Thought Mean Girls had previews today (Wed) but it's rather a wide opening. Original Mean Girls wasn't much of a splash at the BO ($24M/0.7M admits) but it became a classic since then among younger audiences that today go from mid 20s to mid 30s.

Sales for this one are okay; pointing maybe towards a $20M+ opening but 2004's version is far to beloved for audiences to just show up by name-recognition. It needs a strong reception and WOM but numbers are still solid for a comedy.

2023 Market Snapshots (Deadline)

 

MEXICO

In a huge jump, Mexico spiked roughly 55% versus 2022, grossing an estimated $940M in 2023 and at an estimated -9% versus the three-year pre-pandemic average. The market is one of the rare ones to have maintained the habit of moviegoing. “It’s not just a family market; they love going to the movies – family, couples, everything,” notes a studio exec. Hollywood movies dominated, but Eugenio Derbez-starrer Radical was tops among local titles at over $12M.

How is Godzilla Minus One doing this weekend? It did very well last weekend! It’s a big reason why 100m worldwide is in sight! 

[Purple Minion]

Totals: Wonka $24.4M, Aquaman 2 $19.6M. Both exceeding expectations.

It's a very slow January but indeed great for an original + no big stars: Anyone But You; over Ticket to Paradise and quite close to Mean Girls. Wonka and Aquaman just rolling around before a big opener comes.

Award-season hopefuls are getting quite limited runs including Universal and Disney's backed titles Holdovers and Poor Things; not looking better for lower profile releases such as Anatomy of a Fall and Past Lives.

The only titles to expect a bump from nominations on Tuesday are Boy and the Heron and Godzilla: Minus One plus Oppenheimer which is looking to increase its IMAX record after it re-issues on Thursday.

JANUARY 18-21 WEEKEND.

 

1. El Roomie - $23.4M
2. Anyone but You - $22.6M
3. The Lost Kingdom - $14.2M/$357.4M (-38%)
4. Beekeper - $12.4M/$42.7M (-44.64%)
5. Wonka - $11.3M/$435.8M (-35.42%)
6. Mean Girls - $11.2M/$47.1M (-53.91%)
7. Godzilla: Minus One - $6.8M/$87.6M (-37.04%)
8. Migration - $4.8M/$135.5M (-41.46%)
9. Don't Look at the Demon - $4.8M
10. The Boy and the Heron - $4.7M/$62M (-32.86%)

Great drops across the chart except for Mean Girls which isn't getting a reception as warm as it was expected. Nevertheless a good result although a bit dissapointing considering the property.

Can't remember the last time two romantic comedies opened on top of the weekend; don't even know if it has happened before. Even more special as one is a local and one a foreign. We'll see which one wins in the end with a combined run north of $100M.

December releases remain the strongest ones: Aquaman still looking for a spot on 2023's Top 10 as it has now surpassed Flash's run and soon will do so with The Meg 2. Wonka is now a far No. 6 of the year looking to finisg right in the middle between Spiderverse and Freddy.

Godzilla is still chasing that sweet $100M benchmark; a B&W release is still on the cards but it'll lose 4DX and PLFs on Thursday so will be a photo-finish but in admissions is now the highest grossing non-Dragon Ball japanese release. Boy and the Heron is now above 2013's Battle of the Gods and close to 2020's Mugen Train.

Top Movies 2023 (lc)

 

08        386,284,642  The Nun 2

09        366,853,394  The Little Mermaid (2023)

10        360,324,064  Meg 2: The Trench

11        357,400,000  Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom

12        356,422,924  Elemental

 

Never expected Aquaman to be so high and end up in the Top 10!  It should also pass the Mermaid and come quite close to the Nun.

 

Wonka up to #66 in the all time lc list.
