SEPTEMBER 12-15 WEEKEND.

 

1. Beetlejuice Beetlejuice - $56.8M/$217.7M (-55.06%)
2. Transformers: One - $18.7M 
3. Speak No Evil - $15.8M
4. Casi el Paraíso - $11.4M

5. Longlegs - $5.9M/$72.6M (-66.09%)
6. It Ends with Us - $4.2M/$269.1M (-67.44%)
7. Alien: Romulus - $2.4M/$156.6M (-73.33%)
8. Coraline (Re-issue) - $2.1M/$148.8M (-68.18%)
9. Despicable Me 4 - $1.1M/$825.7M (-71.05%)
10. The Forge - $0.99M/$11.5M (-65.86%)

Overall a poor weekend which was already expected due to Independence Day's Eve deflating Sunday which is the most attended day of the week; also mixed with an ugly weather and floods in several parts of the country and holdovers affected by newcomers taking over screens and direct competition like Transformers to Despicable Me 4 or Speak No Evil to Longlegs and Romulus.

All things considered Beetlejuice Beetlejuice sees a good hold and standouts with powerful legs. We'll see how much Independence Day and October 1st holidays fuel it after $300M.

On the other side, even when factoring so many things all new openers do quite meh numbers. Transformers: One could leg out with its good reception but in two weeks will face The Wild Robot which may see an even better reception and has started to build buzz around it. With upcoming holidays still may reach $80M+

Speak No Evil also does bit of dissapointing numbers; but once again this is another one that could be benefited from its positive WOM and catch $50M+

Local opener Casi el Paraíso is yet the biggest underperformer; it has had a sizable campaing from both distributor and exhibitors but has failed to meet audiences.

Following a similar strategy to Priscilla on last Christmas, Mubi is holding early access shows for The Substance on a nationwide level during Monday and Tuesday to take advantage of the holiday. Starting on Thursday will be their second largest bet ever in screens only behind the Sofia Coppola film; which is their highest grosser of all time. As a platform release, if this one could make $20M would be a hit; they're counting on horror fans.

Tickets for Joker: Folie a Deux going on sale this Thursday. Releases October 3rd with night previews starting at 7PM on the 2nd.

First set of shows are popping up and allocation is looking more like The Flash rather than Deadpool & Wolverine. Very curious to see how this one goes after how sales are going in US/CAN and Brazil.

Overall a poor weekend

 

D&W fell a massive 82.6%, grossing about 500K lc. Ouch.

 

Latest IO2 USD total, per Mojo: $102,292,055. It is still playing after 14 weeks, but can't see it go much further.

Yeah, both are pretty much gone from theaters, specially with the imminent D+ release for IO2. 

In a turn of events, The Wild Robot is getting early access this weekend. But tbh is more like a mid-release; will be playing at 700-800 screens starting Thursday and then expand to other 1k-1.5k on the 26.
