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

[Hernan Gonzalez]

$40m???? It's absolutely huge

$50m is a sure thing now, $55m is reachable o_o

$61.7m is the All Time record made by The Avengers. Will it fall?

No, The Avengers 2 will kill its legs, that seems unlikely. But it won't be very far that's for sure.

I hope F7 dethrones TA's number one spot in admissions!

It would be useless given TA2 will pass it right after anyway.

FF7 actuals

 

Admissions 2,267,770 (tot 11,288,750)

Gross 8,05M$ (-62%) (tot 38,2M$)

The U.S. dollar is up 41 percent against the Brazilian real, 34 percent against the Colombian peso and 15 percent against the Mexican peso since June 30.

 

Mexico will be the less affected by currency swings so there is an opportunity to beat Avengers there ($62m)

I find it amusing how everyone says that Avengers will kill the legs in every market.  That's not how films work.  Sure, when a giant blockbuster comes out, it hurts the film in the first week.  But then it recovers the week after.

+1 And AOU probably being more front-loaded than its predecessor means FF7 might recover more than expected.

This one is a really gigantic blockbuster, not just your usual blockbuster, that's why it will be different, meaning FF7 will lose a huge amount of screens.

I am sorry to say this but it won't recover. Take in account that Mexico is a very front loaded market. It doesn't usually behave as other Latin American markets. The good thing for FF7 is that AoU opens on the 30th here, a week later than in some other LA markets. AoU will benefit from labor day weekend. Its OW will be huge!!!

Oh no, I didn't see that, no AoU in Mexico next week? We'll have to rely on the UK, Brazil nd SK I guess

Qué onda,

 

New to this forum, just discovered today. Follow the international box office (an the Mexican one in particular) for a long time, and was raging when Mojo stopped posting the Top 10 so delighted the info is posted here, thanks to all. Still trying to get familiar with the movie acronyms

 

Impressive numbers for F7, can't wait for AoU ones.

 

Is there any info about how big the Mexican market was on 2014?

2014 was almost on par in admissions with 2013 (around 253m) 

 

These are the Top Ten movies in Mexico in 2014: 

 

  1- Maleficent, 12.1m admissions

  2- Rio 2, 9.1m admissions

  3- Transformers, Age of Extinction, 8.5m adm

  4- The Amazing Spiderman 2, 7.4m adm

  5- Captain America: The Winter Soldier, 7.1m adm

  6- Mockingjay Part 1, 6.3m adm

  7- X-Men: Days of Future Past, 6.17m

  8- The Rise of the Planet of the Apes, 6.13m adm

  9- Annabelle, 6m adm

10- How To Train Your Dragon 2 and Guardians of the Galaxy, 5.4m adm

 

Mexicans go to the movies so much often than the rest of latin americans. On average a mexican person went 2 times to the movies last year while a person living in other latin american country did it only 1 time. 

 

 

  Top Ten 2014 – Mexico               Admissions Gross Average Ticket 1 Maleficent 12.1 m $46.2 m $3.82 2 Rio 2 9.1 m $30.9 m $3.40 3 Transformers: Age of Extinction 8.5 m $33.5 m $3.94 4 The Amazing Spider-Man 2 7.4 m $28.5 m $3.85 5 Captain America: The Winter Soldier 7.1 m $25.7 m $3.62 6 Mockingjay: Part 1 6.3 m $23.1 m $3.67 7 X-Men: Days of Future Past 6.2 m $24.6 m $3.96 8 Dawn of the Planet of the Apes 6.1 m $24.6 m $4.03 9 Annabelle 6.0 m $18.9 m $3.15 10 How to Train Your Dragon 2 5.4 m $19.9 m $3.69 10 Guardians of the Galaxy 5.4 m $19.7 m $3.64       Average Ticket Price 2014 $3.71

 

In 2014 around 253m tickets were sold so the global mexican box office last year was around $939.4m. In 2013 it was $934m

The issue is that AOU does not face a 1 billion overseas film overseas.
