Also, Spiral showed up in the ranking selling R$1M but I didn't count since I assumed it was a mistake. It probably was.

This first weekend of october managed to push 2023's yearly numbers above 2022, though we are still a lot behind 2019's R$2.74B.

No clue. Maybe it was the mix of positive WoM with the online campaigns for the movie.

That was a surprisingly great weekend??! For the first time the weekend after Cinema Week didn't see big falls, but rather we saw Sound of Freedom rising once again, Nosso Sonho also rising and having the best weekend since release, Paw Patrol and Equalizer 3 having the best openings of their franchises, Saw X becoming the best selling Saw movie, The Nun 2 closing on IT's R$61M. Seriously it was so good for the top 6, what happened here lol Next weekend releases The Exorcist - Believer, Meu Nome é Gal, Uma Fada Veio me Visitar (Xuxa!) and Blackberry.

Some interesting movement of Eras Tour in my city. First, all of the chains are releasing now, it's not a limited release anymore. But one thing I noticed is that the local Cinemark is taking away screens for it on saturday and specially on sunday. I don't know the motivations but is the first time I've seen that happen here on a movie doing pre-sales.

Once again, controversy has come regarding the distribution model of a brazilian movie. Nosso Sonho released on 500 screens, and despite the not impressive opening, it was hit by strong WoM. However, theaters cut to only 150 screens during Cinema Week while old movies like Blue Beetle and Meg 2 increased. The second weekend had sold out screens and excelent boost on admissions, but because the rollout was cut so hard it put a stop on the chances of going higher. Screen quota can't come any sooner tbh

The 3rd Cinema Week ended with more than 3M admissions, down from the first two that had 3.2M and 3.8M respectively. Will update with the final numbers and the ranking once they fully reveal.

On monday, Sound of Freedom passed 1 million admissions and Nosso Sonho made R$250k, becoming the 3rd best selling brazilian movie of the year.

A $40M opening would actually be much better than what most were predicting over here and on Reddit before the pre sales.

These first 4 days are better than the first Cinema week (1.8M tickets, R$20.57M box office) and worse than the second (2.4M tickets, R$26.9M box office). 6 movies managed to do more than 100k admissions this weekend. From all of the movies, the clear winner was Sound of Freedom that doubled the amount of admissions of last weekend and will cross the million admissions ASAP. Saw X also had a wonderful opening, beating all of the other openings on the franchise. Will soon also beat Jigsaw's R$8.6M to become the highest grossing on the franchise. The Nun 2 is about to pass the total of It Chapter 2 also. Next weekend is the full release of Paw Patrol and also the release of The Equalizer 3, Wildflower and Rodeo Rock.

Rio de Janeiro will become, if approved by the governor, the first state of the country to bring back the screen quota. This brings 3 demands to theaters: Theaters must show a minimum amount of brazilian movies a year, a minimum amount of days with at least one brazilian movie among the screenings and a limit on how many screens can show a single movie. For example: If a theater have 1 screen, at year they must have screened at least 3 brazilian movies during 27 days, with these numbers increasing alongside the amount of screens (Like, if a theater have 2 screens they must show 4 movies on 28 days, if they have 3 screens then it's 5 movies on 29 days and so on). The most important change though, theaters with more than 3 screens can't dedicate all of the screens to a single movie and have a max amount they can give to only one movie depending on how many screens it have, usually going around 50-30%. Taylor Swift might be one of the last cases of a whole multiplex being given to a single movie.

As a whole the first thursday of Cinema Week sold 195k tickets and R$2.3M. On the admissions, this is down the first two Cinema Weeks (that sold 212k and 280k), on the box office was about the same of the first one, down from the second (R$3.1M).

On the first day of Cinema Week, Sound of Freedom sold 62k tickets, growing 52% over the opening thursday. It have passed 500k admissions.

This could however be the first Saw movie in a really long time to not have absolutely terrible legs

You expected better or worse?

TAYLOR SWIFT, NATAL T-38 T-38 Cinemark: 8 showings, 2384 seats, 219 sold (9.19%) T-38 Cinepolis: 8 showings, 1546 seats, 22 sold (1.42%) T-38 Total: 16 showings, 3930 seats, 263 sold (6.69%) Barbie (First day of pre-sales): 103.95% Barbie (First day, but only those two chains): 113.85% First of all, despite being announced as only being released by Cinemark and UCI, other chains like Cinépolis and Kinoplex have started selling tickets too. Now my thoughts: A very strong first day, beating Barbie despite being low on two theaters, and since this event is a lot more expensive, we are about to have a seriously profitable weekend. On the other hand, being down two theaters does not look like an issue on the Cinemark side, they gave a LOT screens to it, it will be a Taylor-only weekend. No exaggeration, they gave it so many on saturday and sunday that I don't think there is space to any other movie. I kinda wonder if despite the success if it isn't too over the top? There is the point of discussion of the frontloadness so to get this out of the way, yes I think it will be hella frontloaded, first because the amount of screens on the second weekend will decrease massively to only 5, and then while still very early I noticed a big gap where it is selling amazing on friday, decent on saturday and then barely nothing on sunday. We will indeed enjoy a huge opening weekend, one of the bests of the year, so I warn everyone to hold on to that.

Retratos Fantasmas passed R$1M, for a documentary and a movie that haven't charted on the weekend's top 10 that is very decent. Other local documentary, Elis & Tom, also seens that will be doing good business on the holding department next weekend.

I hope fans enjoy it, but me personally that killed my chances to go see it. With my regular discount (that is not valid for Eras Tour) I could go see 6 movies at that price. Fans will absolutely fill the screens but for regular audiences that is an insane price to ask. But they know their target audience. The most expensive I've seen them charging for concert movies here like the BTS and Coldplay events ranged from R$30-60

November 3rd release on Brazil. Tickets will cost R$90 regular and can go up to R$150 on premium. That is some MASSIVE cost if you want to check Taylor lol.

Like I predicted, Sound of Freedom had a good opening though not a breakout as some would expect. But a good one still. The movie, like in US, have been hit with a lot of controversies due to the free tickets being given out, also due to partnerships between the distributor and big right-wings portals that are very supportive of Bolsonaro and were also a big responsible on the given of free tickets. It have all been counted to the box office. Not gonna toss opinions, at least I can be happy for a no.1 launch for a small drama. Expend4bles had the second worst opening of the franchise (the second made R$8.4M, the third made R$7.8M, the first one made R$2.3M). Nosso Sonho entered the long list of local movies to disapoint in 2023, but Elis & Tom had a really solid debut for a documentary. Blue Beetle have passed 2M admissions and with monday should have passed the total admissions of Birds of Prey. Next weekend is Cinema Week, and will see the releases of The Creator, Saw X, Strays, The Marsh King's Daughter, the full release of Pérola, the re-release of Nosso Lar (Our Home) and Fairytale. Also some pre-screenings of Paw Patrol.

Taylor Swift's The Eras Tour will release in Brazil on november 3rd. It will be exclusive to UCI and Cinemark, tickets will cost a salty R$90.

If KotFM turns out profitable after the massive overperformance of Oppenheimer, we would only need Napoleon to overperform too and we could start seeying some serious change in Hollywood business the next couple of years.

R$5.72M and 245k admissions, no. 1 opener. Will post it the top 10 once the full list comes.

Told ya. The 3rd Cinema Week have been announced to be happening between september 28th and october 4th. This time tickets for all movies will cost R$12 with food combos also going down in price. Last Cinema Week had 3.7M tickets sold.

First thursday of Sound of Freedom sold 40k admissions and R$760-800k on the box office.
