[Blackout]

Nah, they should get small increases.

 

How about Saturday, will it be a normal Sat increase or less? 

[miketheavenger]

I know I'm a bit late, but happy 4th of July to all you Americans!

 

Btw, the film Independence Day is one of my biggest guilty pleasures. I actually really enjoy watching it.

Looking at sequels to popular animated movies (HTTYD2, Kung Fu Panda 2) and the sequels to popular R-rated sequels (22 JS, Hangover 2).

 

It seems the former is much riskier.

so is DOFP expected to beat X3 still or what?

Saturday increases should be stronger than usual for all movies.

Thank you

Well, it fell harsh on Wed, but had a very nice increase yesterday. So overall, I would say that while the chance is still there, it's a really small chance IMO.

I think it will fall short. Maybe around 230ish

Nope

 

It's slowing down too much to make it past 234 m..

Hmm. Both of the former followed up on films that did well in theaters, but were evidently more vocally praised by critics and the Internet than general audiences (who seem to have just accepted the originals as enjoyable stand-alone stories), took the story/characters to more serious/mature places......I'm suddenly getting nervous about The Incredibles 2...

Dont be surprised by 40-60% increases

[Dementeleus]

...I'm suddenly getting nervous about The Incredibles 2...

 

It'll do fine, but I wouldn't expect a 300m+ juggernaut.

[BadAtGender]

There's nothing wrong with Transformers The Animated Movie.

 

It's a cool, little movie from an adult's perspective and mind blowingly awesome from a kid's.

 

Oh, I like it myself. I did say I had fond memories. It's probably somewhere in the 30-50 range for my all time animated movies, though. It just seems bizarre to rate it that high. To me.

Well, they do cost a lot more.

Depends on how long its dollar run is imo

[grey ghost]

I need Tammy to make it passed 100 m for my BSG.

 

Hercules too.

I don't think you should be nervous. The Incredibles is probably the only animated movie where audiences were and still are begging for a sequel. So unless it's bad (which is highly unlikely in my book) it should be huge.

Lol

[a2k]

TS movies have increased considerably over their predecessors.

But Cars, Cars2 was 244m, 191m

MI, MU was 256m, 268m

For Incredibles 2 I would be happy with anything above 240m+, at least out-grossing Brave's 237m.

Don't want to over-expect now. 99 times burnt, twice shy.

Are they really? Or is it another Internet/geek echo chamber? Do the general public, the "silent majority" who weren't piqued by KFP2 or HTTYD2, really and truly want a sequel to The Incredibles as bad as we do? I surely hope so, but after Dragon 2 it's harder to take anything for granted... Edited July 4, 2014 by TServo2049
