Shazam 2 OW: $4M, 32% below the first movie. 2nd highest overseas, just 400K behind China. Not a total disaster, but still...

 

Some totals: Creed III $7.3M, Quantumania $17.8M.

I feel Shazam could get better legs than Quantumania but will lose several screens to competition next couple of weeks and is going to be wiped out by the time Mario arrives. Still may finish with half admissions of what first one grossed. 

 

Creed III is great and should go past $170M. Above Creed II in both lc and admissions. 

 

Swordsmith Village should've crossed Mugen Train's total in lc and admissions. Tomorrow we'll see how close it came to reach Resurrection of F.

Shazam! Fury Of Gods (MEX$76.7M/1.1M admits). Shazam (2019) did MEX$111M OW ~ finalised at MEX$300M | Cocaine Bear MEX$8.2M | 13 Exorcismos MEX$6.9M

1. Shazam: Fury of Gods - $76.7M

2. Scream VI - $18.1M/$67.3M

3. Creed III - $16.8M/$134.3M

4. The Whale - $12.1M/$161.2M

9. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania - $3.9M/$326.9M

10. Puss in Boots: The Last Wish - $2.3M/$511.3M

 

I'm wondering if 

Super Mario Bros OD > Fury of Gods OW

Super Mario Bros OW > Quantumania full run

 

Scream VI is now the second highest grosser of the franchise in both lc and admissions and should become No. 1 before Monday is over. 

 

Creed III has now beat its predecessor in lc and should make it soon in admissions as well. 

 

The Whale couldn't increase due to lack of shows but it was able to remain flat and surpass $150M. It has pulled an amazing 8x multi. In lc has beat Mummy and Mummy Returns; which even considering inflation is pretty impressive as unadjusted they will be quite close. 

 

In the Swordsmith Village is only $5M away from beating Resurrection of F. If Demon Slayer keeps growing then I think the final release before the saga ends is going to blow past Broly's $212M record.

To the Swordsmith Village becomes the first non-DB japanese release to collect over 1M admissions at the BO. Forth time for an Asian release after the latest three Dragon Ball installments and Parasite.

BEST PICTURE WINNERS SINCE 1997.

 

Surprising to see 12YAS and Slumdog Millionaire ranking this high. Figures include re-releases for both Titanic and Return of the King. Admissions-wise Titanic remains No. 1 with over 13M admissions and Nomadland is also the lowest one with just 54K admissions.

Off to a great start for John Wick 4. Should pull an stellar PSA after adding premium screens incl IMAX unlike Parabellum which only had regular formats and a B-15 rating compared to hard-restrictive C for Parabellum. It does seem like it could challenge Fury of Gods' opening.

After a controversial release strategy local relase '¡Que Viva México!' from director Luis Estrada is arriving at 3,000 screens and an all-stellar cast. His last feature La Dictadura Perfecta grossed $189M back in 2014 although I don't think this time could pull it off. I'm betting on high 20s, low 30s.

 

Super Mario Bros remains strong on presales with still two weeks left before release. I still think it could become No. 1 of the year within its first 5 days. In advanced sales I'm seeing it below Toy Story 4 and way bigger than Rise of Gru; if walk-ups are just as great as any of them then we're in for a ride.

Deadline reports $240K in paid Wed previous for JW4.

Ahead of Parabellum's previews by 50%. I'm thinking $70M-$80M for the whole weekend but could go upwards. 

[Carlangonz]

Baba Yaga taking screens over from local opener and holdovers so it points out to crazy Sat and Sun. I'm holding onto mid 70s but premiums selling out could push it past $80M

[Issac Newton]

Creed III $8.1M | Shazam! $7.7M | Scream VI $4.5M 

[Purple Minion]

#1 OS market for Shazam 2, overtaking China by almost $2M. Jeepers.

Amazing for it. Nearly double the opening figures of Parabellum. Even removing the extra day that Baba Yaga had is still 70% ahead.

 

Seems like $77M and yeah, I don't think actuals will be much off from that by looking at early Sunday
