10	55.000	-53	6.683.415	7	A:EG

 

After all there was a clear winner this WE as there were some major changes from CineDirectors predictions.

 

DP won the WE and was just 36% below Apocalypse.

 

	OD	OW	OWeek	Total
Apocalypse	163k	782k (ODxOW: x4,8)	903k	2,16M
Dark Phoenix	88k	498k (ODxOW: x5,66)	620k	1,5M

 

With a multipler like Apocalypse it wouldn't be able to reach 1,5M. Maybe it can have a better multipler to reach 1,5M+.

 

Aladdin dropped harder than predicted. WE and Total are still bigger than Dumbo though.

 

WE	Dumbo			Aladdin
1st	470k	---	470k	471k	---	471k
2nd	403k	-14%	954k	513k	+9%	1,08M
3rd	320k	-21%	1,4M	331k	-35%	1,46M

 

So it's still on course to pass it to become the fourth biggest.

 

		OD		OW		OWeek	Total		Multipler
Alice		0,252		1,418		1,600	4,537		x3,20	2010

Nutcracker		0,049		0,229		0,255	0,802		x3,50	2018

 

It should become the release with the biggest multipler too even though MPR opened before christmas which heavily inflated the multipler. It could get to 2,5M.

 

Below that korean Parasite was the big winner that was helped by its win in Cannes. I have no clue how that one will hold, could get to 750k and 1,5M... But I think 1M+ should happen.

Godzilla 2 dropped hard (but not as big as feared). I should get anywhere around 800k, not great but at least close to 60% of G14.

 

In other news AEG became the biggest movie of the year in France. It should still land around 6,8M.

So France's population is just 10% above Italy's, yet Dark Phoenix in France sells more tickets on OW than Pets 2, 3rd weekend of Aladdin, DP and all the other openers combined. Okay. Glad the last chapter of the X-Men wasn't a letdown there.

 

Congratulations to Endgame for the top spot.

 

And....number 9, Aaaalita!!!!

It should be at $58,7M. It could get around $1M more and be very close to $60M or even pass it.

Except Endgame is not the highest grossing movie of the year yet. That number accounted for Serial (Bad) Weddings 2 was not updated for a month since the studio stopped tracking it, it has acually sold 15000 tickets more ever since, theater exhibitors actualized it to 6 695 000 tickets as of now.

Neither CineDirector nor JPBoxoffice have updatet their number to 6,695M... 😕

 

However, in that case AEG should become first today.

Parasite is going to expand its sites to 300+ in its second week. Will it be easy to pass 1m+?

[Aristis]

12.06. - 16.06.

 

1	291.016	---	291.016	1	MIB:I
2	227.925	-54	917.805	2	Dark Phoenix

10	58.327	-48	428.372	3	Venise n'est pas en Italie

 

MIB opens first but with an rather underwhelming start. It's far down from its predecessors.

 

		OD	OW	OWeek	Total	Multipler
#1	MIB1	460k	1,32M	1,63M	5,8M	X4,38
#2	MIB2	581k	1,77M	2,14M	4,71M	X2,66
#3	MIB3	120k	632k	803k	2,13M	X3,37
#4	MIB:I	62k	291k	337k	900k	X3,09

 

The cances for 1M seem small... Maybe it can get to 900k.

 

After opening below Apocalypse, DP even had a little steeper drop.

 

Apocalypse	375k	-52%	1,28M
Dark Phoenix	228k	-54%	918k

 

Apocalypse managed to get to 2,16M. The same multipler and DP would reach around 1,45M, down 33%.

 

Aladdin had again a steeper drop than Dumbo this WE, just a little this time though.

 

WE	Dumbo			Aladdin
1st	470k	---	470k	471k	---	471k
2nd	403k	-14%	954k	513k	+9%	1,08M
3rd	320k	-21%	1,4M	331k	-35%	1,46M
4th	184k	-42%	1,72M	187k	-44%	1,81M

 

However, it still managed to have a higher WE.

 

		OD	OW	OWeek	Total	Multipler
Alice		0,252	1,418	1,600	4,537	x3,20	2010
TJB		0,278	1,090	1,303	3,720	x3,41	2016

Nutcracker		0,049	0,229	0,255	0,802	x3,50	2018

 

It can still get to 2,5M but it has to drop better again...

 

Parasite had by far the best hold in the Top10 and should really be able to reach 1M+.

 

Rocketman had another rather bad drop. It won't get anywhere close to the multipler of ASIB or BR. It will get anywhere at 750k+.

 

Godzilla 2 had again a big drop. 700k should still happen though.

 

AEG left the Top10 now, it's with no doubt first of the yearly Top10 though:

#9	47.465	-57	631.766	4	Rocketman
#10	39.085	---	39.085	1	The White Crow

 

MIB:I stays first with an average hold.

 

		OD	OW	OWeek	Total	Multipler
#1	MIB1	460k	1,32M	1,63M	5,8M	X4,38
#2	MIB2	581k	1,77M	2,14M	4,71M	X2,66
#3	MIB3	120k	632k	803k	2,13M	X3,37
#4	MIB:I	62k	291k	337k	850k	X2,92

 

This will probably land 60% below the lowest and 85% below the highest MIB movie around 850k.

 

Parasite again with the best hold is on its way to reach 1M+, it should get around 1,05M.

 

#1	Parasite	733 527
#2	Snowpiercer	678 049
#3	The Handmaiden	301 115
#4	Train to Busan	275 938
#5	Chi-Hwa-Seon	253 821
#6	Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring	225 062
#7	Poetry	191 833
#8	Burning	188 906
#9	The Host	159 439
#10	3-Iron	149 538

According to JP-BO it's already the biggest Korean movie since (at least since there are no numbers for movies before) 2000.

 

http://www.jpbox-office.com/fichepays.php?idpays=18&view=2

 

DP continues with bad holds, its 3rd WE is down more than 50% from Apocalypse (239k/-36%/1,59M). Its predecessors legs would get it to 1,35M...

 

Aladdin really lost its ground after second WE and what looked to maybe get to 3M has to fight now to get past Dumbo.

 

WE	Dumbo			Aladdin
1st	470k	---	470k	471k	---	471k
2nd	403k	-14%	954k	513k	+9%	1,08M
3rd	320k	-21%	1,4M	331k	-35%	1,46M
4th	184k	-42%	1,72M	187k	-44%	1,81M
5th	208k	+13%	2M	104k	-44%	1,94M

 

It's very unlikely to reach Dumbo though not impossible since that one dropped worse the weeks after, too. However, becoming the 5th biggest with 2,25M would still be great.

Any 2PM numbers for Spidey. Cine-directors is predicting 1.4m OW for it. Only 20% drop for TS4 predicted.

 

What was the OW for homecoming?

TS4 had the biggest OW of the series. It's OWeek is the biggest, too, though (as Sunday) it was inflated by Fête du Cinéma which occured from 30th June to 3rd July.

 

	OD	ODxOW	OW	Midweek	OWeek	Total	Multipler
Toy Story 1	0,100	4,44	0,444	0,053	0,497	2,760	6,22	1996
Toy Story 2	0,145	5,15	0,747	0,180	0,927	4,530	6,06	2000
Toy Story 3	0,390	2,71	1,057	0,220	1,277	4,363	4,13	2010
Toy Story 4	0,306	3,59	1,100	0,406	1,506	4,500	4,09	2019

 

It wasn't the biggest Pixar OW, Finding Nemo (1,85M) or recently The Incredibles 2 (1,52M) for example were much bigger. Though it is bigger than Finding Dory (715k) which opened the same WE three years back. That movie was rather disappointing here. However, it had a great multipler (x4,81) which would be enough to reach 5M+. I wouldn't go that high for now though and say it could have a chance to become the biggest of the series it it does a bit more than 4,5M.

 

MIB:I was able to increase (again thanks to inflated Sunday) and now is safe to reach 1M (it's at 780k after a 250k week).

 

	OD	OW	OWeek	Total	Multipler
MIB1	460k	1,32M	1,63M	5,8M	X4,38
MIB2	581k	1,77M	2,14M	4,71M	X2,66
MIB3	120k	632k	803k	2,13M	X3,37
MIB:I	62k	291k	337k	1,2M	X4,12

 

It should have the second best multipler of the series, not that bad after the miserable OW. It may get to 1,1M.

 

Parasite increased to and is just 24k away from 1M after Tuesday. It'll get to 1,2M+. A great result, almost double the second biggest Korean Movie Snowpiercer (678k) which can be seen above.

 

After all, Aladdin held great again with the biggest increase in the Top10. Its 6th WE finally was bigger than Dumbo to regain its chances to become the bigger of both movies (I don't know if this fight exists anywhere else ).

 

WE	Dumbo			Aladdin
1st	470k	---	470k	471k	---	471k
2nd	403k	-14%	954k	513k	+9%	1,08M
3rd	320k	-21%	1,4M	331k	-35%	1,46M
4th	184k	-42%	1,72M	187k	-44%	1,81M
5th	208k	+13%	2M	104k	-44%	1,94M
6th	116k	-44%	2,16M	117k	+12%	2,09M

 

The whole week was 182k (+39%) and its total is 2,15M. I'd say chances to top the elephant are pretty good since that one disappeared a few weeks later (Dumbo did just 130k more after its 6th WE...). It should get to 2,4M+.

 

DP will reach 1,5M, down 30% from Apocalypse. Probably one of the better holds.

Outside of the Top10:

Rocketman wasn't able to increase this week and further proves its disappointing run. It's at 714k and may not reach much more than 800k, a multipler not much higher than x3,4...

 

JW3 increased and may get to 900k, 125% above JW1 and 169% above the JW2.

 

AEG reappeared in the 19th position with 35k and a total of 6,79M. It'll pass 6,8M soon. But that's it pretty much.

 

Godzilla will probably get to 700k+.

What was the OW for homecoming?

	OD	OW	OWeek
SM:H	234k	802k	981k
SM:FFH	453k

 

So FFH did 7,265. If it plays like SM:H that would be 400k OD, playing like A:EG it'd get to 280k. The OD should be inflated due to Fête du Cinéma so it better gets closer to SM:H.

Edited July 4, 2019 by Aristis

[Linkinitouille]

FFH OD: 453,053 admissions. OW will be over 1M.

 

Note that TASM1, TASM2, SM:H and Spider-Verse all failed to reach #1 at the weekly box-office. TASM1 was beaten by Ice Age 4, TASM2 was beaten by Serial Bad Weddings, and SM:H was beaten by Despicable Me 3. Spider-Verse only managed to open at #5 and also failed to reach 1M admissions by the end of its career. FFH will definitely break that curse, as it's doubtful to see Toy Story 4 coming ahead.

 

Talking about 1M...

 

Parasite just crossed that mark. This is quite an historic feat, as it is:

• The most seen Korean film in french cinemas, beating Snowpiercer (2014)
• The first Korean film to reach 1M admissions
• The first Palme d'or to reach 1M admissions since Blue is the Warmest Color (2013)
• The first foreign Palme d'or to reach 1M admissions since Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004)
• The first asian movie to reach 1M admissions since Arrietty (2011)
• The first live action asian movie to reach 1M admissions since In The Mood for Love (2000)

And note that Parasite didn't have a french dub, which makes its performance even more impressive.

FFH OD: 453,053 admissions. OW will be over 1M.

 

Extra-ordinary start ... +93.6% of Spiderman: Homecoming ... (cine-directors projection of OW is 1.4 M)

 

HC did 234K on OD ...

This is a massive OD for SM:FFH! Just in case somebody missed that, this is even bigger than A:IW 405k!!! It should be the 2nd biggest MCU OD, crazy...

 

It might be heavily frontloaded, I2 had 694k on its Fête du Cinéma OD and reached just 1,517M OW (ODx2,19). That would be 990k OW for FFH, so that should be around the low end. Probably anywhere from 1M to 1,15M.

 

CineDirector increased its prediction for OWeek to 1,6M which would be 60% above SM:H.

FFH takes the lead with a very strong 1.1M admissions WE. The movie still managed to be strong even after the Fête du Cinéma ended. It will end its french career over 3M, on the same pace as Captain Marvel.

 

Toy Story 4 keeps a good pace but the overall week drop will be bigger due to the previous monday and tuesday were part of the Fête du Cinéma with reduced ticket price for everyone. It will however have low drops over the summer, and will be impacted only by Lion King and Pets 2. 4M is still very possible.

 

French comedy Ibiza, after a strong OD over 100k admissions, didn't capitalize on that, as the public reception is lukewarm (2.7/5 on Allociné). 500k will be done but it will not go much farther.

 

Yesterday starts also slowly, Parasite crosses 1M (first time for a korean film as a reminder) while MIB:I will fall short. Aladdin will cruise to 2.5M thanks to the summer school break, Beaux-parents will end its career near 500k, Dark Phoenix will struggle to reach 1.5M.

 

Farther on the list, Godzilla: KOTM also fails in France and will finish at 675k. Rocketman didn't replicate the success of Bohemian Rhapsody and A Star is Born and will end at 750k. John Wick Chapter 3 performs much better than the first two installments and, despite not topping 1M, will finish at 850k. Detective Pikachu will be closing near 1.7M and Avengers: Endgame has crossed the 6.8M mark.
