Should we merge this thread to Minions thread cause they look similar.?

[Neo]

Because it's still two years away and anybody who wants to talk about the franchise can use the Minions thread to do so

Oops. For a minute thought this was the Minions thread.

[Asyulus]

TS4 won't do 1 billion either :Lil:

What the.

TS3 made 1.063 billion back in 2010.

[Ethan Hunt]

What the.

TS3 made 1.063 billion back in 2010.

By that logic:

Dead Man's Chess made made 1.066 billion in 2006, so Dead Men Tell no Tales will obviously do 2 Billion

[Asyulus]

I just watched the third Minions trailer and it sounds amazing, $900M WW is in play.

[SchumacherFTW]

Oops. For a minute thought this was the Minions thread.

Pretty much what the public is thinking for The Minions to be honest.

[MrFanaticGuy34]

This is a pretty good animated franchise to talk about how the films did so far.

DM1 made $543M WW. DM2 made a staggering $970M WW.

And now in a few days, we'll get the Minions movie. If that film breaks out WW to the $1B WW mark, it would bode more well for DM3.

And since China's markets is far bigger than its ever been, an absolute over $1B WW for DM3, is like a walk in the park.

[Asyulus]

Even DM3 could still surpass Frozen WW.

$1b WW locked.

[MrFanaticGuy34]

If there is some animated movies that could beat Frozen WW, it could be this or Finding Dory.

I think the DM franchise is at its peak right now. Not sure how strong the brand will be running in two years.

I think DM3 will decline from Minions and DM2. The mixed WOM that Minions might have an effect not to mention competition from Toy Story 4

DOM-wise, yeah. Probably. But WW-wise?.....China is on a hot streak, so it has a chance to increase.

 

But we have to wait how Minions performs.

[DAJK]

FIFY

[Asyulus]

Remember some people are saying before Furious 7 the franchise is near-peaked, and look how it made enormous money.

[Asyulus]

DOM-wise, yeah. Probably. But WW-wise?.....China is on a hot streak, so it has a chance to increase.

 

But we have to wait how Minions performs.

Minions could do $160-180m area in China, thats very huge.

Well it certainly didn't hurt that one of your main characters died in real life.

[MrFanaticGuy34]

I think DM3 could stabilize DOM. Probably around $305-330M....unless.....if its an great sequel, like "HTTYD2"-great...it could have the potential to make more.

But by then..I'm sticking with $305M minimum. DM2 could be the peak, DOM-wise.

WW, though...is another story. I think it could top DM2, easily. With China.

[Asyulus]

Well it certainly didn't hurt that one of your main characters died in real life.

Even if Paul Walker didn't die, Fast 7 will still do $1b.

[CJohn]

Even if Paul Walker didn't die, Fast 7 will still do $1b.

No, no it wouldn't  

[MrFanaticGuy34]

No, no it wouldn't

Didn't the franchise still had Vin Diesel to rely on? I think by this point, he has become a reliable box office draw.
