Bluebomb, is it safe to say IO will pass 5 millions in H/K and Minions will cross 10?

Yes to both. Inside Out is going to post an excellent 2nd weekend hold which will push it past 5m. Meanwhile, most theaters will be forgiving and give Minions another week of screens despite the big falls so it will be enough to pass 10m.

Amazing for Inside Out. It increased from its opening day admissions and beat Ant-Man for #1. The rest of the top 5 all had standard drops.

Magnificent for Inside Out. It had the biggest increase of the top 10 today and is building a nice gap over Ant-Man. Not bad for Ant-Man. Terrible increase for Minions. Despite having almost 3x the admissions of Monster Hunt, it only increased a little over 1,000 admissions on Tuesday versus 850 for Monster.

Great for Inside Out. Ok for Ant-Man and Minions.

Mission Impossible 5 sneaks gets off to a solid start. Theaters are running the film after 9:30 PM which makes pre-sales difficult to achieve since it's a weekday. I expect it to get to about 4,000 admissions today. A lot of places are half or more than half full already.

Since Mission Impossible 5 is distributed by Paramount and MCL is the distributor for Paramount (Intercontinental) in HK, it is no surprise that MI5 comes out on 3-4 screens. The GRAND is going all out guns blazing by scheduling this with 29 showtimes on Thursday.

Mission Impossible will be put on 2 screens while Ant-Man gets the bigger screen over Inside Out here. Minions will see its showtimes dwindle by 40%.

Good for Mission Impossible 5. It did get a couple of extra days of pre-selling though. Ant-Man leads Inside Out because of the 7 PM showtime but it has switched to 2D this week while Inside Out gets a mixture of 3D and 2D showtimes. While Ant-Man's is massively inflated by the 7 PM showtime, Inside Out is the only one of the 3 to not have an empty showtime. Not bad for Minions. Admissions at The ONE are good.

What total is expected for MI5?

[Olive]

Hong Kong weekly box office($HK)

[Bluebomb]

What total is expected for MI5?

7.5-8m.

 

July 23 Weekend Actuals

1. Ant-Man - around $1,570,000 (-30.0%)/$4,772,310

2. Inside Out - $1,425,288/$1,767,338

3. Minions - around $800,000 (-57.4%)/$9,076,146

4. Monster Hunt - around $240,000 (-45.6%)/$914,785

5. Insidious: Chapter 3 - $152,794

6. Paris Holiday - $95,909/$100,860

7. Magic Mike - $86,287

8. Terminator: Genisys - $3,868,864

9. Jurassic World - $12,384,264

10. Ted 2 - $3,807,940

Excellent hold for Ant-Man. Deadline reports that Inside Out bows to the biggest OW Pixar release ever (although Incredibles made 1.52m OW according to BOM.) Minions had another iffy hold but it fell less than expected. Encouraging hold for Monster Hunt. Insidious 3 opens below the original but above the second installment. Paris Holiday and Magic Mike opened horribly.

July 30 Predictions

1. Mission Impossible 5 - $2,500,000

2. Inside Out - $1,100,000 (-23%)

3. Ant-Man - $738,000 (-53%)

4. Minions - $300,000 (-63%)

5. Monster Hunt - $110,000 (-54%)

Mission Impossible 5 will be HK's last 2m OW grosser of the summer. Pre-sales look good and reviews will bolster walk-ins quite a bit. In the face of big competition, Inside Out will ease off about 20-30% this weekend thanks to low admissions on Thursday/Friday. Pre-sales are looking very strong with some theaters already matching MI5's pre-sales on Friday despite only being out half a day. Ant-Man had a great hold last weekend but another action film being in the marketplace will slice its legs. Minions has not had good holds but it has not experienced a terrible hold yet. Mission Impossible 5 will take away screens and showtimes from it but no new direct competition should keep it from being hurt drastically. Monster Hunt had an OK hold last weekend but Mission Impossible 5/Inside Out should pose a threat to it on the weekend at Broadway/AMC theaters which should see it stumble more than 50%.

So, will MH cross 10m hkd?

And IO still on track to 5M USD?

[Mankatha]

The last MI film made $5.7million here....Is Rogue nation have a chance to beat it?

[Bluebomb]

So, will MH cross 10m hkd?

And IO still on track to 5M USD?

No to Monster Hunt. 10m HKD will be quite difficult unless if it posts a good hold this week. Inside Out is definitely going to pass 5m.

 

The last MI film made $5.7million here....Is Rogue nation have a chance to beat it?

Definitely.

MI5 pre-sales vs. MI4 pre-sales: 15,863 vs. 10,343 (+34.0%)

MI5 pre-sales are up 34% from MI4's pre-sales when it went head to head against Sherlock Holmes 2 in December 2011.

Excellent hold for Inside Out. I expect less than a 10% hold in admissions for today. Huge but expected drop for Ant-Man. It should do big things with walk-ins (possibly accounting for 3/4 of sales). Minions had a mediocre hold but walk-ins will take a hit from the MI5/IO combo. Average hold for Monster Hunt.

I expect MI5 to pass 60,000 admissions on both Saturday/Sunday giving it a landslide victory over the 4th installment.

Very strong for Inside Out. Mediocre for the rest of the top 5. Rest of the holdovers outside the top 5 got caught up in the MI5 carnage. Horrible for What We Do in the Shadows.

Huge bump for Mission Impossible 5. Inside Out had the best increase of the top 10 on Saturday. Yikes for Ant-Man. It was jumping up over 75% last weekend but MI5 has taken away screens but more importantly attention from it. Another weak hold for Minions. Meh for Monster Hunt.

Top 2 is doing great. Ant-Man legs are fading fast. Minions is holding on precariously but next week will be the beginning of the end. Attack on Titan had an insane increase due to more theaters holding previews on Sunday alone than both Saturday/Sunday.

Very good opening for MI5. It will be the biggest launch in the series for Ethan Hunt and his crew. After a slightly muted opening, Inside Out came back fighting with an exceptional hold. It will pass 4m by Wednesday and will pass 5m in 2 weeks time. After a very good hold last weekend, Ant-Man has been dealt a crushing blow by MI5. Its legs are getting progressively worse as the weekend goes along. 3rd straight hold in the 50's for Minions. It will end with one of the worst multipliers ever for an animation release. The hunt for HK$10m looks perilous for Monster Hunt. Broadway/AMC will have to start cutting showtimes next week to make room for new openers therefore it will probably juts miss out on HK$10m.

MI5 is off to a very good start. Now it just needs to keep it up. The rest of the top 5 was underestimated. Worthy of note is Ant-Man zipping past 6m by its 18th day.

Huge coup for Inside Out. It looks like it's headed for 15,000 admissions for the day. Meanwhile, that is a surprising loss for MI5 even with the favorable weekdays for IO. Walk-ins should be very fierce though and it could hit 26,000 today. Minions and Ant-Man swapped places but they will reverse by final admissions.

Harsh drop for MI5 even with summer weekdays. Wonderful hold for Inside Out. Best hold from Sunday of the top 5. Slightly better week-to-week holds for Ant-Man, Minions and Monster Hunt than Sunday's.

MI5 did not have a good hold from Thursday's admissions. Well done Inside Out. Ant-Man and Minions both did ordinary numbers. Perhaps Monster Hunt is slowing down just a bit.

Superb increases for the top 2. OK increase for Ant-Man. Poor increase for Minions.
