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

[Hernan Gonzalez]

Apparently biggest OD of all time in Argentina along with Latvia, Lithuania and Uruguay

 

 

Which i just saw deadline article mention

Actually the biggest OD in Argentina was Monsters Inc. with 180k admissions

It was prob currency based

It was prob currency based

They have a 30%+ inflation rate so in local currency it probably is the highest.

Top 5 Weekend: 

 

1- Fifty Shades of Grey, 420935 admissions, $3.5m

2- Taken 3, 82560 adm, -37%. Cume: 565783 adm, $3.6m

3- SpongeBob 2, 61618 adm, -48%. Cume: 247216 adm, $1.6m

4- Tinkerbell and the Legend of the Neverbeast, 50563 adm, around $0.3m

5- Penguins of Madagascar, 38255 adm, -46%. Cume: 682235 adm, $4.4m

 

As expected 50SoG was HUGE!!! $3.5m is not something we see very often in this market. Only Wild Tales opened with 400k+ admissions last year. And thanks to the cancelation of any discount or promotion during its first week Fifty Shades` average ticket was higher than usual ($8.2). 

 

Saint Valentine's day was the biggest of the year so far with 255460 admissions. 

 

Another important thing that happened this weekend concern to Relatos Salvajes (Wild Tales). It fell only 4% compared to last weekend and it reached $20m, 3.82m admissions!!!

50SoG: 76000 admissions on Monday. Cume: 500k admissions, $4.1m

Henry, what is the expectation for TA2? Can it beat WT?

Well, it is the most awaited movie of the year by a far margin. It could pass WT in gross but not in admissions. It should also beat 50SoG OW. I am thinking about 3m admissions and $21m look possible

Such a wonderful vision :wub:

2- Taken 3, 137706 adm, -25%. Cume: 620929 adm, $3.9m

Today New Releases: Kingsman, Annie and Selma. 

 

According to the readers of cinesargentinos.com.ar the worst movies this year so far are: Ouija (3.9/10), 50 Shades of Grey (5.4/10), Jupiter Ascending (5.7/10), Seventh Son (5.7/10) and Into the Woods (6/10)

Damn 50SoG is hugeee. And Taken seems popular in Argentina. Those are some good numbers

You are right and Grey should easily win again this weekend, even though it is expected to fall hard, because it has no direct competition and the new releases don't seem to be very powerful.

 

This year is on fire!!! February will be so much better than the previous years!! 

 

Carnival Long weekend 2015: 1418000 admissions

Carnival Long weekend 2014:     995000 admissions

Carnival Long Weekend 2013:     883000 admissions 

[Hernan Gonzalez]

As expected Annie and Kingsman didn't impress yesterday. Grey will easily win its second weekend even though it fell 65% compared to the OD

[Rthmessiah]

Yeah thru Fri FSOG in lc -60%, admits - 49% from LW , KTSS was #2 for Friday but wkend 2date its equal 3rd with tak3 in lc but #2 in admits

[Hernan Gonzalez]

Weekend Top 5:

 

1- Fifty Shades of Grey, 208200 admissions, -51%. Cume: 833466 adm, around $6.4m

2- Kingsman, 50260 admissions, new, around $0.3m.

3- Taken, 46843 admissions, -44%. Cume: 667877 adm, $4.2m

4- Annie, 39878 admissions, new, around $0.25m

5- SpongeBob 2, 39619 adm, -36%. Cume: 342114 adm, $2.2m

 

Good hold for 50SoG considering the huge OW it had. It is already number 1 movie for 2015 and it should pass 1m admissions next weekend. As expected the new entries didn't impress. 

 

 

	2015 – Top Movies	Admissions	Gross		Average Ticket

Week Top 5:

 

1- Fifty Shades of Grey, 296980 admissions, -52%. Cume: 922246 adm, around $6.9m

2- Kingsman, 69741 admissions, new, around $0.4m.

3- Taken, 65079 admissions, -52%. Cume: 686113 adm, $4.3m

4- SpongeBob 2, 63655 adm, -45%. Cume: 366150 adm, $2.4m

5- Annie, 62013 admissions, new, around $0.35m

 

Fifty Shades should easily win again next weekend because there are no interesting new opening. Birdman is getting more screens so it will be back into the Top Ten but it only did around $0.4m so far so I don't think it will have a big jump. 

 

Wild Tales (Relatos Salvages) didn't win the Oscar so it will probably leave the Top Ten next weekend. It is now at the 3rd place at the All Time Admissions Chart and at the 4th place at the All-Time Gross Chart.

Big Hero 6 enters the 1.5m admissions club yesterday. It is now at place 63 at the All-Time Admissions Chart. It did $9.1m as of yesterday. 

[Hernan Gonzalez]

Fifty Shades Of Grey is falling less than 50% this weekend. It is doing more than the sum of the other 4 films in the Top 5. Birdman flew to the second place. As expected there are no new releases into the Top Ten.

Week Top 5:

 

1- Fifty Shades of Grey, 164078 admissions, -44%. Cume: 1086992 adm, around $7.9m

2- Birdman, 55597 admissions, +135%. Cume: 116485 adm, $0.8m

3- Taken, 52247 admissions, -19%. Cume: 738432 adm, $4.6m

5- Annie, 41255 admissions, -33%. Cume: 103313 adm, $0.7m

 

Good hold for 50 Shades. It is the first movie to pass 1m admissions this year, 1.3m admissions ($9m) is where its heading. 

 

Birdman got the Oscar bump and jumped to the second place. Taken continuous its very good run falling a mere 19%. 

 

Kingsman and Annie saw nice decreases on their sophomore session. The first one has very good reviews and the singing orphan the worst   this year so far...
