Weekend Estimates: JW: 102 IO 91...RTH: Sun JW 38.3 | IO 25.3 with possible upsides PG 287, possible 107M for JW weekend

Can 

INSIDE OUT

 

be the 

 

NEXT Toy Story type money grabber?

 

I think it has a shot at being Disney's next big Pixar marketing property, alongside Toy Story and Cars. Kids should go crazy over merchandising based off the emotions.

IO, awesome!! Great third act! (Tomorrowland could learn a thing or two.) But greatest animated film of the last couple years is a stretch. There's been some great stuff from Japan and Ireland.

Also, a mom was asking her daughter, probably 5 years old, behind us after each trailer if she was interested. Surprisingly, she wasn't excited about minions. She could be an outlier or a hint that the minions arent nearly as popular with the kids as we thought.

Ted 2.

Ted 2 could be huge as well

 

this could get crazy next week as well.

[tupek]

Minions will be enormous in its own right. Trailer attached to every show of a movie that's going to do around 600 domestic. Trailer gets big reactions every time the general audience sees it. 450-500 is on the table for that movie IMHO.

 

Shark Tale's trailer was attached to every show of a movie that sold more than 70 million admissions

[SuperBatman]

That club is dead regardless; no way is Inside Out not #1 next week

 

Don't underestimate Ted 2.

[tupek]

Ted 2.

 

That's why IO will be number one

[Mattrek]

Baumer? Lol

Veronica Labanca is his alter ego that likes twilight.

[Fancyarcher]

When Baumer does return to the forum, he's not gonna like what he sees regarding IO's opening day numbers.

Difference is the Minions are already well-known and loved to begin with. JP4's success is just going to send the little yellow fuckers into the stratosphere.

[SchumacherFTW]

Are we pretty much guaranteed that Inside Out will break the opening record for ANY original movie?

Shark Tale didnt have 2 movies to build on Despicable Me and Despicable Me made all the kids love these little Minions

Generally the "not ever #1" only applies to weekends. Even MBFGW managed to take #1 for several days in its run. In fact it was first 9 times from Sept 2 to Sept 12, 2002.

 

I explicitly wrote in the club description that it was for every day because just weekends would be too easy (shows what I know lol)

Not based on my experience when i went to Universal Studios. The Minons ride is always long.

not any 

[Travod]

I hate to say it but with these bombshell Rth announcements, I'm gonna be disappointed if IO doesn't win the weekend xD Such is the way of box office.

We don't even have sat or sunday numbers.

 

Anyways we expect JW to have a larger sat increase. 

[BadAtGender]

If Inside Out manages to take first this weekend, that would put Jurassic World in a very strange place.

 

To date, the highest grossing film to only win a single weekend is the final Harry Potter, which did set a weekend record, but then fell to second beneath Captain America's opening.

 

JW could do the same thing, except it's heading for unparalleled box office heights. It'd be kinda weird.

 

(#2 on the list is the original Transformers, due to it releasing at 8pm on a Monday.)

Original as in "100% original, not derived from any pre-existing work"? What's the record for that?

[Rthmessiah]

Hey RTH any chance of WC goes super bonkers of 40m Friday?

been super bonkers all day WC had a chuck highest grossing thrs majority of day, let's see how that translates

[Mattrek]

Inside Out will hurt Minions, not the other way around. I've been on this train for months and this OW just solidifies my stance.
