INSANE run for Maleficent in Venezuela. LatAm is truly the new hot spot for Hollywood.And seriously, $50m budget for a local production? I'm glad to see that but surely it's not cost effective. How does that ever turn a profit save serious governmental incentives?

 

Because since the film is an international colaboration between Venezuela and Spain, its gonna be released later on in Spain and many other Latin American markets, including in the United States in August in the form of a limited release.

 

By releaseing the film in various countries its gonna be profitable.

Actually yes, ticket prices are really expensive, its like $20+ in most of the multiplexes I go if you convert the local currency to dollars (in 2D of course).

 

That is why many people go to Popular Monday because all monday the price for all movie theatres is 50% off. And there is also Thursday 2x1, get two tickets for the price of one. And a student special offer from Thursday to Friday where if you show your University ID the price of the movie ticket is 25% off.

 

At least we have options  ;)

How To Train Your Dragon 2 held really well on its third weekend staying above 1 million dropping just 10.2% for a total of $6,674,000. The better hold might be explained for the nature of summer vacations in the month of August where all children, teenagers and young adults in universities are out giving the boost that Dragon 2 soarly needed to stay strong at the BO. If Guardians Of the Galaxy does not hurt it much then it should not be a problem to reach more than $10 million when all is said and done.

 

Libertador rose on its second weekend by 5.7%. The increase can be mainly atributed to the extremly positive WOM and the strong appeal of venezuelan actor Edgar Ramirez, not to mention the high production values never before seen in a local film. Like all local films with extremly good WOM like this movie, Libertador has the potential to stay in the Top 5 for a month or two like Papita, Maní, Tostón did just seven months ago.

 

And wow, Maleficent really is unbreakable at the BO its like the movie has a life of its own and refuses to leave. Another almost $700k weekend for a total of $22,775,962 on its TENTH Weekend. Un-freaking-believable. As of now the only movie that can do serious damage to Maleficent right now is Guardians Of The Galaxy next weekend but at this point it looks like Maleficent has become some sort of a Japanese-Frozen run like phenomenon that cannot be stopped by any movie at all. $25 million should be a piece of cake with a chance of a $30 million final gross.

 

Blended is still having a ridiculously good run at the BO due to the lack of screens and the high demand for this movie, Adam Sandler is clearly still a powerful draw to venezuelan audiences in terms of comedy movies, if the movie keeps having flat weekends like this it should get $8-9 million total.

 

As expected, the summer vacations is helping Planes:Fire and Rescue to save some face after the pitiful opening weekend it had compared to the first one. The real question is if it can hold the punch from Guardians Of The Galaxy considering that the Marvel movie its just as appealing (if not more) to the little kids. Maybe it can match the total of the first movie, but not much more than that.

 

Deliver Us From Evil had a really good opening weekend for a horror movie, $392k. This movie is also starred by Edgar Ramirez along with Eric Bana so releasing the movie right in the middle of the hype of the new Libertador movie also starred by Ramirez was a stroke of genius from Sony. Now the question remains if the WOM of Ramirez draw power alone will help the movie to get a little push to prevent the usual frontloadness from horror movies.

 

And finally X Men Days Of Future Past was another movie that held really well this weekend with $362k for a total of $11,419,004. It will probably finish its run with a $12,5 million total gross.

Guardians Of The Galaxy opened really well this weekend at the Venezuelan Box Office. The opening weekend is higher than Thor: The Dark World ($1,397,306), Captain America: The Winter Soldier ($1,309,107) ,The Amazing Spider Man 2 ($1,524,322) and How To Train Your Dragon 2 ($1,645,988) (Not counting the sunday preview) but its a little bit below Rio 2 ($1,711,134) and X Men: Days of Future Past ($1,790,877). This is an amazing result considering that Guardians is not an established franchise like all the movies already mentioned. Given the nature of the month of August, Guardians should follow the path of X Men and pass the $10 million mark.

 

Libertador had another excellent weekend and held really well against Guardians considering that most of its competitors where seriously hurted by the arrival of the new Marvel movie. The movie is really hot right now and it should cross the mark of Papita, Mani, Tostón as the highest grossing local movie of all time.

 

How To Train Your Dragon 2 had a decent drop against Guardians. Its following a very similar path to X Men so a 12-13 million final gross should be no problem.

 

And alas, Maleficent was finally knocked out of its hot luck by dropping over 40%, its hardest drop yet. Guardians probably took most of its screens and the appeal to kids and families took away a lot of its audience. So far it has earned $23,8 million, I believe it still has enough gas in the tank to reach $30 million with Summer Vacations if other movies dont hurt it much.

 

Blended continues to have ridiculously good holds and just reached $5 million. Seriously, the local distributor of WB was really stupid by putting Blended in such a few number of screens.

 

Speaking of ridiculously good holds, Deliver Us From Evil had really good one this weekend, something that only The Conjuring achieved last year because horror movies are ususally front loaded. Of couse the star power of Edgar Ramirez is the main draw of this movie so it is very likely that Deliver Us From Evil surpasses The Conjuring´s $3,618,768 if these kind of holds continues.

 

And wow, what a dissapointing performance from Planes 2, dropping over 50%. That is a really harsh drop for an animated movie in a market where animated movies are THE hot ticket. Clearly Planes 2 will not get near the $4,758,012 that the first one made.

 

And finally X Men Days Of Future Past nearly reached the $12 million mark. The 50% drop was obviously a hit from Guardians but is finishing its run with grace. The final gross should be $12,5 million.

Movies opening this weekend (August 15-17):

 

THE FAULT IN OUR STARS:

 

 Posted Image

 

Damn! I have been trying to get tickets for this movie to watch it tomorrow but almost all of the goddamn tickets are sold out for tomorrow. I think that is a sign that the movie will score big numbers this weekend. Not that is going to knock Guardians from its number one spot but it will be serious competition for its main audience: Teenagers and Young Adults. The book is really popular from what I am seeing on twitter but wether the movie will be frontloaded for its established fan base like in the US or actually attract other people who never knew the book even existed but still interested in the movie will be seen on its legs, witch I think is going to be pretty decent.

 

ER CONDE SUELTO EN HOLLYWOOD:

 

 Posted Image

 

This local movie is actually a parody of movies like Beverly Hills Cop where the venezuelan comedian Benjamin Rausseo, also known as Er Conde Del Guacharo plays a venezuelan police that all of the sudden gest transferred to the US to investigate a robbery of a "Valuable Prize" using tecnics that he learned in his town mixed with really crazy situations. This comedian already made two movies like this, the first one was a parody of Indiana Jones ($3,579,383) and the second was a parody of James Bond ($2,281,387). The first one was really bad but apparently from what I saw on the web the second one was actually pretty good (I did not saw the sequel). So I have to assume that Benjamin Rausseo learned from his mistakes in his two previous movies and made a better one this time. Good will from local movies like Papita, Mani, Toston and Libertador plus the marketing with a good looking trailer might help the movie to get some decent numbers. Reception in Opening Weekend will tell if Er Conde Suelto En Hollywood will actuallt get good legs.

Well, Guardians of The Galaxy held remarkably well this weekend, is going ahead of Thor 2, Cap 2, Amazing Spider Man 2, X Men: Days Of Future Past and Dragon 2 at the same time frame. This hold can be mainly atributted to Guardians being the top choice for families this summer and a extremly good Word Of Mouth effect. Plus the lack of similar content (AKA superhero genre) also helps. With Transformers 4 coming this friday Guardians may get hit by it but the Marvel brand is a very strong one in this market so it still has a chance of reaching X Men legs. probably a $12 million final gross.

 

And wow, getting tickets for Fault In Our Stars was really hard for me past Friday but I was sure that this was just another very frontloaded YA adaptation movie and that the BO will deflate on Saturday. Boy, I was so wrong. In fact, Fault In Our Stars kept selling out on Saturday, Sunday, even freaking Monday!!! this leads me to believe that Fault In Our Stars will be a very leggy movie throughout the summer season because of people still not getting tickets and the curiousity for what all the fuzz is about. If this movie follows the same trajectory as The Hunger Games Catching Fire, then Fault should finish its run with $7,5 million.

 

Libertador had its steepest drop yet this weekend but still a decent hold, the really strong competition from Guardians and Fault probably had something to do with it. With the coming of Transformers 4 this weekend Libertador will probably drop a little harder if this weekend is any indication so beating Papita, Mani, Tostón will be a little harder now than before, but it is still possible.

 

Dragon 2 meanwhile had the harderst drop of its run so far, witch is weird because there was no new releases similar to this movie. Probably Guardians, the Sunday preview of Transformers 4 and Er Conde to some extent hurt it this weekend. Its a little bit behind X Men but not so far, so Dragon 2 can still reach $12 million total if Transformers 4 dont hurt it much next weekend but it will be hard.

 

Another ridiculously good hold for Blended, nothing new in this department.$8-9 million total is likely.

 

Er Conde Suelto en Hollywood had a decent opening weekend despite being in fifth place. Although we have to take into account that the previous Er Conde movie opened to $126,955 so this is a massive improvement over the second one. This kind of movies usually increase on the second weekend because there is no upfront demand so is a sure thing that Er Conde will increase on its second weekend as a counterprograming for big blockbuster movies (Including Libertador) the total will probably be somewhere between $2.5 million and $3 million final gross.

 

Deliver Us From Evil continues with is Conjuring like holds this weekend so the $3,6 million final gross I predicted last week is still possible.

 

Shit, nothing can stop Maleficent. The number of screen increased this weekend so the movie held well again against a very crowded competition despite beign 3 months old. reaching a $30 million total gross is getting a little bit harder but it will probably finish a close number to that.

That's great for GOTG, I'm really glad to see it's so successful :)

TFioS will follow the same trend than in Brazil apparently :)

Do you really see Maleficent approaching $30m? It doesn't seem like it has THAT much left in the tank.

It all depends how much it holds during the rest of August. But yeah, its more likely a $27 million total at the moment.

What do you see TA:AoU doing in Venezuela? Can it approach 20M, 25M or is that too much?

Too short my friend. When Phase 1 began movies like Iron Man, Thor and Captain America where just a niche movies for a niche market. Iron Man 1 & 2 made $1,8m  and $1,9m respectively, The Incredible Hulk made $1,3m Thor 1 made $2,6 million. Cap 1 just made $1m but it would have made more if not for the Paramount distribution problem back in 2011.

 

The total of Phase 1 alone in Venezuela is $8,6 million. They where decent numbers but nothing to write home about.

 

And then in 2012 The Avengers came and destroyed the box office and superheroes (especially Marvel) became mainstream grossing $13,2 million, that is more than the entire Phase 1 combined.

 

In 2013 the currency was devaluated again but that did not stop Iron Man 3 to become a juggernaut making $12,6 million, then Thor 2 made $9,3m, then Cap 2 made $10,1m and now Guardians witch is a franchise that is not very well known up until now is going to blow past the $10 million mark as well.

 

If Phase 2 follows the same path as Phase 1 did here then you bet your money that Avengers: Age of Ultron will make over $30 million. Maleficent might not make it there but if there is any movie that can make it there, its Avengers 2.
