Tbh there is no Frozen without Wicked.
Not just Frozen. Disney ripped off Wicked like...5 times over the past decade.
And if you want to be that guy, there's no Joker without Wicked, but the dudebros don't want you to say that.

Have a sneaking suspicion Disney Adults could turn this into a Barbenheimer-style event, since Moana and Wicked are basically the same type of movie that this kind of fandom loves.

So when I said "u/AgentCooper315 is saying 620M+ DOM for IO2" it is productive for the conversation because it's a projection for where the movie will end up and that specific user is credible, and it isn't just "random X user was correct about Y."
That's why I don't understand why JustLurking quoted me with some "nobody care about this rando on Reddit" energy and complained about it considering that comment was adding to the conversation
Look, I don't know who this is AgentCooper dude is, but I fail to see how some guy on Reddit is "credible" or his words are gospel or makes him extra special. That's what people find annoying about it. I don't think we need to see what some random guy is predicting for a movie, when we already have plenty of that from our actual posters. So no, I don't think that is productive. I know you think it is, but everybody else doesn't. So...yeah, at least just try to cut back on it.

Garfield drop only 49% from last Friday. With some help from father day, the movie will avoid 60% collapse against IO2. Now it really have chance to hit 100m.
A lot of drive-ins near me have Garfield as the second movie paired up with Inside Out 2, so that likely helped it get a nice boost from dropping further, at least compared to the bigger fall IF recieved.

Alright fine. But is it ok that, if I do want to refer to r/boxoffice or whatever, I'll do it more sparingly and only bring in more insightful news? For example, somebody on r/boxoffice said that IO2 is headed for 58M+ admissions which is right ahead of The Lion King 2019, stuff like that can I repost here?
I mean...sure. It's actually productive to the conversation, so I guess that is acceptable.

Hot take, but I feel like we could see a Barbenheimer thing going on with Moana 2 and Wicked, albeit on a smaller scale. Like when it comes to non-Disney properties, Disney Adults are obsessed with Wicked. Broadway in general I suppose, but Wicked is a big one that audience loves to pieces. I can totally see something where Disney Adults watch both movies that same holiday weekend and make an event out of it. It's just a combination of two things they already love back to back.

Yeah, sure nobody cares about one of the most knowledgeable users on the best subreddit of the best social media website of all time 🙄
Yes. We don't care.
I'm sorry to break the news to you. I understand you're very passionate about r/boxoffice. I know there are a ton of users in there you love to pieces. But this kind of stuff has gotten on folks' nerves and doesn't add much of anything. Plus, is this kind of idolization of random Redditors who got a few miscellaneous predictions right over how much money a silly kids movie made really something you have to do? Is it truly such an incredible, astonishing feat that you have to push these random users down our throats? Maybe I'm missing something here, but I don't think that's the case.
Now you aren't breaking any rules, so I guess you can do this, if you really think it's more important than breathing that you have to share random Reddit users on here and what they have to say about some silly kids movies, despite everybody on here being annoyed or tired by it. But I hope you recognize that people are starting to get fed up with you every time you do it.

I had a dream last night that this got a B Cinemascore, and everybody was freaking out, figuring out what could have happened.
You better believe when I woke up, I darted right to their website just to make sure

When Mufasa outgrosses sonic 3, no-one will be shocked outside the residents of BOT
Well I do think Mufasa will outgrows it WW

I mean I'm here thinking 50M+ would be impressive for Mufasa. Will certainly be an interesting weekend in terms of folks' expectations.

Maybe I'm being a bit TOO optimistic here, but hear me out...
I think Disney seeing how massive IO2 is could demonstrate to them the value of CREATING ip. Sure, right now they are mining old IP, but at the same time, Inside Out is a relatively new IP compared to the stuff they usually mine. Seeing how popular these original films can become if they are truly beloved can hopefully incentivize them to focus on creating new IP in the future.
You’re adorable. Wrong! But adorable.

Prolly seeing IO 2 with the missus tomorrow night, but it just dawned on me that this will be the first $100m+ OW grosser I watch where I didn't even see the trailer for haha. Excited to see a critically acclaimed blockbuster with absolutely no knowledge on anything (I guess this is where I log off until after the screening).
Nice to see the box office healthy again; hopefully a signal for things to come 🤞
YOU’RE MARRIED WHAT

I thought Barbie and Oppenheimer have good walk-ups.
Also, Inside Out skew towards Black/Hispanic? That's insteresting. I've always thought its main audience was white.
There can be exceptions of course, but this is a general rule of thumb.
And yeah, it's not confirmed confirmed, but Pixar movies typically perform well in Latin America, I believe Inside Out 2 is performing well in Hispanic-skewing areas according to the tracking team, and animated movies typically overindex on Hispanic viewership for whatever reason. Caucasians will likely still be the biggest demo percentage-wise, but I'm assuming it'll be somewhere in the 30s.

Big Hero 6 has the vibes where it was a big hit when it came out, but I never see anybody talking about it anymore. Like all the other Revival movies have people still making references to it, toys being sold, rumblings online. But I think the last time I ever saw somebody talk about Big Hero 6 out there in the wild was probably like...7 years ago? Guess part of it is just that Marvel fans have bigger, more exciting things to gush over? I dunno.

Cars 2 is so weirdly ableist for a kids movie when you really think about it lol

Didn’t people say the same thing about The Fall Guy? I feel a lot of films in the past year were supposed to have some sort of walkups, but they just never manifested.
IO2 is also a different beast, it’s only really comparable to something like Kung Fu Panda 4 ramping up at the last minute.
I just don’t see where the interest, let alone excitement, is for Twisters. At least not yet. Or why we should assume a bunch of flyover state people or whatever you want to call them will show up in droves at the last minute.
I think the one thing that has been consistent, and I'm sure the tracking team can correct me if I'm wrong, is that movies that skew more white typically have bad walk-ups. Elvis, Indiana Jones, Fall Guy, Furiosa, Flower Moon. I think even Top Gun didn't really have big walk-ups.
By contrast, stuff skewed more towards Black/Hispanic viewers typically have bigger walk-ups. So GxK, Equalizer, Creed, Apes, Minions, Kung Fu Panda, Inside Out, etc.
So yeah. Not a great sign for Twisters, though I believe the consensus is it should still cross 40M at least, maybe even 50M. That's still fine.
