Summer is just getting started and is already madness. Next four months are going to be for the books! 

 

$600M+. Toy Story 4*

$500M+. The Lion King*, Spider-Man: Far From Home

$400M+. Aladdin*, Hobbs and Shaw, The Secret Life of Pets 2

$300M+. Detective Pikachu*, Annabelle Comes Home 

 

* Could go $100M+ higher.

 

Edit. Isn't pretty crazy that potential #2 (TS4) could be just half of #1 (Endgame)?

I'm new here and don't quite understand Mexico's lc. Will EG beat IW in USD?

It'll beat IW in lc, USD and admissions

 

For practical purposes just use $20 MXN = $1 USD

By June 31st, Disney's numbers of 2019 are going to be the 2nd best yearly results ever for a studio in the country surpassing Universal's 2015 and 2016 and only behind Disney's own record on 2018.

 

Although if Aladdin and Toy Story 4 come above expectations (which is entirely possible looking at social media activity by the former and historic results by the latter) and Endgame keeps overperforming then it definitely could take the all-time crown by that date. 

 

In other front, this is going to be the third year in a row we have a $50M+ grosser and the sixth in the decade. All of them have been Disney releases:

 

2010: Toy Story 3 ($63M)

2012: Marvel's The Avengers ($61M)

2015: Avengers: Age of Ultron ($55M)

2017: Coco ($59M)

2018: Avengers: Infinity War ($60M)

2019: Avengers: Endgame ($70M+)

If Dumbo was able to reach 400M lc, I think Aladdin and Lion King will exceed expectations, and Toy Story 4 could join the 800M lc club.

May Russo Bros bless @redgarlic who's attending a 3:50 AM show. At least is in the best IMAX of the city. 

It was totally worth it! The concessions were full at 3.30, tons of teenagers and young adults were taking group selfies and there parents with young kids (even one wearing Marvel pajamas). It took me like ten minutes to enter, and there were still people coming in at the beginning of the movie. The reactions were a bit subdued in my opinion, with the exception of appropriate laughs and several cheers (and a really huge one). I loved the movie, hearing the post movie conversations I'm sure it will make 💵💶💴💷.

Sorry for posting this until now, I had it ready since Friday but couldn't post it then for some reason. I hope this makes Disney give Mexico more importance, I'm still waiting for something as big as the far from home trailer in Brazil...

And of course

What do you think is more phenomenal in Mexico? EG or Coco?

[Purple Minion]

International totals through Monday for Avengers: Endgame include Mexico $35.8M

 

 

 

What does that mean for Monday gross? Is this over-estimated again?

 

UPDATE: It wasn't, it did $3.9M. Ayayay.

Frida 2 is now 3rd highest grossing local movie.

I still think that endgame has more of a generational impact, it's doubtful that people older than 60 will be talking about this one as Coco. Nevertheless on those younger than 40 (50?) there isn't one soul that hasn't seen it (or has plans to see it if they haven't been able to so far). Since people in that age range are more liable to going to the movies/rewatching this will rack all the dough.

Actually if Toy Story 4 sells the same number of admissions Toy Story 3 did then we would have an $860M+ gross and a comfortable #4 all-time only behind Endgame, Infinity War and Coco. 

 

And yes, I was surprised by Dumbo because it seemed to lose steam the couple weeks before release. The lack of a big family release is only benefiting both Aladdin & Jazmin and Woddy & Buzz.

I think Disney has always limited themselves as for that kind of things. Although I can understand Sony for giving them Venom and Far From Home footage since they're still big market and had an huge event going on and while there are this type of events here (Mole, Conque) they aren't really that big and don't have the organization to accomplish a massive event like Sao Paolo Comic-Con. 

 

And it's funny because Warner's guys are completely different and even spoil the country; they had that Batman v Superman premiere on Auditorio Nacional, an special fan event for Suicide Squad, recently the Shazam! fan-event and junket on Six Flags at Mexico City and for Justice League they were going to come back to hold another premiere like the BvS one but those plans... didn't went right. Which is even more curious is that Brazil always outperforms Mexico when comes to DC and yet they always come here.

[Purple Minion]

I think Warner DC makes a lot of money in Mexico out of merchandise, comics/video-games and ancillary revenue. It's the #1 market in Latin America in that respect. But it'll be nice for Marvel to do something local with their next tentpole...

...besides mentioning "federales" chasing drug lords in the country if you know what I mean
