    So new record for animation?

     

    I think it is pure animation since no physical acting was involved. Its just very realistic animation. Objects and the Cat in Toy Story 4 was very realistic. In fact Toys are realistic 😛

    There was one live action scene hidden in there

    TLK is passing BatB. July/August drops will be softer than March/April ones.

    Nah the audience really hates it remember!  

     

    Even the "All Audience" is currently 5% higher (85%) than BatB (80%) and that's with more backlash.  Verified is steady at 89% with 18k+ ratings.

     

    Legs are going to be great.  Not expecting anywhere near Aladdin's 4x but anything over 3x should be good.

    Box Office Pro isn't actual tracking.

    I know, I'm talking about tracking initial expectations for what this could or should make, not "actual" tracking. Disney was clearly targeting 200 themselves with this wide release so their 150 expectation (or even below BatB) was always BS. Anyway 185-190 is a fuzzy line and I'd say it's still on par as a performance, just at the lower end of what people expected.

     

    Still an #event no matter what, and beating out Incredibles 2 is fantastic.

    I find it wild that this is being considered an under performance lol. Tracking was near this like 2 weeks ago.

    I would call 190-210 "on par" for The Lion King, but 175-189 would be a slight underperformance and under BatB would've been a definite underperformance. I don't care if tracking said 150-170, Boxoffice tracking originally had it right at 200 with 180-230 range.

    TLK is unlikely to hit the top 6 of 2018/2019 releases alone. An event? More like...

    not an event 

    It's going to sell nearly 20 million tickets in a single weekend, of course it's an event, especially for families.  I'm guessing you didn't think BatB was an event either?  Because this is on the same level.  Not everything needs to have mega fanboy hype to be an event, it's still doing well.

    BTW I just checked the theater I'm seeing Lion King at later today and everything is filling up throughout the day fast. Wouldn't be surprised if it managed a nice increase from true Friday.

    It's better to think that it will do the worst so we can have a nice surprise

    I2 and Dory both faced serious and direct competition in their early weeks. The Lion King won't have such problems, and July weekdays are stronger than June ones too.

     

    BATB did 2.87x opening in March. I'd say 3x is locked for TLK, 3.3-3.5x is perfectly reasonable and 3.7x is not entirely out of the realm of possibilities. This meas a domestic range of $600-700M

    The spoiler-free (ish) nature of it could be deflating the OW which will in turn result in a higher multi, so I kind of agree.  GA doesn't feel the need to rush out, and the 23M previews were inflated a bit by fandom rush.  That's my guess anyway.

  8. Based on AUS/NZ numbers I was expecting this to be well into the 200s domestically. It does kind of look like OS is performing stronger than domestic right now?

     

    I mean BatB is getting crushed OS yet this will only be a bit above it domestically, and it performed somewhat similarly in those markets.

    Second, when I said I was expecting low to mid 500s for a while now, that's because I baked in an uncertain feeling about this film into my projections.  I've said in multiple threads that there was something I couldn't quite place that was bothering me about this film (and, no it wasn't about emotions).  I think I've finally twigged what it is, but that isn't germane to this post (still not about emotions, FWIW).

    

    Ok, now I'm interested

    So here's a fun game:

    What's the biggest opening of a movie you didn't see? For me it's DH2.

    If Endgame could tap into my market and other ones it would've had a 500+ OW and 1.5B total

  11. Just now, Porthos said:

    Indeed. A just over or just under 200m OW would be terrific.  Hence my sarcastic use of the “Not An Event” meme.

     

     Hell, 185 would be fantastic as well.  A sure fire smash hit in fact.  To treat it any other way is just silly.

    Problem is when expectations get over-inflated. If we thought 70m OD, people would've screamed underperformance, but 80 would suddenly look great. But with 90 OD, 80 looks just "ok" in comparison.

     

    Anyway, BOP tracking might come true with $201,000,000 months ago, interestingly enough. I think Disney will use their power to get it over the line

    For those wondering about 1st day comscores from recent "family" movies...

    Spidey - Screen Engine/ComScore PostTrak exits are fantastic with 4 1/2 stars last night for general audiences (who made up 68% of the crowd), 5 stars for parents and 4 1/2 stars for kids under 12 (combined 32% of the crowd).

    Toys 4 - Let’s allow the weekend to play out, because there’s a lot of love here for the movie with PostTrak exits exploding at 5 stars for both general audiences and parents, and under 12 kids at 4 1/2.

    SLOP 2 - Rotten Tomatoes doesn’t always completely capsize a family pic, and audience exit scores on PostTrak last night were excellent, with five stars from parents and kids under 12, and 4 1/2 stars from general audiences.

    Aladdin - So far, so good: ComScore/Screen Engine PostTrack exits show general audiences giving Aladdin 4 1/2 stars and a solid 69% definite recommend. Parents gave the pic four stars after turning out at 12%, and kids under 12, who repped 20% of the crowd and loved it at 4 1/2 stars.

     

    All these movies have had very nice legs so far this summer...and all of them had kids under 12 at 4.5 stars or above after the 1st night...

    A- CinemaScore instead of A might happen then?

    I'm guessing it's quite scary for children due to the photorealism.
