Is there a Mexican website with charts in Pesos? Or even better admissions?

None that i know of, sorry.

Yeah, that's the source for the one posted above. But I couldn't find any archives. Do they just update that main page?

WOW, 2D tickets for Toy Story 3 beat the 3D one..$ 99,877,921 vs. $ 86,500,166

That could be because of 2D/3D screen count, so maybe it's not a weird thing. Maybe other major 3D releases had a similar ratio.

Clash Of The Titans

1. FURIA DE TITANES WKD$46,221,696 CUM$46,221,696
2. FURIA DE TITANES 3D WKD$42,217,110 CUM$42,217,110

Alice after 2 weekends

2. ALICIA 2D WKD$29,428,770 CUM$91,114,306

Last night's (Friday) sessions were very good for TOy Story 3, most of them around 90% full including most of the last sesssions around 9pm. It should have a wonderful day today.

It's currently 1pm, Saturday, already the 2pm sessions are already over 50% full.

and the ticket is very expensive for Mexico's standards.

Currently Saturday 7pm, looks like's it's been performing quite consistenly through the day, most of the 7-7:30pm sessions are 90% regardless of cinema size. I'm expecting an opening around $9-$10.5m.

Shrek 4 is also performing in a similar amount of theatres (though probably not as much) and doing comparably worse. It's fizzing quite rapidly and at this rate, will probably fail to hit $30m.

Sunday around 12pm now, most early afternoon sessions are around 70-80%, not quite a match for yesterday but it's doing quite well.

On a side note, Twilight's sessions have been released already. It opens here next week against The Karate Kid on Thursday....if TKK's performance in Asia is anything to go by, it's going to be one hell of a week with Twilight sure to challenge New Moon's record opening (now with kids out on school holidays)....coupled with what will surely be a strong hold for TS3 and you may have 3 movies above $4m. The movie which i think will be lost in the shuffle is Shrek 4, which hasn't exactly set the market on fire.

Hope it gets a nice hold here in Mexico. It didnt get any big time major releases, we just got Oceans and a Spanish movie i never heard of and a few others in limited release (Youth in Revolt, The Grudge 3)

The Grudge 3?, who saw this coming?

Well, it had some nice weekdays, now sitting at $ 302,074,260 when its OW was $ 186,378,087. (excluding IMAX which accounted for $4.4m)

That would mean something like US$24.5m, which would have put it at #3 for 2009 after just one week.

Is this Mexico?

Yeah.

That would be just enough to stay in front of Spiderman 3....but it'll be falling back into the pack...

Spiderman 3 - $23,353,947 ($6,118,161, -49%)
Ice Age 3: Dawn Of The Dinosaurs - $22,329,834 ($6,255,397, -31.7%)
Spiderman - $18.7m ($5.3m, -41%)
Harry Potter 5: OOTP - $18,263,093 ($3,257,864/ 35,144,208 Pesos, -58%)
Ice Age 2: The Meltdown - $18,054,173 ($5,311,969/ 58,909,736 Pesos, -39%)
Shrek 2 - $18,009,561 ($6,648,194, -35%)
Shrek 3 - $17,483,241 ($3,935,151, -56.8%)

What I meant was as of Thursday. Not including second weekend at all. Just the first week.

SM3 had $17.2m after its first week.

You can view the weekly figures at Canacine, but they don't archive their stuff so you'd have to view it before the 2nd weekend numbers come on.

That would then mean that it's blitzing the competition

This from Variety....

"........The toon added $36.1 million over the weekend from 35% of the international market, boosting foreign totals to $100 million........"
