From 09-15 december, the first Matrix will be back on Imax. That same day of release will also begin the pre-sales of Ressurrections.

Is not 100% open yet, but vast majority of cinemas are open (actually, good timing: the last closed Cinemark of the country just reopened today, in Uberlandia). About restrictions is still up in some regions, either 50-80% capacity, some regions on the other hand have lifted already. São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro are working with 100% capacity with no restrictions, and that is very nice since these two are the most profitable regions. Proof of vacination to buy tickets is still mandatory though.

I beg for your forgiveness, my sir

update on the last post: yes, it is official now. Omelete and ingresso.com have confirmed that the first 24 hours of pre-sales from NWH was 5% higher than Endgame on the same timeframe.

Sorry, can't confirm this. But the first day of pre-sales were indeed super strong. Over here the thursday is also mostly sold out and the friday and saturday sessions are at least half-full already.

My dudes, the first day for NWH is almost completely sold out in every cinema in my city already. Fellow brazilian, an advice: If you want to watch this movie don't wait, buy it now if possible. It will be HELL finding available screenings when it releases.

Same is happening to me, but I had a friend on Twitter that got it. We have to keep trying, I guess.

Box office 26-28 november Movie Box Office (R$) Total (R$) 1 Encanto 4.091.000 4.091.000 2 Eternals 3.436.000 62.691.000 3 House of Gucci 2.785.000 2.785.000 4 Ghostbusters Afterlife 1.479.000 5.433.000 5 A Sogra Perfeita 395.000 395.000 6 Venom 262.000 66.453.000 7 Marighella 211.000 5.700.000 8 Clifford, the Big Red Dog 128.000 128.000 9 Addams Family 2 118.000 11.236.000 10 Dune 105.000 16.180.000 As said before, Encanto had the best opening for an animated movie of the pandemic and House of Guci had a good opening with the amount of screenings it had. Eternals fortunatelly did end up on the higher end, yesterday's numbers did fell way too low to be true...also, A Sogra Perfeita had the 2nd best opening of a brazilian movie during the pandemic (Another evidence on how shitty the last two year have been for brazilian movies) and Clifford got in the top 10 with its pre-opening. Next weekend will release Resident Evil, Clifford, King Richards, The Comeback Trail, The Ice Road and Baba Yaga, that got delayed from last weekend. Switching topics, let's talk NWH. Pre-sales started a few hours ago and it is crazy, every site and app are down from too many people at the same time. Last time that happened was with Endgame. It looks like I am missing my prediction from a few weeks ago, pandemic or not if this doesn't become the biggest Spider-Man movie something is wrong with the multiverse.

Lifetime for Eternals: R$61M+. Though the movie was indeed in 3rd on thursday, still feel like a bigger drop than what I was expecting. I hope it comes on the higher end tomorrow.

The pre-release was supposed to start today in some cities ahead of the full-release next week, like sometimes happens with some blockbusters over here. That has been cancelled, alongside the critics screenings, so reviews only when the movie is out nationally. This probably means lack of trust of Sony in the WoM of the movie.

Encanto released on thursday with R$700k+, biggest opening for an animated movie of the pandemic. House of Gucci released at 2nd place and it is set to overperform expectations. The rest of the top 5 is made of Eternals, Ghostbusters Afterlife and A Sogra Perfeita. On another topic, Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City is still set to release on december 2, but they cancelled the pre-release on most cities and the pre-screenings for critics. You know what this means.

Box office 19-21 november Movie Box Office (R$) Total (R$) 1 Eternals 7.073.000 57.167.000 2 Harry Potter and the Sorcerer Stone 6.600.000 28.904.000 3 Ghostbusters: Afterlife 3.110.000 3.110.000 4 Venom: Let There be Carnage 783.000 65.949.000 5 Adams Family 2 728.000 11.003.000 6 Marighella 715.000 5.250.000 7 Last Night in Soho 446.000 446.000 8 Dune 275.000 16.006.000 9 The French Dispatch 250.000 250.000 10 God is Not Dead: We the People 207.000 1.111.000 So here is something fun: On sunday we had special screenings for the 20th anniversary of the original Harry Potter. Those were SO crowded that the profits on sunday alone got the movie to 2nd place for the entire weekend and barely behind Eternals. Also had, by very far, the best screening average of the last 2 years. What is even crazier is that it might have made even more than what the movie did in its actual opening in 2001! Next weekend goes for Encanto, House of Gucci, The Unforgivable, Baba Yaga and A Sogra Perfeita.

Numbers later today. A little spoiler tho...

Eternals is now at R$58M+. Getting closer and closer to Venom 2.

Afterlife released on thursday in 2nd place. It didn't beat Eternals but pushed Venom to 4th. Last Night in Soho released in 5th, The Fench Dispatch in 7th and Chernobyl in 10th.

Ghostbusters Afterlife is the largest release of this weekend, with 1k screenings. For the record, 2016's Ghostbusters launched with R$6.7M and made a total of R$20M.

Box office 12-14 november Movie Box Office (R$) Total (R$) 1 Eternals 12.790.637 47.631.000 2 Venom: Let There be Carnage 1.384.900 64.846.000 3 The Addams Family 2 1.335.448 10.046.000 4 Marighella 1.163.403 4.300.000 5 Dune 619.461 15.600.000 6 God is Not Dead: We the People 450.919 739.000 7 The Protegé 383.917 542.000 8 No Time to Die 155.698 22.644.000 9 Dear Evan Hansen 150.189 203.000 10 Ron's Gone Wrong 84.286 3.800.000 The total includes the money made yesterday, during the holiday. also on the full 4-day chart, Eternals did R$17.5M and the 2nd place went to Addams Family 2 with R$2m+. Eternals so far pulled the best average-per-screening of the year. Marighella's total now represents 57% of all brazilian movies released during the pandemic. It also sold more tickets this weekend compared to last weekend, despite decreasing the BO. Next weekend is time for Last Night in Soho, Ghostbuster Afterlife, Chernobyl Abyss and The French Dispatch.

No rankings today or updates since is holiday. Tomorrow I'll be posting, hopefully they could update the totals with the 4-day weekend.

Total for Eternals is now at R$42M+ ($7.8M). It is already above Shang-Chi and Black Widow, and is already the 3rd biggest box office of the year.

The Protegé is the biggest new release, with 300 screenings. However, The Protegé and Dear Evan Hansen released at 7th and 8th place yesterday. In other words, both bombed hard.

For Eternals? If so yes, pretty good hold.

Monday: Eternals - R$2.24M Venom: LTBC - R$100k Dune - R$75k

Well, Civil War had a pretty big increase over WS by teaming up the heroes. Maybe with the power of nostalgia NWH could get to R$130M or R$140M.

Total and yes there are still restrictions on most cities. This actually would allign with the first two movies (Homecoming did R$100M and FFH did R$117M), on normal times it would absolutely past these two but during the pandemic we have to bet lower. Spider-Man's franchise is really big and the movies do amazing numbers, but it's not the most lucrative superhero ever over here. Just so you know, the first Suicide Squad and Justice League did more than the two Spidey movies.

IMO anything bellow R$100M ($18M-$19M) will be disapointing.
