Jumanji 2 was underestimated, OW with previews = $5.0M, 95.8M lc. Still in the lower end of expectations.

 

Top Movies 2019 lc

08    498,700,000  Maleficent: Mistress of Evil

DECEMBER 12TH-15TH WEEKEND. THE NEXT LEVEL LEADS THE CHART BEFORE HOLIDAYS START AND ELSA & ANNA CLEARS THE PATH TOWARDS $500M LC.

 

Jumanji: The Next Level

- No fair comps for this one. Opens above past Jumaji but that had a deflated Sunday due to Christmas’ Eve. Aquaman opened with nearly double amount and Bumblebee and Into the Spiderverse had a 5-Day start. 

- Holidays are around the corner and by Friday 100% of schools should be off labor. The period should give a nice boost and legs to the film just like it happened for the past Jumanji and last winter’s hit Aquaman. $300M+ in sight and good retention from Welcome to the Jungle.

 

Frozen 2

- Past week passed It: Chapter 2 as the 8th highest grosser of the year. Right now it aims at $500M+ finish and over 40% from Walt Disney Animation Studios second highest grosser (Ralph Breaks the Internet).

 

Maleficent: Mistress of Evil

- I’ll dig a bit more but no movie during 2017-2019 achieved more than 8 weeks on Top 10. This one is been 9 weekends by now.

At Cinemex, The Rise of Skywalker is outselling Joker and It: Chapter 2 at the same point before release (only a day of difference with Joker) and midnights are pretty much where Joker's were the afternoon before opening. 

 

This is by no means a sign of a $250M+ opening for Episode IX but puts into perspective how presale-heavy is Star Wars and how much it leans into midnight shows. Back in 2015, The Force Awakens smashed Age of Ultron entire advanced sales yet it opened with about half gross.

That movie opens until next Wednesday. And I wouldn't be concerned with screens this weekend either. TROS is barely playing over 2,500 screens which is by far the lowest opening for Disney this year and the second lowest for the saga (Disney era) after Solo. Will have pretty much the same number of screens as Jumanji and this benefits Frozen 2.

Just checked the Cinepolis shows at my old hometown (500,000-people city) and Jumanji and TROS have about the same # of shows on Fri. The force is not strong with this one.

What are you expecting for OW and final box office for SW9 in Mexico ? Do you think that SW9

About the same as TLJ ($6.5M-$6.8M OW/$13M+ total). Conditions are better than the ones for TLJ and RO as the ticket prices are higher and ER is better now than back in December 2017 and December 2016 but buzz isn't there. Only SW niche can save this.

No change in the # of theatres for SW9 vs Jumanji 2 in the middle-tier cities I checked, they're neck and neck. Tickets for Chewbacca & co are much higher. Pre-sales for Thu evening so far weaker than expected... really hope its OW can match TLJ.

Unfortunately (and expected) sales for midnights couldn't keep the pace of the likes such as It 2 (and Joker but that was more back-loaded) so not a good sign for OD considering midnights typically account for about 40% of previous SW opening days. 

 

Also Jumanji 2 is keeping the largest auditoriums at most of theatres. Other red flag there.

 

I'm being positive on the USD gross given the 10% inflation on ticket price and the better ER compared to the previous holidays (2016, 2017 and 2018) but admissions and lc are definitely taking a hit. Seeing it closer to RO than TLJ.

Mexico - $2.4M for TROS 

$45M lc/576K admissions

+15% from TLJ in USD
+13.6% in MXN
-4% in admissions
ATP is up from TLJ by +18%
ER is 0.8% better

Solid result considering how is behaving in most places. 4-Day Weekend shall go towards $135M-$140M ($7.1M-$7.4M)
