Also, this is taking the Sing spot.

 

It is, but this time, there's Jumanji...

I loved Ferdinand when I was a kid.  Disney did the story in about 8 minutes so I hope Blue Sky translates it well into feature length and that it's as charming as their Peanuts was.

Maybe we'll get a trailer at Boss Baby. Definitely won't do as well as SING but being a mid range hit is very possible.

I think that doing well as Sing is a possibility.

 

As I said, the source material might resonate really well with people.

18/150 is my guess for now.  Should have insane legs obviously being a Christmas release.  I basically just took NATM's multi (another family Christmas release movie released on Friday, Dec. 22) with a smaller OW gross to match what I think the final total will be.

My grandmother gave me a copy of the book when I was three. She had owned it since my mom was a child. Hopefully this adaptation will stay faithful to the spirit of the original.

Now it's opening against Star Wars.

[kayumanggi]

lol at Fox.

It can be either good counter-programming or it could be a death wish.

Alvin 4 did $85M when it opened against TFA. Ferdinand will either do the same or perhaps better.

I think It's a clear case that Ferdinand could do better than Alvin 4, if It's as good as some of the other Blue-Sky animated films.

 

And just because a blockbuster-movie (original or sequel, animated or live action) opens against a Star Wars-related movie on the same date or close to it....doesn't necessarily mean that Star Wars will completely destroy those said blockbusters.

 

I mean, look at Sing. That film is doing great despite going against Rogue One. And that's on It's way to around $265-270M or over that. Even Fantastic Beasts, Doctor Strange & Moana is doing really well around $231-241M DOM.

 

So i think Ferdinand will do fairly well. Probably around Rio/Horton business.

Depends on Jumanji, I think Rio numbers is doable

As Jonwo said previously it depends on Jumanji which I think against TLJ will be the Sing to Rogue One and Ferdinand will be a bigger Passengers (Around the $100M-$120M range).

Very true enough.

[franfar]

My prediction for now is 35/160

 

Blue Sky has a solid track record, and this will be counterprogramming against SW

I was going to make a $220m dom club for this, but then I realized that it has the exact same release date as Star Wars 8, and Jumanji took the Wednesday spot.

 

Maybe if I really like the trailer I'll go through with it.

Why $220M?

The subject matter could resonate with people. It's kind of timely.

I understand that but why exactly $220M, why not $200M or $250M? Seems kind of odd to me personally.

Higher than $200m, lower than $250m. Adventurous, but not too adventurous.
