Ah yes that makes sense. I hope the movie explodes, even just to further prove how loved it was.

Weekend round-up as per Screendaily.

 

Halloween: Mexico led holdovers with a $2.5m number one result after a 52% drop that propelled the running total to $9.5m.

 

The House With A Clock In It debuted in Mexico at number two on $975,000.

 

Venom total is $22.9m.

[Carlangonz]

A Star Is Born has legged towards $60M, a quite good 3x multi and is looking to finish with $70M. It has passed Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again but is finishing behind La La Land.

 

This friday opens Bohemian Rhapsody (known in the country as The Story of Freddie Mercury) and should top easily the three films already mentioned, but by how much? Could it reach Greatest Showman's heights? 

[Purple Minion]

Coco did 18.8M lc over the weekend for 1120.24M lc total, 23.8M tickets sold.

[Carlangonz]

OCTOBER 26-28 WEEKEND. HALLOWEEN REPEATS ON TOP AS IT BECOMES BLUMHOUSE’S HIGHEST GROSSER; HOUSE WITH A CLOCK HAS A MEH OPENING AND COCO RETURNS FOR A WEEK.

 

Halloween

-Already topped titles such as Split and A Quiet Place. Is going to cross $200M by Thursday and should finish with $220M+

 

The House With a Clock in its Walls

-A little behind Goosebumps 2 which came out three weeks ago, with a crowded market probably won’t pass further $60M-$70M

 

Coco

-It keeps playing until Thursday, but Disney has decided to down ticket prices for all shows of the week, it needs about $27M to take back the all-time crown.

Venom holding well, it's now on the all time Top 40 in lc.

[Carlangonz]

Disney has decided not to extend the run for Coco re-release, so at the end won't top IW but at least it'll cross 24M admissions. 

 

Bohemian Rhapsody and Nutcracker are both opening at 1,800+ screens, the former is getting IMAX and PLF screens and the later has received 4D screens. 

 

Bohemian Rhapsody opening will be over or under Mamma Mia 2 lifetime gross ($50M)? 

 

Nutcracker will be another Solo/Christopher Robin and fall short of $100M?

December is going to be such a monster month, is very very crowded, just confirmed dates for the most important movies:

 

Dec 7 - Grinch

Dec 14 - Mortal Engines

Dec 19 - Bumblebee 

Dec 21 - Aquaman. Although Warner doesn't know what to do with this one while ironically is the one with most potential for the season along with Grinch.

Dec 25 - Mary Poppins Returns and Into the Spiderverse.

Jan 1 - Bad Times at El Royale

 

And that's not including local titles with some mojo.

 

Last year The Last Jedi was buried by Jumanji and The Greatest Showman, this year which could be the buried ones and the successful ones?

Yeah. With that line-up that's going to be crazy. Specially because Mortal Engines, Bumblebee and Aquaman will eat each other. Aquaman does look interesting and will surely be the winner of these three but not sure if it will get to 400 Million total (like WW or JL did). Mortal Engines will die a horrible death with so much competition. Mary Poppins Return will have to take a back seat to the Grinch and Perfectos Desconocidos will probably get to 100M it if is funny. 

 

And... Bohemian Rhapsody do you really think this will have such a great opening? More than 50 Million only on opening? That would really be crazy but hey you always know more than I do 😃.

Nutcracker will not get to 100Million although I really want to see it.

It's very likely that Warner moves Aquaman to the 14th, if they decide to go with it then Mortal Engines is beyond dead.

 

Mary Poppins could be a surprise hit but the original isn't really popular or known so could go either way, however i do believe Disney is going to put a lot of effort to it so it could become a success.

 

People who saw Perfectos Desconocidos at Morelia Film Fest say it'll play good with audiences, we'll see if Manolo Caro can replicate its success from TV (or well, Netflix) to movies.

 

About Bohemian Rhapsody, buzz through social media is big and marketing is everywhere, giving a look at presales i could argue that even $60M-$70M are on the cards but don't know how front-loaded is going to be from opening day and number of screens might limit it.

[Purple Minion]

Is today a holiday (día feriado)? If so, Disney wasted a big chance with Coco's re-release.

Imagine if Halloween repeats at the top, can't see any of the new openers doing big business.

[Purple Minion]

And I was wrong! Bohemian Rhapsody opened to a great $5.8M, over 100M lc.

 

Other weekend estimates/totals:

 

Halloween $11.6M so far, #1 international market.

Venom up to $23.8M.  May have crossed 450M lc.

Told ya' since beginning of the year that this was going to break-out. Mexico lovesssss Queen. 

 

Actually Friday night i expected $85M+ but yesterday and today started to take screens from other movies including Nutcracker (lol).

[Purple Minion]

Pleasantly surprised for Freddie, hope it shows legs! Movie played in 1,815 screens and had a 45% share.

 

Meanwhile, Nutcracker opened to a so-so $2.3M. Might not reach 100M lc.

[Purple Minion]

Venom in the all-time lc chart...

NOVEMBER 02-04 WEEKEND. BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY ROCKS THE BOX OFFICE AND OUTGROSSES COMPS. NUTCRACKER DEBUTS AHEAD OF CHRISTOPHER ROBIN AND WRINKLE IN TIME AND VENOM REACHES $450M LC.

 

Bohemian Rhapsody

- Already outgrossed final numbers of titles such as A Star Is Born, La La Land, Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again and Straight Outta Compton.

- Next week should beat final gross of The Greatest Showman. Also, we’ll give an idea if this can leg towards $300M, but we should seriously consider the possibility.

 

The Nutcracker and the Four Realms

-174% ahead of A Wrinke in Time and 91% ahead of Christopher Robin. Should pass $100M if it doesn’t collapse, it doesn’t face competition until Ralph Breaks the Internet.

 

Halloween

-Has a chance to surpass The Conjuring as 6^th highest horror film of all-time, also it could pass Anabelle as 5^th.

[Purple Minion]

Btw @Carlangonz do you have an updated total for Coco?

[carlsalf38]

Well. I'm glad I don't do this for a living. 100 Million for Bohemain Rhapsody??? In no way I thought this would gross as much. I like Queen but didn't think the whole country loves them¡ Well... It was a very nice performance and probably have some legs as a lot of people in my theater thought it was a good movie (I really liked it although I feel they went for the easy way). Rami Malek indeed made a fantastic job and will surely take some awards for this (and of course be nominated for an Oscar).

 

The Nutcracker will surely cross 100 Million although there was probably some money left on the table. I've heard some good things about it but couldn't see it over the weekend.

 

Bohemain will probably win this weekend too, especially if it holds well. Or do you see Overlord breaking out? Loca por el Trabajo can be a surprise but I haven't seen that much promotion for this one. First Man and Spider's Web will compete for the adult market so neither will break. I was really looking forward to see First Man until I began reading reviews it just sounds looooong.

 

[Purple Minion]

Venom up $23.9M by Thursday.
