I love these numbers, thanks Purple

 

It's great to see that this promising market is still growing at a brisk pace

FD OD over LC50m, could be looking at it being 2/3 biggest animated OWe in $lc & admits

Edited July 17, 2016 by Rth

[Olive]

CW is the all-time 3-day OW with 351.3M lc ($20.3M).

So around 230M local$(USD12-12.5M)

[keysersoze123]

which film holds the record for all time total? is there a 1B grosser in Mex.

[Purple Minion]

Not yet. Only one movie has crossed 800M and that's The Avengers (827M):

 

[Purple Minion]

Weekend estimates (Boxoffice.com, Deadline):

• FD $9.4M OW, less than my estimates. 2nd biggest Disney/Pixar opening. Enough to join the Top 10 OS markets, however legs will be crucial to consider it a resounding success.
• Tarzan $9.2M total. OK-ish $2.1M weekend.
• IA5 $19.6M total. That's about a $1M weekend, quite low for a third week.

Correct biggest is TA, biggest Admits Minions, Pre 2004 its Titanic

[Purple Minion]

Actual weekend numbers! FD opened with 177.8M lc 3-day ($9.67M), second highest for Pixar/Disney behind TS3, fourth highest animated opening and #13 highest 3-day OW, between Maleficent and MU. Not a bad number at all, but was hoping for a 200+M lc OW. If it behaves like MU, it should end with 550-575M ($30-32M), we'll have a clearer idea with Friday midweek numbers.

Tarzan held decently, but Scrat got annihilated (71% drop); it won't reach IA4 in lc. Me Before You somehow got to the $11M mark, and The Shallow opened as good as it gets.

Ice Age 5 has definitely no room for several animated movies unlike Brazil.

I really expected Dory over TS3

[Nova]

So The Shallows opened good in Mexico? Im trying to get a feeling for how its doing in international markets. I only know how blockbusters work and not the smaller scale films so I'm not sure whats a good opening or not for them. Im also baffled at how well Me Before You is doing internationally. It was a decent hit here in the states but I would have never predicted the run it has OS. 

 

Also its pretty clear Ice Age 5 is going to be a bust. Its a bust everywhere else.

[Purple Minion]

To put things in perspective, The Shallows OW was higher than Joy, Hateful Eight and Zoolander #2, about the same as The Danish Girl and Money Monster and smaller than The Boy and The Witch. It was never going to make big bucks in this market, but far from a total disaster.

 

FD is the 3rd biggest OW of 2016, behind CW and BVS, and it's already Top 15 of the year:

 

13 235,081,819 Revenant

14 203,254,887 Me Before You

15 177,828,377 Finding Dory

16 172,494,649 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Out of the Shadows

17 171,997,278 The Legend of Tarzan

18 135,230,644 The Hunstman: Winter War

 

 

 

[Purple Minion]

Weekly figures!

 

 

Dory keeps swimming, already reached $15M in one week, at a faster pace than MU. It has grossed almost the same in lc as KFP3's full run and should pass Zootopia on Sat! This weekend will be key to its box office ambitions since it will get impacted next one by SLOP.

 

Tarzan and IA5 had decent holds; Scrat jumped over Conjuring 2 and it's now #4 of the year and #29 all-time, however a long way from IA3 and IA4:

 

09  618,218,437  Ice Age: Continental Drift (2012)
15  539,541,637  Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs (2009)

29  382,533,686  Ice Age: Collision Course (2016) - as of Thu

 

Only new big opening is NYSM2. I'd be very surprised if Dory loses the weekend crown.

When will Lights Out open in Mexico? I think it will be big.

[Purple Minion]

Next week, along with SLOP.

 

Estimated weekend numbers (Deadline, Boxoffice.com):

• FD repeats at #1 with about $4M, for a $19.1M (350M lc) total. 58% drop, not holding as well as expected. Nonetheless, #6 of the year after just 10 days and breaks into the all time Top 40.
• Tarzan $11.8M total, about $1.2M weekend.
• IA5 deflates further with a $0.7M weekend for a $21.3M total.
• The Shallows $467K, $2.2M cume.

it was a better film 

[VinceMichaudC]

The John Chu-helmed thriller that stars Jesse Eisenberg and Woody Harrelson opened strong in Mexico raking in $3.7M — more than doubling the first’s debut in 2013. It was up 63% from the first.
