  1. Avatar held first that long. Aladdin didn't open #1, but did rise to take first in its sixth wide weekend.
  2. DM2 is also opening in China soon, so the total Frozen will need will be close to or beyond 600 OS.
  3. CoS had a 27% drop. Treasure Planet had a 25% drop. I think we're probalby looking at a range of 20.8-21.6 for the weekend, depending on if the Sunday drop is closer to 25% (TP) or 35% (Wild Thornberries.)
  4. No, but neither of those has 1980s Spaceman With A Broken Helmet as a character, so...
  5. Kids perk up considerably whenever the trailer shows in front of Frozen. And it gets really good response from adults, too.
  6. If Frozen does manage to take first next weekend, it's going to be in exceptionally rare company: films that didn't open #1 and then managed to take the spot three times. It looks like in the past decade, only The Help has managed to do that. (Opened #2, and then took first the following three weekends.)
  7. I think it really depends on how Lone Survivor performs. If it gets anything close to the response Zero Dark Thirty or Act of Valor got, it's probably looking at a 20 million opening. That probably will edge out Frozen which is probably looking at 15-17 million. However, who knows how Frozen will hold, and LS could open a bit lower than that, which could shake things up.
  8. The Wolf of Warcraft. I could see Scorscese directing that. Also, am I the only one who thinks of Robert Wagner whenever I see the words "Wolf of Wall Street"?
  9. I don't, particularly. I liked the first half of the original film, but found the second half very pedestrian. I found the second film to be excessively annoying, and never bothered to check out any others in the series. Really, Dreamworks didn't have a decent film until Kung Fu Panda, and even that had some issues.
  10. Heh, I wasn't even thinking about stuff on the Disney Channel. I used to watch it as background noise when I was working nights, mostly to see Kim Possible. My co-worker and I had some fun discussion how we were completely not the target market for the shows they had, for the most part. I've no idea what it's like, now.
  11. While being quite a bit better than OUaT, to boot. For a company that has some pretty on-the-ball feature production divisions, Disney's television units sure do churn out aggressively mediocre shows.
  12. Looks like Frozen's in line for a 21-22 million weekend with that number. It could hit 23, if the actual is higher or it gets a pretty robust (over 30%) bump on Saturday. Looking at comparables from Jan 2003, it seems like the Sunday drops were pretty muted.

  14. I may finally see Catching Fire tomorrow. May go see Frozen again, too.
  15. Yeah, I realized you probably meant that after posting. Disney was already pushing in that regard (cancled 2D production after Home on the Range underperformed), but it's clear that the quality didn't start bumping up until Lasseter was able to take over as CCO and start pushing things forward. I -think- Bolt was the first film he had an effect on. It's really weird that while WDAS has had this ramp of quality from his assignment, Pixar's pretty much stayed flat at best. Too much for one man to do, perhaps?
