Wednesday #s (1/1) | FRZ 8.72,DOS 7.8,WOWS 5.671,AM2 4.874,SMB 4.178 (Official estimates)

[Hiccup]

Disney's 2003 release was Brother Bear, which had a fantastic OW/final multiplier, due to opening on a Saturday, of all days, but grossed far less than Finding Nemo.

 

They had a 2004 release of Home on the Range, vastly disappointing, and Pixar had The Incredibles.

 

Other matchups:

 

Ratatouille vs Meet the Robinsons (2007)

Wall-E vs Bolt (2008)

Up vs The Princess and the Frog (2009)

Toy Story 3 vs Tangled (2010)

Cars 2 vs Winnie the Pooh (2011)

Brave vs Wreck-It Ralph (2012)

 

As far as RT numbers, both Winnie the Pooh and Wreck-It Ralph garnered a higher tomatoscore than either Cars 2 or Brave.

 

Winnie the Pooh is very underrated. I am pissed it only made 26M on the box office. 

[Hiccup]

AM2's looking at 145-150M. Great end result after all of the doom and gloom of OW. 

 

Wow it can go that high?! I was thinking a finish around 130M. I do though low ball films though. 

[#ED]

I assume today we are expecting huge decreases...

 

anyways...

 

 

Superbowl Pool idea?

I picked up This is the End, We're The Millers and Shame for $20.00 total today.  Thank someone for post Boxing Day sales.

Apparently that was in line with expectations. It's very strange for a feature animation release, because it was so muted, almost like it was deliberately done for the ancillary markets. I'd expect that more of DisneyToons (which had done the previous Pooh movies: Tigger, Piglet, and Heffalump). Still, I'm glad it got made, because it did bring us some really great songs from the Lopezes and may have been the kicker to getting them the job for Frozen.

Jesus, that's like the price of one Blu-Ray.

It'll be at about 110 by the end of the weekend.  130 is the floor imo.

[Deep Wang]

Anyone see the new PA movie yet?

Yeah, it's shitty.

[Jack Nevada]

Yeah, it's shitty.

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA?!

Hey Baumer, can you check your PM when possible? 

[baumer]

And Shame is BR.

And Shame is BR.  

*Yosemite Sam* Ooooooooooooooooh!

[iceroll]

And Shame is BR.  

Play it on a huge TV and experience Fassbender's massive schlong in glorious giant HD.

Wednesday number puts Frozen on target for 354M (~138% ahead of Tangled's OD multiplier). 44% is the goal for DM2, it should jump over 40% this weekend. 56% is the target for 40M.

I see that Frozen has increased showtimes in a lot of places.  Would they do the same for CF?

Depends on demand as you said before.

Where I live in Virginia, some schools go back today, some don't. My sister and her husband are teachers in different cities with two kids, one in preschool, so the four of them are all in different school districts. One parent and kid had to go back today, the other two start back on Monday. The numbers today will be a lot better than next Thursday's numbers.

Possibly, though not to the same scale, more likely theaters will keep it a few more weeks while they move on from the Christmas dead weight really fast.

I think it goes way past 350.  

[Shawn Robbins]

I think you may be right. I won't be surprised if it gets close to $375m. LEGO might be the only thing stopping it, but this thing's a juggernaut.
