Avatar 2 finally dethroned.

 

That's a really good opening for Puss in Boots 2- If it followed Coco (68k OD - 409 OW) it would have a higher OW tan Avatar 2 , but animated comps are all over the place. Ralph 2 was significantly more frontloaded over its opening weekend. 

 

Avatar 2 should increase this weekend considering that for the first time on its run sunday won't be deflated.

Looking likely, at very at least 2,5M+. The only problem it could have is Puss in Boots 2 becoming a phenomenon similar to Coco, which did 3,2M admission from a similar opening day and strong WOM, but that's only a small posibility for now.

I mean, PIB2 has stayed flat in almost every Latin American country it has opened. The WOM is there, adding a strong OW on top of that and there's potential for blockbuster. 3M is very long reach, but signs point to a strong performance either way.

 

Besides, animation is by far the most popular genre in the Southern Cone (Chile-Argentina-Uruguay) These are the countries where Toy Story is bigger than Endgame and the original Avatar is below Ice Age in the charts.

I always wondered why animation was so popular in LATAM. Is there a specific reason for this?

With no competition and Dia de Reyes today, it should have a stable weekend.

 

The dubbing of the dog, plus Goldilocks and the Bears with Argentinean accent is class! Banderas also doing an Andalusian PIB is *chef's kiss*.

There are many. Family films usually cover all quadrants of the market, since parents can bring kids and grandparents and have a good time. We have also grown watching animated TV series and films since we were kids, usually with amazing dubbing and adaptation to Latin American slang and idiosyncrasy, sometimes adding a bit of adult flair that it's still safe for the children. This creates an effect in the viewer that the film is tailor-made for them, not just a literal translation.

Quote

Latin America brought in just shy of $1.8B in 2022 gross (-30% vs pre-pandemic average), a whopping 87% increase on 2021.

Those reasons don't feel LATAM specific though, but this region consistently goes super hard on animation.

Is hard to tell but honestly @Purple Minion explains it pretty well. We have the same experiences as other western countries but  somehow similar to Japan there's more respect for animation as a medium rather than a genre. That's why anime has a big following in here as well.

Yeah, for example, Chile which is the poster child of this phenomenon, it's totally normal to take you girlfriend/boyfriend to see an animated movie, same for adults without children. 

 

While it's true that animation to a certain extent is seen as something for "kids", that factor doesn't really stop people like it appears to do in the USA or Europe. 

 

Pixar is seen as an institution on its own right while films like Minions attract people who want a lighthearted film and quick laughs, not just children.

Spot on. I would bring my mother in law in Ireland to see Elvis, but never Puss in Boots. In Mexico, it'd be the opposite.
