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

[Dingdong123]

And I thought that 5M for BH6 was basically smashing in Argentina then I saw that Frozen actually did 11M in this market....

I still don't understand why people keep making comparisons between Frozen and Big Hero 6... Did you really think before its release that Big Hero 6 was going to reach 1.2B WW????

Weekend Top 5: 

 

1- The Hobbit BotFA, 276935 admissions, new, around $1.9m-$2m

2- Big Hero 6, 121378 adm, -27%. Cume: 866642 adm, around $5.2m

3- Ouija, 84575 adm, new, around $0.5m

4- Dumb and Dumber To, 24543 adm, -44%. Cume: 834605 adm, around $4.6

5- Exodus, 20561 adm, -59%. Cume: 422734 adm, around $2.5m

 

The Hobbit 3 opened around 40% better than DoS. 

Baymax keeps doing pretty good and it will beat Ralph for sure.

Not horrible OW for Ouija.

Dumb and Dumber To fell over 40% for the first time but it did already so much more that it was expected for that kind of movie.

Exodus is falling hard after the holidays, it won't reach 0.5m admissions (Noah sold 715k tickets).

Mockingjay is pretty close to 1m admissions (it only needs 14k to reach that number), it will end around 20% over than Catching Fire.

Well even Brave made around $11m in this market too

Well even Brave made around $11m in this market too

Brave did $ 9.2m during the 16 days of their winter holidays, by far the busiest time of the year in this market. And December is the weakest month of the year there...

Wreck it Ralph is the perfect movie to compare to Big Hero 6. Both movies oriented mostly to boys. Tangled and Frozen are more girl oriented movies. And it's easier to give a boy a ball and take him to the park or to the beach than to convince a girl not to go to the movies several times to sing "Let it go"

BH6 should pass Tangled's total for the same week in its run next week

How do you calculated the gross? Just multiply by $5.8?

Is that the same for all the Latin America countries?

TIA

[Hernan Gonzalez]

No. It depends on the movie and the exchange rate. This year the argentinean peso is a little bit stronger than last year. I look for the gross in pesos on www.cinefreaks.com.ar and the admissions on ultracine.com. For example, BotFA's average ticket last weekend was very high ($7.65) and Big Hero 6 was $6.04

Night at the Museum 3 might sell more tickets this weekend than The Hobbit 3 but Bilbo and friends should do more money, even though BotFA is falling around 60%, it will be close to $4m tonight.

NatM3 OW around $0.8m.

Big Hero 6 is dropping around 30%. It passed 1m admissions yesterday. It will beat HTTYD2 this weekend to become the 3rd animated movie for 2014 behind Rio 2 and Frozen. It will stand at $6.3m by the end of the weekend

[Hernan Gonzalez]

2014 was only 5.79% under the record made in 2013 (in admissions) and it was so much better than the other World Cup years affecting the best months for the Box Office. With all the great movies opening in 2015, this could be the first year with more than 50m tickets sold!!!

Year		Admissions		in millions
2014		44.2	m	$256
2013		46.9	m	$315

Decent opening for Night at the Museum 3. It could reach $3m by the end of its run. 

 

BotFA will definitely beat DoS but AuJ looks out of reach right now: 

 

DOS, Final: $5.2m, 736k admissions

AUJ, Final: $7.4m, 1.05m admissions

 

Big Hero 6 will pass WiR on Friday. Let's see if it can resist the arrival of the penguins on the 22nd to get close to Tangled. But $8m look pretty locked now. 

 

WDAS movies:

 

1- Frozen, 1.94m admissions

2- Tangled, 1.62m admissions

3- Wreck it Ralph, 1.17 admissions

4- Big Hero 6, 1.15 admissions

 

Today openings: Fury and Seventh Son.
