ITALY (Botteghino): 'Inside Out 2' BREAKS opening-weekend record for Hollywood films

[Hernan Gonzalez]

It seems locked to beat CF.

It should. Let's see how it holds this weekend

[Hernan Gonzalez]

MJ1 fell 72% compared to the OD. Yesterday it did $235k. CF fell 56% on its second weekend.

Penguins of Madagascar opened yesterday with a mediocre $145k.

Let's see how both movies do during the weekend. Though Thursday was not very promising...

Penguins of Madagascar opened yesterday with a mediocre $145k.

Let's see how both movies do during the weekend. Though Thursday was not very promising...

 

Well, in local currency CF made 156k during the 2nd Thur (while Mp1 has made 186k). In $ CF made 215K $ during 2nd Thur so the 235k$ of Mp1 is almost 10% stronger!

 

Penguins will recover during Sat and Sun: 3mln EU (3,75M$) OW isn't impossible (so 4mln EU or 5M$ including last week previews).

 

IS will be at 11.4-6 after this WE, 13M could be a stretch.

Fri Mp1 304K EU (380K$) 

Fri CF 255K EU (350k$)

 

Penguins did 237K EU (296K$). Today they will be likely first.

[Hernan Gonzalez]

Saturday:

1- Penguins of Madagascar, $1.05m

2- Mockingjay: Part 1, $0.9m, -50% compared to last Saturday. Cume: $8.2m, it should end the weekend close to $9m

5- Interstellar, $0.4m. Cume: $11.4m

The penguins should win this weekend because from Thursday till Saturday both movies did around $1.5m and the animated movie should do better than Katniss on Sunday.

[Filmovie]

Saturday:

1- Penguins of Madagascar, $1.05m

 

 

I expect Penguins to make twice as much today, or maybe I hope that.

[Hernan Gonzalez]

Weekend Top 5:

 

1- Penguins of Madagascar, $3.1m ($4.5m including previews)

2- The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1, $2.3m. Cume: $8.9m

3- Scusate si esisto!, $1.7m. Cume: $4.25m

4- Ogni Maledetto Natale, $1m, new.

5- Interstellar, $1m. Cume: $11.7m

[Filmovie]

2 new entries this week: 

 

- DADT: Thur 114 K EU (260 K EU TOT - 325K $)

- Magic in the Moonlight 108K EU; last year BJ debuted with 83K EU.

 

Allen is very strong here; since Match Point:

-Match Point 10,8M $

-Scoop 5,6M $

-Cassandra's dream 6,9M $

-Vicky Cristina Barcelona 8,1M $

-Whatever Works 7,4M $

-You will meet a tall dark stranger 6,4M $

-Midnight in Paris 11,0M $

-To Rome with love 10,6M $

-Blue Jasmine 5M $

 

IS passed 12M $ today; Thur made -44% VS LW

 

Mp1 is at 9,6M $; still running above in local currency but on par in $ (compared with CF)

 

Penguins had -26% (85K EU - 107K $) vs Last Thursday; should make 2M $ WE (above 7M $ in tot)

[Hernan Gonzalez]

Penguins, Dumb and Dumber To and Magic in the Moonlight have chances to win the weekend. I see the 3 movies doing around $1.5-$1.7m. Let's wait for the Sunday numbers but I think the Penguins will raise the trophy again this weekend in the end

[Filmovie]

Penguins will likely win; 

 

Today IS passes 10 M EU and Mp1 passes CF in local currency

 

Remember that here this Monday is Holiday, so we will have big numbers too

[Filmovie]

POM win the WE with 1,9M $ (6,95$ Tot); too soon to say where is headed to go, it depends on how many screens it manages to keep during Christmas.

 

Allen is 2nd with 1,8M $ (good debut, better than BJ); DADT is 3rd in the WE  (1,9M in 5 days).

 

Mp1 is now the highest grossing in the franchise in local currency (it should close 10% higher in LC or on par in $).

 

IS is now at +12,5$; it should eventually go on par with Inception in Local Currency (already more than TDK)

Interstellar is now the 5th movie to pass 10M euros in calendar 2014. This is certainly a good news for Nolans, but no so good for Italian cinema industry.

[Hernan Gonzalez]

Penguins of Madagascar added almost $0.8m on Holiday Monday. Cume: $7.6m

 

Mockingjay $10.4m and Interstellar $12.5m (as of Monday)

[Filmovie]

2 new italian releases this weekend: one is supposed to be the Hobbit's main challenger, given the actors' track record (last entry 22 M EU).

 

I am talking about "Il ricco, il povero e il maggiordomo"; it should make about 2,5M $ during the Weekend. Christmas multipliers are difficult to predict but they can be as high as x10.

 

Penguins lose almost 50% vs LW and they are now at +8M $; let see how many screens they keep during Holidays

 

Allen holds well; IS is near to 13M $ and Mp1 should catch CF's total in $ during the WE (already +7% in LC).

 

This Wed The Hobbit arrives!

Il Ricco, il Povero e il Maggiordomo (The Rich, the Poor and the Butler) did $1.2m on Saturday, $1.8m since its opening day last Thursday. $2.8m OW? What do you think Filmovie?

[Filmovie]

3M$ should be achieved without too many problems; I actually think it can go as high as 3

1M$. Nice start. WOM will be very important but I expect a total of at least 16M$ (it could also pass 20M $ without to many difficulties but it's too soon to tell

[Hernan Gonzalez]

Awesome!!!
