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

[AniNate]

820M?!?!? Okay I love SW but that's just crazy talk.

 

Even if it ends up being right, it's still crazy talk

[CJohn]

So is:

JW doing $650 million+ DOM (but it's happening)

IO doing $325 million+ DOM (but it's happening) 

 

If there's any franchise that could defy crazy talk, it's Star Wars. If it's a great continuation of the franchise, $700 million+ DOM should happen. Especially if Christmas and New Year's keep its 2nd and 3rd weekends above $80 million DOM. 

 

2015 has been crazy in general (Sniper, Furious 7, JW, IO, soon to be Minions and Pixels IMO), so this is the year for Star Wars to do record-breaking numbers. 2016/2017 won't be as ridiculously huge as 2015, sadly..

If JW beats the 2nd record I will be with you on the Star Wars over 800M+ talk. 

[Blankments]

Wtf is going on with the box office in the last 2 weeks? These numbers are insane. Inside out is going to open north of 80 million? I truly do not understand why. This is a great time to be following the box office though.

Not to be revisionist, but it's the first animated film in 3 months, it has excellent marketing for an animated movie that's not involving Minions, and Pixar being gone for two years+original concept gave the perception of the semi-dormant "quality" Pixar brand returning after five years of absence.

[KATCH-2D2]

Is it just my computer or the forum being so painfully slow atm?

[Fancyarcher]

THE GOOD DINOSAUR! Disney wins. lol

 

Watch The Good Dinosaur surprise and actually beat Mockingjay Part 2 on it's second weekend. The power of the dinosaur.

And it helps Disney owns a network that a lot of kids watch. Captive audience is easier to reach.

If SW gets past Avatar this December then you'll be getting a lot of drunk excited Kelli. (in contrast to drunk depressed Kelli when MJ2 comes out)

I think social media has helped a lot.

[VictorHugogui]

With 29M JW still cross 100M.. so calm down, guys.. It`s not over yet!

[Dementeleus]

Inside Out and Jurassic World.

  

What are you talking about the same movie twice or two different movies?

Morning, I'll say IO........night JW?

  

Inside Out, and then Inside Out again with your son

IO.....

.....and SPY.

I really feel like this has been the most assured marketing campaign Pixar's done in quite a while. They set the tone with the teaser trailer and never wavered from it, unlike Brave's wildly uneven campaign.

[PDC1987]

JW has the 8-day record by $26 million.

Pretty high especially if your kids are girls in the 0-to-15 age range. 

Even without it, the most emotional scene in the movie is one that will effect anyone who has experience growing up; AKA everyone but Baumer

[SuperBatman]

JW has the 8-day record by $26 million.

 

It also has Fastest to 300 Million Fastest to 350 Million and soon Fastest to 400 Million

So you are telling me Baumer was born as a 20-something badass?
