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

Recommended Posts

Great result for wild tales, but looking at that chart, I'm surprised by how dominant Hollywood films seem to be in Argentina.

 

Do you have a yearly proportion of foreign to local films in either gross or admissions?

Hollywood rules this market. But local movies are doing better in recent years.

Good to know. Titanic being the most attended movies after all these years is pretty noteworthy. Evidently, the film market hasn't grown all that much since then.

Titanic was a huge success there. At that time there were no multiplexes, only big theaters and they were all full for many months while they were showing Titanic

Top 5 Weekend:

 

1- Wild Tales (Relatos Salvajes), 127131 admissions, -29%. Cume: 3004762 adm, around $15.8m

2- Dracula, 100541 adm, new, around $0.6m

3- Alexander, 62852 adm, new, around $0.35m

4- Magic in the Moonlight, 50459 adm, new, around $0.3m

5- The Judge, 45029 adm, new, around $0.25m

 

5 new movies on the Top Ten. But non of them could beat Wild Tales. The local movie became #6 at the All-Time Charts in Admissions (since 1997)

 

Wild Tales is the first argentinean movie ever to do more than $15m and also the first local movie (since 1997) to sell more than 3m tickets!!!

Top 5 Week:

 

1- Wild Tales (Relatos Salvajes), 186693 admissions, -21%. Cume: 3064324 adm, around $16.1m

2- Dracula, 148115 adm, new, around $0.9m

3- Alexander, 98711 adm, new, around $0.55m

4- Magic in the Moonlight, 71928 adm, new, around $0.4m

5- The Judge, 64864 adm, new, around $0.35m

 

Wild Tales won its eighth week. Not a bad opening for Dracula

 

The Equalizer, The Giver and the animated movie Book of Life open today. Let's see if one of those new releases finally ends the reign of Wild Tales. BTW, Wild Tales opens in Spain tomorrow, let's see how it does taking in account that the movie is produced by the spanish company "El Deseo" owned by Pedro Almodovar.

How is 2014 looking so far in comparison to 2013? 

 

Bad. Around 10% less than last year but it is recovering since the World Cup and the Winter Holidays end. But Exchange Rate is so much worst this year 

 

 

    Admissions   Gross
         
2014   37.3 m $216.31
         
2013   41.3 m $276.97
         
Difference   -10%   -22%

Yeah, while I really enjoyed Argentina's great WC run, it seems to have hit their summer box office as a consequence. The exchange rate is just the final nail.

 

A slight decrease isn't so bad though, and if they increase the quality and the movie-goer's interest in their local productions, it could act as a catalyst for future box office growth as well, much as in the way wild tales is doing now.

You are right! If we compare 2014 to 2010 (Year when the last World Cup took place) we see a 14% increase this year ;)

2014 is also doing slightly better than 2011 :)

Top 5 Weekend:

 

1- Wild Tales (Relatos Salvajes), 63785 admissions, -51%. Cume: 3128851 adm, around $16.4m

2- Dracula, 47243 adm, -54%. Cume: 195409 adm, around $1.1m

3- The Equalizer, 41825 adm, new, around $0.2m

4- The Book Of Life, 37686 adm, new, around $0.2m

5- Alezander..., 31869 adm, -50%. Cume: 130621 adm, around $0.75m

 

This was the worst weekend for 2014 with only 357k admissions sold. It looks like Wild Tales is starting to fade, but it is still number 1!! Annabelle opens on Thursday and it should easily win next weekend, ending Wild Tales reign. But the local thriller's run is not over yet. It still could reach 3.3m admissions.

Argentina is clearly bigger than the other markets you listed, even though Chile is doing very well.

Sad we don't have numbers for Colombia given it's pretty close to Argentina in terms of market size.

I would love to find the same charts for Colombia and Venezuela, but sadly I couldn't yet... 

 

 

Good start for Annabelle!

 

Annabelle is doing great!!! With Halloween coming up $5m should be locked!! Even 1m admissions is possible!!
