Purple Minion Posted November 18, 2021 Author Share Posted November 18, 2021 Ghostbusters Afterlife had a relatively subdued opening today, judging from the number of available screens. From tomorrow, it's taking practically all the IMAX and premium screens from Eternals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purple Minion Posted November 21, 2021 Author Share Posted November 21, 2021 (edited) $2.4M OW for Ghostbusters: Afterlife, #1, about 50M lc. Bad ER not helping. Eternals reached $13.3M, pointing to another decent hold. Sneaks into the Top 5 of the year.

GA is likely to have much better legs in the US than G2016. Are you expecting that to be the case in Mexico too and it to gross much more than $6.6m?

It was the only country in Latin America in which it beat Eternals and had a #1 opening. Legs should be decent since there's no other tentpole for weeks. However the ER is fluctuating a lot. $6M should be a good result. Edited November 21, 2021 by Purple Minion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purple Minion Posted November 24, 2021 Author Share Posted November 24, 2021 Had totally forgotten about Encanto opening tomorrow. It's getting a decent amount of screens, with all shows in Spanish; could it have a 100M lc 4-day OW? No big animated movie in a while so there's potential. Ghostbusters is keeping the premier formats, and relatively few shows here and there for the latest Resident Evil and House of Gucci. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlangonz Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 If Ghostbusters made $2.4M I can see Encanto topping $4M or so. Surprisingly low for House of Gucci; it'll surely pull both a high PSA and a high PTA, may show legs as a counter-programming as well. You know PS are going to be big for a title when there's a lot of people questioning how to buy tickets in advance since it's their first time doing so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck, I forgot that was coming lol Disney will surely dump it. Btw I'm not expecting midnights to happen so it already messes some of my comps. If previews doesn't happen either then I don't know how to work my comps (EG, IG, TROS, CW) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlangonz Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 No midnights or previews for No Way Home. Shows will start as theatres open and given local restrictions they could release it as soon as 10:00 AM and as late as 3:00 PM. Been thinking on how to spin PS data with comps and I've decided to work it out this way, Goal for OD is 2x from Let There Be Carnage, so it should target around $4M $4M OD should mean something like 60% higher than Endgame's midnights. I'll track both chains however Cinemex will be more useful than Cinépolis this time. If PS there for OD are significantly bigger than EG's midnights then we're up for a threat It'll probably be more tiresome to track than EG and IW but certainly will be a better indicator on how's going to go. Without midnights or previews it should look to be less front-loaded as well. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purple Minion Posted November 27, 2021 Author Share Posted November 27, 2021 Hope ER improves, it's about to hit 22, 10% higher than two weeks ago 😑 If Venom 2 crosses 504M lc, it will pass Hotel Transylvania 2 to become Sony's 2nd grossing movie, only behind Spiderman FFH.

Purple Minion Posted November 28, 2021 Author Share Posted November 28, 2021 (edited) Oh boy, $1.6M OW for Encanto. That's... not good. Gucci opened at #3 with $975k, Eternals reached $14.3M.

Carlangonz Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 I really didn't think Encanto would be a victim of this, this is not even undeerwhelming, it's plain awful. Hoping it legs past $6M but still not good. I guess Dune and Afterlife somehow overperformed thanks to the pandemic. Let me explain, in normal times both would've made what they're grossing right now and it would've looked just fine but this further proves that people who want to return are already doing it and it's people that knows what they want to see, and they're either a ravid fan-base or people who used to go almost every week and they're kinda doing it again. Large part of GA still hesitates but the virus isn't entirely to blame on; we're living the greatest inflation in 20 years and employement is barely recovering. Inflation on ticket prices and concessions is the most hostile I've seen in 10 years. Right now people is less flexible on what they're spending and they do want to spend on movies but they would prefer platforms than theatres -Netflix is somehow finding space, D+ is ok and HBO Max is growing- and they just rather wait for the next big event (i.e. GvK, Venom, NWH) or the next big niche deal (i.e. Dragon Slayer) to be at theatres. Anyway, hopefully Encanto legs and No Way Home perfoms on line with buzz. About 10 hours to ticket sales begin for the latter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlangonz Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 (edited) Showtimes for both Cinépolis and Cinemex starting to pop up. Massive show and screen count coming. No sale yet. IW collapsed servers 5 minutes after midnight. EG did that around five minutes before midnight.

Carlangonz Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 (edited) OKAY THIS IS IT! Perisur begins with 44 shows so far incl. IMAX, 4DX and VIP and Universidad with 47 Still need 3 theatres from my 2019 sample but in regular sessions is already outpacing Endgame. I'll talk about the importance of this later. IMAX sessions are a done deal and it's been just 10 minutes Edited November 29, 2021 by Carlangonz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
