  1. That’s what I’m expecting to be honest, an $80M/$115M/$250M-$270M seems right on the money. Though the next two weekends will be rough on account of Pets 2 and the post Memorial Day drop.
  2. Pikachu, Aladdin and Godzilla all seem overpredicted especially the former two.
  3. The major saving grace for A2 is Sing 2 leaving December as The Croods 2 won’t do shit so it doesn’t have to worry about big counterprogramming and has no real or strong competition from November to December.
  4. I don’t see why it would go that low tbh other than Xillix doing the year. It has the advantage of being the only family friendly PG film until Toons, and as a pseudo Lord/Miller film, not expecting much OS. And looking at how good Olive The Other Reindeer helping the Shining Star Animation label and the fact that Medusa was able to benefit from lack of animated musicals as well as how big space opera films and other musical are in CAYOM, I have no reason to see why it wouldn’t cross that mark.
  5. I agree, calling for a boycott for that reason is rather silly especially when it won’t have that much of an effect and you especially don’t have to parade it all over Twitter. But I do agree with the person’s sentimence that they are disparing and condescending towards the original with those comments.
  6. It’s a dooshy way for the people behind it to dismiss the animated version even though they’ll be practically identical. That’s my personal stigma with Disney’s readaptations because they convey help (along with Illumination) the message that animation is purely for kids and live action is for grownups. I do agree that boycotting the film is stupid especially one so big it won’t really matter, and even though I dislike the film I’m not to scream so loudly on Twitter to boycott when it’s not a major issue. It kind of shows how needy for attention one can be.
  7. Carmen’s Voyage and probably Children Of Eden.
  8. Anyone else seeing Olive The Other Reindeer doing really well overseas?
  9. If it weren’t for comments like these from the people behind these movies, I wouldn’t be so harsh on these cash grab remakes
  10. This Never was going to be huge in China, it is going to be huge in Japan. The market loves musicals and the original Aladdin.
  11. The more I think about it, the more I like Spider Verse and Lego Batman as comparisons, sure both are animated but skewed more towards males and the former had strong trailer views.
  12. For my comps it is the opposite apparent from DM3, Pikachu for now is consistently around high 50s to low 60s, my problem is I don’t know if the comparisons are good enough as I2 is animated with more of a fan rush and Venom is way less child friendly.
  13. Lego Batman might be a good comparison as it had decent online buzz but not as much as Pikachu as well as more male skewed. Spider Verse and Lego Movie 2 may also work.
  14. When I use my comparisons, I just factor in the Thursday numbers for what each movie has done at my theater and then divide the percentages and use that to factor the OW.
  15. I just remove the Fandango previews from the OW total ($3M/$55M (which gives us a 18.33 multiple)). Not sure if it helps but it’s there. Bumblebee can also work.
  16. 14x-17x may also be a fair range but this is hard to predict for Pikachu.
  17. Again I really think Dragon 3 is a good comparison as it had some of the teen/young adult audiences and let’s not pretend that both Dumbo and Christopher Robin didn’t do good in presales, and it was obvious it had a more adult presence than regular animation.
