Coco | Pixar / Lee Unkrich | Now playing | #1 all-time in Mexico

[Morieris]

Any Pixar movie that's half decent and not a sequel gets the award. Extend that to Disney movies that get nominated in BAP category as a whole.

 

The soundtrack is out and Remember Me isn't even two minutes long...is it eligible for Best Song being that short?

It just says, “To be eligible for a nomination (for Best Original Song), a song must be written specifically for the movie in question.”

Right now I think that Coco will follow the path of Moana, except only do 60% of the gross.

I doubt it.  The Latino/Hispanic population is approx 17-18% of the U.S. pop and make up about 25% of all ticket buyers. In terms of representation in film they are also very under served.

I don't think Latinos of every ethnicity will be excited about this.

 

It has a strong focus on Mexican culture specifically.

 

And Latinos can be competitive when it comes to nationality.

 

Either way Hollywood will be watching this box office run closely to see the hidden potential of the Latino market.

That might be though Dead Of The Dead spans beyond Mexican culture and is celebrated in some form or derivation in I think every Spanish speaking L.A. country.   Regardless, Mexican Americans are almost 2/3s of the Hispanic population in the U.S.

2nd biggest movie all-time in MXN. By thu will be #1 

[ThomasNicole]

Expecting at least $ 350M OS for this, it will do great in Latin America

[narniadis]

Amazing gross in Mexico - although not really surprising. I do think it's target audience is not being appreciated enough in the states though - hence the under predictions.

Lee Unkrich and Joss Whedon are mexican BO rulers

Give Pixar credit; despite all the trademark controversies, "Book of Life ripoff" and "cultural appropriation" accusations they still managed to make a movie that has been fully embraced in the culture it depicts. That was certainly no guarantee.

Mammoth numbers in Mexico. 75M+ is happening?

This.

 

Coco did on its OD what Book of Life did on its OW and after a week surpassed its entire run, there's something special about Coco beyond the level of production or the marketing (which if i'm honest, for Coco was weak until barely a couple of weeks before its release) and is that has lot more heart and accuracy than Book of Life, with the last one people didn't connect cause it was a weird spanish-mexican mix but with Coco most of people can reflect something about their childhood with Miguel's life, or grandma with our grandmom's. So yeah, was a rough proof and it succeded great.

So can Coco reach $1B pesos?

There's a chance, all depends on how much JL affects it, after that has no competition until TLJ, but SW isn't a big deal in the country so Disney can order a expansion for holidays.
