Competition is a good thing. Competition evolving the animation industry for the better. The variation of different animated flicks is better now than ever. For every Pixar/Dreamworks-ripoff, there are innovative flicks which will inspire for the future.

I have never taken the Cars flicks seriously as they were doomed from the very start. Even during the production of the first flick it got naysayers.
I know the appeal for the small boys and toddlers. Lasseter still has the spirit of a toddler and the talent to keep it. He had been able to catch that during the production of the first film. I understand why they keep making these films, too bad these films have the Pixar-brand.

Passing 1B is fine to me. No film in this summer could avoid the horrifying impact of Brexit. However, releasing FD so close to SLOP did hurt alot... Switching release date with another Pixar-flick like Coco could not work either because of competition from Justice League and SW VIII.
Edit* The only disappointing thing about FD for me so far is the really late release date in Sweden (26 September). As I have to wait and avoid spoilers for more than three months.

That's great to see that one of my favorite movies of 2015 (Also one of the best of 2015 in general) is doing so well WW. The massive opening in China was indeed expected for all the reasons above, especially how well the Chinese were pretreated in this flick. With remaining holds from China and Japan on the horizon I can expect around 630M~680M WW finish.

Ohh damn, I hope not this disaster will lead to layoffs. Alot of ambitious and hardworking animators/writers will lose their jobs if TGD will be Pixars very first financial flop.
We can only pray for a miracle which is amazing WOM and holds. Sadly that's may not be the case.
Edit: But still. I'm excited for this flick for the glorious backdrop and how Arlos and Spots relationship will fare. The quality may be at the Brave/MU-level, but I have to see it in January before I can judge if this flick deserve the Swedish seal of quality.

My mother: "I hate it."EDIT: I feel like a moron but how the hell do I post a photo so it actually appears? Goddamn it, this is irritating.
Above the ''Submit Post-button'', click on the ''Insert other media'', then click ''Insert image from URL'' and paste the URL. Now you are done! :)
(Ontopic) This will indeed be huge OS, but how will it fare against FD and Pets? They will be really big too during the summer.

Breakout characters who doesn't have much english dialogue translate really well in the OS-markert. Also as you all already said having talking animals and being culturally-natural is also a major factor. Disney and Pixar are more aimed for America, Japan and most of Europe as the rest of the world hasn't socialite with disney through history. So IA and maybe Madagascar are the nostalgic CGI-franchise in the OS-market as much Toy Story are hailed as THE CGI-franchise in America, Japan and the motherland of Scandinavia.
EDIT:(Wow, I'm really are such of a ego...)

The theory that IO may could pass the Minions Total DOM is beyond great! IO has shown phenomenal legs as that flick still doing well after the nuclear disaster of the banana's 115m-opener. I think the Minions take crown by total of about 350m-360m, they will be close. For me, going beyond Up's adjusted 330m DOM the goal right now!

This will be ok by virtue of being a Pixar film, how ok is the question. When people were talking about this being serious a film that came to mind for me was Life of Pi. Maybe that's kind of what they're going for with Spot being the Richard Parker and without the really depressing framing device. It has a lot of connections now that I think about it. Asian American director, Mychael Danna composing, and they even used the music in the teaser
If Sohn will get all of that right and make it unique in its own right, this will be really good. Life of Pi is one of the better films in 2012 in my opinion, so I hope the soundtrack will be great aswell. There is still an issue Im worrying about...
This flicks synopsis make it sound this will be very similar to Land Before Time. If so thats will hurt the flicks alot, but we still doesn't know that will be facts until the flicks release. Thats just a theory.

What do you mean by more serious? I don't typically think of Pixar flicks as silly lighthearted affairs
Maybe he mean more serious in ''Pixar standards''. Like if TGD will be Pixars own Princess Mononoke. TGD will get a decent OW about 70-90 thanks to the goodwill of JW and IO indeed. But if this will be another ''Pixar failure'' like Brave. The WOM will collapse and SW7 will hurt it even more then aswell.
My predictions so far:
If TGD will be great as usual Pixar standards: DOM 270m-320m OS 500m WW 770m-820m
If TGD will be ''Pixar bad'' as Brave/Cars: DOM 200-220 OS 250-300 WW 450m-520m

Minions feels like the perfect strike of comedy that's obviously appealing to mass audiences, but has just enough wit and charm to appeal to even critics and more discerning film fans. The minions offer something for everyone. People underestimate how hard that is to pull off with a comedy.
This! Sorry for double-post.

I can see what you're getting at, but even with the "come for Gru stay for the minions" I believe those who came for Gru will also show up for the minions. So agree to disagree?
Sure, the Minions did played a big role for the hype for the first film. But if the audience will come back solely for the Minions, there has to be something new and exciting about this upcoming flick instead to rehash the same formula of the two first films. Or as you said, something like ''franchise fatigue'' for the domestic market will happend (like what happend to Shrek and Ice Age). The OS-market will indeed love the Minions and the Ice Age-flicks, not becase the executives make them to adept these flicks for the executives flavor. But because the OS-market see these flicks as we see the Toy Story-flicks. They had just not experienced the influences of Disney in the same way as we had in the past decades though the mickey mouse-shorts, the golden age, the renaissance, Toy Story's release and so on until Frozen got released. Thats how the OS-market will adore the recent animated blockbusters with recordbreaking box office numbers. The audience from the whole world are more open-minded than what the executives in Hollywood are.

Do you watch movies high? I'm being serious if you watched transformers 4 and thought it was a good movie I question your sanity
Hes maybe was sarcastic? Thats really impressive that Michael Bay have the talent to make $1B with flicks as cringeworthy as animated knock-offs. Really impressive... At least the creators of the animated titanic knock-offs are really jealous of these Box Office numbers right now.

I honestly believe that Minions could be the peak of this franchise WW. The minions are the stars, I don't think a whole ton of people come for Gru an the girls. Sure they are nice additions of course but it really is the Minion show.
As long as franchise fatigue doesn't set in by 2017, I don't expect DM3 to have a HUGE decrease from Minions.
Maybe an really unpopular opinion here, but maybe the other characters affecting the franchise more than many here think. Sure, the Minions are indeed the breakout characters and the face of the DM-franchise, but that flick is still a spin-off not an actual sequel to DM2. Also note that the audience came for the story about the supervillains transformation into a good father in the first film for the first place. I agree that the majority of the audience stayed for the Minions. I do not think The Minions-flick will do more than DM2 worldwide, but as much or a little less than DM2. I think the franchise will peak with DM3 if TS4 will not affecting it.

This teaser may flip the table like this little flick did.
