lab276 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I think 80m would be the high end for IO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KATCH-2D2 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 He probably pitched an idea for the movie and Universal bought into it.. The Dude clearly understands how to make it work.. Too bad he's not involved for the sequel.. Spielberg should Direct the sequel for 1 last hurrah in his life to cap it off.. The question is, would he make it gritty like it should be or would he be all sappy and family oriented with it??? God, I have to see this movie.. When are you gonna see it? I know you've been busy but I'd love to know what you think. I love TA/AOU too but I'm not bitter at all that JW broke the OW record because I enjoyed JW very much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LexJoker Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 What is IO tracking at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moviedweeb Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 The numbers for JW have already surpassed all expectation and have been so satisfying that any further records are just gravy at this point. Nonetheless, this is definitely playing like a family film and with FD on Sunday, I fully expect this to take the 2nd weekend crown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KATCH-2D2 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I think 80m would be the high end for IO. Who knows? I really expect Inside Out to break out pretty well. I keep hearing comparisons to Ratatouille. Well, foremost, a rat in the kitchen is an idea that's off-putting to many. Secondly, even sans 3D, Ratatouille adjusts to $56M OW DOM. I'm expecting something more along the lines of UP's adjusted OW DOM of $75M+. But, this seems far more kid friendly than both UP, Ratatouille, WALL-E... I'm thinking even bigger than that. So... I'm saying $80M+ for Inside Out. Breaking out even bigger than that wouldn't surprise me. If IO hits 80mil that should mean no 100m for JW then. Not that it matters but it's gonna be another fun weekend if it has a chance for another record. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KATCH-2D2 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I'll try and shoot for next weekend to see it.. Between working overnight and taking care of my Mom of a morning now until noon when I'm relieved, it'll be hard.. Take it easy then. I'm sure it isn't leaving theatres any time soon.

keysersoze123 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I am thinking 90m for JW and 85m for IO. its possible as nothing else will hit double digits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDC1987 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Not exactly. New York Times reported they spent $300m on production, marketing, and distribution. Plus they don't get 100% of the revenue. I specifically meant the budget, studios get back at least 75% of the DOM grosses the first week, especially for these big films. The marketing and distribution will be recouped internationally in a couple more days lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayhawk the Hutt Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Yeah there is no being disappointed in JW numbers. It's gonna be way past my predicted total 320m by the end of next weekend. It's almost certain to gross over $500m. Think about that. $500m dom. That's only been done 4x previous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder what kind of bonus they get when something overperforms by this kind of crazy amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved it when Monsters U, World War Z and Man Of Steel grossed $80M+, $65M+ and $40M+ in the same weekend.

Obviously Spy, even though acclaimed, didn't strike a chord with the masses. I expect Ted 2, Inside Out and Jurassic do very well that weekend. Something like: Ted 2 $65M+ Inside Out $45M+ Jurassic $40M+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keysersoze123 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Oh, no. That'll be a big one too. Obviously Spy, even though acclaimed, didn't strike a chord with the masses. I expect Ted 2, Inside Out and Jurassic do very well that weekend. Something like: Ted 2 $65M+ Inside Out $45M+ Jurassic $40M+ I think IO will drop sub 40%. it will have phenomenal WOM for sure. I think it could sneak in a win ahead of Ted 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had a bigger Monday drop than TDK, which of course was preceeded by that record Sunday. What I don't get is what the hell parents are thinking bringing kids to JW. Talk about a movie that is NOT family friendly... unless one enjoys children who suffer from night terrors. This film has a solid PG-13 rating and I wouldn't go below 11. Yet there were insane parents who had kids as young as 2... TWO!!!!.... in the showing I went to. This country is f'd up. It's back to Roman times, when people getting eating by lions and tigers was good entertainment. Edited June 16, 2015 by doublejack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyGossamer Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Aren't mid-July weekdays larger by comparison to mid-June weekdays? I could be mistaken and I understand I may be splitting hairs now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of summer schools run through June, but get out for the month of July. Its a small number of kids, but its enough to have a slight impact.
