How's things looking for JWLK? If I2 survived the Sunday match, could be the same for the Saturday one.

Hard to tell based on PS, just like the first one this is going to rely heavily on walk ups. I'm expecting anywhere between $170M-$200M. About the saturday match i don't expect any risk; sat matinees are weaker than sunday's.

[Purple Minion]

Thanks. JW opened to 224,434,566 lc with Thu previews. A 15-20% drop in lc would be OK I guess, although in US it will look bad.

Screens and shows for both JW2 and I2 are not too far one from the other, although holdovers are feeling the hit, DP2 and OB are losing a lot of shows and O8 is getting a significant cut of theatres. Anything over $180M is good for JW and $95M+ is good for I2, btw a lot of theatres are booking even 5 or 6 screens for saturday's match (Mexico vs Korea)

 

And... Ant-Man and the Wasp tickets went on sale last night.

Any news on JWFK's OD? Or is everyone still celebrating?

Between WC and elections this next week is being really tough.

 

Unfortunately not, my source is moving to a new place so no system the last two weeks  But judging from what I'm seeing there's madness everywhere, IW weekend/Coco-Ragnarok weekend level of insanity, i don't regret couldn't go to the theatre this weekend.

Will I2 be greatly affected by JWFK in Mexico?

[Purple Minion]

Theoretically no, I2 didn't lose many screens and there's market for family movies with schools on holidays. Adult-leaning movies will suffer a lot.

What are your predictions for the JWFK opening?  Will it come anywhere near the first one (13.7 mill)?

$10M-$11M, ER is recovering little by little but still in awful levels.

Exactly. 

 

Three years ago IO perfectly survived with JW and even got a 3x multi, the competition back then the weeks after was harder with Genysis, Minions and Ant-Man compared this time with only Sicario and Ant-Man and the Wasp. 

 

The only problem for I2 is itself; huge opening which already burned a lot of demand and try to keep a good wom.

 

Plus, many schools are starting with summer holidays the next two weeks, by July 6th all of them will be off.

Is Mexico like South America where Winter Holidays are better for animation? 

[Carlangonz]

$483M lc for I2, good holds for both weekend and weekdays. Should take on #2 of the year -passing Black Panther and Overboard- between friday or saturday.

Very good ow for Dino's... right ?

[Purple Minion]

No, since it's in the Northern Hemisphere, Winter breaks are very short. Biggest animations are always around Summer (May-Sep).

 

I2 total is a fab $23.5M. Dory probably went down.

It usually helps for weekdays, especially wednesday.

 

Although i think you mean to the June-July period which here is summer period.

Amazing.  $12.3M is close to 250M lc... very unexpected in a great way. Summer is going to be a busy one!

[Purple Minion]

O8 felt the heat, total is $5.4M.

No, I meant northern winter. Thanks you , purple minion too .

That means that July is definitely the best period for animation in all Latin America

Close race between I2 and JW2 for the silver medal this year! That's going to be exciting!

[Purple Minion]

3 movies over 500M lc so far (IW, BP, Overboard).  I2 will be the 4th and JWLK could become the 5th; there were 4 in 2017, 3 in 2016 and 4 in 2015.
