No update? Finding Dory in $100M category Captain America 3 in $400M category

Jungle Book may not make $1B. But Dory, Civil War, Zootopia & Rogue One (unless...those re-shoots..) will give Disney a quartet of $1B WW movies in a single year. That's gotta be a record.

Keep on swimming?

Rth is at International forum, posting Australian OD number: 3rd highest animation opening day.

Witch is one nasty movie, it feels like it's been adapted straight from some Satanic Ritual Text. Very good young director though. Bright future for him.

Half a billion, here it comes

I can understand TS4: TS3 is a massive hit. As long as Tom Hanks is still working, they will be making Toy Story movies until some Pixar execs says "Stop." But Cars 2 was rather disappointing and not as well received by Pixar die hards as the others.

The difference is Central Intelligence is actually funny

By end of July, Disney will own top 4 spots of 2016 WW. Is this unprecedented by a single studio?

Finding Dory may not have the high awareness factor as other movies this year. It could have crazy legs like Zootopia. Zootopia opened with $23M and look at it go. So who knows.

True. Some jokes fall flat & people laugh. Movie plots feel contrived, people laugh. Movies ideas feel idiotic, people laugh. When confronted with something people don't understand, they also laugh & giggle.

Neighbors 2, Alice 2, Turtles 2, give a new meaning to sophomore blues. A curse is upon thee...... Warner escapes the curse when they go with BvS instead of MoS2: More Destruction Porn Sophie Turner curses the movie she is in when she utters the line: "The third one is always the worst"

Not in China

Deadline: The Conjuring 2 eyeing $33M-$35M, Warcraft potentially slotting second place with $31M 2ND UPDATE, Friday 12:12 PM: Don’t underestimate the power of Universal-Legendary’s $160M beast Warcraft. The movie adaptation of the Blizzard Entertainment video game franchise is coming on strong in its matinees, potentially slotting second place with $31M for the weekend behind Warner Bros./New Line’s The Conjuring 2, which is eyeing $33M-$35M. Heading into the weekend, the assessment was that interest in Warcraft had waned among its fan base, which peaked back in 2010 with more than 12M subscribers. That figure has settled to 5.6M. Yet one studio executive says that out of this weekend’s three wide entries, Warcraft is the title with the most fan engagement and brand value. ComScore’s PostTrak observed in its early polls that 31% of those who watched Warcraft identified themselves as serious gamers. Guys are crowding showtimes at 72%. I now hear that the appropriate break-even for Warcraft given its P&A of $110M and $160M production cost is around $500M at the global B.O., not $400M or $450M. Foreign sources think China ultimately could cash in $200M-$250M by the end of its run. Through Sunday, the total international B.O. for the Duncan Jones-helmed movie should stand at $250M-$270M.

Anything that grossed more than $200M in China is considered a good hit in my book. CA:CW not doing Ultron's number a failure? BvS' $870M WW a failure? Is this a crazy world we are living in?

An angry alien queen, Kevin Hart & a fish will save Summer 2015. Until then, the Year of Underperformers continues on

Question is: will the multiplier be higher than 2.0?

Could be a mini-Gravity we've been waiting for...

Warcraft WW > XM:A WW Zootopia $1B WW > BvS WW Deadpool WW > XM:A WW Deadpool DOM > BvS DOM 2016 is insane

Warcraft breaking even (minus P&A) with China gross alone?

Holy....Unexpected

The audience has a full course of superhero dinner. Deadpool is a massive appetizer. And they stuffed themselves with BvS. And Civil War is just a never-ending dessert line. By the time X-Men arrives, they just said "No, thank you, I am watching my weight." Warner is smart to move BvS to March.
