Mexico Box Office | Garfield scratches great $8.4M 6-day OW; safe $2.5M start for The Fall Guy

[Purple Minion]

Ticket price will work on Endgame's favour. Just as perspective, Captain Marvel is #23 on the admissions chart (11,200,000 tickets) but #14 in gross (628,900,000 lc) with an average ticket price of 56 lc.  In comparison, Batman vs Superman sold 13,230,713 tickets to gross about the same, ticket price 47 lc.

So AV: EG's Floor is 462M (OW) and 1.14 Billion (Total) as that's what AV:IW did. This will of course explode on OW considering the level of pre-sales that have already been sold out (I'm going with 570M) but will it have a good multiplier as IW? If it's a good movie and has real emotional impact with the (expected) deaths of several characters it can certainly hold but with all the competition (Pikachu, the Blue Genie, King Ghidorah¡) it will be complicated to achieve the same multiplier.

 

So IW did 2.46, if we go with that one and 570M*2.46 = 1.410 B but I don't think will have that legs. So... Predicted total: 1.25B (64M USD considering the rate). Of course I hope I'm wrong and this does at least 1.5Billion but want to be relastic¡ Hehehe

 

So Shazam did well. At least 100M LC. Two weeks in a row with a 100M+ Opener. No Manches Frida 2 will most certainly do more than 60M (although it does not look that funny) but just based in the brand recognition.

 

And The Curse of La Llorona will most certainly broke 140M (the marketing has been good and this is Mexican folklore so that should be the floor). April will be a great month.

Videocine want to take advantage of Easter holidays. They target a -25 demo so it works.

[Wotad]

Yeah with all that competition i think harms Endgames legs pretty much everywhere.

6/11 highest grossing locations in the country have booked 4:00-5:00 AM shows for opening day. Two of them are basically running around the clock the entire first day: Universidad (CDMX) and Paseo Acoxpa (CDMX). A few other theatres across Mexico City are also running around the clock. Tracking tomorrow.

650m lc OW.....

[Purple Minion]

This is a 1:30 am show in one of the mid-size markets. Unbelievable, there's going to be a lot of sleepy people next morning!

600M+ lc OW should happen.

They probably have tickets for the 5 am shows as well, don't think they will sleep at all

I'm actually surprised. Neither Buenavista, Perisur or Universidad held shows beyond midnight for Infinity War and the only time I saw them holding 3:00 AM shows was for The Force Awakens (only Universidad and Perisur). It's really crazy when you look at IMAX Universidad and see the 4:00 AM about 30% full and then the 8:00 AM show over 60% sold. 

 

I can see all those guys of UNAM attending the 4:00 AM shows at Oasis and Perisur and then going straight to classes 😂

Edit: 4 movies opened on Thu:

 

* No Manches Frida 2:  Solid 10.6M lc. Aiming for a 100M 4-day OW.

* Hellboy: Awful 1.8M lc. Upcoming flop?

* Wonder Park: 1.4M lc. Nothing to see here.

 

* Forgot one! After's OD was 3.4M lc, not bad for this type of movies.

[Purple Minion]

Shazam! weekdays very languid, $2M. Dumbo still strong, crossed 300M lc and Captain Marvel passed BvS, #13 in the all-time chart. Don't think it can go higher:

 

12    676,807,407    The Fate of the Furious (2017)

13    632,400,000    Captain Marvel (2019)
14    630,763,242    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

$85M-$95M 4-Day OW. Another hit for local movies with Easter week around the corner to push it past $200M lc. 

[Purple Minion]

Totals up to Sunday, as per Box Office Report:

• Dumbo $17.6M.  Splendid.
• Captain Marvel: $33.0M
• Shazam!: $10.1M

Still no numbers for the new openers, but don't expect much from Hellboy.

That drop! Can't wait for Aladdin and Lion King, great signs so far!

Shazam!: $10.1M

We'll see if holidays help to pass $300M. At least now it seems assured to pass both Ant-Man installments.

 

Frida is looking to $97M-$102M for the 4-Day. Best 4-Day local opener and second best 3-Day result only below Instructions Not Included.

[Purple Minion]

From Screendaily: Wonder Park opened to a very low (for an animated movie) $1.1M.

In other totals, Pet Sematary did $821K for $3.6M, and Five Feet Apart reached $2.6M.

 

Will Lionsgate release Hellboy international numbers?

[Purple Minion]

Brilliant for Frida 2! Deadline is estimating $5.3M. And as suspected, no Hellboy intl market breakdown/info. Ouch.
