The press reported about Dragon Ball Super Broly success. The reports are very confusing since they constantly refer to the "first four days" (that would be until Sunday) but at the same time they say that the figure is including Monday (and that would be five days...) I'm going to assume is including Monday because otherwise, the average ticket price for the weekend would be very low.  

 

Anyway: It did 362.776 admissions on its first 5(?) days of release. This is the second best first 5 days of any animated release behind Minions and is already more than the first full week of Incredibles 2.

Just now, scabab said:

It made $1.7 million in 5 days and not 4 days?

No, the gross numbers are for the weekend and that's 4 days. What is unclear if the admissions figure of 362k is 4 or 5 days, but as I said, I'm going with 5 day's because the average ticket price would be too low if it were 4 days.

Some actuals from last weekend (9-13 January)

 

1 Dragon Ball Super: Broly Fox $1,744,101 - 184 - $9,479 $1,744,101 1
3 Ralph Breaks the Internet Disney $165,789 -17.3% n/a - n/a $3,551,287 8
4 Mary Poppins Returns Disney $164,524 - n/a - n/a $164,524 1
5 Bumblebee PPI $119,185 -49.6% 69 -3 $1,727 $1,068,207 3
9 Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse Sony $72,975 -36.3% 56 -16 $1,303 $745,902 4
10 Mortal Engines UPI $30,841 -73.3% 49 -21 $629 $204,701 2
                   

 

Besides the excellent debut of Dragon Ball Super: Broly, Ralph continues to enjoy excellent late legs and has outgrossed the first one in dollars, a remarkable achievement considering the ER has fallen 30% since 2012. 

 

Mary Poppins managed to open even lower than Nutcracker and The House with a clock in its walls, but could reach its total (~500k usd) since summer is leggier. Bumblebee definetively is behaving like a Transformers movie on a microscopic scale wich is terrible. 

 

Spiderverse never really recovered from its catastrofic OW but its legs are good considering how low it opened.

Weekend Placement's 

  1. Dragon Ball Super Broly
  2. Glass 
  3. Aquaman
  4. Wifi Ralph
  5. Mary Poppins Returns

Dragon Ball super held the top spot and reached 581K admissions and 3M USD, double what Battle of the Gods did. It also held the top spot as Glass had to conform with second place. 

 

Aquaman on other hand became the most viewed DCEU movie with 973K admissions, beating Suicide Squad (950k). It will also be the first DC movie to reach 1M admission milestone and among solo movies, is only behind the Deadpool franchise

How to Train Your Dragon Franchise

 

                               Admission |  Gross in lc 

HTTYD 2 (2014)

1.046.274

3,096 Billion

HTTYD 1 (2010)

272.167

811 Million

 

How To Train Your Dragon 3 opens tomorrow and will likely become the most viewed movie of the summer. The second one experimented huge growth form the first entry and was the most viewed movie of 2014. I expect this one to improve slightly. The exchange rate, however, is pretty bad: Its 5,56 M USD are now equivalent to 4,4M so it will be hard to match the second one in dollars. Despite that, given its favorable release date as THE big movie of summer, I think it has an outside chance to enter the all-time top ten. 

 

For OW I think matching the 862K USD of the second one would be a huge success.

Some actuals from last weekend January 17-20

 

TW Movie Studio Weekend Gross Change Screens Change / Avg. Gross-to-Date Week
1 Dragon Ball Super: Broly Fox $587,735 -66.3% 149 -35 $3,945 $2,902,350 2
2 Glass Disney $266,568 - n/a - n/a $306,190 1
4 Ralph Breaks the Internet Disney $146,593 -11.6% n/a - n/a $3,817,691 9
5 Mary Poppins Returns Disney $112,868 -31.4% n/a - n/a $386,477 2
6 Bumblebee PPI $69,190 -42.0% 61 -8 $1,134 $1,184,169 4
10 Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse Sony $47,431 -35.0% 45 -11 $1,054 $834,922 5
- Dr. Seuss' The Grinch (2018) UPI $7,546 -65.7% 13 -18 $580 $1,368,822 7
- Mortal Engines UPI $4,418 -85.7% 9 -40 $491 $216,323 3

 

Dragon Ball Super: Broly held slightly better than Battle of the Gods which dived 72%. Total gross came lower than estimated at 2,9M USD. Is very unfortunate that Fox is handling the international release since it reports just the first two weeks of its movies, although after a while they report the final gross. 4M isn't totally dead if it manages to have a decent hold this weekend, because it was able to hold the majority of its showtimes, but we will only know that in a few months.

 

Glass was very disappointing, barely improving over Split. I think it will have worse legs but we are in summer so who knows. Seems unlikely to pass 1M USD. Ralph continues to have very nice late legs but is getting totally destroyed by Dragons 3 this weekend. But it managed to outgross the first one in dollars despite a much worse ER so this movie was a huge success in the end. 

 

Summer is very kind to all underperforming movies. Mary Poppins, Bumblebee and Spiderverse would be already dead in any other time of the year but are enjoying decent holds.

 

On a side note, HTTYD 3 seems to be doing good. Matching the opening of the first one in dollars is totally in play and could challenge 1M USD OW with good increases on Saturday and Sunday.

Battle Angel: The last Warrior ( local name for Alita Battle Angel) has started presales, very unusual for any release to be this early. Also, Fox seems to be pushing hard for 3D and sub-titled showings. 

 

I think it will be fun to track presales and maybe build a database to make comparisons in the future. I'll do it with the chain Cineplanet which has 20% of the market share and has a very convenient website that lets me check the showings very quickly. 

 

Anyway: Alita Battle Angel, 19 days before release.

 

OD: 46 show-times | 9619 seats available | 6 tickets sold

A lot of movement over the weekend, tough remember that the placements are cumulative so the position on Sunday is the final one.

 

Surprisingly, the trades reported a lot of info about Chile!. HTTYD 3 was first with 951K USD, a 35% increase in local currency over the second one and 10% increase in dollars. Excellent results. There aren't many good comps for animated summer hits, Moana had a 6,88x multi, Ferdinand 6.68, but those were originals. The second one had a 6.45 multiplier but this one already showed more frontloadeness with an OD four times bigger than the second one. However, summer so far has been doing wonders for the legs of all movies so we'll see. In any case, this isn't doing less than 5M USD

 

Broly reached 3,3M USD and will get a 2x multiplier eventually, but is winding down very fast. Amazing result nevertheless, in admissions, is likely to beat around 2/3 of the MCU.

 

Glass held surprisingly well with a 24% drop, just slightly worse than Split second weekend drop (20%). Maybe it will reach 1M USD after all. 

 

Finally, Burn the Stage: World Tour "Love Yourself", a Korean movie about a popular Kpop band, ended third overall for the weekend from just a single day of showtimes on Saturday.

Some Weekend Actuals, January 24–27.

 

1 How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World UPI $906,459 - 72 - $12,590 $1,191,643 1
2 Dragon Ball Super: Broly Fox $223,103 -62.0% 92 -57 $2,425 $3,353,093 3
4 Glass Disney $199,026 -25.3% n/a - n/a $593,651 2
 6 Ralph Breaks the Internet Disney $73,289 -50.0% n/a - n/a $3,946,096 10
7 Mary Poppins Returns Disney $58,192 -48.4% n/a - n/a $488,226 3
- Bumblebee PPI $19,459 -71.9% 35 -26 $556 $1,221,209 5
- Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse Sony $18,246 -61.5% 16 -29 $1,140 $879,061 6

 

Very harsh drops for everything not called Glass, due to HTTYD 3. Almost all came lower than expected tough. 

 

HTTYD 3 opened with 906K USD, still a franchise-best despite ER and excellent overall. They are reporting a total gross of 1,2M USD which is weird since it didn't have any previews (maybe reporting some of the weekdays?), in any case, an excellent start for the movie that will dominate summer. 

 

Broly suffered another 60% drop but remained over Glass, the total also came lower than expected at 3,35M. 

Glass had an excellent hold while Ralph is going to crawl over 4M USD, very impressive considering in December it looked like it wouldn't reach 3M. 

 

This weekend releases: Escape Room (4th place), Second Act (7th) and The kid who would be King (8th). Dragons 3 obviously still at the top while Broly surprisingly held the second place against Glass, so maybe is going to get a decent hold this weekend.

 Alita Battle Angel, 10 days before release

 

OD: 46 show-times | 9593 seats available | 42 tickets sold (+6 in 4 days)

 

This is about 20% of the market. 

 

Veeery slow the last few days after it had picked up a bit. Honestly, I don't even know why they even bothered doing pre-sales.

Top 10 January 31-February 3

 

  1. How to Train Your Dragon 3
  2. Glass
  3. Dragon Ball Super Broly
  4. Escape Room
  5. Aquaman
  6. Second Act
  7. Wifi-Ralph
  8. The kid who would be king
  9. The Mule 
  10. Bohemian Rhapsody 

 

HTTYD 3 grossed 741K USD on its second weekend, easing 18%. This is an excellent hold, better than the second one (-24%). While sub-20 holds are the standard for animation, sequels tend to be more frontloaded. Next weekend it faces Lego 2. The first one did just okay here but I see the second one increasing by a lot. Animated movies don't seem to affect each other much in Summer (as long as they are still going strong, but we'll see. 

 

Glass and Broly must have been very close in gross since they trade positions over the weekend. I don't know if this is very bad for Glass or very good for Broly.

 

Escape Room had a mediocre start at fourth while The Kid and Mule are dead on arrival. 

 

Bohemian Rhapsody reached its 13th weekend in the top ten, equaling The Conjuring. Impressive for live action movie (is not that unusual for animation)

Alita Battle Angel, 7 days before release

 

OD: 22 show-times (-24) | 4355 seats available (-5235) | 79 tickets sold (+37 in last 3 days)

 

This is about 20% of the market. 

 

The chain I'm tracking removed a lot of showtimes that were available for presales, almost all of which had not sold anything. Just as the presales seemed to have picked up... Well, now Alita can fill the smallest auditorium that it's playing.

 

This chain also listed presales for Captain Marvel but so far it hasn't promoted them, I will start tracking when it does that, but for now I have seats and showings. 

 

Captain Marvel

 

OD: 112 show-times | 27872 tickets available.

Some actuals from last weekend. Excellent hold for HTTYD 3,  better than the 24% drop of the second one. Fox ended tracking for Broly but it was between Glass and Escape Room. Speaking of Glass, great hold, will reach 1M USD.
