But, did it surpass Shrek 2 or Shrek Forever After' OW?  

Definitely in lc, but not sure in USD. Will have to check the archives.

FEBRUARY 01-03 WEEKEND. HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON 3 FLIES TO A SUPERB OPENING; HIGHEST FOR THE FRANCHISE. MIRREYES CONTRA GODINEZ HOLDS WELL AND GLASS AIMS $200M LC. FAVOURITE, VICE AND KLANSMAN BENEFIT FROM OSCAR NOMINATIONS.

 

How To Train Your Dragon 3

- 32.4% above How To Train Your Dragon 2 and 4.1% ahead of Shrek Forever After. Highest for the franchise, studio and for an animation released in February.

- It’s free of competition the next 10 days so $350M+ are depending on how it can hold to Alita and Lego, is the stronger of all though.

 

Mirreyes Contra Godínez

- 32.9% ahead of last year’s Boda de Valentina and 4.7% above 2017’s Hazlo como Hombre. $200M still looking good.

 

Glass

- $200M is going to be a photo finish. It did result more front-loaded than expected. A hit anyway from wherever you see it.

3.6M Netflix subscribers in Mexico have watched Roma. At current ticket prices, it'd be around $10M.

Not a bad number actually. Wonder how close or far would've been if it was properly released. 

[Carlangonz]

HTTYD3 looking at a major drop, nevertheless it had stellar weekdays and it has topped Broly as the highest release of the year and we could be looking at five weekends in a row with No. 1 topping $50M+ lc. 

 

Mirreyes vs Godínez maintains as the runner-up in the weekend chart.

 

Green Book aims to be the fourth BP nominee of this year to gross over $1M USD. #4 this weekend.

 

As Captain Marvel presales starts in countries like the UK and Brazil we can assume they're close in here too. Disney is probably expecting another week to put tickets on sale, would be good if they follow Glass and Aquaman's strategy to hold previews instead of midnights. 

[Purple Minion]

Huge $14.9M total (about 285M lc) for HTTYD3. Specially for a February release!

Roma just won 4 BAFTAs, including best picture. Cinépolis should relinquish and show it now.

Mirreyes vs. Godinez had one of the smallest drops I can remember for a local movie.

Dragons 3 drop seem fine, had stronger weekdays than the second. 

 

Alita did 11M lc in previews. That is good, bad?...

FEBRUARY 08-10 WEEKEND. HIPO & CHIMUELO REPEAT AT NO. 1 FOR THE WEEKEND; LOOKING FOR A PLACE AMONG TOP 3 DREAMWORK TITLES. MIRREYES CONTRA GODINEZ NOW IS POISED TO BE ONE OF THE FIVE HIGHEST LOCAL RELEASES EVER. ALITA HOLD PREVIEWS BEFORE RELEASE.

 

How To Train Your Dragon 3

- Better than expected hold; now is 16% ahead of Shrek: Forever After at the same point of release but what makes it more spectacular is that Shrek held a summer run during holidays and this one is happening in February.

- Let’s wait and see how it is affected by the Lego Movie sequel this weekend but now is a lock to join Shrek: Forever After and The Boss Baby as one of the three highest releases ever for Dreamworks.

 

Mirreyes Contra Godínez

- Already outgrossed any of 2018’s local titles and by Thursday afternoon it should’ve been taken over the fifth spot as highest local release ever surpassing Hazlo Como Hombre. It could also top 2016’s No Manches Frida.

 

Alita: Battle Angel

- Held 3D previews during Sunday, is not a bad result but isn’t great either since it had the 3D boost. We’ll see how it handles its opening and if it’s capable to do over $40M.

At this point don't know if would work, a lot of people have already seen it through Netflix and in the main cities those who wanted to see it in theatres already had over 2 months.

January posted a new historical record flying near to $1.1B lc ($57M USD) beating last year's by 10%. The month was benefited from wonderful performances by Dragon Ball Super: Broly (first and only January release to open north $100M), Glass and Creed II as for legs of December titles like Aquaman, Into the Spiderverse, Bumblebee and Perfectos Desconocidos. Also, not less important small hits like A Dog's Way Home and late openers like Mirreyes contra Godínez.

 

February comes loaded as we've already seen with How To Train Your Dragon 3 and next weekend we have three wide releases that are looking to add at least $70M each one. We don't if february could repeat the feat of january and beat last year's same month since 2018 came with the record breaking Black Panther and local hit Boda de Valentina.

Looks like Alita  will flop badly in Mexico. Barely beat green book in previews and got trounced by escape room.

It should've been opened past friday. Having it along with other two wide releases was never a good idea. Although is opening in a bigger % share of 3D than usual, we'll see if that can help.

Netflix is opening a production office in Mexico to create 50 local projects, including movies. This will impact the domestic market, hope they reach an agreement with movie theatre chains.

¡Viva! CANACINE is resuming the publication of weekly box office on their page. So totals up to Thursday:

• HTTYD3 up to 301.4M lc.
• Alita struggling with 25.5M lc.
• La boda de mi mejor amigo has a good Thu OD of 12.8M lc, while Lego Movie 2 could only do 3.8M lc. Ouch.
• And Glass and Mirreyes vs. Godinez crossed the 200M lc barrier.

I was surprised when I found out how big the event was going to be. Their local TV content is massive with material like Club de Cuervos (created and produced by Gaz Alazraki; director of the second highest local grosser ever) and La Casa de las Flores (produced by Manolo Caro; director of past Christmas' hit Perfectos Desconocidos). They must have a lot of confidence and faith in the country to announce such packed slate of original content.

 

By the way... Roma made it this weekend to a handful of Cinemex locations. Hopefully a considerable step in the relationship.

Great for both Alita and Boda de Mi Mejor Amigo. Both looking at $70M+ for the 4-Day.

 

Awful for the Lego Movie sequel, just awful. 

 

Speaking of local remakes of beloved rom-coms of the US... 50 First Dates coming later this year. This and Best Friend's Wedding are the first of a long-term plan that looks to do the same for other titles not just here but in all of Latam. @salvador-232 @PanaMovie
