filmnerdjamie Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Don't we have Turbo & Smurfs2 around the corner? Turbo is a non-entity. Nothing to worry about there. Smurfs 2... yeah that will inflict (some) damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zackzack Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Despicable Me is the closest thing to a great movie they've produced but still not great per say. Illumination is building itself up as a brand-name like Pixar is. Audiences are starting to trust them. They only have one concept with Gru/Minions. Let's see if they can prove themselves beyond the title of "another one hit wonder." LORAX is based on a previously published work, a popular one. Pixar is all original stuff, folks. They have been an inspiration to many animation houses in Hollywood. And they have been making animations for almost 20 years. Consistency, something that Illumination needs to show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahnamahna Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 I think DM2 will hold on next weekend: 1. DM2: $53.5 million (no competition and good WOM = 35% drop) 2. GU2: $48 million (no PG-13 comedies = a rebound for Adam Sandler) 3. Pacific Rim: $42.5 million (plenty of genre movies over last few weeks = mid-level opening) 4. Monsters U: $16.5 million (no competition + good WOM = some Pixar legs after DM2's death blow) 5. The Heat: $14 million (no female competition + good WOM = average hold) 6. LR: $12.5 million (60% drop + more competition next 2 weeks = at least it'll do better than John Carter ) 7. WWZ: $8 million (Nice hold this weekend but Pacific Rim = crash and burn) 8. MoS: $6 million (family audiences negate Pacific Rim so an average drop) 9. Kevin Hart: $4 million (5-day weekend rush + GU2 = front-loaded much? ) 10. This is the End: $3 million (GU2 = the end of its run) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hop and The Lorax were big commercial hits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gideon Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Turbo wont make much of a dent. Smurfs is far enough away that it wont matter. Turbo trailer bored me so much. Is Dreamworks believing in that one? Smurf2: indeed. Then i won't talk about Planes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 No way TLR drops 60%. Those who have seen it like it and its not a sequel. And i dont think DM2 WILL drop that softly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mahnamahna Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 DM> TS easily imo. No... just no... aside from the zany humor, the Minions, and Agnes, Despicable Me has nothing on Toy Story, Nemo, Monsters Inc, The Incredibles, WALL-E, or Up- I'll give you Cars, A Bug's Life (it's equal to Despicable Me in quality), Brave, Cars 2, Monsters U (DM2 does look a little better) and Ratatouille (not intriguing enough) though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like a 3 times multiplier off 140 is 420 or does it not work that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gideon Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 (edited) Is 400 million locked with the 140 million opening? I say no. By the way, wouldn't the same sentence about a live-action movie OW (fri-sat-sun) get laughs and laughs? Edited July 6, 2013 by Gideon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
