Fine, I'll bite, @GiantCALBears...I'll take your 400 challenge, at 10 to 1 odds.
I'll bet 100 dollars to your 1000 dollars as a donation to the site, that it will make 400 million.
You game?
Fine, free $100 for the site. Booked.

I'm just curious, do you go out of your way to be ornery? I'd say at least half of your posts here are just you being a jerk.
Lol half my posts are being a jerk? Really fair statement, site moderator. You were wrong then and you are wrong now. $400m still has no chance of happening but say whatever you want.

He didn't say it would happen. He said there was a small chance it might.
He literally just said he wished he had taken my bet but nice try Tele.

If you look at Spider-Man's run, and Spider-man's lead, $400M is still going to be really difficult.
I also think that some people here are being really optimistic with the Saturday increase. I went back and looked at the Saturday bumps on this weekend from 2010-2016, and only 4 films in the top 10 from any of those years broke a 50% increase: Marmaduke, Moonrise Kingdom, Chef, and the Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. Marmaduke, actually had a decrease on the Friday from its Thursday, so I don't think it fits. The others all target older adults.
I'm still seeing a ton of projections hear using 50% or higher bumps for Saturday.
Fathers' day leads to awesome Sunday drops, but I think that it deflates the Saturday a bit in turn.
He's acting dumb, it's alright.

You called it stupid to say it had a 10% chance.
So, ok.
It still is stupid because it won't happen but whatever you say.

@GiantCALBears...I'm wishing I would have taken your bet after you called me ridiculous for saying that WW had a 10% chance of hitting 400 now. I'd say the chances of gone up even more. Maybe 25-30%. I still don't think it will hit 400 but it's certainly not ridiculous to say it could get there.
It's not happening but ok?

Speaking of Ratatouille, next week is the tenth anniversary of its release. Wow how time flies.

Loved that movie when I was a kid, still think fondly of it now. Also, Up.
I'm so glad they haven't made a sequel. It's a fantastic piece of art that needs to be left alone.

Dory level....
I would put Dory in the bottom 5 of Pixar.
Bottom 5 for me has the two Cars movies and the 3rd could be joining if I decide to watch. I don't think it's in my bottom 5 but it's definitely not in my top half.

The best Pixar film for adults and maybe this is justifiable given its subject matter is Ratatouille. It's odd to say but it feels like a much more grown up film than a lot of the others.

FN is beautiful but the plot is rather basic, it feels a lot more cartoonish at times and maybe that's the point.

I know I'm in the minority here (especially with all of you who basically grew up on the trilogy), but while I think TS3 is fine I don't think it's particularly great. It's around DORY-level.
Lol no way. Dory level so that means you think FN is a lot better than TS3?

Since I think it's the weakest of the TS trilogy... no.
Picking a favorite of the 3 is tough for me, I'd actually probably go 1,2,3 in order. But 3 is still better than most of the animated films ever made.

Toy Story 3 certainly feels like the ultimate animated film, the TDK of its genre.
(I know it's a medium)
The whole trilogy is fantastic. Very skeptical about a fourth entry.

Pixar ranking btw since I see them EVERYWHERE ELSE IN THIS THREAD:
1. Inside Out
2. Toy Story 3
3. The Incredibles
4. Ratatouille
5. WALL-E
6. Finding Nemo
7. Toy Story 2
8. Monsters, Inc.
9. Toy Story
10. Finding Nemo
11. The Good Dinosaur
12. Cars 2
13. Cars
14. Up
15. A Bug's Life
16. Monsters University
17. Cars 3
18. Brave
I think IO is great but there is no way I'm ranking it ahead of 2-6 on your list. Up is way too low, TGD too high.

2007-2010 will always be Pixar's golden age.
2007- Ratatouille
2008- Wall-E
2009- UP
2010- Toy Story 3
I think you'd have to include Finding Nemo & The Incredibles in that list as well. Plus not mentioning TS1/2 seems a bit sacrilegious.

And after he enjoys those two films, he can watch Batman & Robin, & Kazam.
Trying to figure out which one is worse is the challenge.

For WW to beat IM3, TDKr, GOTG 2, 3rd weekend is a big accomplishment.

Still going to be a big haul for WW, just outside top 10 of unadjusted third weekends.

For a moment I actually believed Wonder Woman would beat Man of Steel's second weekend.
Third weekends are historically tough, even when you don't lose a bunch of screens. Normal to have some saturation at this point.

The merchandising revenue is basically a license to print money. The movies are just multi-million, 2 hr long ads
They built the land at DCA even though fans and critics alike consider it as the weakest films in the Pixar collection. Kids man...

Kids fricking love these Cars characters and movies. Why they made those even worse spin offs with Planes.

That's a really good Cars 3 number, way higher than what I was expecting. I'd argue it's fantastic given what it is at this point. A bit stunned.
Weekend Actuals (Page 130): Cars 53.7M | Wonder Woman 41.3M | All Eyez 26.4M | Mummy 14.5M | 47 Meters 11.2M | POTC 9M | Rough Night 8M
