510 345.680 9 Land of Bad 960.000 --- 1.650.000 43.190 70.060 10 The Snow Princess and the Queen 580.000 --- 580.000 27.110 27.110 1M tickets were sold and R$25M on the box office, down 12% from last weekend. I, for one, am proud of nailing it with my Dune 2 predictions lol. And just like I predicted, saturday was really strong with most movies doubling from the previous day and that helped all the movies to compensate the poor thursday and friday. Dune 2's opening is twice of the original, I would expect strong legs. This weekend Demon Slayer passed Swordsmire and it is now the highest grossing movie from the franchise, and Boy and the Heron passed Spirited Away's R$2.6M total and it is now the highest grossing original anime. Next weekend releases The Iron Claw, All of Us Strangers, No Way Up, Os Farofeiros 2, Apaixonada and 20 Days in Mariupol.

Any idea when Godzilla x Kong will start the pre-sales?

Yeah the first one is comparing to the opening of the first Dune in local currency and the second one in dollars. The brazilian real is a bit stronger now than from when Dune 1 released.

Dune part 2 released with R$1.6M on the box office and 73.8k tickets. The opening was 95% above the first day of the previous movie and it still looks good for a R$10M opening, but yes unfortunately it did hit the lower end of expectations and I will not say that opening is locked anymore. BUT do not blame the movie as the whole day was absolute shit. All the movies had a 60%+ and 70%+ drops, as it was the first day after the end of Cinema Week and theaters are back to normal prices. We will probably see the legs game on Dune 2.

The 4th Cinema Week have ended with 3.2M admissions and R$41M on the box office. I compared to the previous editions bellow, during the period One Love passed 1 million admissions (7th movie to do this year), Madame Web should become movie no. 8 to do it so around friday while Anyone But You should also become movie no. 2 this year to pass 2 million admissions this weekend. 1st Cinema Week (09/22): R$35.8M/ 3.2M admissions (No1 movie: Orphan First Kill) 2nd Cinema Week (02/23): R$42.3M/ 3.8M admissions (No1 movie: Puss in Boots 2) 3rd Cinema Week (09/23): R$39M/ 3M admissions (No1 movie: Sound of Freedom) 4th Cinema Week (02/24): R$41M/ 3.2M admissions (No1 movie: One Love)

DUNE PART 2, NATAL T-1 T-1 Cinemark: 5 showings, 1483 seats, 155 sold (10.45%) T-1 Cinepolis: 8 showings, 1294 seats, 53 sold (4.1%) T-1 Moviecom: 5 showings, 768 seats, 33 sold (4.3%) T-1 Cineflix: 6 showings, 1604 seat, 131 sold (8.17%) T-1 Total: 24 showings, 5149 seats, 374 sold (7.26%) COMPS: GotG3 (72.5%) - R$2.25M Oppenheimer (83.67%) - R$1.95M The Flash (81.13%) - R$1.74M The Marvels (183.33%) - R$3.3M Been a while since I haven't done a comp like these, anyway good and bad news: bad news, pacing during the final couple of day was good but not excelent. That was the time Flash and Oppenheimer really exploded and Dune haven't repeated that. Good news, more of a theory of mine but I feel that is due to the last days of Cinema Week and the cheaper tickets from other movies playing now, and if that was the case you should expect a lower thursday and a stronger saturday/sunday. Right now though I would manage expectations, I haven't seen proof yet of a big breakout unless walkups are really good, but I am still confident on it greatly beating the first movie and I will stand firm on a R$10M+ weekend opening and will be very disapointed if it falls bellow that.

I do think it will do much more than that, but there isn't much we can do with the data we have right now until pre-sales actually starts and we see how the awareness translates to $$$

Box office 22 - 25 february (Cinema Week) Movie Box Office (R$) Change (%) Total (R$) Admissions Admissions total (Est) 1 Madame Web 4.470.000 -25.1% 13.440.000 361.830 816.000 2 Bob Marley - One Love 4.460.000 -14.7% 14.830.000 337.040 828.000 3 Anyone But You 4.250.000 +0.4% 31.740.000 334.000 1.687.000 4 Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaba- To the Hashira Training 2.710.000 --- 2.710.000 219.590 219.590 5 Ferrari 2.100.000 --- 2.100.000 131.680 131.680 6 The Boy and the Heron 1.750.000 --- 1.750.000 139.770 139.770 7 Poor Things 1.470.000 -27.2% 10.940.000 102.130 502.000 8 Nosso Lar 2 - Os Mensageiros (Our Home 2 - The Messengers) 934.000 -48.9% 31.190.000 75.940 1.538.000 9 Minha Irmã e Eu 784.000 +53.7% 42.900.000 65.280 2.225.000 10 The Blue Whale 700.000 --- 700.000 59.980 59.980 2.1M tickets were sold during the weekend and R$27.7M on the box office, in admissions it was the best weekend since the Barbenheimer weekend. On the box office this was the most profitable weekend of the Cinema Week ever, on admissions it lost only to the first one. Despite losing the 1st place Madame Web came back to the top and the first 3 movies finished really close to each other. Now, both Madame Web and One Love are locked to pass 1 million admissions. Demon Slayer had, by far, the best opening of the franchise, above Mungen Train's R$552k and Swordmire Village's R$1.9M. On admissions is had almost the triple the opening of Swordmire and already passed it's total (150k). Boy and the Heron also had the best opening for an original anime of all time and should have no trouble on passing Spirited Away's R$2.7M total to become the best selling too. The Cinema Week will continue until wednesday and then after it will release Dune Part 2, Land of Bad (That was delayed last minute), Teacher's Lounge, Snow Princess & the Queen and IO Capitano.

The first day of Cinema Week sold 272.6k tickets and around R$3.27M on the box office. That improved to the last two Cinema Weeks openings, losing only to the first one. Both the anime movies broke records on this period, Demon Slayer had the best first day from the franchise and Boy and the Heron had the best opening for an original anime. One Love broke the 500k admissions mark and Madame Web was the only movie to be down from last thursday, even with the discounted tickets. Here is how each movie did last thursday: 1) One Love: R$559.2k/ 46.6k admissions 2) Anyone But You: R$526.8k/ 43,9k admissions 3) Madame Web: ~R$500k/ ~40k admissions 4) Demon Slayer: R$460.8k/ 38.4k admissions 5) Ferrari: R$235.3k/ 14.9k admissions 6) Boy and the Heron: R$209.5k/ 16.6k admissions

7 days to release, Dune 2 keeps having healthy pre-sales each day, it still remains comparable to The Flash and confortably ahead of Oppenheimer at the same timeframe. Pretty huge demand for premium screens too. It did not showed signs of a huge breakout yet but I am fairly confident at least a R$10M+ opening should be a lock.

Monday-wednesday (19-21 february) mid-week box office: 1) One Love: R$1.6M/ 98.1k admissions 2) Madame Web: R$1.3M/ 88.4k admissions 3) Anyone But You: R$1.13M/ 71.2k admissions 4) Poor Things: R$530k/ 28k admissions 5) Nosso Lar 2: R$466k/ 30k admissions The reign of Madame Web lasted short. The mid-week was pretty weak, probably due to the imminent discount.

This weekend's screen count: Ferrari - 690 screens Demon Slayer - 500 screens Boy and Heron - 281 screens (Largest release from a Ghibli movie to date) Blue Whale - 260 screens Levante - 30 screens

Damn I need a lawyer

R$43.8M for Wonka, R$79.1M for Aquaman 2.

Box office 15 - 18 february Movie Box Office (R$) Change (%) Total (R$) Admissions Admissions total (Est) 1 Madame Web 5.970.000 --- 7.570.000 280.000 360.000 2 Bob Marley - One Love 5.230.000 --- 8.670.000 224.460 390.000 3 Anyone But You 4.230.000 -7% 26.370.000 194.000 1.276.000 4 Poor Creatures 1.870.000 +2.2% 8.890.000 72.000 365.000 5 Nosso Lar 2 - Os Mensageiros (Our Home 2 - The Messengers) 1.820.000 -34.7% 29.730.000 80.000 1.416.000 6 Baghead 1.111.000 -37.6% 4.260.000 52.540 216.595 7 The Zone of Interest 970.000 --- 1.440.000 36.970 54.648 8 Masha and the Bear: Double the Fun 950.000 --- 1.580.000 52.540 85.524 9 Wish 530.000 -45.6% 36.220.000 26.000 1.838.000 10 Minha Irmã e Eu 510.000 -51.9% 41.950.000 23.520 2.145.000 R$25.5M was made during the weekend and 1.14M tickets were sold, up 36% from last weekend. Madame Web and One Love fought for the first place with MW winning the weekend, but there is very little reason to celebrate: It was the worst opening for a Marvel movie in 12 years, only better than Ghost Rider 2 that made R$5.9M back in 2012. On the long counting pre-sales One Love won, opening above Elvis's R$4.9M. Other one that deserves praise is Poor Creatures that managed to increased and it is showing tremendous legs. Aquaman 2 is now finally out of the list just like Argylle. Now 6 movies have passed 1 million admissions this year. Next weekend is Cinema Week with the release of The Boy and the Heron (The movie already made R$280k from special screenings), Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaba, Ferrari, Land of Bad, The Blue Whale, Levante and Cedo Demais.

The first 24 hours of pre-sales of Dune 2 are just a little above those from The Flash. That is decent actually, given that The Flash opened with R$16M+ and the first Dune opened with "only" R$5M.

Announced a while ago, the 4th Cinema Week will start on february 22nd, where tickets will be cheaper alongside food combos. Reminder that these boost box office a lot.

Madame Web will probably lead the weekend, but I don't think One Love will be far behind

Monday-wednesday (12-14 february) mid-week box office: 1) Anyone But You: R$3.9M /196k admissions 2) Bob Marley: R$3.2M/ 163k admissions (3 days of previews) 3) Aquaman 2: R$1.5M/ 80k admissions 3) Madame Web: R$1.5M/ 80k admissions (1 day of previews) 4) Poor Creatures: R$1.4M/ 70k admissions 5) Nosso Lar 2: R$800k/ 40k admissions 6)Zone of Interest: R$400k/ 20k admissions (1 day of previews) Surprisingly, the previews for Madame Web were the exact same of those from Morbius. Anyone But You have passed 1 million admissions and the mid-week, as expected, was more profitable than the weekend.

The first two days of previews for One Love sold R$2.6M and 120k tickets.

I am not gonna count the pre-sales for Madame Web like I usually do. Too much going on and I don't have the time, I hope you'll understand. But I will tell you it is indeed the worst I've seen from a Marvel movie, worse than The Marvels. The holidays could be deceiving and it could see better walk-ins than usual due to that, but if it reaches the top spot it will be only due to last two weekends being weak and the next one likely being weak too. It just looks bad and funny enough there is far more marketing for One Love than Madame Web.
