114 minutes is short to you? Anyways this sucked. Glad it is bombing.

Those were mostly incremental. This blasts past two records: 300m and 350m. It'll take awhile for this one.

Absolutely INSANE. A record that could take nearly a decade to surpass. Crazy. But the risk paid off for Disney, congrats.

Lol somebody thinking this won’t reach 200 mil. Sure, Jan. It does look like it won’t reach Moana’s gross tho which is surprising. Sequel’s be front-loaded after all. $700 to 800 mil WW and 225M+ DOM ain’t nothing to sneeze at tho, still an improvement on the original

Interesting that the Ralph drop is higher than Coco, Moana and TS2’s first Mondays. but lower than Frozen or Tangled. (I don’t count the limited release on Frozen) Princess factor probably is indeed frontloading it a bit, along with sequel factor. Using Tangled’s multi, Ralph 2 ends up with $245 mil approx, while the insane Frozen multi is $360 mil approx. Going to think Ralph ends up between these two maybe at around $275.

Animation sequels don't work like that, as is clear with I2 and Dory.

Lol I'm astounded by Ralph's performance, for a Disney sequel to a B-property, it's performing like an absolute champ. I'm so happy because I love Wreck-It Ralph and I also loved the sequel. I'm glad it's able to stand against something as bland as Illumination's Grinch. The only worry is that its late legs will find some hard competition in Spider-Verse and Poppins, but that's far down the road from now and will have several weekends to itself.

They REALLY need to drop the Frozen short ASAP. It's hurting people's wants to see Coco in theaters a bit. Disney should yank it on Friday.

Oh, Tele, you cranky codger. It actually has been in pre-production for a very long time. When Rickles died, it was noted that the film had yet to move into production and he recorded no lines. I think the possibility for the axe is there, but it has to be soon.

Somebody's desperate...

Really the only terrible Pixar sequel has been Cars 2. Cars 3 was just okay, Monsters Uni I kinda liked, Finding Dory was pretty good, and Toy Story films are obviously amazing. Necessary? I don't know but they don't have a shaky track record.

Looool the short. Love you, autocorrect

I'm predicting they'll remove the shirt by next Friday.

They want to take advantage of the full "season" I'm sure.

Uh ok

They've already pulled it in Mexico due to complaints from audiences

Noice. I'll take it. Granted not as strong as Moana, but that film was slightly frontloaded and I definitely think WOM is about to work its magic over Thanksgiving din din. $75 mil 5-day, here we come!

It's 21 min. It's a TV holiday special that was bumped to feature status due to worries of a poor Coco box office reception, which I feel was ill-warranted. If anything, it clogs showtimes and makes the overall theatrical experience cumbersome by having it clock in at nearly two and a half hours. Hopefully Disney will pull it from theaters earlier than expected, as it will air on ABC near Christmas next month. Film was wonderful, audible sobbing in the theater and audiences seemed to really love it. Visually astounding, easily one of Pixar's best. I think it will perform very strong this season. Predicting a total of 270m+

Sheesh, DC, I hope this vs WW has taught you to finally stop hiring Snyder and stop exec meddling with your damn movies.

Nice to see it's getting (mostly) positive reviews. I'm glad, this film has been getting a real tough wrap lately.

Wat? No it doesn't, you're just mad they made a Dias de Los Muertos movie. It wasn't going to be anything else.

Bob's fan base does not watch it live, but instead DVR, Netflix, Hulu, Adult Swim, etc. They do gangbusters in merch sales as well. I imagine a BB movie to be fairly low budget compared to most animated films so the box office stakes won't be as imposing. Although it's a bit ridiculous to give it a July release date, I would think something safer like spring or fall would work better.

They didn't decide to do a film based on Mexican culture, they decided to do a film based on Dia de los Muertos.

Sony still bought it and made that decision?

Also per Deadline, Emoji did 900K in previews last night. Meh.
