Even if it misses $350m, it's still a gigantic hit for Universal though. -
I hate that fact and unfortunately it's not uncommon at all with animated movies, especially Pixar films, to be released here pretty late. Same with Finding Dory, which won't open here until late September next year.
-
I have to admit though that i haven't seen Titanic for quite a while. Need to rewatch it soon.
-
I really like JW and IMO it's better than Avatar and nearly on par with TA, but not as good as Titanic. I like all four, though.
-
Ethan just died inside.

A high-50s opening for Ant-Man is fine, especially considering its relatively low budget. It's not like it cost $200m+ to make. People expecting GOTG numbers for it were just begging to be disappointed IMO.
-
Hateful 8 won't come anywhere near 300m. Westerns aren't that big anymore, even Django Unchained closed around 160m. That's the highest I can see H8 going tbh.
-
Same will happen with Star Wars after it peaks with TFA.
-
IMO Ant-Man is performing right in line with most expectations, meaning an OW between $60-70m. That would be pretty good for a no-name character like this. You can't expect GOTG numbers for every "original" MCU movie.
-
Man, that's not a good drop for Minions. I know we should at least wait and see how the weekend Plays out, but maybe WOM for Minions really isn't good.

Wednesday: Minions 11.1, IO 2.6, JW 2.2

And it will pass 300m this weekend. -
Tuesday Actuals: Minions 16.84 | IO 3.29 | JW 2.79 (Page 8)

Stop it! Using common sense is not allowed here. -
Yes, because word-of-mouth likely would have been the same as it is now. I think there's definitely a chance if it's great, but it's certainly not locked and not even likely IMO.
-
And 18 days faster than Avengers. Just another prove that JW is a beast.
-
And it could still possibly sink Titanic domestically, though that seems a bit more unlikely now than last week.
-
Tele couldn't have asked for a better birthday present.
-
I'm about to see the movie to find out whether that's true or not. EDIT: Well, spontaneous change of plans. Won't see this today, but tomorrow.
-
So no record for Minions then. I guess Saturday decreasing from Friday minus previews shows its frontloadedness. I don't see it having much more than a 3X tbh. Still, 300m+ is a great result for any animated movie, espeically a spinoff.
-
We don't know that. Dory may be the main character, but I highly doubt they won't have Marlin and Nemo there, too.
-
I don't know about Bond, Skyfall seems to have been the perfect storm. 50 year anniversary of the franchise + Olympics + epic theme song. Spectre won't have any of that (except maybe theme song since I don't know who's doing it).
-
Tbh, I was in denial about Minions hitting 100m OW and I thought most members here were overpredicting it. Apparently not though. I still don't think it'll beat Shrek 3's record, but who knows.
-
At this point, I really don't see a scenario in which Minions misses $250m. The Minions are the main atrraction of the DM franchise for most people, which means it'll do better than most spin-offs.
-
I don't know if that's an unpopular opinion, but I think Bruce Almighty is quite underrated. It's actually one of my favorite Jim Carrey movies. Evan Almighty on the other hand...
