Mexico Box Office | Planet of the Apes is king with $6.4M OW; good holds for Garfield and Challengers

[Fullbuster]

So $1 is worth 22 pesos and they said that could go until $1 = 40 pesos...that would be a disaster for the Mexican Box Office

 

You must feel angry in Mexico with everything happening now, my heart is with you guys

[Purple Minion]

Weekend table.  Resident Evil TLC has the highest 3-day OW of the year so far. But audiences are deserting Xander and the Assassin, both fall more than 60%. La La Land is flourishing in previews.

ER is actually getting better, down to 20.5 pesos.

Rings is getting slightly more screens than The Great Wall this weekend. A Dog's Purpose ($2.7M up to Thursday) seems to be holding better than Resident Evil ($4.5M).

[Purple Minion]

Weekend estimates (Screendaily):

• The Great Wall on top with $2.7M.
• Rings #2, $2.2M.
• La La Land opens wide to $2.2M including previews. I thought general opening was on Valentine's.
• A Dog's Purpose had a $1.2M weekend for a $3.8M total.
• A $1.1M weekend for Resident Evil TLC, total = $5.6M.

[Purple Minion]

Weekend actuals. Bad holds again for chart toppers (RE:TLC in this case), none of the recent "blockbusters" has broken out. Sing will get very close to 300M lc.

Today Monday is a holiday so expect solid numbers by Thursday.

Things may change due to these Friday numbers (Deadline):

• Fifty Shades Darker #1; probably over $1M.
• Batman Lego #2. $489K on 968 screens (on par with the first installment).

[Purple Minion]

Weekend numbers. Closer than I thought between 50 Shades and Lego Batman! Good hold by Hidden Figures.

I saw that about the ER, that's great

[Purple Minion]

Thanks to an improved ER, Logan is now the #1 movie of the year in USD, with $8,037,437, but #4 in lc. It should be the first movie of 2017 to cross the 200M lc barrier.

Kong had a good OD, could dethrone Logan as best OW of the year.

 

From Deadline:

In Mexico, Kong had its biggest new launch on Friday at $1.2M from 2,467 screens to comp 30% above Godzilla, 29% over Pacific Rim and more than double 2005’s King Kong..

[Purple Minion]

Weekend figures. How close Logan (110,140,000) and Kong (109,960,000) were in their OW! The mutant crosses 200M lc and becomes the #1 of the year, although not for long if another Beast has something to say....

Interesting article from Variety about Mexican BO in 2016:

 

All told, Hollywood, Mexican and other country movies earned a combined Pesos 15.25 billion ($782 million) box office at Mexican theaters last year, an all-time record, and 10.5% up on 2015. At 330.7 admissions, attendance in Mexico was another historic high, according to comScore stats.

But those records fell in a year when only two movies, “Captain America: Civil War” ($42.2 million) and “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice”($35.9 million) approached behemoth status in Mexico. Led by “Furious 7,” four movies punched those sort of numbers in 2015.
The top 10 titles in Mexico last year accounted for 30% of total box office, down from 38% in 2015, per comScore analysis.

“What we did not have in 2016 was what I call the ‘Summer effect.’ Whenever you have a year of Hollywood blockbusters, that’s 2.5 months less exhibition space for U.S. independent and Mexican movies,” argued Luis Vargas, comScore’s Mexico City-based executive director for Latin America.

In 2016, in contrast, “many more movies grossed more money,” driving box office results as a whole, as exhibitors were able to fine tune bows and holdovers, he added.

Deadline reports an OD of $2.4M for BatB, aiming for an OW in the $9M vicinity. It will easily snatch the yearly OW crown, and may sneak into the all-time Top 20 OW in lc. ER is at its lowest in months, and Monday is a bank holiday so 4-day OW numbers will be hu-uge.

 

In the meantime, Logan is still the #1 movie of 2017 at $11.4M, Lego Batman at $8.2M, Kong $7.7M, Split $7.6M as of Thursday.

Better start than in Brazil, nice!

[Purple Minion]

Deadline reports a $11.6M OW for BatB, highest March opening ever (BvS did 214M lc); it may even challenge Avengers and sneak into the Top 5. Would it include Monday bank holiday? If not then we're going for a ride, boys and girls! 2 years ago, it'd made $14.2M and 5 years ago, $17M.

 

These are all 3-day OW > 200M lc:

 

Civil War	351,538,816
Avengers2	290,773,534
Minions	249,086,907
Fast7	232,914,025

[Purple Minion]

Deadline is now reporting an OW of $11.8M (up from $11.6M) for BatB; that number would put it on top of Avengers' OW and the #2 movie of the year in just 3 days.

 

But, of course, Canacine website is a mess today and hasn't been updated. Damn you Bank Holiday.

Yesterday, offshore markets were led by China with $4.7M to rep 11% of the weekend ($49.5M cume to date). Mexico — where the Benito Juarez birthday holiday fueled a massive 32% of the weekend — followed with $3.8M ($15.6M to date).

(Deadline)

 

How big is that for Mexico? If $11,8M were that big already that must be huge!

[Purple Minion]

It's huge, I dare to say one of the most lucrative Mondays ever - if not THE biggest!

Should be close to 300M lc up to Monday. Biggest opening for a movie rated "A", dethroning Minions; 5th biggest 4-day OW, and already in the all-time lc Top 60!

How high could it go? A 2x multiplier will zoom it to 600M lc ($31.5M).

 

Canacine site is still not updated s no official OW lc numbers published, but records will be broken.
