Tickets for It: Chapter II are going on sale later today. First It was a presale monster selling even better than any title of summer 2017. Surprisingly, this time is holding Thursday night previews on Sep 5th starting 9:00 PM instead of midnights.

 

The second installment of the franchise is looking at a superb opening between $205M-$215M which puts it as the highest opening ever for a horror title and a B-15 rated movie surpassing last fall's The Nun. It also would challenge Batman v Superman as Warner's biggest opening ever and the fifth best opening of the year beating Sony's Spider-Man: Far From Home.

AUGUST 16^TH-18^TH WEEKEND. DEL TORO TRIUMPHS AGAIN WITH SCARY STORIES TO TELL IN THE DARK. PETS 2 STILL TRAILING BEHIND GRINCH AND HOBBS & SHAW DO MEH.

 

Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark

- Guillermo del Toro’s power once again showed up. 5.18% behind The Shape of Water and nearly double of Crimson Peak. Also more than double of recent titles such as Child’s Play and Crawl.

- Lacks of wide competition until It: Chapter 2 so a final figure between $130M-$150M seems the target.

 

The Secret Life of Pets 2

- Now is running only 4.9% under Dr Seuss’ The Grinch at the same point of release which puts it in a very close to exceed $300M with a significant difference. But unfortunately this is the last week of holidays and should take a big hit after that so may be just an o/u $300M result.

 

Hobbs & Shaw

- Now we have a clearer picture of it and it seems to be indeed falling 50% from Fate of the Furious and finish between $325M-$330M.

 

The Lion King

- Despite holidays its weekday holds haven’t been as good and now it’s finishing just a shy behind $1B. It was running above Dumbo and both enjoyed of holidays during its run but the elephant had better weekday holds.

This Friday opens: Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, The Art of Racing in the Rain, Morto Nao Fala, A La Herencia con Cariño, Diamantino and Le Semeur.

[Carlangonz]

Excellent start on sales for It: Chapter II. First day way above Anabelle: Creation, The Curse of Llorona, Detective Pikachu, and John Wick 3 and decently over Hobbs & Shaw all which also held Thursday night previews. 

 

Could become second title to open $10M+ in Thursday night previews. 

[carlsalf38]

I bought my tickets on Monday for Imax at 9:30pm on thursday. And the theater was already at 60%. I guess it will have a great start but the long runtime will probably hurt it a bit, heard that critics are not that happy with the duration.

 

And what do you expect for Once Upon a time in Hollywood? I see a lot of publicity but not sure it will be for mainstream audiences

Runtime won't affect the opening weekend but then it'll be up to word on mouth.

Great marketing campaign, Sony really pulled a good one this time. Despite no presales period I'm seeing healthy sales for tomorrow's opening. Should easily double the highest Tarantino openings -Django and Bastards at $12M- and maybe even triple them.

It stars Hector Suárez so makes sense 🤷

MDP is not doing bad at all, up to #3 in the midweeks with 34.2M lc total.

 

The Lion King is now at 979.4M lc. It's all or nothing this weekend for that billion.

 

Didn't even register that Playmobil Movie was released. What a bomb, it hasn't even reached $1M.

 

ER is down, close to 20 😯

Hollywood 3x of Django and Inglorious locked

Probably even 4x

[Purple Minion]

OUATIH is Quentin' Tarantino's best-ever start at $2.4M (about 46M lc), tracking 207% ahead of The Wolf Of Wall Street.

 

The Lion King is up to $51.4M and Toy Story 4 finished its shows at $71.9M.

 

 

 

 

 

[Purple Minion]

TLK's total is now 986.9M lc. Too close to 1 billion to not get expanded, promoted or bundled with something else...

[Carlangonz]

AUGUST 23^RD-25^TH WEEKEND. ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD DELIVERS BEST OPENING FOR TARANTINO, SECOND BEST FOR PITT AND DICAPRIO AND THIRD FOR ROBBIE. SCARY STORIES CROSSES $100M. THE LION KING IS FALLING SHORT OF $1B.

 

Once Upon a Time in… Hollywood

- Best start for a Quentin Tarantino title surpassing Django Unchained by 276%. 3-Day opening is positioned 29.2% above Dunkirk’s 4-Day launch.

- Second best openings in Pitt’s and DiCaprio’s career; is below World War Z for the former and The Revenant for the latter. Third in Robbie’s career behind Suicide Squad and The Legend of Tarzan.

- Average ticket price is nearly $70 lc, 40% than national average thanks to strength in premium formats (IMAX, PLF and VIP) and crazy business in art-house theatres.

 

 Scary Stories to Tell In the Dark

- Already surpassed Crimson Peak’s lifetime gross; is looking to comfortably finish above $150M.

 

The Secret Life of Pets 2

- 9.79% below The Grinch at the same point of release but with holidays now over the comp is going to look worst as time goes by. Is going to finish just o/u $300M.

 

The Art of Racing In the Rain

- A third part behind both A Dog’s Journey and A Dog’s Way Home.

This Friday opens: Angel Has Fallen, Como si Fuera la Primera Vez, Yesterday, St. Agatha, The Big Trip, Desde tu Infierno, Première Année and High  Life

 

[Carlangonz]

First It benefited from released a week after the lowest grossing weekend of 2017. This present weekend aims to be the worst or second worst of 2019 so it seems Chapter II is having the same perfect scenario for a jaw-dropping opening. 

 

Also this is a crucial weekend on advance ticket sales to see where this is heading. At the moment comp with first It is very hard to apply given first It had midnights and tons of screens but second It is holding night previews which limits its screen count. Cinemex keeps adding shows in response to demand but Cinépolis has been quiet.

 

Doing a little increase to forecast to $210M-$230M

[Purple Minion]

The Lion King reached 989.4 M lc. What would Disney do?

With holidays over I don't think they can (or want) do anything. Weekdays drops were already too harsh and it lost most of its theatres this weekend. 

 

Bragging rights would be important but they've already crossed the billion milestone four times so they don't care about it now.

[Purple Minion]

OUATIH is now at $4.6M. The bad ER is not helping 

[Purple Minion]

Somehow The Lion King grossed 3.8M lc this weekend, total is 993.2M. I can see a Disney trick coming!

[carlsalf38]

So... It seems this weekend was not that bad thanks to Yesterday that debuted decently (and I'm hearing good things, will probably have good legs)

 

I'm also leaning towards a 200M opening for It 2. hoping it will get at least to 500M so it can help the overall results

 

BTW, has the Box office crossed the 14Billion Pesos mark? Last I have is it's was almost about to cross 13Billion but I don't have the exact numbers, you have more information that what I have.

 

The Lion King is at 993M - 7 Million more and crosses the magical mark... I know you have already said that Disney will probably not do anything but is just so close that I really think they will do something about it... at least lie about next weekend numbers¡ Hahaha
