[Carlangonz]

JULY 4-7 WEEKEND.

 

1. Despicable Me 4 - $229.6M

2. Inside Out 2 - $91.2M/$1655.4M (-57.38%)

3. A Quiet Place: Day One - $43.8M/$164M (-50%)

4. Bad Boys for Life - $7.9M/$271.6M (-64.89%)
5. Maxxxine - $5.1M 

6. Jeanne Du Barry - $1.9M

7. The Great Escaper - $1.1M

8. Exhuma - $0.21M/$9.9M (-88.95%)

9. Hit Man - $0.20M/$17.7M (-92.59%)

10. The Bikeriders - $0.15M/$15M (-94.44%)

Strong weekend for the Top 3; Despicable Me 4 remains on par with previous entries of the franchise; below both Minions and Despicable Me 3 but within the same range and looking to finish around $700M by the time its run ends.

Inside Out 2 becomes the highest grosser ever in lc after a great hold all things considered; it held best than first Inside Out (to Minions), Monsters University (to Despicable Me 2) and Toy Story 4 (to Far From Home). It has now surpassed a 3x multi as well; apples to oranges but Toy Story 4 and Incredibles too went just above 3x legs but from a 3-Day opening.

Day One also holds well and it has already become the highest grosser of the franchise in lc. Without any upcoming direct competition looks like will be it in admissions too.

Despite great results from Top 3; everything else got stomped after a massive screen loss for minor holdovers and reflects as the worst results for ranks 5-10 in years. As examples; 8-9-10 are now playing in less than 20 screens combined (to nearly 6k combined of the Top 2) and will be wiped out by next weekend.

Pretty strong first day for Deadpool & Wolverine; excluding musical events (BTS, The Eras Tour) is perhaps the best since Multiverse of Madness: 8411/19378 - 43.4% occupancy

Sales for previews are already higher than GOTG3 previews and The Marvels opening day combined at T-0. 3.2x of Barbie's first 30 hours.

DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE - WEDNESDAY NIGHT PREVIEWS (T-16 DAYS)

Title	Seats sold	Seats available	Occupancy	Growth from T-19
Deadpool & Wolverine	10353	19378	53.43%	+19.23%

 

I won't do comps at the same point before release and simply post numbers because there's nothing even coming close. I'll rather go with how much is over from where the next comps were at T-0:

Title	Seats sold	Seats available	Occupancy	Comp in %	Comp in lc
Fast X	10139	16907	59.97%	102.11%	$37.78M
The Flash	5353	12348	43.35%	193.41%	$30.95M
Guardians 3	6643	12606	52.7%	155.85%	$36.94M

There's less room to growth since occupancy already holds the highest % of them all with over 2 weeks left but should go higher nevertheless.

The highest occupancy rate among everything I've tracked is Five Nights at Freddy's with a massive 96% but seems tough as many of the late night and especially subbed shows won't be completely filled but I think we aim a good 90% final occupancy.

 

Current night previews record is Multiverse of Madness with $70.9M. With a much higher ATP; this shall be coming close to it but may be a bit more front-loaded considering rating limitations. Crazy it will break the C-rating record within its opening weekend; never happened before for any other rating.

Seems rather fitting that Shrek 5 is announced right after an animation becomes the highest grosser ever.

Get those 2 billions, burro!

 

The only big opener this weekend is Twisters, right? No info on the 1996 movie performance, the closest comparison I could find was Into The Storm in 2014: 43.9M lc OW, 140.4M lc total and 3.187M tickets sold.

It is. Tbf I don't think it was popular; not even many mentions from runs on TV. FWIW I'm seeing good reactions from press screenings , maybe a discret $40M-$50M opening weekend.

[charlie Jatinder]

2026 will have sequels to 3 previous All Time Grossers in span of 2.5 months + one sequel to a $1500M+ film.

 

INSANITY.

[charlie Jatinder]

$21M 2 days of weekdays. 3 will be $32M range I guess (0.5M admits, 0.7M admits MON-THU). No major release next weekend right? Can see $60-70M weekend aka FSS $50-60M (0.8M admits FSS)

 

TS4 had
1.2M on weekdays & 1.1M at weekends and did 2.4M after. Without TLK could have been 3M I guess.

Can expect 2.25-2.5M aka $150M+ from IO2 I guess. That would be $1910M+.

roughly 107m in USD

[Purple Minion]

CANACINE's wacky figures, I think these are totals up to Tue:

 

Despicable Me 4: 288M lc, 3.7M tickets. Solid weekdays for a $16M-ish total.

Inside Out 2: 1.676B lc, 22.7M tickets. 1.7B by Friday?

Quiet Place Day One: 175.8M lc, 2.3M tickets.

Bad Boys 4: 273.8M lc, 3.8M tickets.

funny to see more and more Hollywood movie become more popular in Mexico than in United States itself.(actually a lot of America media is bigger oversea)

I wonder if the massive growth of the Hispanic demographic in the USA has a lot to do with that.  Hispanics are now one of the biggest, if not the biggest demographic, for movies in the USA.  A movie that is a massive hit among Hispanic people in California and Texas is probably going to be a big hit south of the border too.

Is pacing slowly now in the middle of the window and probably won't take another big acceleration until the end. A couple of shows were added; we'll see if next week there are some more.

It will. $1.687B up to Wednesday; 22.85M admissions surpassing Super Mario Bros and shall do it too with No Way Home by Sunday.

After Shrek 5 news' broke I was reminded that first Shrek installments were partially adapted to the spanish dubbing by local comedian Eugenio Derbez (who also dubs Donkey) and Gus Rodriguez. Both of them worked on Derbez major comedy series back on late 90s and early 2000's with Rodriguez overseeing scripts.

Part of Shrek big success was precisely the great job on dialogue adaptation and dubbing which was met with great reception and left a mark on the cultural impact of the saga.

Gus Rodriguez also worked as a TV host on a variety show called Nintendomania, very popular in the 90s where he reviewed Nintendo's games and consoles. This was an era where Nintendo wasn't much of a deal in the country and there was a mix of fascination by Gus and Nintendo's plans to gain awareness. 

Besides Nintendomania, Gus also helmed edition of a local magazine named Club Nintendo; it had similar purposes as Nintendomania with advantages of print media back then -special editions, games, tournaments, prizes for subs, etc.- and like the TV show; it was a hit as well for both Gus and Nintendo which footprint in the country expanded considerably.

Sadly, both magazine and TV show came to an end eventually and Gus passed away in 2020. When Super Mario Bros came out people remembered them all and Gus was someone to be indirectly blamed on the movie's large success.

He won't be either for Shrek V but is a funny story that without doing it on purpose; he had responsability on two of the most important entertainment franchises. Both sequels to face off in 2026.

Woah. It would have crossed $100M with May's ER.

[Purple Minion]

$19.5M total for Despicable Me 4 up to Friday. ER has also improved ~5% in the last fortnight.

 

Edited July 13 by Purple Minion

$70M final?

[Purple Minion]

For DM4? I think $40-45M is more reasonable, but then again animation is overperforming these days and ER is falling, so...

Not too bad but makes $1B tricky. Do you think IO2 will benefit now from the improved ER or still finish below $100M?
