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

[Ethan Hunt]

So Up like numbers for Inside Out.

The OW number is at least gonna be way better

[VGPOP]

Your Saturday may be a bit too high and your Sunday way too low for FD Sunday.

I think the number still lands close to $104.5 and gets the second weekend record.

[Empire]

I think Inside Out will do more than 84M.

[Jandrew]

But 2015, will it be an anomaly or a BO rebirth ?

 

2016's line up will be good enough ?

Apart from 2011 and 2014, attendance has been pretty solid overall. People keep wish for the 99-04 level of attendance but thats just not feasbale. I think 2016 will keep this up. Its not a "rebirth", but its not a "death" either like "experts" try to say at the end of every year.

[The Futurist]

I think it will be a bit of both, but more of an anomaly.

 

Who could have predicted the week end we are living right now ?

 

A monster BO smash that is not crushing the new movie of the week end and both do incredible numbers.

 

What kind of sorcery ?

 

And 2015 is definitely a Universal/disney showdown.

I think Inside Out will do more than 84M.

i sure hope so..... 

[Ethan Hunt]

I think Inside Out will do more than 84M.

Agreed that seems low to me off of the opening day

[Jayhawk the Hutt]

I think Inside Out will do more than 84M.

That seems like the extreme low end right now.

Oh me too. JW's matinee sales are looking much better today.

[#ED]

My screening of DOPE was moved to a smaller screen with no AC because they needed the bigger screening for JW.

Whatever. It's hot.

Anyone who actually knows box office would agree. Even a 15% Saturday drop and a 15% Sunday drop gives it 86M...

There's a lot of stock in comic book movies to carry 2016 to big success, which could be a bad thing. I think CBM's may finally be winding down a bit in popularity. Though thankfully the GA will get a much needed reprieve from them between F4 and BvS. Then we have the BvS/Civil War/Apocalypse onslaught in Mar-May. Still I won't be surprised if animation is the big winner next year, not CBM's. Pets, KFP3, Dory, Ice Age, Zootopia, Moana...tons of potential heavy hitters for the genre. Either a lot are going to tank or it will truly be the year of animation at the box office.

[Mitch]

I would say that JW would do better on Father's Day than Inside Out

 

Most fathers would probably want to see JW. So Sunday is the KICKER here IMHO!!

Whatever. It's hot.

I'm always shocked there are theaters with no ac.

I think so too. Its matinees sucked yesterday and it still hit 29. Matinee business much, much better today.

I once seen a film in a theater with a screen size that seemed like it was a 70" TV. i was like "Is this for real"

 

and no AC if I remember right..

 

lol

Don't even know what the last big animated film to open on a Friday and get a 4x multi was? 

 

The Croods? If we limit it to summer then the first Despicable Me. I'd love it if IO could manage it but it doesn't look likely. 

 

 

It's not going to get a bump up to 1000. There aren't that many dollar theaters. There may be a few hundred, at best.

 

Pretty sure Matrix is saying the PTA will rise back to $1000.

The power of emotions proved to be serious competition against the power of velociraptors at the box office last night. Disney-Pixar’s “Inside Out” exceeded early expectations and made $34 million Friday night, beating “Jurassic World” for the evening on its way to becoming one of Pixar’s biggest openings with $84 to $89 million for the weekend.

How would IO only do 84 for the weekend? They think it's going to drop 25% today or something?
