Mr Terrific Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Anecdotal Evidence Alert. Parents on my FB feed are ravenous for IO. The awareness is very high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobysaurus Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Did you(or anyone for that matter) think JW was going to open with 208m? Or any where close to that? Nope Just saying. JW is a long awaited sequel that comes from a franchise where 3 out of 4 movies have broken the OW record. Plus it has a sizeable fan-base and had nostalgia going for it.

RyneOh1040 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) This is going to be an incredible weekend for the 1 and 2 spots. REALLY want to see JW pull the 100 2nd weekend but anything above 90 is truly spectacular after the way it has held. Also think IO is going to be bigger than some here are thinking. NEVER underestimate the power of Pixar/Disney and this has a lot going for it: Rave reviews, a draught for their movies (by Pixar's standards), a draught for younger family fare and a voice cast that is both VERY popular with the older Pixar fans and have promoted the hell out of it. Mindy Kaling has done an insane amount of press for this to just be a vocal role. I believe in JW and think it can hit 100-102 but I also think IO can push 85-90, maybe even 95. The percentage of total box office business in the top two films is going to be insane. P.S. Got to see DOPE at a screening in NYC a few weeks ago, and even though its only playing in around 2000 theaters I think it can crack double digits. WOM will be really really strong and the urban community is always under serviced. I think it could end up a nice little sleeper hit.

scoobysaurus Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 And yet no one was within $75m of predicting its opening just a week or two before. I wasn't referring to any predictions. Just pointed out why JW did what it did. Inside Out has something entirely different going for it - WOM and reviews. Sure IO might go on to break records but the comparison itself is apples to oranges IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also has the Pixar brand, which is very popular. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avatree Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Why would IO perform more like the older 90M Pixars compared to the more recent 70Ms?

Lumos Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) Are people seriously doubting that JW can top 100M this weekend? Even if it falls short it's likely going to come damn close with 98-99m. I'm seeing Fri: 29.2m (+63%) Sat: 38.8m (+33%) Sun: 33.8m (-13%) 2nd weekend: 101.8m Edited June 19, 2015 by Lumos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WrathOfHan Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Would have expected a bigger drop for Entourage. Doesn't matter since it'll be below 1K next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDC1987 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 If this does $5 million previews, IO is doing $110-130 million OW No way an original family-friendly animated film has previews over $3 million, and opens to less than $100 million LMFAO. Pixar has a loon fan base and it's their first film in 2 years, and Pixar films have comparably front loaded opening weekends. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
