Mexico Box Office | Kongzilla repeats on top, Civil War and Abigail underperform

[Purple Minion]

$19.1M for Deadpool 2. Overestimated again? If not, comfortably surpassing the first one.

[Carlangonz]

A few news...

• Incredibles 2 was screened this past wednesday to local press and a small group of fans. Brad Bird and John Walker were present and held a Q&A session with fans. There was also a junket and all were required to sign NDAs. Tickets go on sale this friday.
• Tickets for Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom go on sale tomorrow (Mon). It'll start with the 4-Day weekend summer period.

Jesús de Veracruz, Solo didn't even make $1M on its second week. Real chance of not reaching 100M lc.

 

DP2 repeats at #1, Overboard crosses 500M lc, IW new total is 1128.54M lc.

Baywatch is going to make more money than Solo.

Emoji: The Movie is going to have a higher gross than Solo.

Bloody Geostorm's box office will surpass Solo... by 50%.

$2.6M OW for O8.

$59.9M total for IW. Those legs (thanks, Solo)!

...and DP2 crosses 400M lc ($21.0M), with room to breathe until the dinos arrive.

Considering the ER is the worst in 16 months and that this isn't exactly a beloved saga in the country this can be considered an overperformer, great surprise. 

[Carlangonz]

There's a funny strategy from Disney for Incredibles 2 release; for obvious reasons the movie won't roll its run on June 15th midnight but won't do either at friday morning, instead it'll do at 9:00 PM of June 14th as the studio decided to do Thursday previews starting that time (although IMAX Perisur has a 11:00 PM show for some reason lol), which are anyway quite late for a family movie. As far as i've seen they're selling pretty good and are proving this isn't just for families.

Now enjoy a funny thing spotted on Mexico City streets

 

[Purple Minion]

Solo's total is....  93.19M lc.  100M looking grim, specially with I2 coming this Thursday.

D2 was overestimate again, total is 397.9M lc.

[Carlangonz]

JUNE 08-10 WEEKEND. OCEAN'S 8 AND HEREDITARY OPEN ON TOP; OVERBOARD PASSES BLACK PANTHER AND DEADPOOL IS CLOSE TO $400M.

 

Ocean's 8 
- Excellent start; 10% ahead of Ghostbusters and close to pass such titles as Orient Express, Atomic Blonde and Red Sparrow. As part of the 'theft' genre is above comps like Point Break (+50%) and summer 2013's Now You See Me (+30%) but behind Now You See Me 2 (-26%) and hey... is over Solo!
- Let's wait to next weekend result to see if can be a decent counter-programming.

Hereditary
- Slow start, behind The Witch and Don't Breathe for a few millions, we'll see if wom is as good as the one for those two.

So i just found out that Josh Brolin and Benicio del Toro came to promote Sicario 2... today! They're at Mexico City and in this precise moment while i type this they're showing the movie to local media. The film is set to open on June 28, i don't know if was a great or a terrible idea to release it the exact weekend of elections.

And i really really don't want carry up myself for exciment yet but oh boy, those I2 presales look massive for an animation and huge for a SH title, previews are packed everywhere at main cities and OD is promising, if keeps the same consistency as MCU and develops an equally high level of walk-ups i think we're looking at $200M+ ($10M+ USD) OW.

[Purple Minion]

Gee, talk about bad timing for Sicario 2...

Would Disney consider I2 a 3-day or a 4-day OW?

Don't know yet, i remember TS3 and HP6 also had this type of previews starting 7:00 PM but couldn't find nothing on them. Considering this one starts at 9:00 PM would make more sense to include them on Friday figures but guess we should wait and see.

[Purple Minion]

Pity CANACINE doesn't publish midweek charts any longer.

[Carlangonz]

Less than hour left for Incredibles 2 to open and since yesterday theatres everywhere have been adding more preview shows that have been filling pretty good, in some theatres and areas is outselling not just every animated comp but also finds itself beating most SH titles with exception of bigger PS driven installments such as BvS, AoU, CW and IW. Not expecting huge walk-ups for tonight since weather is affecting business in a large part of the country but this is looking to be insane, maybe second biggest 3-Day OW for the year.

 

EDIT. Screen count seems to be conservative for OD, about 4,000-4,100; should take on more as the weekend goes on. And forget about the rain, not even that can stop this, theatres at center and south keep adding shows for 10;00-10:30 PM and they're selling quickly; a theatre at east Mexico City even opened a 11:30 PM show!

Let's not go that far 😅
But looking at numbers in South America and tracking in the US looks like this is giving a run to Fallen Kingdom as 2nd biggest title of the year ($30M+), don't want to get much excited on USD gross since is near to historical levels
