The 3D percentage for DS2 was way lower than other markets in the region, so guess it'd be a similar scenario for AV2 (I take it will be released in that format). Does it carry enough nostalgia element to give the extra boost and reach 1B lc?

3D was low because people have been rejecting it for at least 5 years now so theatres don't even bother to book more than one show a day per theatre and only on opening week. Avatar 2 is going to be a whole different story because people know that one is actual 3D; the question mark here is to see how much infaestructure theatres still hold to maximize 3D. I don't know if nostalgia but curiosity factor even will boost it at least during holidays.

$1.7M Wed + Thu for the sorcerer, total is $25.5M (over half a billion lc). I say 600M lc minimum by Sunday.

Yeah, it seemed o/u Joker after OW ($855M) but it seems like it could miss Avengers ($827M). Legs not looking good.

[Purple Minion]

$31.1M total estimate for DS2, about 630M lc. Over FFH and very close to Captain Marvel in the MCU universe.

 

Depending on actuals, it could pass The Batman as #1 movie of the year and sneak into the Top 20 all time (lc).

 

Sonic 2 crossed $20M.

According to Deadline, DS2 is the No. 2 release of the pandemic in Mexico  which means > The Batman. Let's see if the numbers hold.

[Shanks]

Weekend: [12th - 15th May]

1. Doctor Strange 2: MoM -  $125.5m // $626.7m
2. Memory - $14.7m [OW]
3. Sonic 2 - $11.9m //  $410.7m 
4. The Lost City - $5.5m // $95.1m
5. Fantastic Beast 3: SoD  - $4.5m //  $284.3m
6. Firestarter - $4m [OW]

7. La Nave - $3.4m [OW]

8. The Northman - $1.9m //  $59.5m
9. LaAbuela - $1.3m //  $12.3m
10. The Bad Guys - $1m  // $108.8m

[Purple Minion]

Ah, Disney fibs, they are really over-calculating their weekends...

 

 

626M lc is still a great cume for DS2, although them legs are more egret than ostrich.

[Purple Minion]

DS2 up to $32.3M Tue. The ER is like a yo-yo but let's say 645M lc, becoming the #1 movie of the year.

[Purple Minion]

$35.7M total for Strange and friends/foes, becomes the 15th movie to pass 700M lc (sandwiched between Minions and Fallen Kingdom) and within striking distance of Civil War to become the 2nd highest grossing "solo" MCU movie.

 

Sonic 2 still collecting coins, $21.2M total, 425M lc give or take.

Strange topped $720.2M. Sonic 2 runs at $425M. Dog underperforms with $10.2M. Twenty-One Pilots: Cinema Experience pulls the best PSA of the weekend with $4.2M after shows on selected locations during thursday and sunday. Jurassic Park 3D re-issue scores the second best PSA of the weekend with $2.5M. Lost City crossed $100M; pretty big for a foreign comedy. 

Paramount didn't report Maverick's Sat and Sun shows so they'll roll them next week. Prepare to see out first 7-Day OW ever 🙄. Probably around $50M-$60M

[Purple Minion]

DS2 may end up in the Top 5 of MCU's gross (lc), but different story in admissions...

 

Rank	All Time	Movie	Audience
1	2	Avengers Endgame	24,861,959

Still thinking Maverick will perform on line with Dune or Matrix when it comes to the 4-Day. Perhaps average $10M per day considering past Sat and Sun and Wed shows.

 

One week to go for Dominion. Is selling well so far but walk-ups and legs are extremely important for this one; won't be a match for Multiverse of Madness' opening but it will for The Batman's. Thinking o/u $300M.

No news on Lightyear ticket sales so likely it won't hold previews. One of the few situations where not holding presales feels like a waste.

[Purple Minion]

Really rooting for a billion lc movie this year, my pick was Lightyear but yeah, some strange decisions are being taken

[Purple Minion]

Top Gun: Maverick $2.1M up to Thursday, including last week's previews. Not bad. Didn't know Tom was in Mexico City as part of the promo campaign.

[Purple Minion]

Maverick now up to $2.8M. Not a stellar Friday by any means, but enough to cross $5M and 100M lc by Sunday, I reckon.

[Purple Minion]

Well it didn't, even with the best ER in months  $4.6M with previews, 90M lc. Will it make it to 200M lc?

 

Doctor Strange 2 up to $38.5M, 775M lc, within striking distance of Ultron.

Maverick ended up grossing 93.1M lc ($4.7M), including 26.3M lc ($1.3M) from past days' previews.

 

Movers and shakers in the all time lc chart.

 

08    827,207,828    The Avengers (2012)
09    784,083,100    Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015)

12    776,400,000    Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)

 

Ultron is toast, can it reach The Avengers with the dinosaurs around the corner?

 

54    435,599,543    Transformers; Age of Extrinction (2014)

55    434,000,000    Sonic The Hedgehog 2 (2022)
56    428,366,014    The Jungle Book (2016)

 

The surprise of the year, so far. There is a huge appetite  for kids movies, which bodes well for Minions and Lightyear.

Superb final hours of sales for Dominion. Seems like it'll beat The Batman's $2M OD. It shall approach $3M off to a $15M+ start across 5 days. 

Lightyear shows finally starting to pop-up but sales shall begin later this week. No previews so a pure 4-Day opening on the 16th

Awaiting for Dominion's OD details, it has about half of today's shows including all premiums; Maverick lost a lot and it's even with DS2 in smaller markets.

What would be a good OD for Dominion?

$2M would be good, $2.5M really good, $3M spectacular.

[Purple Minion]

And it reached three! From Deadline:

 

Jurassic World Dominion stormed into Mexico on Wednesday with $3M worth of previews. That’s the market’s 3rd biggest opening since the beginning of the pandemic and the best opening preview performance in the rebooted franchise, overtaking 2018’s Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom by 53% and 2015’s Jurassic World by 81%. Both of the earlier films had sneaks on a holiday. Dominion took 88% market share in Mexico on Wednesday and ranked No. 1 in all theaters. It also had the 3rd best opening for UPI behind Fate Of The Furious and Furious 7.
