Cinépolis reports PS for TLJ over TFA and RO at the same point before release (12 days before), especially for midnight screenings in IMAX and 2D subtitled versions. PS are strong in south, center and west zones of Mexico City, behind of them are Monterrey, Tijuana, Puebla and Guadalajara.

Until friday, Cinemex had sold about 85K tickets in PS; 75K of them are for midnight screenings. West and center zones of Mexico City are top players for the movie, then comes the same cities that Cinépolis. Top formats are 2D subtitled and Cinemextremo (auditorioums with 300-500 seats, Dolby Atmos system and some of them with laser projection).

 

'The Force Awakens' sold about 400K tickets and grossed about $25.3M in midnight screenings (3rd best numbers only behind Civil War and BvS). PS total was about 800K tickets (2nd best number only behind Civil War which came about 1M)

Infinity by far, should do over 700M lc. I see Incredibles at Finding Dory levels (400M), don't think the original broke any records.

Same.

 

MU, FD and IO numbers for Incredibles 2 and over $700M for Infinity War.

 

Can't say anything yet about USD gross, with NAFTA still going on and elections for president, 2018 is going to be a year of volatility for the peso.

First screenings for TLJ starts in 5 hours and i see a lot of tickets selling fast in last hours. 20% of my showing has sold in the last 3 hours, i expect to end about 85%-90% sold, my showing is the second 2D subtitled in my theater; the first one is sold-out, 3D dubbed and 2D dubbed are both 40% sold.

 

Also, seems Coco isn't holding more screens by now. My local theatre (12 screens) is having barely 1 showtime for tomorrow, other theatres are having 3-5. 9 showtimes for Wonder, JL has 6 and TLJ is getting 22 (which is still a low number).

I know it I doesn't I mean anything, but my 3 pm showing was like 10% full, wasn't expecting that.

Today was overall a slow day, except for midnights. Tomorrow is 15 so everything will recover.

 

I expect $150-$160 4-Day for TLJ and somewhere on $25-$30 for Wonder. But let's see how numbers roll tomorrow morning.

[Carlangonz]

ERC says $2.1M USD OD for TLJ. $40.15M MXN, it's coming 25% under TFA. Is looking at a $140M-$160M 4-Day OW.

[Purple Minion]

Exhibitor Relations reports $2.1M OD (Thu) for TLJ. Canacjne reporting lc soon.

[Carlangonz]

I'm expecting Wonder to come somewhere on early 40s by the end of the weekend (OW + previews).

 

Don't think TLJ go over $150M, i'm going with mid 140s. 

[Carlangonz]

WEEKLY REPORT. DADDY'S STILL ON TOP AS STAR WARS OPENS.

 

Daddy's Home 2

- $180M are locked, $190s is where may end

 

Star Wars: The Last Jedi

- 25% under TFA OD. Following same multi gives a $138M 4-Day OW and $348M total. Is less front-loaded so $145M-$155M 4-Day OW. Final number is almost certain will be under $400M (maybe even under $380M)

 

Wonder

- $18M-$24M for 4-Day OW. Mid 30s by monday.

 

Everything else had good weekdays compared to last week.

-30% for DH2

-30% for JL

-31% for Coco 

-28% for T:R

$23.9M fri for TLJ. Runs 33% behind TFA, this isn't boding well, same multi Thu-Fri/OW takes it to $126M and if keeps 33% behind number is $129M. May sub-100M 3-Day and 130-135M 4-Day.

 

EDIT. Following Rogue One course, 140M is the number for the 4-Day.

Plays well in main cities like Mexico City and Guadalajara, same with border cities like Monterrey, Juarez or Tijuana due to fanbase strongly connected. But unfortunately it's a dead franchise for GA, sci-fi is not a draw in Mexico.

Same thing in Brazil and Latin America as a whole. To be interested in sci-fi you probably need to reach a certain level of economic development and a sci-fi culture coming with being technologically advanced. Latin America is not there yet.

I agree but somehow ComicBook Movies especially the ones from Marvel and DC perform very well in Latin America, and comic book movies have a strong fanbase like sci-fi does, why do ComicBook Movies do so well in Latin America especially Mexico and Brazil?
