Argentina Box Office - Minions: first movie ever to do $35m+!!!

[pepsa]

You can really start seeing the effect of schools being out for Elemental, had a great Wednesday that almost matched its Sunday gross. It's holding better than (/ jumping more) than any other movie in the top 10. Tomorrow we should see how MI7 impacts it here. It should be over 1.4m by Sunday, then it has 3 more days before the arrival of Barbie. Meaning it should start with 1.5m + admission before Barbies arival. Even with a big drop it should be able to get over 2m. Depending on the hold vs barbie and when it start dropping hard it has an out side shot at matching Mario. (2.8m, but that still very very very far off ofc)

Thursday 13/07:

 

Elemental: 33.599 (+277.2% over last week)

MI7:          23.440

Insid TLK: 18.811

 

Friday 14/07:

 

Elemental: 39.546 (+77% over last week)

MI7:          25.812

Insid TLK:  27.992

 

I am curious to see the Saturday jump, kid movies benifit more from schools being out during the week but hopefully Elemental does beat last weeks sat and sun.

 

No clue how the opening for MI6 was, according to the numbers MI6 made $2m in argentina. MI7 would need a bit less than 400k admission to match that (370k or so). Hopefully it opened over 150k that would give it a good shot at matching the previous one depending on the damage barbie does.

Another week, another great weekend for Elemental! Because of the sronger than usual weekdays Elemental managed to increase 36.2% over last weekend. (Weekend: TFSS) Both Saturday (+19.5%) and Sunday (+4.9%) also saw a small week to week gain.  Sunday is usualy the strongest day of the week and saw the smallest increase. If Elemental's weekdays can match those from last week it should add another 135k ish in the next 3 days for a 1.54m total before the OW of Barbenheimer. If it wasn't for Barbie this movie could have had an insane over 3m run off an 198k 4-day OW. Should still easly get over 2m, lets see how close it gets to Mario.

 

I had hoped for a better Sat and Sun jump for MI7, OW not bad if it didn't have Barbenheimer on its tail, might be hard to beat MI:F

 

Funny to see Mario re-enter the top 10 after being gone, good WOM + kids movies benifiting more from schools being out definitly played a factor.

Holidays in full force for Elemental, last weeks weekdays already saw bumps of 75-180% jumps from the week before and now we are seeing these jumps again (more schools being out). Tuesday is as strong as opening sunday. Elemental seems to be making full use of the the last few Barbenheimer free days. But  even with a big drop its hard to see the next weekend (thursday - sunday) below 180k with crazy strong weekdays. We might go in to the weekend with 1.65m, ending the weekend with 1.8m seems quite certain now.

 

Will blow past 2m, 2.5m seems extremly doable and with a decent hold this weekend 3m might be back on the menu even with an amazing Barbie launch. We could be in for a crazy high admission weekend, I think 1m + for the top 5 should be doable.

Elemental goes thermonuclear!! Going out with an atomic bang before the arival of the pink prometheus known as Barbie

 

 

 

With 125.934 admission on Wednesday it has its biggest day to date yet, bigger than the 2 national holidays after its OW. Having its biggest day in its 35th day in release, all I can say is I am speechless.

this is giving SK  run for its money in terms of legs, is there anything special about yesterday apart from it just being a school holiday?

I am curious how much admission this market can handle at once, Elemental is easly doubling MI7 and Incidious in admission so it should be positioned the best to survive the enslaught. Hopefully the damage by Barbenheimer is limited and the market can sustain the upcomming crazyness.

Thinking Barbie sells 1M tickets in its first 4 days.

Just read this article and says theatres owners have the same prediction.

https://www.cinesargentinos.com.ar/noticia/6860-barbie-logro-la-segunda-mejor-venta-anticipada-de-la-historia-en-argentina/

Barbie achieved the second best presales in history in Argentina
Barbie had a lot of normal previous promotion to the big tanks but also a lot of noise in the press because of what the famous Mattel doll represents in history but also the doubt with the present with so many cancellations.
How will the movie fare then?
Several cinemas reported advance sales that position it as the second best in the history of Argentina, being the best Spiderman that in December 2021 brought theaters back to life with a slap.
Cinemas in Gran Buenos Aires managed to start the day with thousands of sales just for today. A Recoleta movie theater has half of its theaters with the movie programmed, and they had to move what they had previously planned due to the great demand achieved.
Some optimists say that it will reach a million viewers in just 4 days, something that one of the Fast and Furious achieved at the time on a rainy Easter.
Can Barbie and Ken make it?

The record for most admissions sold in a 4 day weekend was during Toy Story 4 OW. All movies sold an accumulate of 1.862.706 tickets, and the best single day was Toy Story 4 first Saturday with 547.035 tickets

That weekend had the benefit of having shorter movies among the Top 10 though, while this weekend has Oppenheimer, MI7 and Indy 5 all over 2h 30m, which cuts the amount of showtimes.

Actually yes, this week is the one where ALL provinces have school holidays. Notably Buenos Aires, that has the majority of the moviegoing share in Argentina, started just this week and will continue until 28th. 

 

Some provinces like Córdoba will return to classes on Monday so that will weak things a bit. 

 

Also, people have to understand that Winters Holidays is the biggest BO period of the year. Is like Chinese new year in terms of revenue boost.

[pepsa]

We all knew she was comming, and goddamm she did not disappoint! 

I mean a 260.032 admission OD is very very good, this should definitly get Barbie over 1.1m admission by sunday. Should be good for a $5.7m + OW. With a 1.1m + OW it should be able to beat Mario 'unless it drops off a cliff'.

 

Great news for Elemental, even though it defintly got affected by Barbie it still had an amazing day. Thursday is up 63% from last week. It should atleast manage a 250k weekend for a total close to 1.95m by Sunday. The fact that its the clear number 2 movie should make it hold screens and showing well and beating Mario seems very likely now.

 

I would say a good opening day for Oppenheimmer, should try for a 150k weekend might get close to $1m if it gets 150k admission.

 

The top 10 was good for 398.5k admission so the market is looking at a weekend at close to or over 2m admission.

2 Elementos 55.872

3 Oppenheimmer 34.474 

 

HUGE for Barbie. Buenos Aires' holidays helped Elemental to weather the pink storm. 

Oppenheimer is very good also, in Chile and Argentina it was released on a somewhat limited number of screens. 

 

Edit: ups, beated to it

Toy Story 4 delivered the biggest OD ever, blasting every existing record (Avengers: Endgame 310.911 adm.), with a wordless 417.955 adm. The day was pushed by a holiday and a cold and rainy day. Yet, this is mindblowing.

How could Endgame record be broken and that too by 30%. Argentina is lame @Elegiental
