[Purple Minion]

Frozen 2 was overestimated, actual is 167.1M lc (about $8.7M); still a good start.

Joker out of the Top 10.

Can it have 3.5x legs? Finish at $30M?

[Purple Minion]

Unlikely, a 3x multiplier to end over 500M lc ($26M) should be the goal. But this has been a mad year... let's see how it holds this weekend, there's no real competition until Jumanji 2 on Dec 12.

[Carlangonz]

NOVEMBER 22^ND-24^TH WEEKEND. ELSA & ANNA CONQUER A NEW RECORD FOR WALT DISNEY ANIMATION STUDIOS AND SECOND BEST NOVEMBER BOW. MALEFICENT SPENTS ITS SIXTH CONSECUTIVE WEEKEND ON THE TOP 3. FORD V FERRARI SPEEDS UP TOWARDS AN INCREDIBLE SECOND WEEKEND.

 

Frozen 2

- Beats Ralph Breaks the Internet by 32.8% and sets a new opening record for Walt Disney Animation Studios. It’s the 8^th best opening for an animation –not counting The Lion King- overall.

- Second best first frame for November only behind 2017’s Justice League.

- Besides Jumanji: The Next Level in 3 weeks there’s no other competition until Spies in Disguise in 5 weeks so it could leg well through the way into the holidays and go over $500M and surpass Maleficent: Mistress of Evil as the 8^th highest grosser of the year.

 

Maleficent: Mistress of Evil

- Second movie in the year to spend 6 consecutive weeks on the Top 3 after Dreamworks’ hit How To Train Your Dragon 3 which always took a spot in the 1-2-3 through February and  two weeks of March.

- Despite opening on par with Dumbo now is ahead of it by 16%, talk about legs. Is looking to finish $100M (17.8%) behind first Maleficent.

Do you guys have daily data for frozen 2?? if so i would appreciate if you can post it at least for this and next week

[Purple Minion]

Unless the movie studios report daily figures (usually for big movies), there's no day-to-day info for the Mexican box office.

CANACINE updates their Top 10 tables on Mondays (weekends) and Fridays (weekdays).

What a great number for Frozen 2¡ This was what we needed to end the bad streak during November... now if it can have real legs during the whole month and get it to 550M that would be awesome¡ Hahaha.

 

So If my numbers are correct we have already passed the 17B mark (so 2019 has ALREADY the record for yearly income) but considering we're only left with 5 weekends and only Jumani as the big player I'm not sure it will be enough to pass the 18.5B mark by year's end (unless I have something wrong in the numbers), even it's sad we didn't get higher still a great year, right? Do you really think 2021 can come close to that???

 

Have you heard anything about Guadalupe Reyes? I was reading someone saying it can be a sleeper hit, I'm just thinking about 25M but by now who knows??

Is it like The Hangover in diciembre? Placa de acero did horribly, so it'd be great for local movies to have a good end of the year.

 

We can also hope TROS has a decent performance because of the hype of being "the last one". 400M lc would be nice.

$17.6B. Your goal should be safe

Kind of  It's right on time for the holidays.

Wish it could pull that off. But there's no much room to grow from The Last Jedi.

 

Knives Out is opening limited this weekend only at VIP locations before its wide expansion next week. You should check it out @carlsalf. Saw it at Morelia and really enjoyed it.

Hehehe. MY goal¡ Just wishful thinking but yes... if we're already at 17.6B then 18.5B is basically locked up... and with the lucrative December corridor ahead anything can happen¡¡

Have you noticed is the last Mexican movie of the decade that could be big? It's the last push for Mexican Cinema (comercially speaking of course) as the 10's are basically over...

I'm not a hardcore fan of Star Wars but I'm a real fan (I went to see the Prequels at midnight and own the original trilogy) but after The Last Jedi my interest in seeing this has really diminished. I will see it (cause I have to...) but I'm in no rush to do it. I'm not seeing 400M either even if is being labeled as "the end of an era"

I bought tickets for this one when it was in Cinepolis. I REALLY wanted to see it but due to conflicting scheduling I wasn't able to attend to but yes... of course I will see it if not this weekend then the next one. Did you see Parasite, it really blew me away. I think it can easily be my favorite movie of the year (without Avengers in the title).

Frozen 2 225.7M lc up to Thu ($11.7M).

Good or bad sign based on the weekdays?

It's following the same pattern as Ralph last year so it's a good sign for a potential $90M+ (drop in the 30s) second weekend.

That would be good for an already great year for local films.

Saw in there too. Loved it, was hypnotized by it.

Good second weekend for Frozen 2 total now $17.0M (about 330M lc). Should become #1 WDAS movie by next Friday.

5th best second weekend for an animation behind the Pixar juggernauts (Toy Story 4, Coco, Toy Story 3 and Incredibles 2). 

 

It's behaving just like Ralph Breaks the Internet last year but the gap is supposed to get bigger on favor of Elsa & Anna as there's no competition in sight -besides Jumanji in two weekends- unlike Ralph which dealt with Grinch (3rd weekend), Aquaman (4th weekend), Bee (4th 1/2 weekend). Let's see where is headed.

Could it keep its good legs during christmas time? Can it get 550+ lc?

First depends on screen retention. Second could happen but still uncertain, it would require a performance similar to Maleficent 2 and HTTYD 3. 

[Purple Minion]

Actuals for Frozen 2: 99M lc 2nd weekend, really good hold, total is a nice 325.7M lc.

Another week in the Top 5 for Maleficent 2, it should reach 500M lc.
