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

[Hei25]

Monday 20th (Holiday) 

 

1. Justice League 97k adm. (-3% from sunday) = Total 397.391

2. MotOE 21k adm (-3% from sunday) = Total 177.095

3. Thor: Ragnarok 22,5k adm. (+7% from sunday) = Total 854.759

 

Thor Ragnarok becomes the most attended film in the Trilogy topping the 832.000 admissions, and still has some legs to top the 900k, in my opinion a powerfull result.

 

Poor result for the Justice League, it has no competition and will keep most of the screens 'till Star Wars VIII release on 14th december (also will have another holiday on 8th december), maybe with this fact could manage to have a decent finish, but it's realy hard to tell.

Seems like the Argentinian are not too fond to comicbook movies. 

In fact 2017 was a really poor year for the genre, there's no comicbook movie in the Top 10 in terms of admissions, and won't be unless Justice League develops amazing legs (something that won't happend). 2016, had 3 movies that topped the most attended of this year. That said, the genre is not so popular than is it in Mexico or Brazil.

 

11th SM:HC 1.121.866

14th Thor 3  859.689 *still on theaters, but 13th movie sold 1.064.477, so there's no chance to get higher 

15th Logan   828.006

19th GotG2   698.080

23rd WW      578.891

29th JL         424.365 *of course will end higher, but with luck it will crack the top 15

 

I won't mention Kingsman 2, because it's hard to tell it's ranking with it's poor 86.000~ adm.

It's nice seeing Logan in 3rd spot though 😊

Thanks for your kind response.

Thanks for your kind response. 

Logan result is amazing, compared to the first two entries in the trilogy and even with the entire X-MEN franchise. Also it has the socond highest multiplier among the comic book movies just behind SM:HC (pushed by the winter holidays).

WEEKLY ESTIMATES:

 

1- Justice League  459.438 adm. *New  

2- Murder on the Orient Express 91.822 2d WK (-5%) Total = 188.454 adm.

3- Thor Ragnarok 85.631 adm. 4th WK (-39%) Total = 866.853 adm.

 

Strong weekly holds thanks to monday's holiday. JL is pacing 15% ahead of THOR 3 first week.

Right now Thor 3 first week multiplier stands on x2.17 it will end higher, but if JL at least can manage to repeat that multi it will end close to the 1M milestone, But Thor's holds were very good (2nd Week -41%, 3rd Week -42%, 4th -39%).

 

Today New wide Releases (all with low screen count):

 

-Bad Cat (Turkish animated movie)

-Suburbicon

-Kidnap

WEEKEND (23-26 NOV)

 

1. Justice League 135.766 adm. (-56%) = Total 595.963

2. MotOE 36.193 adm (-40%) = Total 224.970

3. Thor: Ragnarok 28.203 adm. (-45%) = Total 895.126

 

*Justice League Opening Weekend Actual = 303.684 (passes Thor for the 9th highest OW of the Year, sure to finish 10th after SW VIII) Even with that fact, reach the 800k adm. it's starting to look preaty hard.

 

 

[Hei25]

2017 was a year full of limited releases of Japanese animation movies, 'coz I'm a fan I make a list of how much adm. they sold. Numbers are low but that's all because almost every movie has very few shows (1 or 2 some) and not in all the theaters chains (5-15 cinemas depending on movie).

 

Kokaku kidotai                                   3153
Koe no Katachi                                  8985
Fairy Tail Dragon Cry                         3174
Akira                                                1788
Kimi no na Wa                                   6336
Pokemon The Movie: I Choose You    14077

 

 

Also "The Wind Rises" and "Sword of the Strager" had releases but I couldn't find any number for them.

 

The number of shows that Pokemon received was a huge mistake, 'coz it had a lot space to drop better number. It has just 1 per day, during just two days in at least 25 complexes. And had the best adm. avg in that weekend among all the movies.

WEEKLY ESTIMATES (23-29 NOV):

 

1. Justice Leage 190.137 adm. (-59%) = Total 650.334

2. MotOE 48.535 adm. (-47%) = Total 237.312

3. Thor Ragnarok 40.384 (-53%) = Total 907.307

 

*JL still ahead of TR in term of admissions but just bit ahead (10k adm), something that should tourn around in this weekend, it has two more weeks 'till the arrive of Stars Wars to develop some kind of legs. Thor multi will hit the x3 today, and still has some legs so once again I say: amazing result (first MCU movie to hit 900k adm. without Tony Stark on the screen).

-Happy Death Day

Next friday it's a holiday with almost no competition for JL in it's 4th weekend (TR faced JL in it's 4th weekend, also with a holiday) So le'ts see how this continue for both. Also in 14th Dec Stars Wars hits theaters with for sure the widest release ever, so don't know what to expect if JL can develop late legs as TR. Argentina isn't a big deal for Stars Wars (I see it finishing btw 1.2m-1.3m admissions, btw 8th and 10th place on most attended films of the year rank).-

The week continued with the trend of the weekend, strong holds among the board. 'Coz BO isn't so active I'll have fun comparing the run of JL vs. TR. 

This friday it's a holiday and movies won't lose too much screens, so strong holds may (should) happend. Thor Ragnarok sold 85k in it's 4th week, a number that JL must beat. 900k admissions seems to be locked, and even It has a chance to best TR total.

Despite being a Weekend with a holiday, things are very quiet in the cinemas. And since I don't think SW VIII will be something very special, I wxpect a powerfull OW, but I think it will fall ~20% from Episode VII. I decided to make and post a Top 100 movies based in admissions (Since 1997), coz I'm sure it wont change in few monts. Some movies of this year cracked this top. And I hope next year some others crack it to. 

After SWIII run over, I'll post 2017's ranks (OW, Totals, Multipliers)

Despite of the holiday on friday a very poor weekend. I think that it was because two factors, first of all the excelente weather and the second it's because people are having end of year meetings with friends and work mates (Bars and Restaurants were overbooked on friday and saturday night).

Week is over, strong weekdays so holds are fine. Let's see how SW TLJ affect holdovers.

 

Star Wars Episode VIII - The Last Jedi, will be released in 432 screens, (I was expecting the widest release ever) this will be 19 screen less than TFA, and will be the 3rd widest of the year behind DM3 and JL. Beside it it will have one of the strongest OW of the year, but I expect to be very frontloaded. Remember that in Argentina there aren't holidays 'till 2nd january.

MULTI: x3.8

 

Rogue One:

OD: 31.008 adm.

OW: 153.238 adm.

TOTAL: 570.463 adm.

MULTI: x3.72

 

 

Not bad at all OD (-17% from TFA) for SW VIII (34% Higher thatn JL OD, which had a 303k OW 5 weeks ago). I think it's heading to an OW in arround 330-340k adm., that will mean a -10% from TFA OW (without previews). After that it will dependes on legs, TFA had a x3.8 multi. that multi for TLJ will mean a total btw 1.250.000~1.300.000 adm.

It needs to beat Anabelle 2's 1.195.000 adm. to join the top 10 of most attended film of 2017.

Star Wars : Episode VIII - The Last Jedi Daily Admissions Estimates:

 

Thursday	75.100
Friday	51.500	-31%
Saturday	72.400	+41%
Total	199.000

SW VIII numbers are not so good, since there's no daily track of TFA, I will compare against the last 2 biggest OW of this year.

 

Justice League*          Thor Ragnarok* Thursday 55.100     Thursday 49.100   Friday 54.100 -2%   Friday 56.400 +15% Saturday 88.000 +63%   Saturday 96.000 +70% Sunday 103.700 +18%   Sunday 99.000 +3% Total 300.900     Total 302.500

 

*Based on estimates, not in actuals.

 

SW SWIII, Saturday may be affected by very good weather durind the day and a strong storm during the evening. Today weather isn't as good as yesterday and there's no forecast for storms. So let's hope it has a powerfull day, if not it will fall short from 300k admissions (-20% from TFA).

A 20% drop from TFA is fine though. Nice drop if that happens.

*12th highest OW of the year.

 

Soft OW for TLJ (-24% from TFA OW), worst than OD was suggesting (-17%). Now depends on legs TFA and RO had almost same multiplier (3.8 and 3.7), but I highly doubt it will develop that kind of legs, it needs a multiplierx3.56 to reach 1 Million admissions (Something I really doubt to happend, I imagine a drop btw 30-35% in totals).
