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

[Hernan Gonzalez]

Incredible!!! Henry, shall I revise my OS projections for Argentina for higher than 34 million do you think?

Yes! I think $35m+ is happening. This week a lot of kids are still on holidays

[Purple Minion]

Fantastic achievement by Minions! Keeping in mind that the Argentina peso (along with the Venezuela bolivar) are over-valued. I'd still use audience as main comparison point across Latin American countries.

Pretty fair!

Using admissions Minions is also breaking records. It should pass Ice Age 4 next weekend to become number 2 movie ever behind Titanic. And it has a real chance of beating mighty Titanic before the end of its run

I think $36m is going to happen but take in account that holidays end this Sunday so all movies are going to fall hard on Monday, specially Minions

Henry do you have a link for this? I contacted THE-NUMBERS.COM asking them to correct their Argentina number because on the site it's just 30 million so they asked me for a link so they can correct it.

Thanks!

Admissions and gross in local pesos as of Sunday. There is no English version, sorry! I used OD exchange rate and Minions has a $7.5 average ticket price. Pretty high for an animated movie

Thanks a lot, just sent it now to the-numbers.com

[Hernan Gonzalez]

Thanks a lot, just sent it now to the-numbers.com

I just checked on the-numbers and they say Minions is doing $30.2m as of Sunday. I posted on Monday the weekend numbers and Minions was doing $30.4m as of Sunday. It is more or less the same number. The small difference must be a slight difference in the exchange rate we used.

The last number I posted yesterday ($32.4m) includes Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Weeks in Argentina go from Thu to Wed. I took the admissions from www.ultracine.com and the average ticket price to calculate the new cumulative

MI5 released on 30th any estimates?? 

[Hernan Gonzalez]

MI5 released on 30th any estimates??

First estimates for MI5: OW around 150k admissions, $1.2m-$1.3m

MI sold around 800k admissions back in 1996. MI2 1.27m admissions (was the most successful of the saga here). MI3 sold 541497 tickets. And finally MI4 took 504269 persons to the theaters.

I don't think Rogue Nation will reach 500k admissions with this OW but it should be close to that. The exchange rate is so much better right now so it will easily beat MI4 ($2.8m) and MI3 ($1.6m) but not MI2 ($7.1m). It should end up doing something like IM ($3.9m)

[picores]

Solid for Rogue. Maybe a 50% increase over MI4 in $.

Can MI5 hit 6m with that OW?

Let's wait for Saturday numbers to see how big the OW will be
