to suggest Secret Life of Pets has the same level of reception as Shrek is just ridiculous. adjust the ticket prices, Pets is just under 400M, Shrek 2 is 650M. Shrek is just another level. It's like comparing Hunger Games to Avengers. You are correct that the majority of animated films have bigger OWs in the sequel but that's just less likely at higher openings. If a film starts off with a dampened OW then it gets watched and rewatched, then the sequel comes out and the OW is bigger - that makes sense. But when it already starts with a huge opening, it is less likely to increase. If you look at animated films that opened above 80M adjusted: Madagascar 2 - 80M, 2.85x Madagascar 3 - 68M Cars - 84M, 4.07x Cars 2 - 75M Alvin 2 - 91M, 2.85x / 3-day 59M, 4.41x Alvin 3 - 27M Ice Age 2 - 95M, 2.87x Ice Age 3 - 82M / 3-day 51M Monsters Inc - 101M, 4.08x Monsters Uni - 90M Finding Nemo - 107M, 4.83x Finding Dory - 142M Despicable Me 2 - 168M, 2.57x / 3-day 98M, 4.41x Minions - 129M Minions - 129M, 2.9x Despicable Me 3 - 74M Shrek 2 - 191M, 3.42x / 3-day 160M, 4.08x Shrek 3 - 162M Shrek 3 - 162M, 2.65x Shrek 4 - 83M That's all the ones I can find, and every single one of them, with the exception of Finding Nemo, decreased in OW in the sequel.

12 March? That's a Monday. So it will have a 7-day opening, which will boost its OW gross!

The holds are really really impressive. And these aren't like tiny numbers that are staying flat. £2M every weekend is a strong number, and it just keeps going and going. There are singalong showings selling out everywhere, two months into release, that is crazy. I heard on the radio a few weeks ago that Fox says it's the first movie ever to reach #1 in its 6th weekend.

Yep. Only needs 20M to get to 20x, kind of inevitable at this point. The run its having here in the UK is insane. W1: £2.5M (6-day opening), #3 W2: -7%, #3 W3: -27%, #4 W4: -2%, #4 W5: -3%, #4 W6: +6%, #1 W7: -13%, #2 W8: -1%, #3 So it's gone from a 6-day holiday opening of £2.5M, to a weekend 8 of £1.92M. It's now bordering £30M. For perspective, Jumanji is at £37M. £30M is equivalent to about $300M if it was in the US. Crazy crazy numbers.

I completely forgot about Mute, yes it's released on 23rd. As with most Netflix movies, no press screenings(?) so reviews just come out after it's made available. And Annihilation is on Netflix on 12 March, not 23 Feb.

Jumanji will not reach 390M (GOTG2) this weekend, it would have to increase from last weekend, and I see no reason why it would do that.

It will be Netflix only, like the rest of Netflix movies.

I don't want to hear that.... BR2049 was a pretentious snore of a film. I was so bored and if I'd not been with my family would probably have actually walked out. It is so boring.

I'll make do with my 640p 4-inch iphone it will be just as good.

And I'm just giving you my opinion.

it was sarcastic. I guess sarcasm doesn't come across well on the internet. I am not that fussed by being told something

SPOILERS! Investigating what? I dont' want to know what this movie is about! Stop talking, numbers!!

dude spoiler? I didn't even know it had an all female cast. All I know is that its made by Alex Garland and stars Natalie Portman, and I only know this from the thread title.

watched footloose last night, I had forgotten how rubbish it is. love it.

okay, that's not gonna happen. Black Panther is not going to make 760M

one negative review. 94% on RT now: https://www.themarysue.com/review-annihilation-natalie-portman-gina-rodriguez-tessa-thompson/ Then again it's a feminist website so feel free to dismiss it....

all the money in the world was rubbish, completely lacked any kind of tension, and the most sympathetic character was the hostageer (kidnapper? terrorist? definitely hostageer) all over the place and quite boring, bad performances from most of the cast and a waste of time on the part of the production, in terms of the reshoots etc.

Logan Lucky is great fun. Really liked Disaster Artist, though I don't really think of it as a comedy per se. haven't seen the others

Wow. that is amazing. It's almost like its second week was the week after christmas.

TOMATOMETER 100% Average Rating: 8.8/10 Reviews Counted: 16 Fresh: 16 Rotten: 0

anyone know when it releases on Netflix? read somewhere it's 3 weeks after US release? presumably in order to combat piracy while the film plays in the US cinemas. it doesn't have a page on Netflix so cant find much info.

well it needs a 100M OW if it's going to open to 100M which is the point of this thread

Wednesday numbers? This day 8 years ago, Avatar grossed $1,202,184! Only a -4.8% drop from Tuesday. Excellent numbers for 10 weeks into the run, hopefully it doesn't drop tomorrow.

Well he's presumably talking about the same market where it will have grossed $300M... which do you think he's talking about?

saw this the other day, thought it was fab. one thing that really bothers me though, how come all the characters do like 5 lines of coke one after another? like I feel like at least someone on the production must be familiar with it and know that's not how you do coke. that really annoyed me. apart from that its fucking fantastic, but that really took me out of it.
