Discount Tuesday gon be discount Tuesday on one hand.

 

HOLY FUCKING SHIT THIS JUST EMBARASSED THE GOOD DINOSAUR AND EVEN ZOOTOPIA on the other.

 

Which side to take?

[filmlover]

Amazing start. $80M+ 5-day is probably the minimum.

[Ezen Baklattan]

Considering how The Good Dinosaur made $1.3m....That is a VERY good number.

[Heretic]

Damn, Moana is gonna be huge. 

[Mojoguy]

DAMN! That's huge for Moana!

Good job, Disney!

[druv10]

Massive start. It has a chance at 100M 5 days.

[FilmBuff]

This baby looks like it's headed to 300 mil easily. 

 

Disney wins again.

 

Domimating the animation market, with MCU, and Star Wars!

 

I have a feeling Disney's total gross for the year won't be touched for a long time.

Walt Disney is reporting that their latest Thanksgiving animation release drew $2.6M last night from previews starting at 7pm, beating a slew of previous preview nights for their feature tunes including Zootopia‘s Thursday night ($1.7M), Big Hero Six ($1.4M), The Good Dinosaur (which had a Tuesday night preview record of $1.3M) as well as Frozen ($1.2M). The latter ice sister princess movie remains the 5-day Thanksgiving day opening champ with $93.59M.

The $150 million-budgeted

.

comparisons, Universal and Illumination’s Despicable Me 2 earned $4.7 million via Tuesday previews towards a jaw-dropping $83m Fri-Sun frame and $143m five-day debut over the July 4th, 2013 weekend. That’s not going to happen here, but since that’s the record for a Wed-Sun animated debut of this nature, I thought I’d throw it in.

.

But, with the wind unquestionably blowing in the right direction, maybe we are looking at a $100 million+ five-day opening for Walt Disney’s newest adventure. Heck, a multiplier like The Good Dinosaur gets it to $113m by Sunday.

Good News: Moana did damn well and I plan to see it on Friday.

Bad News: My club may be dead.

[Dingdong123]

[titanic2187]

[Mango]

So double The Good Dinosaur. Wonder where it can go from here.

[Morieris]

C'mon, let's break some records! 

[Jayhawk the Hutt]

Damn, that's fantastic. Although it may be tough to tell with cheap Tuesday/odd preview history for Thanksgiving just how great this # is.

I, for one, welcome our new Disney overlords.
