Since JL has a lower first Wednesday gross than FB with worse holds, I don't see how it will top FB's 45m second weekend. Thinking more like 42-44.
Strong start for Coco, was expecting much more TGD than Moana opening but it landed right in the middle of the two. As such, I'll guess the weekend lands in the middle of the two as well and predict 47m.
Kind of surprising actually how few movies there are with much 200m potential outside of summer and holiday next year. Panther could end up being the only one.
Coco is way too hard to predict o/u 200 right now. Not to mention I'm giving both Wonder and Jumanji an outside chance for 200. Too hard to predict until after this Holiday is over.
The timing is pretty crazy with this with Coco literally releasing tomorrow. Coco hasn't ever been tracking particularly strong and now this happens just in time to have someone to pin all the blame on if it does underperform.
Not gonna lie, I have always gotten a bit of a creepy vibe from Lassetter. Shame that seems to be the case though, he certainly is responsible for more great things in the world of animation than maybe anyone else alive. On the positive side, maybe sequel mania will die down a bit at WDAS/Pixar now since I feel Lassetter in recent years has really gone sequel crazy. At the very least, we should be spared Cars 4.
Something disastrous must be afoot for WB to still be withholding actuals. Maybe JL can set a new estimate to actual discrepancy record. Hey, at least then it will be a record breaker!
Definitely disagree since TS and Nemo remained hugely relevant with kids, whereas I don't think that's so much the case with Incredibles. I think the biggest appeal here is in the adult demo.
The saddest part is that they spent 300m+ on it that they may not make a profit on and yet it's one of the ugliest looking tentpoles in recent years. I mean it's just all around L's here.
Monsters Inc would be third based off of admissions. That's why I've said all along it's not exactly logical to be expecting 400+ when the first wasn't even as popular as Monsters Inc. To be fair, this sequel has been demanded among fans for years and MU wasn't asked for by anyone, so I'm not at all saying it will only do MU level grosses but 400+ is unlikely.
