You mean non-sequel.

No, Shrek 2 is going down.

[forg]

Looking at it, Shrek 2's gross is really astonishing. 441M, without 3D, and in 2004 no less. Gonna be a while till we see another animated movie get pass that. Maybe a long while.

True, Shrek 2's run was sensational. Too bad the 3rd and 4th movies tarnished the brand.

How about FINDING DORY?

How?

[Dingdong123]

The fact that Frozen, a princess movie, will top $300m is really something. Kudos to that snowman for expanding the audience to boys.

Well 300m has already been given I believe. We're now looking at 350m.

[cory]

Right now I see the range on Frozen as 340-380, and the high end isn't even best case, that's just following Tangled's drops post-holiday.

How?

The power of love, obviously.

Ha ha. lol

[Sam]

It's going to be around 300M after next weekend, making another 68M to pass DM2 is definitely possible. Tangled made another 30M after NY's weekend and right now Frozen is making nearly 6 times as much as Tangled. Lead over Tangled has ballooned to 91M and at the rate it's going 400M might now be out of the question but more realistic target would be 370M. 

I'm following your countdown closely. Maybe you should set some new targets.

[eXtacy]

Almost universally bad numbers for all films, this is a shocking unprecedented Friday after Christmas. I cant find a worse Friday after Christmas in the last 11 years. If it wasn't for Frozen I might actually be crying....

[druv10]

Another amazing thing to consider, Frozen was number 7 on Christmas Day and 2 days later it is number 1. That is power of WOM shinning through brightly.     

[Sam]

How about FINDING DORY?

Definitely has a chance. Big one at that, especially with inclusion of 3D. In terms of tickets sold though, I don't think we'll see any animations getting that far anytime soon.

[The Panda]

Ha ha. lol

My love for Frozen will bring it to the top

[druv10]

I'll add DM2 to my next countdown. 

[Dingdong123]

I actually can't believe I shut out all those countdown numbers druv is making, and then I see it all happening right in front of me now.

Find Dory is going to be absolutely massive, Finding Nemo is was an absolutely sensational film and Pixar have prooven with Toy Story 3 they can do sequels right.

Sure, but look at it this way, after Friday December will be at around 820m, surely there'll be some jumps on Saturday so by then 890m, last year up to the 28th, it was just under 800m. That's a pretty massive improvement. There's a very good chance of breaking the December record.

[The Panda]

Yeah I think the over abundance of lackluster new choices is hurting the market, also why holdovers are doing great.

Yeah, like I mentioned above, Finding Dory has a big chance. But well, another 3 years, that's still "for a while"
