MARCH 21-24 WEEKEND. 

 

1. Kung Fu Panda 4 - $75M/$381.8M (-57.24%)

2. Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire - $44.6M 

3. Dune: Part II - $10.6M/$174.8M (-48.79%)

4. The Iron Claw - $7.7M 

5. One Life - $5.6M/$22.3M (-48.15%)

6. Robot Dreams - $4.9M/$18.9M (+4.26%)

7. Canta y No Llores - $4.6M

8. Noche de Bodas - $2.8M/$41.9M (-70.53%)

9. Luca - $2.7M

10. Vermines - $2.7M

 

Kung Fu Panda 4 has a bigger than expected drop after being boosted by last Monday's holiday but also reflecting a poorer WOM compared to previous entries. Upcoming Easter holidays and lack of competition will help it past $450M+ and taking it around to $500M in the end.

 

Frozen Empire stays consistent with previous Ghostbusters' titles in lc. It'll lose steam with screen loss when GxK opens but should do enough to pass $100M. It's never been a particularly outstanding franchise on the box office but it remains with an unbeatable track.

By losing its last premium screens on Thursday, Dune begins with its final days looking to finish below the $200M milestone. A bit underwhelming after its strong first weekend showing it still suffers from sci-fi not being much of a draw in the market.

Robot Dreams increases once again from last weekend and crosses $1M USD. It would've been great to see it getting an expansion from its original footprint but it's a great result for it nevertheless.

 

 

Dune doing around 130% more than the first part USD wise is excellent and even the exchange rate adjusted +80%? is great growth from the first one. There's not much that you can do for the inherent interest for Dune type of sci-fi and its cultural roots.

So 9M final possible?

Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire

 

Quote

The top overall market on Thursday was Mexico with $4.1M including previews and a 69% share of the Top 5 films. That’s the best start of the year and is above all comps.

Around 68M lc OD/previews for the Monsters, already on the Yearly Top 10. Wow. It's looking like a $14M+ OW.

Yeah, let alone $200M but $250M+ is the 4-Day goal.

[charlie Jatinder]

Holy shit. Mexico never ceases to surprise me.

[Issac Newton]

Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire

 

$7.2M aka MEX$118M+ in 2-Days!

[Carlangonz]

Is looking like $240M but Sunday could overperform pushing it to $250M/$15M USD.

This is the Jurassic World-type of break-out that neither of the previous Monsterverse titles saw.

[charlie Jatinder]

M$700K final possible?

[Purple Minion]

$12.8M OW for Kongzilla, about 210M lc. Sat and Sun are getting hard to predict this year. Still a great result.

 

KFP4 reached $28.4M, 470M lc, very close to Wonka; Dune 2 $10.9M.

MARCH 28-31 WEEKEND. 

 

1. Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire - $212.2M/$227.7M

2. Kung Fu Panda 4 - $57.8M/$478.1M (-22.93%)

3. Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire - $29M/$96M (-34.98%)

4. Dune: Part II - $7.8M/$188.4M (-26.42%)

5. Robot Dreams - $7M/$29M (+42.86%)

6. The Iron Claw - $5,5M/$17.8M (-28.57%)

7. One Life - $4.7M/$29.9M (-16.07%)

8. Canta y No Llores - $2.2M/$9.4M (-52.17%)

9. Noche de Bodas - $1.7M/$45.3M 

10. The Taste of Things - $1.3M (-39.29%)

 

Best opening of the year for Godzilla and Kong doubling the opening of Godzilla v Kong. It has an empty April and upcoming holidays on May that will push late legs so is looking like it'll go above $600M.

 

Panda sees a soft drop from the holidays around and soon will surpass Puss in Boots 2 as Dreamworks' highest title ever in lc. In admissions reamins on the run for 10M+

 

Great holiday performance will make Frozen Empire the highest grossing Ghostbusters' release going past 2016's and Afterlife entire runs by next week.

Robot Drems has been increasing week to week for nearly a month now. It has peaked this weekend but looks like it shall challenge a 10x multi from its opening weekend despite never expanding from over 300 screens. For example: Panda and Kongzilla are in 2,000 and 3,800 respectively.

I hadn't noticed but for its distributor; Robot Dreams is now their second highest grosser ever only below... The Boy and the Heron. Pretty good streak for non-studio animation during the last year.

[Issac Newton]

Quite Impressive (⁠☉⁠｡⁠☉⁠)⁠!

 

[charlie Jatinder]

Imagine $=10 peso.

 

Then imagine 25M admits of EG, with market growth probably 27M.

 

80 peso ATP.

 

2.16B peso gross aka $216M

[Issac Newton]

I wish nothing more than our exchange rate 💱 could atleast bump back to Demon Slayer ($1 = ¥105) 

 

Current rates are making $ numbers absolutely poor ($1 = ¥151)

$1.6M debut

Any numbers for Arthur the King? Mexico is a dog country. I am curious to see if it can snatch a couple of millions there.
