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

[Purple Minion]

F9 becomes the 37th movie to cross the 500M lc threshold, and there's still gas in the tank.

 

33    527,000,000    Black Panther (2018)
34    514,743,874    Suicide Squad (2016)

35    508,900,000    F9 (2021)

JULY 29TH-AUGUST 1ST WEEKEND. JUNGLE CRUISE BARELY REGISTERS $1M AS ONE OF DISNEY'S LOWEST RECENT OPENINGS. EVERYTHING ELSE BUT SNAKE EYES SEES DECENT HOLDS AND FAST 9 IS THE FIRST TITLE SINCE FROZEN 2 TO PASS $500M.

 

Jungle Cruise

• One of the lowest wide openings in recent history for Disney; on par with A Wrinkle in Time and shall be one of the very few wide releases by Disney to not to pass $100M in the last decade.

Space Jam: A New Legacy

• Important to notice this is the only family-film to cross $100M during pandemic times and even though is legging behind comparable family films in previous years (i.e. Hotel Transylvania 3, Lion King) it's keeping up pace to finish around $170M.

Fast and Furious 9

• First title to gross $500M+ since Frozen 2 and seems to remain as the highest grossing title of the year until December unless Delta prevents it.

Black Widow

• It will barely cross $200M and finish as the second less grossing title in the MCU only above The Incredible Hulk. In terms of admissions it'll be the less impactful.

This Thursday opens: The Suicide Squad, Blackpink: The Movie (Wednesday opening) and Sin Señas Particulares

[Purple Minion]

Weak $2M OW for The Suicide Squad, the C rating definitely impacted.

Jungle Cruise total is $2M.

Any other movie in 2021 that could become a box office tent-pole?

[Carlangonz]

AUGUST 5TH-8TH WEEKEND. THE SUICIDE SQUAD TAKES THE HIT FROM ITS C (18+ ONLY) RATING AND A MEASURED BUZZ. OVERALL GOOD DROPS IN THE TOP 10.

 

The Suicide Squad

- Fourth best opening of the year for Warner but on par with others like AQP or below Cruella. Shall fight to cross $120M. It's quite similar to John Wick 3's performance two years ago.

This Thursday opens: Free Guy, Un Rescate de Huevitos, Don't Breathe 2, Made in Italy, Yermo and El Gran Salto

[Carlangonz]

Seems to be that Black Widow will be only the second MCU title not to cross $200M lc after 2008's The Incredible Hulk. In terms of admissions will be the lowest grossing title for the franchise staying 27% behind 2008's Hulk. Shang-Chi should challenge it.

[Purple Minion]

Totals, as per BoxOfficeReport:

 

The Suicide Squad $3.5M

Jungle Cruise $2.5M

Free Guy (OW) $0.8M, #2 opening.

PP number 1.

[Purple Minion]

Paw Patrol #1 with $864K, according to Deadline. Suicide Squad reached $4.3M.

[charlie Jatinder]

@Carlangonz how are we looking for Shang Chi. Theater exclusivity should help it no. BW numbers in LaTAM are awful, hopefully it crosses them.

[Purple Minion]

Deadline reports that Free Guy finally reached the top after 2 weeks. Probably the first time it's happened?

[Purple Minion]

Well, it didn't. Weekend / Total in lc.

 

01 Paw Patrol 9.8M / 32.3M

02 Free Guy 9.6M / 48.3M

03 Candyman 7.1M / 7.1M

[charlie Jatinder]

What happend to Mexico man. GvK opening was HUGE and then F9 did quite well (ugh) but BW was disaster and now I have a bad feeling for SC. DIS didn't report territory wise yday so there is a lot of range there but seeing other markets, it feel tough, might have only done $3M 4 days.

[Purple Minion]

Free Guy reached $2.8M.

Superhero fatigue

[Purple Minion]

45.4M lc OW for Shang-Chi ($2.3M), Canacine is no longer adding the number of screens so I assume theatre capacity has been impacted by the pandemic.

 

The Suicide Squad crossed $5M.

[charlie Jatinder]

Hoping for not good but great hold $1.75M+ weekend. 🙃
