‘#HowToTrainYourDragon2′ Flies To Top All-Time Animated Opener in China http://dlvr.it/6fMKrw

 

 

After an excellent $25.9M final weekend opening gross in China this morning, DreamWorks Animation/Fox’s How To Train Your Dragon 2 roared into the highest animated opening of all time in the territory. The sequel’s strong performance overseas lifted DreamWorks Animation’s stock this AM, too. The stock perked up as much as 10%. The total box office for Dragon 2 is now at around $170.6M domestically and now sits in the No. 11 spot in the biggest openers of 2014 to date. It also currently ranks as the second-biggest animated movie of the year behind Warner Bros.’ The Lego Movie which bowed Feb. 7 of this year. Dragon 2‘s global cume is now over $500M since bowing on June 13.

If I may comment on the GoTG performance debate, I will say that very few people saw GoTG making this much money. Even fewer people thought it would get the critical reception it's getting both from critics and audiences.In a nutshell, very, very, very few folks thought the movie would perform this well.Outside of the A-list superhero properties (Batman, Spider-man and Superman) only Iron Man performs at this level (it's definitely going to beat Cap 2 domestically)

While not as impressive, Guardians breaking out is reminiscent of Pirates breaking out years ago. Now, Pirates didn't have 3D, it inflates to much a higher gross now, it opened lower and its legs were unreal... I agree across the board. BUT, even still, it's more like that one than anything since that one. It's goofball tone, it's high adventure, it's charm and sense of fun... I expect Guardians 2 to make Pirates 2 money DOM and OS. Unadjusted of course...

TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES took in $28.52M this weekend. Domestic total now stands at $117.77M. #TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles #TMNT

 

So -56.5%,  -53.2 excl midnights.   Solid hold. very comparable to GotG actually.

Before Pirates 1 got released I knew literally no one, who didn't knew the Pirates of the Caribbean, including people that never visited Disneyland. And I know a lot of people...

 

=> the cast was at that time the probably most famous possible for an action-adventure-comedy, including Bloom's Legolas in Two Towers in 2002 and the promo for Return of the King already on its way

Depp had one kinda big flick in Sleepy Hollow and Bloom was a bit player in LOTR. What the hell?

 

If awareness was so high then why didn't it open higher than $70M DOM from Wednesday to Sunday in early/mid July?

Pirates was not a guaranteed success. Se people (15-year-old me included) thought it was going to tank. I thought the very idea was ludicrous, and the cheap-shit teaser on Two Towers made me groan out loud.I don't even believe I saw it until weekend two, because my younger brother had seen it (OW?) and loved it, and that was what convinced me to see it.

Because people like me who wait(ed) and see for first reactions, if something looks like it might be a tad be unusual, but still are aware and curious about it?

 

=> For parents then (and now) it means to find the time, pay either for the kids or, depending on the age of the kids, the baby-sitter, drive for a time (it's cheaper to live with a family away from the areas that offer e.g. cinemas), pay...

=> better send some nephews... first

 

Not meaning it was clear to be a mega-hit, but the probability to make it big seemed to me then higher than about a few of the other examples mentioned here and at the 'surprise' thread

I work since the '70, so I might have another POV about what might make it big, I saw the kids reactions to the Pirates trailers in the cinemas.

 

I did then also watch TV, the reports around the filming, the sightings of the 'stars', magazines ('girlie's')... => it was insane IMHO

Pirate movies had had a history of flopping in the previous 20 years (The Pirate Movie, The Pirates of Penzance, Pirates, Cutthroat Island), and the idea of a movie based on a theme park ride was seen by some as crass, naked commercialism (a la Battleship a decade later). And Disney's own The Country Bears had flopped the previous year. I do vaguely recall that there was a lot of caution from observers going in - but I was in high school and not as in tune with film buzz then.Of course, GA was unaware/not influenced by any of that, they turned out to love it. (As did I.)

:lol:  And I see fishnets on top of the replies.

 

 

Do you think that is 'our' fishnets?

 

 

Yeah most definitely.  Same avatar so it's got to be the same.

 

 

She's everywhere. From BadassDigest to THR's comments section where she amazingly managed to bring up Peter Jackson in a discussion about E3's weekend gross.

 

 

yeah definitely the same avatar.

 

In other words i see #Shitto trending... only a matter of time........
