mexico Mexico Box Office | Inside Out 2 close to $72M; will Day One create much noise?

Digging some more I found everytime a Despicable Me title -besides the first one- has faced a Pixar one; the Pixar one takes a huge hit: both Inside Out and Cars 3 dropped 75% and Monster's University did a bit better with a 69% slip.

 

It'd be interesting to see how the ATP of DM4 compares to IO2, will Disney reduce Joy's ticket price to boost audience?

May be too early for it, they have to hold as many screens as possible. However in all cases the upper hand was on Universal's side, this is the first time is on Disney's.

$1.7M Wednesday for IO2, total crossed $70M or about 1.285M lc.

A bummer it decreased. Hopefully it does top $90M after this weekend.

 

ATP should start adjusting too as it loses premium screens.

$225M+ 3rd weekend (TFSS) I guess. $1510M+ by SUN. 

Seems good for $1850M+ final. Realistically $1900M+ possible.

Do you reckon the Copa América match had an impact?

Not really. I think just underestimated the spillover effect from Sunday on Monday.

Deadpool & Wolverine tickets go on sale on July 3rd. 3-week window so my only comp would perfectly be Barbie.

July 4th. Opens on the 25th with Wednesday night previews on the 24th. Not sure what could be a good comp for previews, only Fast X may be.

Hadn't noticed but Twisters is coming up on the 11th; a week earlier than US. Not expecting particularly great numbers but will still take a lot of screens

IO2 made $1.6M on Thursday, reasonable drop. Total is now $71.7M, around 1.315B lc.

[Carlangonz]

That would be a terrific 42% drop from past Thursday. Great omen for the whole weekend!

[Purple Minion]

Hmmm. Deadline is reporting the total as $71.1M. I got the $71.9 figure from Gitesh. Who's right?

Is apparently on Deadline's side. Business went quite depressed because there were electrical storms across the country for the entire afternoon/night which are likely to go on for another week.

Day One is looking at around $60M.

Bit of a timid increase compared to comps but still within their range. This doesn't have the same effect on adults as Disney/Pixar titles so perhaps won't ramp up until the final two days.

Let's see on Monday if the weekend gives it any boost.
