1B is out of reach. I mean, 600M OS? It may happen if it breaks out bigtime on China and Japan, but I wouldn't count on it. Plus 400M dom is a bit too far.I'm currently predicting about 880M-900M WW. 360M dom + 520-540M OS.
Impressive numbers this week! Although holidays are over and therefore box office will slow down a lot, I hope this can get past 400M OS next weekend. Not an easy job though.
But McFarland is opening at the same time with Mockingjay, and also just a week before Dreaworks' Home. So I doubt it'd would be a good move.But honestly, Disney should've dated this at Thanksgiving in the first place. I'm actually glad they already got all Thanksgiving dates until 2018 (except for this 2014 movie). Well let's just hope this opens big while Home somehow underperforms.
Finally some news. This is definitely meeting the release date, probably also the reason why Chris Williams was brought to co-direct. Much like why Jennifer Lee was asked to co-direct Frozen iirc.

I still can't believe they're leaving 2015 and 2017 empty of WDAS film. Yeah we're getting to in 2016 and 2018, but I'd still prefer a film once a year!
I think it already opened it Norway. Not sure though. Well, nordic countries don't really pull very big numbers, so even if it smashes there, I doubt it'll be big relative to the obviously large markets, hence the lack of numbers yet.
This is facing stiff competition with Interstellar opening on the same date. But I believe it can stand on its own given the different demographic targets of the two movies.
And I need some first look on the characters!! We had one for Frozen before 2012 ended!
