JUNE 9TH-11TH WEEKEND. MUMMY CAN'T SCARE TO THE WARRIOR OF THEMYSCIRA.

This weekend 'The Mummy' started the Universal's 'Dark Universe' in many countries, included Mexico. The film starring Tom Cruise made $89.4 M lc ($4.9 M USD) on its first three days at the country. That's a...decent(?) opening. The truth is that with a lazy summer ruled by Star Lord, Eugenio Derbez and Wonder Woman by this point, 'The Mummy' feels like a decent result for Universal after the disasters that King Arthur, Alien: Covenant, Get Out were, besides the low-performance of POTC 5. However, legs won't be long for this one, and i'm not just saying for competition (WW, Cars 3, DM3) but for the mixed WoM of the film. $220 M is a possibility, but will have to struggle for that.

 

In second spot, with a good drop (55%), is Wonder Woman. The DC powerful girl amassed $68.8 M lc ($3.7 M USD) for a total of $286.9 M lc ($15 M USD). With good results between weekends will top $300 M for the begining of the next weekend. WoM keeps being quite good for the film.

 

'Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales'. Another weekend, another drop for the fantasy-action film in the Top 3. This weekend add $22.6 M lc ($1.2 M USD) for a cumulative of $271.92 M lc ($15 M).

Wow, so not even 90M lc OW for La Momia. Tickets were cheaper than usual for an opening... may not reach 200M with the Cars 3 / DM3 / Spiderman HC treble whammy.

Delighted for Wonder Woman, it will be the first "origin" superhero movie to pass the 300M lc barrier (if we exclude the ASM reboot).

Despicable Me 3 will hunt Fate of the Furious to get the No. 1 of the year and everyone will be affected for that. Merchadising in the main theatres chains is totally insane, i never saw many souvenirs for a film.

ER below 18 for the first time in months. It got as high as 22 in Jan! That'll help the US gross of upcoming movies.

Great news for Cars 3 this weekend.

[Purple Minion]

According to Mojo, Cars 2 opened to $8,242,857 for a great $25,508,290 total back in 2011. Cars 3 has a Latino character, but with the current front-loading environment, it'll be hard to reach 400M lc  ($22M). What do you reckon?

how soon after does DM3 open? I think it should be able to hold OK until then right?

This one has a decent shot to pass $350 M with a +$120 M lc OW because: 

1. Zero competition until Gru arrives on June 30th

2. Mon-Thu (specially tuesday and wednesday) have proven to be good days for BO

  

But going further is almost impossible just because: 

1. Hype is not that strong with this one, but may will help it that any animated film has debuted wide since Boss Baby in March, that could cheer parents to take their kids to theatre, altough...

2. ... Gru and his Minions. They are waaay more popular than McQueen and parents could prefer save its money to take their kids to DM3 instead of some movie that they are less or not even interested to see. Plus, Universal is looking to get +4,000 screens for its release.

3. Most of kids are out of school until July 28th and there are no holidays, and that's something that will affect not just Cars 3 but DM3 and Homecoming, making them even more front-loaded.

 

I thought on making a comparison bassed on Inside Out-Minions competition back in 2015, but there are a few significative differences that make it useless at least until monday results.

 

 

[Carlangonz]

Earlier screenings of Cars 3 are strong, specially in kids-friendly formats like 4DX and Sala Junior. IMAX and VIP theatres are very crowded too. Inside-Out made a $131 M OW and Monsters University a $159 M OW. Cars 3 is eyeing for a $140-145 M lc opening.

 

The Mummy ended its first seven days on screen with $129.9 M lc and a bad WoM. People miss Brendan Fraser!

 

Wonder Woman is poised to surpass GOTG Vol 2, but not this weekend, maybe by next friday get that. After 14 days it has amassed $317.9 M.

WW is now in the all-time Top 60 Movies (lc). May become the 36th movie to reach 400M:

 

55  320,990,000  Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014)

56  319,220,000  The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 (2014)

57  317,190,000 Wonder Woman (2017)
58  316,762,931  Shrek 2 (2004)

59  316,580,000  X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014)

 

150M lc OW would be very good for Cars 3.

So not enough fuel for Cars 3 to reach 100M lc OW!

Still can make it. Audiences increases each day of the weekend. Last year's Ice Age 5 made $155 M lc with a $33.7 M lc OD, Sing kicked with $72.3 OW from $11 OD. This one definitely won't pass $125 M but it still can pass $100 M lc. 

 

In other news: Spiderman: Homecoming already started PS. It opens July 6th, a 4-Day opening. We'll see if the friendly neighbour keeps as No. 1 superhero in Mexico.

[Carlangonz]

PS for DM3 have begun today. Official release date is June 29th. Another 4-Day OW.

Looks good for Cars 3.

[Carlangonz]

Seems that Cars 3 got to pass the $100M lc milestone.

[Carlangonz]

And at least in USD, WW is over the entire run of GOTG 2

[Carlangonz]

Other results according to Deadline:

 

- Wonder Woman: $18.9 M TOTAL. In lc it's close to $145-$147 M Should pass GOTG 2 by next weekend.

- The Mummy: $9.3M TOTAL. Around $155 M lc

- Baywatch: $2.4 M OW. $42.9 M lc. Biggest OW for a B-15 comedy (Although, Deadpool is also considered a comedy and it was B-15, so...)

JUNE 16TH-18TH WEEKEND. LOW PERFORMANCE FOR PIXAR'S 'CARS 3' AND A MEH OPENING FOR BAYWATCH.

 

Ok, it's so unfair to compare OW of Cars 3 ($103.3M) with monsters like 'Minions' ($247.3M OW), 'Toy Story 3' ($195M OW), 'Ice Age 5' ($155M OW) or 'Finding Dory' ($177.2M OW), but at least you should expect an 'Inside Out' OW level ($131M OW) for the first three days of the final installment in the Lightning McQueen series, just because is a very known and popular character, the first one made $12M USD back in 2006 and in 2011 the second one doubled up those numbers into $25M USD ($276M lc). We better hope doesn't have the legs of Dory or Scrat because it won't even get the 300 M milestone, and it comes the problem of Gru in 2 weeks and the Parker/Stark duo in 3. Personally, i don't see going further of $300 M, it's becoming typicall that when an animation comes out while other one is still playing, the older one of the chart has a 60-70% drop. The good part is has two weeks to get all the money it cans.

 

With awful WoM and terrible reviews here it comes... Baywatch! Seems that the Dwayne Johnson's mojo didn't work out so well this time, and the movie just made $44.9M ($2.5M USD) this weekend, we could say it's a "decent" opening because american comedies usually don't do well in theatres (surpsingly, they do so much better with BD, DVD and streaming sales) but the terrible reputation that is having among audiences will have a negative repercussion on its performance.

 

Dropping 57% from last weekend, the entirely punished 'Mummy' take the third spot with $38.3M weekend for a total of $168.48M ($9.3M USD). Yes, it's so much succesful that Edge of the Tomorrow and Oblivion but it's still a pretty regular result for this one.

 

With another wonderful drop of 53% is the Princess of Themyscira. Wonder Woman added $32.08M for a $349.45M cume. It's just 10-15 millions away of GOTG 2 and that way will be the highest CBM without Batman/Iron Man/Spiderman in it. In dollars has amassed $18.9M USD so far, on par with GOTG 2 but still far away of MOS ($21M), TWS and TDK($25M) and obviously so much far of BVS, SS and any Avengers film. Still, people in WB should be happy and proud.

 

Finally, with a hard drop of 61.1% comes another Disney property; POTC 5. It made $8.7M this weekend for a $291.6M cumulative. Definitely can reach $300M but it will be dead by June 29th.
