So I did some calculations for Hilda vs CYI? as both had similar reviews and what not and Hilda is outpacing it by 3% at the same point in time at around $255M-$260M whereas CYI? was at $248M-$253M, however with Summer as well as the benefit of no competition between the stretch of STT2 and SYI?, it should cross 400M especially with the weekend it fights STT2 happens to be Mother’s Day. Hilda will likely be the biggest animated film of Y7, when all things are said and done.
