Today opens: Kingsman: The Golden Circle, Lego Ninjago, The Lost City of Z, Wind River, The Vineyard and Un Profil Pour Deux.

 

Ok, this weekend became kinda interesting since Ninjago is not being released in Cinepolis. Seems #1 will be disputed between Eggsy and Pennywise.

[Carlangonz]

According to ScreenDaily, It retained as No. 1 this weekend with $49M (-33% LW) for a total of $453M. $500M still in game.

 

Kingsman 2 came close with $45M and 76% higher than the first one

 

Affected by the non-release in Cinépolis, Lego Ninjago started with poor $12M 

 

mother! amassed other $7.3M for a $27M total

[Carlangonz]

SEPTEMBER 29-OCTOBER 1 WEEKEND. KINGSMAN WINS THE WEEKEND AS PENNYWISE STRUGGLES TO REACH $500M

 

Kingsman: The Golden Circle

- 62% higher than 'The Secret Service'

- $100M is a lock, its only competition is Blade Runner 2049 next weekend

 

It

- Decent drop, but $500M looks practically dead. Earthquake destroyed its legs

- 10M admissions still in game, would be the first rated B-15 and the first horror movie to do that.

 

Me Gusta pero me Asusta

- Playing so much better than the average local films (whose 2nd weekend drop is usually 30%-35%)

- $100M is a possibility if keeps playing like that

 

Universal VS Cinépolis

This weekend, Cinépolis didn't support another Universal distributed film; Lego Ninjago, which barely made $8M, so much less than The Lego Adventure ($50.69M) and Lego Batman ($50.6M). The other Universal's title that wasn't released by the biggest mexican chain was American Made, that is saying "goodbye" to the Top 10 with barely $20.3M

SECOND THOUGHTS

- Lego Ninjago is a WB's film, however, in Mexico Warner doesn't operate as distributor from a few years ago, so most of their movies are distributed by Universal. Now, the fact that Cinepolis didn't exhibit this movie or American Made did affect seriously both films, because despite that they have a similar number of screens (3,239 Cinepolis VS 2,705 Cinemex), Cinépolis grosses even 3 times more than Cinemex, plus, IMAX screens are Cinépolis' exclusive, Junior Theatres are their invention and they have mnuch more 4D screens.

 

- The failure of the Uni-Cinépolis distribution deal of Ninjago couldn't make happier to Disney. Coco opens on October 27th and with no wide animation since The Emoji Movie back in august, it will surely do tons of money.

Wow! Disney is really betting a lot on Coco, they just announced the cast for the dubbed version and all i can say is that now this movie has more reasons to connect with mexican audiences and succeed, at least here.

Will IT reach the 10 million audience? Currently at #34, stting in good company at the nine million club:

 

27    9,980,000    Baby Boss (2017)
28    9,889,462    Suicide Squad (2016)
29    9,780,000    Spiderman: Homecoming (2017)
30    9,729,348    Hotel Transylvania 2 (2015)
31    9,512,009    San Andreas (2015)
32    9,441,593    The Jungle Book (2016)
33    9,313,519    Ice Age: Collision Course (2016)
34    9,280,000    It (2017)

[Purple Minion]

Well I'll answer myself: IT is now up to an audience of 9.7 million so unless it plummets this weekend, it should reach 10M. Gross of 456.15M lc (about $25.7M), passed How To Be A Latin Lover and became the #5 movie of the year.

What are your expections for Thor 3 , Justice League and Star Wars 8?

[Carlangonz]

WEEKLY REPORT

 

It

- Should pass 10M admissions the upcoming days. First horror and B-15 film to do that

- $500M depends on how much competition affects

- 5th biggest movie of the year behind FOTF, DM3, BATB and SM:HC, with Ragnarok and JL still to come will finish at #6 (Coco still can surprise and Star Wars... well, is not a phenomenon in Mexico)

 

Kinsman: The Golden Circle

- Today faces Blade Runner: 2049 and that will determine how much more can do

 

Me Gusta pero me Asusta

- Amazing WoM, is getting closer and closer to the 2017's Top 3 of local films. 

- A funny fact is that is a film with no big-stars on its cast, also, is not distributed by a major (WB or Videocine)

Theoretically, Justice League should gross more than the other 2 and reach 700M lc. But several recent, big movies had not reached their expectations because of the awful leg syndrome, so WB should be happy with 600M lc.

 

 I think the Jedi will end up outhulking the competition; the Wars should be able to go north of 400M lc, but I can't see Thor3 doing as good as SHC.

[Purple Minion]

Weekend estimates (Screendaily):

• Blade Runer 2049 had a $1.6M OW. Again, sci-fi not a big draw here.
• The Mountain Between Us opened to $1.1M, 42% bigger than The Impossible
• My Little Pony had a disappointing $0.53M OW, proving that animation nostalgia not always works.
• IT now up to $26.5M, with a $1.5M weekend... wonder how close it was to BR2049?
• Lego Ninjago reached $1.2M, the fallout with Cinepolis really hurt.
• mother! total is $1.9M.

With WW's success, Flash popularity (yeah, he's VERY popular around here), no big competition until TLJ and Jumanji and a 5-Day OW i would be shocked if it does less than $650M. The movie is like in a Furious 7 status (4 weeks free of competion and an amazing release date).

Don't think TLJ has a bigger OW than TFA and definitely no better legs, it faces Ferdinand, Jumanji (the original is huge in here so we'll see how nostalgia plays) and The Greatest Showman. Star Wars is weak outside of CDMX.

Hype is strong with Ragnarok, some polls made by Cinemex and Cinépolis put it over Justice League in terms of anticipation. All depends on how it holds facing Coco, HDD, Jigsaw and JL.

How’s buzz for HDD here?

It's pretty good, but unfortunately the release date doesn't help: same day as Coco, 6 days before Ragnarok, 2 weeks before Jigsaw. Can pull impressive numbers but due to lack of screens for competition i'm expecting it to do discreet numbers with good legs.

I’m using Ouija 1 as main comparison for this movie OS, considering that it made $6.6m in Mexico, I hope that HDD can at least match it, but $10m would be great!

OCTOBER 06-08 WEEKEND. BLADE RUNNER 2049 TOPS THE CHART. MOUNTAIN BETWEEN US AND KINGSMAN 2 COME CLOSE.

 

Blade Runner 2049

- 61.7% behind Gravity, 31.5% under The Martian and 37.6% under Mad Max: Fury Road. 

- PRO: 0 competition.  CON. Just like @Purple Minion said: sci-fi is not great in Mexico unless you're a mexican director and your film counts with Oscar buzz

 

- Kingsman: The Golden Circle aims for $110M-$120M total

 

- It passed the 10M admissions milestone, $500M keeps like a missing shot

In other news, today started PS for Thor: Ragnarok, it will open on Nov. 2 at midnight.

[Mockingjay Raphael]

Flatliners opened quite well in Mexico at $1.1m. It makes me even more curious about HDD’s potential, after watching the movie, I’m sure it will break-out here, plus, it’s exploding in Brazil as well.
