I'm not sure Blankments is that great of a box office predicting expert.

I saw this with my friend and my niece and we thought it was cute. The singing was entertaining. 

 

However my friend did think the criminal gang being portrayed as gorillas was suspect 

 

Taron Edgerton sounding great singing I'm still standing though. All the singing was great.

Umm.....as of now, Sing is at $215M DOM.

 

So it did higher than you predicted.

Glad this was a hit for Leslie Jones, her 2nd $100m grosser this year, lol.

Seems about right.

[zackzack]

MacConnaisance? How about Sea of Trees?

[Morieris]

Or Free State of Jones...._{did anyone see that}.

 

I did really like his voice work in this movie though, much better than in Kubo.

He was actually cast in a role that fit him.

My daughter loved this movie, can't decided if she preferred it or Moana. I  preferred Moana myself but not by that much. This one was fun and it had some heart.

 

Plus every single pig in this movie was a lot of fun.

This although I definitely preferred Sing to Moana.

 

I will give both a re-evaluation on Home Video and my ranking may change of course.

From someone who only truly liked two of Illumination's films, Sing was the best.

So far.....Sing is at $233M DOM, beating Moana.

 

Would not surprise if it beats Moana WW-wise as well.....if it breaks out in China & Japan.

[Blankments]

agh as you guys probably expected, i hated this

 

However, as I didn't expect, I absolutely loathed this; thought it was the second worst Illumination film yet (after Minions).

If SING ends up with 268 million domestic or more, it will become the second highest original non-Disney/Pixar animated film ever behind the secret life of pets - also an Illumination film. With this, UNi/Illumination will hold the top #2 non-Disney original animated slots.

The #3 slot goes to Shrek and the #4 slot goes to Lego movie (if we consider that original).

On the pace it's heading Sing should end with at least $270M domestic.
