Huh, I’m surprised Infinity War had that record over Endgame, TS4 or Mario.

It's added only as a comparison but the record is still hold by No Way Home. Then it's Endgame and BTS in Las Vegas.

$8 9M OW for The Nun 2, about 152M lc. 50M lc less than the first. ER has gone down 6% in the last week.

[Safeno Rdz]

So, no local film this year to dominate the national holidays, right? Interesting...

[MrHardapple]

Any weekend numbers / total for Sound of Freedom?

It had a great hold in Argentinia.

[Purple Minion]

It had a good hold here.

The only one showing is "Welcome al norte", which is a remake of the French title "Bienvenue chez les ch'tis".

[Purple Minion]

The other big opener is A Haunting in Venice. Murder in the Orient Express opened to 22.3M lc, for a 56.1M lc total and 1M tickets sold, will it be able to reach those numbers? Death on the Nile grossed less than 25M lc in total.

Not until Heroico next weekend. Sadly streaming has killed any chance for a resurgance of local cinema in theatres for post-pandemic era. Not only in here but most of the region overall.

Yeah, kinda surprising a deal was reached. Still don't think will make much more from there.

[Purple Minion]

Just a little scare in Venice, looks like OW < $1M, waiting for actuals. $4.0M for The Nun 2, $14.9M (255M lc) total.

[MrHardapple]

Any updated Sound of Freedom numbers for Mexico?

[Purple Minion]

For some reason there's no info for SOF on the weekend reports. We'll know tomorrow Monday.

 

Venice opened to just $700K, most probably at #3.

SEPTEMBER 14-17. INDEPENDENCE DAY WEEKEND.

Despite being amidst the weekend, there was a very positive effect from Independence Day.

1. The Nun II - $72.4M/$259.7M (-48.47%)

2. Sound of Freedom - $23.2M/$164.7M (-46.05%)

3. Haunting in Venice - $12.8M 

4. Gran Turismo - $10.1M/$116.1M (-39.16%)
5. Welcome Al Norte - $9.7M

6. The Dive - $5M
7. After Everything - $4.5M
8. Retribution - $3.2M/$39.2M (-64.45%)

9. TMNT: Mutant Mayhem - $2.5M/$121.6M (-32.44%)

10. Blue Beetle - $2M/$107.8M (-54.55%)

Nun is holding pretty good with a week left before Saw X arrives and Exorcist the week after. Seems like it'll take a spot among the crowded $350M club this year among Elemental and Rise of the Beasts. Similar to Warner's own Meg 2.

Sound of Freedom still being a phenomenon particularly among religious audiences looks like will come close to $200M pending on how it holds screens.

Gran Turismo showing great legs now passing both TMNT and Blue Beetle. Is not a tremendous result but not okay-ish either.

Blue Beetle now leaving as the 3rd worst result for a wide release this summer only above Ruby Gillman and Indiana Jones V.

Barbie - 914.6M ($54.3M) upto Sunday -

[Purple Minion]

Jaysus, Gran Turismo was this close to be #3. Hope it can catch them turtles.

It's curious how hard local cinema fell, we haven't had a local success during the COVID era, not even a streaming hit tbh. It's curious how big hits keep getting released around the world, but not from Mexico. And looking at the local films released this couple years, the quality seems to be all gone. I don't think Heroico could be the one to bring back the box office. Probably it's gonna take something controversial, like New order or Dance of the 41, which got a lot of interest, and could've been huge if released outside lockdown. Bardo had interest from the public, but was too metaphoric for the GP. Even a fan favorite like Luis Estrada flopped on streaming with his new film.

Expend4bles opens today, the previous entries didn't set the box office on fire. Third one grossed less than the second, and sold just 100K additional tickets than the original.
