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

[Purple Minion]

Mamma mia, that'd be a 105M lc OD for Mario. Already the #7 movie of the year after just one day!

At some point during Thursday John Wick 4 is going to surpass Shazam on its way to blow past $200M this weekend. Admissions are already 10% above Parabellum's final.

 

Great opening for Pope's Exorcist. May open at #2 with something in the high 30s-low 40s.

 

Air is flopping. Terrible date for it having John Wick and Pope's Exorcist already doing counter-programming for adults.

Mario Bros - 107.2M LC (Wed) [Some Also reported 106.4m LC. But Updated one is 107.2m~]

I am hearing $10M total for Mario up to Thu. If true, a 450M lc OW cannot be discarded.

Welp I don't know what to make of it. $500M doesn't seem so out of reach. 

 

$100.6M/$5.5M Thursday

Two consecutive, non-FSS 100M lc days in a row! Madness.

[Purple Minion]

Deadline: Leading play so far for SMB is Mexico with $11.4M, higher than the full opening weekend of any April animation, while also topping the full openings of Frozen 2, Aladdin and Finding Dory.

Congratulations to Universal on their very first $1B grosser ever and their first yearly crown in almost 20 years after getting it for the last time in 2004 with... Shrek 2. 

 

Back in 2019 and 2021 the highest grossing MCU beat the highest grossing Universal on its OW alone. This time may be Super Mario Bros 5-Day OW > Any MCU title this year

[Carlangonz]

Yeah seems $500M/$27M is likelier than not

[Flamengo81]

This run just started and is already completely insane. Mexico is doing a great job at the box office since last year...

27.4M for Super Mario Bros

 

Holy crap at the performance!!!

[Purple Minion]

495-500M lc. Holy Bowser!

[Carlangonz]

Largest opening since No Way Home and biggest 5-Day, 4-Day and 3-Day for Universal/Illumination 

 

Universal is expecting a 3-Day bigger than the opening weekend of any animation sans Toy Story 4. Double of Rise of Gru's 5-Day.

 

[Carlangonz]

First Universal to cross $1B lc but also $60M and $70M USD.

[Issac Newton]

$2.5M ~ The Pope Exorcist 

[titanic2187]

The unusual high turnout in Hispanic or Latino for Mario at domestic box office sort of moving in tandem with Mexico's overperformance. Mario will easily beat Avatar 2 here.  

[Purple Minion]

Deadline: Plumbing down to international markets, Mexico is just insane. With $27.4M, Super Mario Brothers hit the 3rd-biggest opening weekend of all time; Universal’s best and an animated best.

It also achieved the animated title record in every single IMAX market across Latin America including Mexico.
