Has anyone seen DM2 yet?

Yes some of the UK and Australia users have seen it already and they say it's a very entertaining film.

7 PM shows included in the next day's gross...SMH. Hollywood is getting away with some Enron accounting on this shit.

That way catching fire might pull off a 100M opening day.

 

Incredibles, Ratatouille, Wall-E & Toy Story are my favorites from Pixar.

 

Never seen Monsters Inc or Finding Nemo

 

Monsters and Nemo are much more geared toward children than the other Pixar movie IMO. Toy Story, Wall-e and incredibles are among Pixar more mature movies.

 

A superman movie by Brad Bird would be great, maybe he'll still do it. Justice League anyone?

If someone in January said OHF would make more then WHD what would people on the boards say?

Ray Subers ‏@raysubers2m

Universal is reporting that DESPICABLE ME 2's budget is $76 million. In comparison, MONSTERS UNIVERSITY likely cost around $200 million.

 

Budget is less than one third of LR, WW gross will be 3 times more..

 

 

Three times the WW gross? Is DM2 gonna challenge Titanic?

Speaking of 4th of July releases-what trailers will debut at DM2 and TLR?

R.I.P.D trailer 2 with DM2.

[RichWS]

3 Times the WW gross of TLR.

 

OOHHHH. Missed the TLR part. Thought it was comparing to MU.

Further proof there are less and less theaters now and its getting harder to get a really high theater count.

I can see the confusing. Ray compares DM2 to MU and then throws us off by comparing to another movie WW gross. This guy. 

[Impact]

How much do you want to be he will have a DM2 vs. MU chart up on Thursday

[AdamKendall]

Yep ... highest ever are Eclipse and TDKR wise over 4,400 ... 4,000 sounds right for this release.

 

Checking MOS ... I see that was over 4,200, just like Iron Man 3.

Nina Dobrev ...

 

She's on The Vampire Diaries ... and was in Perks of Being a Wallflower.

Pretty standard for an animated movie no? MU got 4000 and the first DM got 3600. Animated movies never have monster openings anyway.

[Impact]

Okay thanks dude.

[CJohn]

?

An article said DM2 was going to do 3 times the WW gross of Monsters University.

 

EDIT: Apparently is 3 times the gross of TLR.

Funny story; I had Brad Bird direct my CAYOM Justice League movie since he's great with ensembles. I'd much rather had his version of Man of Steel or a Superman origin movie in general; he's already made two fantastic pseudo-Superman movies, might as well give him a shot at the real deal.
