According to that it's sold over 3 million tickets in Mexico?

PS for Glass looking good for previews, they're getting a big boost since yesterday. Could outgross Split within its first week of release.

How badly is Broly looking to drop?

Went to see it last night in Imax. It was not 100% full but it was packed and apparently all the other screens had also good attendance.

I think the audience in general liked it (I really, really liked it) so it could have fair "wom" that will be useful to send it above 100M+

Fox keeping it at a large number of screens but honestly see them going to Glass or even Aquaman. It's obviously falling over 70%; F dropped 75% and BoG 82%.

Mere curiosity factor could take it to $100M+. One of a great 2019 start, we had no $100M+ openers for january and now we could have two frames in a row with those numbers.

[Carlangonz]

• Glass going to top the chart for the weekend with estimated $80M-$85M opening.
• Dragon Ball Super: Broly looking to a 80%+ drop from previous frame. Currently over $8.5M USD
• Aquaman poised to top Iron Man 3 tomorrow afternoon.

I just want to make sense of that because it opened to $6.1 million or is it $6.5 million and sold 2.3 million tickets.

 

But according to this

5 million people have see it by the 16th. Which doesn't seem right and if it was then the $8.5 million wouldn't seem right.

Nou, that page don't even have sources like Canacine and always do mere assumptions, which are often wrong. Admissions are close to 3M up to friday and gross close to $8.5M USD.

Where are you getting that figure from because I can't see it on Canacine.

[Purple Minion]

$4.5M OW for Glass, about 85M lc, 95% ahead of Split.

Aquaman up to an incredible $29.7M, very close to 600M lc!

And $9.5M total for Broly, 70-75% drop. We'll know actual tomorrow. 

[Carlangonz]

So Glass didn't open north $100M but it did finished a bit over the high-end range so it wasn't front-loaded at all, that's pretry good for the movie.

 

Internal multi for Broly was excellent too, performed better than I thought.

[scabab]

Well I asked last week if this could get to $10 million in Mexico and it sure seems like it? Any prediction now?

[Purple Minion]

Broly should reach $10M before next weekend.

[efialtes76]

Glass-79.4M/83.9M.

Dragon Ball-29.3M/188M

Aquaman-10.4M/596.9M
