Deadline/Screendaily report FF8 had the biggest OD of the series. FF7 did a massive 85,891,142 lc for a colossal 318,831,657 lc 4-day OW. So if it holds as well, we're looking at a huge $17M OW!!!!

[Purple Minion]

Staggering $17.8M 4-day OW for FF8, around 332M lc!

 

That translates as the 3rd highest 4-day OW ever in both USD and lc, behind TA2's 390M lc and CA3's 352M lc. It's also higher than FF7's 318M lc.

 

How high will it go? It's already in the all-time Top 50 in lc, and want to believe 600M lc is a given; but with legs getting shorter and shorter in the last months, FF7's 779M is a mighty threshold to reach.

What an incredible Mexican number

[Carlangonz]

Hi guys! I'm new around here. As you can see i'm from Mexico City, so i'll try to cooperate on this mexican thread, keep it fresh and give some information or just some fun facts.

[Purple Minion]

¡Hola Carlangonz! Welcome, looking forward to your contributions'

[Carlangonz]

Thanks!

 

Now. My first "report" 

 

Fate of the Furious (Named 'Fast and Furious 8' in Mexico) opened in the first position with actuals of 17.7 million dollars. $226.5 million pesos on weekend and 327.9 million pesos with the 4-Day opening from Thursday. Opened in 4,467, so that seems the widest release of history in the country.

 

The audience is divided, loved for many people but hated for many others so is hard to say if will keep the legs of Furious 7 (3.6 multiplier) because many factors, some in favor and some against.

In favor:

- With exception of universities and some high-schools all the kids and teens are out of school this entire week. Same thing with much workers who still in vacations

- No big competition this weekend

- I haven't seen the film but i saw many 'sold-outs' the whole weekend, that means much people still wanting to see the movie

 

Against:

- That division between audiencies that i mentioned before, so we could be talking that is being more front-loaded than expected, similar to 'Civil War' last year

- On April 28th faces competition of 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2', which has amassed lot of hype in the country

 

The second spot went to 'Baby Boss' which gross $2.04 million dollars this weekend and a total $17.89 M. In local currency; $38 M the weekend and $332 M total. Now, holds the number 3 anual behind 'Beauty and the Beast' and the astonishing 'Fast and Furious 8'.

 

In third place are 'Smurfs: The Lost Village' with a $700 K dollars weekend and $3.4 M dollars after two weekends. 

 

4.- 3 Idiotas (Local movie; 3 Idiots): $522 K wknd/$5.8 M total

5.- Beauty and the Beast: $377 K wknd/$29.4 M total

6.- Ghost in the Shell: $296 K wknd/$5.01 M total

7.- The Shack*: $1.13 M total

8.- Raw**: $156 K wknd/$156 K total

9.- Les Innocentes** (French movie): $91 K wknd/$91 K weekend

10.- Power Rangers: $86 K wknd/$6.12 M total

 

*Actuals for weekend no available

**Limited release

Not yet. However, it will get good numbers from a 4-Day opening because of national holiday on Monday 1st, besides, another holiday on Friday 5th. Local analysts consider that for 3-Day opening could reach similar numbers to 'HPDH2' ($189.3 million pesos) or even like 'The Avengers' ($219.74 million pesos). In current dollars that means an opening between $10.2 and $11.8 million.

 

But we better wait...

Keeping number 2, 'Baby Boss' made $1.32 MD this weekend ($24.8 M lc) and after a month has an amazing cumulative of $20.5 MD ($384.4 M lc) and Deadline has reported that is the biggest movie ever for DWA.

It was a massive drop! The hype gone very quickly. 'Guardians 2' will be a tough challenge this weekend.

Battle of the Blockbusters!

FF8 is currently tracking as #4, between FF7 and Minions. Very close to have the highest opening Thursday. It's currently at #16 on all time gross (lc) and #15 in audience.

the love of mexican towards superhero film will means that F8 dominion will ended this week

[Purple Minion]

GofG did about 260M lc (5.4M admissions, $20M) back in 2014. Part II should theoretically reach at least 300M lc, although the US total may be lower because of the ER.

GotG2 is taking a lot of screens from FF8, and it has midnight shows at several locations. Just in one cinema complex in a medium-size state capital there are 26 shows tomorrow in subtitled, dubbed, subtitled 3D and dubbed 3D versions.

 

So we can expect a very good OW (GotG opened to 88.6M lc as comparison): 100M lc is CA2 level; 140M lc = Deadpool; 200M = IM3; 225M = TA, 290M = AOU and 300M+ (unlikely but stranger things have happened) would be the 2nd highest 3-day OW for Marvel, behind CA3's 351M.
