Weekend 3/13-15 Official Estimates: Cinderella 70.1m, RAN 11m

[Mojoguy]

True too. Though people were expecting a larger increase due to more families showing up. However it was less families and more female and less male audience.

Cindy's budget is half of Maleficent, so this will be another win for Disney.

Some people were thinking we would get a 33-35m Sat, they going to be deeply disappointed

Maleficent did good, but nothing to brag too loudly about.

Aehm, that is IMHO a wrong description.

DVDs, Blu-Rays... the numbers ad up and ad up over literally many years.

 

Looking into deadline's calculation, they seem to calculate (for the bigger BO earners) with a 40% revenuw out of the dom's BO for disc sales and rentals.

It already reached 32-33% of dom BO with the sales alone.

But the sales will increase each X-mas, when a new Disney princess movie will get released, normal everday sales, and in (Disney girls packs?) combi-packs too... over many years to come (as long as they'll make/sell discs)

It isn't that a typical POV,... for that I think it fares rather good.

 

 

Don't forget the general decrease of hard disc sales (beside a very few exceptions) and the growing increase of digital sales and so on.

 

I'm guessing it wouldn't hurt to expect the next few years even a more huge change in what will be counted as great DVD/Blu-Ray numbers.

I'm guessing beside the few middle sized expected BOs and the few big ones... after AoU it will speed up again

 

May releases

That's the problem, there's weeks between the heavy hitters and in the meantime it slows down so much.

[Elessar]

Cinderella opening to around $70m is not box office slowing down.

I think they mean the excitement some get out of the ~ what will take #1... guesses

 

And some might really gotten used to the big hitters, see the last ~ 12 months some of the former per months records got broken and so on

It's hardly the shot in the arm the box office needs to be interesting again. Maybe if it had opened to 140m.

It is overperforming. Expecting $140m every other week is you being jaded.

[James]

It is following Maleficent for the weekend. Now, if it doesn't have crazy good legs it will end up under it DOM too. This really made my day

80M would have been enough, no need for 140M

It's hardly overperforming, 70m is pretty average.

[jj99]

Everything is performing as expected, so it's a bit boring to follow.

We need a couple more breakout to spice things up

70m would mean more tickets sold than Maleficent.

A movie gaining back almost its entire budget on one domestic weekend can't be that boring...

I think they're saying it's boring because it is performing as expected.
