Mexico Box Office | Kongzilla repeats on top, Civil War and Abigail underperform

[Carlangonz]

I thought it was me but Cinépolis is having issues... again queues are quite large.
I'm looking at Cinemex and in most places is only running No Way Home since late afternoon. Business across the country finish about 3.5 hours from now.

Didn't noticed it but it could break December 3-Day opening record in pure opening day.

Mexico is smarter than most countries.

[Carlangonz]

Let's try $9.1M/$193M lc. 3x from FFH and bigger than IW.

[Purple Minion]

Not bad for a Wednesday OD. #8 movie of the year already!

[Carlangonz]

For some reason Deadline and Sony are reporting this is the biggest OD ever. I mean, kinda if you exclude midnights from EG. It did beat IW + midnights in both lc and USD.

Strange indeed. This is the report doing the rounds: SM:NWH grabbed $9M in Mexico for the biggest-ever opening day in the market — coming in above Avengers: Endgame.

 

Based on this, how do you see the full 5-day OW?

Im of course no expert but maybe something like 9-6-7-8-9? 

[Carlangonz]

Around $770M/$35M. Admissions coming over SM3's total and o/u FFH

[charlie Jatinder]

WTF WTF WTF.

[Legion Again]

Finally a nonflop market

[charlie Jatinder]

Ok seems like we are lied. Endgame clearly M$245M. I take my 3 WTFs back.

 

2.5M admits nice.

Lc above Endgame and admissions over IW. I'll think about it but if pulls $750M+ across five days can't see how it misses it.

Jeepers. The first billion-and-a-half movie in lc!

Also on Wednesday, No Way Home grabbed 190M MXN ($9M) in Mexico for the biggest-ever opening day in the market. This comes in above Avengers: Endgame when excluding that film’s previews.

Deadline clarified, they indeed excluded midnights from the Endgame comparison. Anyway we confirm second biggest OD ever in lc and USD. Admissions-wise is below EG and IW but is impressive how it placed right in between IW with and w/o midnights despite similar runtime and capacity restrictions.

So far yeah, I would agree close to $15M by Friday morning. Inclined to $14.5M but let's see if late night shows surprise us

[Purple Minion]

 

Preliminary estimates: Spidey $15.2M up to Thursday, already passed Eternals after two days.

ER fluctuating a lot so the actual US total will be calculated by Sony on Sunday.

 

@Carlangonz how do you see FFS?

Need to see how's today. Shows after 4:00 PM seem packed everywhere but matinees are about to start and best-case is that they remain flat from Thursday. If that's the case I'm going with anywhere between $700M-$750M

Nvm. I don't want to do any math right now and get dissapointed later.

ER picked up pretty well given central bank's decision to increase interest rates so hopefully we close below $21 today as well.
