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

[Purple Minion]

$11.5M total for AMATW. Surely it can reach 300M lc? Would it? 🤔

 

I2 reaches $36M, welcome to the 700M lc club! Fantastic performance.

 

Poor $3.7M OW for Skyscraper. Still, a bigger gross than Solo...

Great result for HT3, thanks to holidays it'll comfortably should pass $400M, another success for the franchise.

 

AMATW is about $220M lc, although if the estimate is spot on then that's a 66% drop (ouch!), it'll be relieved for two weeks before MI:F limits its screens but $300M are not looking good.

 

Those internal multipliers for I2 and Skyscraper are better than i expected. If true, then tomorrow morning I2 should've been passed both Minions and CW. Skyscraper is pretty meh, below San Andreas and Rampage and on par with Hercules.

 

I remember when i thought Solo would gross less than TFA's 4-Day OW and ended up grossing less than RO's 4-Day OW, that's just sad...

HT2 did 400.16M lc back in 2015. I am going to bet 1 taco al pastor (with or without pineapple) that it passes 500M lc!

My god, it’s genius. 

[Purple Minion]

By the way, the dinos reached $32.2M. Getting closer to JW in lc.

That's a risky bet, no competition and a whole month of holidays so i say is entirely doable, although is almost certain that it'll finish closer to $500M than $400M 

 

And btw... it obviously has to be with pineapple 

[Purple Minion]

I2 passes Minions, the Top 3 animations are now all Pixar! Should pass Civil War by Friday to sit at #7 in the all-time list.

JULY 12-15 WEEKEND. HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA 3 TOPS ITS PREDECESSOR TO BECOME SONY'S SECOND BIGGEST OPENING; SKYSCRAPER BEHIND PREVIOUS DWAYNE JOHNSON'S TITLES.

 

Hotel Transylvania 3

- 3% ahead of HT2, thanks to the 4th day tomorrow should pass first HT total.

- Given the current scenario where there's no family movie until August 2th (Christopher Robin) it should top the previous entry of the franchise with $430M+ but that's quite conservative and could go as far as $500M+

 

Skyscraper

- 32% behind Rampage, actually, it's closer to Rampage's second frame ($55M) than of its opening.

- Unlike HT3 this one does have strong competition; it'll lose screens next weekend to The First Purge and then Mission Impossible: Fallout is taking it both screens and audience.

 

Ant-Man and the Wasp

- Third worst drop in the MCU only below Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 and Age of Ultron and puts in risk the $300M+ milestone, if keeps this way is looking to finish with $270M-$280M, quite a disappointing increase from the first one considering other MCU's second parts grew over 30% - except Iron Man 2 which only increased 18%- and this one only would grow 10%-14%

 

Incredibles 2

- Now, the title has officially passed Minions and with this now is the third biggest animation ever only behind Coco and Toy Story 3, all Top 3 is Pixar. By tomorrow it should pass Civil War as 6th highest Disney property grosser and 7th highest grosser of all-time.

Don't worry. Should pass the mark next weekend 

Edited July 21, 2018 by Carlangonz

[Purple Minion]

The First Purge had a $4.1M OW, decent enough.

 

Totals as per @BORReport:

• Skyscraper $7.5M (meh)
• AMATW $13.5M (meh)
• I2 $36.8M (magnificent)

 

And from Screendaily:

• HT3: Mexico led the way on $3.8M for $16.7M total. So it crossed 300M lc.

I would say that's just insane for First Purge, just a huge overperformance. Big shot to consolidate this time as the biggest market for the film.

 

As you say: 'meh' for both AMATW and Skyscraper. I have to admit I'm surprised by that AMATW's hold -on the 50s- tho; theatres near me have downgraded it to the same amount of shows of FK and I2.

 

The path to $450M+ for HT3 looks pretty damn well.

[Carlangonz]

JULY 19-22 WEEKEND. HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA 3 ON WAY TO BECOME SONY’S SECOND BIGGEST TITLE EVER; THE FIRST PURGE OVERPERFORMS BIG ON OPENING.

 

Hotel Transylvania 3

-27.68% ahead of Hotel Transylvania 2; keeping the current pace puts it with a $510M+ end which translates as the biggest hit ever for Sony in the country passing last year’s Spider-Man: Homecoming by nearly $20M lc.

- Its chances to cross $500M aren’t small (great call @Purple Minion), we’ll see how it goes

 

The Last Purge

-Huge opening, the best for the franchise beating Election Year by a whopping 134.9%, $100M are an easy target, expect something between $150M-$170M total, the previous one had terrific legs but I’m expecting this one to be more front-loaded after this opening.

 

Skyscraper

-Running 22% behind Rampage and 42% ahead of Hercules at the same point of release, using both comps the end for the title seems to be $180M, it should finish between that number and $170M

 

Ant-Man and the Wasp

-Already passed the first’s total and runs 23% ahead at the same cycle, final figure is now between $280M-$290M

 

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom

-Great holds for both weekend and weekdays, is coming closer and closer to end with the same gross than the first JW, rare and incredible level of retention from one to another title.

With my luck, HT3 will finish it's run at 495M lc 😂

 

Coco is the only original movie in the Top 10 lc.

[Purple Minion]

MI:RN opened to $4M (highest of the franchise) for a $12M total, second highest to MI:GP's $13M which had a mental multiplier. Fallout should pass those totals even with a worse ER, right?

[Purple Minion]

Well here's my answer, from Deadline:

 

MI:F opened at #1 in Mexico with $1M for $1.8M including previews. Was expecting a bit higher.

Edited July 28, 2018 by Purple Minion

[Purple Minion]

Weekend estimates as per Deadline:

• MI:F was No. 1 with $4.8M at 815 cinemas and the biggest franchise start at 176% above Ghost Protocol and 12% above Rogue Nation.
• HT3: Mexico continues to lead all hubs with $21.3M to date after the 3rd frame. So it's in the 400M lc vicinity.
• I2 total: $37.1M. Very close to passing the 750M lc threshold.
• AMATW total: $14.5M. Bye bye 300M lc.

Solid result. Should land at $210M+ in the end, on par with Mummy unfortunately.

Just passed HT2 total, still 30% ahead of it so $500M are more and more doable.

Fallen Kingdom is *this* close to pass JW!!!!!
