  1. No one's arguing it won't be a hit (it will). Just that it wouldn't be surprising if the numbers came back down closer to the level of the first Despicable Me than its sequel or Minions. Relax.

    I'm plenty relaxed, I see the same dumb arguments to explain why it's dropping decently from Minions (which I heard when Minions itself was coming out).

    There is no way there isn't any fudge in the recipe with that $69M estimate (given Paramount being... Paramount). Get the fuck outta here.

     

    Also I'm with WrathofHan. I see sub-$100M for DM3 next weekend. It's a Part 3 following the tradition of the solid debut blockbuster that surprises everyone followed by the "HOLY SHIT, GET THE HELL OUTTA ITS PATH!" monster sequel. Countless examples: Batman Begins, Pirates, Shrek, First Blood, etc. The third installment always takes a dip (bigger than the original film but nowhere near the second). But the only thing is Minions (while was a spin-off/prequel) kinda served BO-wise as a third installment in that tradition (talking strictly domestically).

     

    So... I have to wonder if DM3 will instead like a fourth installment, a la Shrek Forever After.

    This isn't always true btw. No way it's going to be received anything like Shrek 4 sorry.

    It at least avoided the embarrassment of having its 5-day total come below the opening day of Revenge of the Fallen eight years ago (but still sold less admissions so that's a bit of a wash) like it did just a few days ago. That said, there's nothing to be happy about regarding this opening; it's just a terrible fall for the franchise, and it's clear that if it's to continue, it'll need to go in a completely different direction with an entirely new creative team on board.

    Agreed on the happiness part but it's still not a complete disaster esp when you throw in the OS take.
