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

[Hei25]

Thursday 15th March Estimates:

 

1. Tomb Raider *New 7.753 adm. 

2. Coco 4.627 adm. (-43%) Total = 2.863.140 adm.

3. Black Panther 3.658 adm. (-44%) Total = 784.236 adm.

4. The Shape of Water 2.550 (-59%) Total = 215.900 adm.

5. Winchester 2.081 adm. (-56%) Total = 112.369 adm.

 

Very weak thursday fall all the movies, Tomb Raider fail to make any noise and won't even beat Coco over the Weakend. Right now the weekend looks very quiet, but the rain forecast for saturday and sunday maybe could help to make this a decent one.

Weekend (15th - 18th March) Estimates:

 

#	MOVIE	Week	ADMISSIONS	SCREENS	CHANGE LW	TOTAL
1	Coco	10th	72.345	233	-11%	2.930.821
2	Tomb Raider	New	70.227	291	-	70.227
3	Black Panther	5th	47.868	149	-19%	828.446
4	The Shape of Waterr	4th	26.847	97	-45%	240.197
5	Winchester	3rd	23.834	93	-34%	134.122
6	Phantom Thread	New	22.361	48	-	22.361
7	Father Figures	New	20.535	94	-	20.535
8	Perfectos Desconocidos	2nd	15.090	79	-32%	43.295
9	Luciferina	New	9.544	71	-	9.544
10	The Lodgers	New	7.860	90	-	7.860

 

• Huge hold for Coco thanks to the bad weather to achieve it's second consecutive weekend 1st place on it's 10th weekend. M it's locked and now It's pushing strong to a finish arround 3.2M, Sherlock Gnomes should afect it in Easter holidays.
• Tomb Raider had a disappointing debut, not bad but disappointing. It should finish shy of 200k admissions,
• Black Panther same as Coco, had a superb hold thanks to the weather, and keeps going high in the MCU ranking (I'll post it later)-
• Then all other newcomers boomed, that's why the weekend was quiet even the good (rainy) weather for cinemas.--

Wednesday 21st March Update:

 

On Thuesday 20th, Black Panther (835.279 adm.) outsold Thor: The Dark World (832.000 adm.) to become the 6th highest grossing movie in the MCu, it won't go further because the next on the list is Thor Ragnarok (967.000 adm.) but the result is a huge succes. Now the movie is looking to finish around the 900.000 adm. mark, a level that just a few CMB can reach in Argentina. I will upload a CBM and MCU list ordered by admissions when the movie fall out from the weekly top 10.-

Weekly (15th - 21st March) Estimates:

Today Wide Releases:

-Pacific Rim: Uprising (296 Screens) 

-Peter Rabbit

-La Reina del Miedo

-Stronger

 

Pacific Rim (2013's Winter Holidays release)

OD: 25.700 adm.

OW: 171.656 adm.

Total: 596.000 adm.

 

Based on the first entry of the franchise and the count of screens PR2 is locked to win the weekend and a OW btw 130k-150k seems the target. The other thing to pay attention during the weekend is that Coco will not only ougross Finding Dory to reach the 3rd spot in Pixar's rank also will becomejust the 10th movie ever to reach 3M admissions.

Tomorrow I will post Today numbers, expecting a strong start for PR2 due today's rainy.

 

 

[seduh]

Coco's run in Argentina is simply amazing. Even if it's wining the week because of lack of competition, this weeks is the 10th week of release. Making over 3 million for a January release is simply huge. 

[lor15]

Meh start for PRU with 13.300 adm on OD

[Hei25]

Thursday 22th March Estimates:

 

1. Pacific Rim: Uprising 13.322 adm. OD.
2. La Reina del Miedo 3.596 adm. OD.
3. Peter Rabit 3.403 adm. OD.
4. Coco 2.874 adm. (-42%) Total = 2.951.957 adm.
5. Tomb Raider 2.705 adm. (-66%) Total = 93.000 adm.
6. Black Panther 2.319 adm. (-37%) Total = Total 844.745 adm. 

Decent OD for PR2, but a weekend over 100k admissions doesnt look doable. La Reina del Miedo surprisses everyone due the small screen count, with Friday numbers we will see if it's pushed by a strong WOM or not.

Then all holdover fell way steeper than it shjould be, except for BP wich hold really well and, it almost locked a finish over 900k adm.-

 

[Hei25]

Weekend (22nd - 25th March) Estimates:

 

#	MOVIE	Week	ADMISSIONS	SCREENS	CHANGE LW	TOTAL
1	Pacific Rim: Uprising	New	98.538	325	-	98.538
2	Peter Rabit	New	58.934	245	-	58.934
3	Coco	11th	39.425	174	-46%	2.988.604
4	La Reina del Miedo	New	32.842	56	-	32.842
5	Tomb Raider	2nd	30.998	175	-56%	121.352
6	Black Panther	6th	28.417	115	-41%	870.852
7	Winchester	4th	17.291	67	-27%	158.604
8	The Shape of Water	5th	13.574	50	-49%	260.462
9	Phantom Thread	2nd	13.430	53	-40%	41.637
10	Perfectos Desconocidos	3rd	9.499	34	-37%	57.376

 

• Decent, but disappointing OW for Pacific Rim 2, now depends on legs (pushed by next weekend's Esater) but it will fall around 50% from the first one. 
• Soft but surprising OW for Peter Rabit, I didn't expect nothing over 30k admissions, so it's a good result and with Easter Holidays coming it has a clear shot to reach 200k admissions.-
• Coco has a steep fall than other weekends but still has enought gasoline on the tank to reach to reach 3.1M admissions.-
• La Reina del Miedo opened very strong, more when you see the screen count. I hope it expands on more screens.-
• Tomb Raider fell hard, even with it's high screen count.
• Black Panther once again hold way better than the other movies, and as said before 900k admissions are locked.-

Shorlock Gnomes shouldn't affect Coco, but the loss of screens thanks to the Easter holidays will prevent it from an increase, but I expect to stay flat or fall just a bit.-

Weekly 22-28 March

 

COCO finally break the 3 million admissions, BP with 880K great too, with Easter weekend to come.

Yeah, also in many TV shows are talking about how good the movie is. So let's hope ir make some noise.

This weekend is not only pushed by Easter Holidays, also monday is Veterans Day so it will be a 5 days off Work weekend.

[Hei25]

Thursday 29th March Estimates:

 

1. Ready Player One 28.393 adm. OD

2. Pacific Rim Uprising 11.758 adm.(-15%) Total = 141.909 adm.

3. A Wrinkle un Time 11.671 adm. OD

4. Peter Rabit 9.486 adm. (+174%) Total = 83.470 adm.

5. La Reina del Miedo 6.416 adm. (+74%) Total = 48.448 adm.

6. Coco 6.255 adm. (+114%) Total = 3.006.362 adm.

7. Sherlock Gnomes 4.710 adm. OD

 

Nice OD for RPO, not huge or amazing.

SG flopped.

Today should be stronger because more ppl will be off work.

Very disappointing Easter Weekend, last year Thursday had a total of 383.000 adm., while the top 10 this year in the entire weekend reach 438.000 adm. only. That's thanks the poor impact of the newcomers on the weekend.

 

• RPO started better than expected but it failed to be something to remember, it will only crash the 300k total mark.
• A Wrinkle in Time and Sherlock Gnomes both are a huge fail, 
• The holdover as expected holded well, but any of them managed to increase.

Today April 2nd is holiday to, maybe today will be stronger than anyday of the weekend. I will post today numbers tomorrow if them deserve to be posted.

 

March will be way downward from previos years, similar as February which was the worst in the last 5 years (January is the Best Ever). Let's hope april to recover with Rampage, Perdida (Local Movie) and Avengers IW (Released in a holiday weekend)

Coco is still a mighty champ in Uruguay.

[Hei25]

As mentioned before March was really bad selling a mere 2.427.058 admissions, the worst since 2012. It sold 40% less than 2017 and 10% less than 2015 (Best Year Ever), right now the year is pacing 16% behind last year despite having the best January ever thanks Coco.

To see how bad the realeses worked, the two most attended film were released in January (Coco) and February (Black Panther).-

 

April looks also to fall behind those years, FF7 and FF8 were released on each Easter weekend of those years and this year. The year will start to look in better shape with May and June releases.

 

April most important releases:

 

-5th April: Mazinger Z

-12th April: Rampage / Truth or Dare

-19th April: Perdida (Local Film)

-26th April: Avengers Infinity War Pt. I
