Yeah, if youd loosen up a bit and stop looking down on it you'd understand why this is the biggest animation franchise in the world atm.

And yet you like SW... You right now:

Maybe because it looks like the most fun animated movie in years?

It's kinda crazy to think only 5 movies made over 800m OS without China.

What a lovely... movie. How come I haven't watched this till now. Wow. Just... wow. It was... Its definitely the best movie I've seen this year. By far. What I loved the most is the sheer sense of insanity. I mean, c'mon, it makes you wanna fuckin scream. And the soundtrack is god-ish. A+ Tele should be happy.

Because its Lionsgate we're talking about, a small studio that got suddenly catapulted to the level of the Big 6, beating some of them constantly in the last few years thanks to the discovery of some mega-franchises: Twilight, Hunger Games. And now those are almost done. They don't have a choice. Plus, with the home release and TV rights they should still make a profit.

Yeah, Ted 2 seems like it will be huge here too. I has better presales than JW.

Just went for groceries and saw Minions cereals, Tic-Tac and even Ice Cream. Also, yesterday, my gym trainer was wearing a Minions tank top and he's 30 something.

Was there a holiday on Monday in most markets? Because if Tue is 13m, then it means the Monday was 34m, which I think is bigger than it's first Monday. Even including China, it's still abnormally big.

I said here, meaning in my country.

WEEKEND BOX-OFFICE Students finishsing the exam period and bad weather this past weekend finally gave us good drops and a good weekend in this shit Summer (seriously, it is horrible; no title this Summer, except for maybe 'Age of Ultron', made the audiences go WOW; we'll have to wait for 'Minions' and 'Mission Impossible' to save the situation; MI5 is lock to win this summer by far. - Jurassic World eased 17% in it's second outing and reached a very good $675k after 10 days (it entered Top 10 for 2015). Assuming sunny days don't completely kill it, it should finish with at least $1.1m, which was pretty much my prediction for it at the beginning of the year. - In second place, Inside Out debuted with 29.919 admissions and $151k. That would not sound so bad if it wouldn't be the widest release in history by far (121 screens), ahead of 'Big Hero 6's 108 screens. I really don't get how Disney/Pixar are so incapable of marketing a movie here. Like, every single animation from them which is not a princess movie either disappoints or bombs in the worst possible way (the 'Toy Story' trilogy and 'Monster University' are still memorable for their utterly shit runs). Still, it is a family movie, so it might have good drops in the next two weeks, until 'Minions' comes out and annihilates it. - Insidious: Chapter 3 nearly doubled the last entry in the series, but it still bombed with 13.726 admissions and $59k. - San Andreas incresed 5% in it's fourth weekend and reached $548k, demonstrating very good legs after it's not very impressive opening. - Entourage dropped 34% from its opening weekend and now stands at $126k. - Spy increased a big 34% but the cume is a middling $181k. - Ex Machina flopped. It made only $26k over the 3-day weekend. - Mad Max: Fury Road continues to be an audience favourite. In it's 6th outing it eased a light 11% and reached a great $844k. - Survivor placed 9th. - Tomorrowland closes the top, after a 1% drop. It stands at $292k, which is pretty bad for an original SF here. Top 10 Next week's openers: - Ted 2 - La famille Belier The first 'Ted' was a hit here back in 2012, opening with 23.500 adm and $113k on it's way to a very good 125.000 adm and $520k. Expect 'Ted 2' to be bigger. An opening over 30.000 adm seems like a lock and 40.000+ adm isn't out of the question either. Top 10 for 2015 Also, Top 20 Highest Grossing Movies Ever Two 2015 movies made it into the Top 20 Ever so far: 'Fast and Furios 7' on no. 3 and 'Fifty Shades of Grey on no. 17. As for the Yearly Box Office, 2015 runs 5% ahead of 2014 in admissions, but 16% behind in USD, thanks to the horrible exchange rates.

This is too low. He's definitely one of the most morable characters ever.

Everytime I see the trailer it gets quite a bit of talking from the audience. I think it has a really good chance of beating MJ2 here.

It had a bad second weekend drop, but after that, OS at least, it had good / very good drops. -44% third weekend, -5% in it's 4th (when it opened in China, but the drop in the other territories was in the 30% area). After the 4th weekend it still added almost 170m. Overall, it had a 3x+ multipiler from OW, which is not bad at all for such a huge opener. However, DH2 had way less competition than JW is about to have: Minions (possibly 700m OS), Inside Out (possibly 400m OS), Ted 2 (300M+), Terminator (200-300M, maybe more) + Ant-Man in 3 weeks.

So a 155.5m OS weekend, a much better second weekend than DH2's 120.2m. JW OS total after 2nd wknd: 583.1m DH2 OS total after 2nd wknd: 559m Atm JW has a lead of 24.1m. DH2's second week: Mon: 18.6m (577.6m) Tue: 17.9m (595.5m) Wed: 19.5m (615m) JW is playing much more like a family movie, with very strong weekends, but weaker weak days.

Yeah, off topic but some people should really watch this.

Im not overly fond of Pixar, I hate the OT and I like the prequels (well, Ep 2 and 3 that is). So not so weird.

Im not saying it must. It's just the most similar run and I like comparing BO numbers.

I am ready to accept that with ROTS. But the rest and esp the OT. But maybe it's just my generation. Also, your tastes are questionable Also: So you like the Dark Side Baumer? Good. Very good.

Thank you!

Of course I do. They are French. So full of hate towards IO Baumer. So much hate. Nz, nz, nz.

I shouldve used this the first time Damn, what a good movie!

It was a general post directed at all the people comparing the two.
