Minions already entered the All Time Top 10 in admissions and in Mexican Pesos. It's the 4th movie this year to reach that goal!! It should pass DM2 in admissions and local pesos this weekend, not yet in $ due to this year bad exchange rate
This day dollar is at MX$16.60...

TOXIC WOM, how many times do we need to repeat it?Minions at 21M that are off, it can't drop that hard on the weekend. I am more thinking about 24M for Minions.

Yep. They must respect the rules, or byebye...Americans spend millions and millions of dollars buying things "Made in China" so I think it is fair to see movies "Made in Hollywood " taking home a lot of money from Chinese people. Every country has its own rules for imported things and foreign movies also have to respect those rules.
-
Well, "ni modo"... If they don't like Chinas rules, then they shouldn't release the movie there at allSo 1b can be called a lock. Even if it releases with IO in China (oh you devil Communist Party you), it will get 55m.

+1I think we all know Minions is already a major success.
We can move on to discuss how big it can be and how well it holds up against other animations.

Lest we forget DWA has made a movie as bad as Cars 2 at least four times (Shrek 3, Bee Movie, Madagascar 2, Shark Tale, the dozen we've forgotten about).
Shrek 4

50% drop from last weekend?
-
-
How do you explain minions jumped bigger than those titles from Thursday to Friday?You're ignoring your comps. Look at Pixar movies. Look at the other Despicable Me movies. 45-50% isn't happening. It hasn't happened.

If these numbers stand correct, and if it follows DM2' %s throughout the weekend, Onions would do well under $50m

Holy chit...

And lol at some of you trying to make it look like Minions is crumbling when no one said anything when IO had a first Wednesday drop that was only 5% lighter. Minions first Tuesday hold was 6% higher, so it evens out perfectly. They're having extremely similar first week holds, which is why Minions is probably in for only a 40-45% drop this weekend like IO's 2nd weekend.
Aren't July weekdays grosses bigger than those from June? With increases from Fridays to Saturdays smaller than in June...

No wonder it broke records everywhere.Not sure if this had been posted yet:
http://adage.com/article/media/minions-600-million-publicity-spree/299434/
Over $600 million was spent on the Minions' promotional push, $593 million of which came from various companies plugging the movie.
With that budget even Home would have broken records

Fantastic #'s for Minions
-
Really DM2 sold less than one million here?
Wonderful
-
To be fair, Minions is like a sequel to a movie that made $600m overseas so that comparison is ludicrous...To be fair, Minions opened in more countries than IO.
And IO has been holding much better than Minions in Australia.

Yeah, truly nothing has touched Shrek 2's admissions in animation since. Frozen didn't even get 60% the admissions of Shrek 2 for example.
That is true, but we have to remember that we are in another era of the CGI animation movies. Before 2006, these kind of flicks were truly movie events, as proven with the fantastic admission numbers films like TS & TS2, Shk1 & Shk2, FN, MI, TI, etc... (it's beyond me Ice Age 1 did not cross the $200m mark, but that's another story...).
But in that year the animation parade came and it made these movies less eventful and that led to lower grosses, lower openings, even for movies released too wide.
While I don't like Frozen, I have to admit it is the most memorable run since Shrek 2. Doesn't need to come close to that movie's admissions, but it came awfully close to Shrek 1, Monsters Inc, TS2 and is bigger than The Incredibles and practically every animated movie since then.

Not sure why you are laughing? It is a great #! I know James will be happy when he sees it.
Oh, because with that number, Minions is locked to break the animation OW...

Shrek 3 would have broken the OW record if released one year before, and made history (biggest OW is an animation).Indeed. The average of its 3-day and 5-day opening was $118m. That adjusts to $155m today (without even putting in a little extra for 3D).
Cruddy Weekend Estimates: A-M 24.77m, Pix 24m, Minions 22m, Trainwreck 17.2m, Southpaw 16.5m, PT 12.5m,
