mahnamahna Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Lol IO is not making more than JW on a Saturday. And I also like how you took the lowest estimate for JW's Friday gross and generously added a million to RTH's higher end for IO. This is probably the worst case scenario for JW. They could very well equal each other on Saturday, though. Definitely not loony. Especially if IO has $2 million on JW for Friday. And how is it generous? Last weekend, IO's estimate from RTH went up by $2 million and JW's went down by $2 million. I'm just using the standard from last weekend. All I was saying is that JW isn't locked to win the weekend. I personally wouldn't be shocked if they're both within a million of each other by Sunday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAJK Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Clearly teens have no good taste nowadays Tell ya what, ill try it again sometime this summer and see if I like it any better When I saw it was about a year and a half ago so maybe my opinion will change but for now, not a great film.

MrFanaticGuy34 Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 It isn't Space Jam without Michael. That's like making a Jurassic Park movie without the T-Rex. True... And granted, Space Jam back in 1996 was a big hit when it came out. And it had The Looney Tunes. It made $90M DOM and $230M WW....during the decade of the Disney Renaissance! And it was the highest grossing Non-Disney film at that decade for WB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inside Out will likely win the weekend, but it's not hitting close to 60 and neither is JP hitting over 55 as you're projecting. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TServo2049 Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 (edited) I've said this either here on on KJ about other sequels that either underperformed or were overpredicted, but since people are throwing around "beloved" in reference to Ted 1...

John Marston Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 I've said this about other sequels either here on on KJ, but since people are throwing around "beloved" in reference to Ted 1.., What are some recent movies that are "beloved"? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahnamahna Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 (edited) Inside Out will likely win the weekend, but it's not hitting close to 60 and neither is JP hitting over 55 as you're projecting. Those were best-case scenarios for both. IO certainly can hit $54-57 million, though. $55 million for IO and $53 million for JW is pretty reasonable. I think both will be very close throughout the weekend Edited June 27, 2015 by mahnamahna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TServo2049 Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 (edited) You mean actually "beloved", or "beloved" as used by BO prognosticators? In terms of the latter: Anchorman was "beloved", Anchorman 2 barely outsold its admissions. How to Train Your Dragon was "beloved", and we all know how the sequel performed domestically. Kung Fu Panda was "beloved", its sequel also underperformed domestically. Happy Feet was "beloved", and its sequel absolutely tanked. And The Avengers being "beloved" didn't really help Age of Ultron. The only recent films I can think of that were talked up as "beloved" and actually had their first sequel break out (or at least have a monster opening) were The Hangover and Pitch Perfect. Pitch Perfect absolutely fits the "original was beloved, sequel breaks out" template everyone always says is going to happen to other sequels that end up not actually taking off. And in the case of TH2, I think it might have actually had the potential to outgross TH1 off of that huge OW, if the film had actually been good and hadn't gotten bad WOM from the people who did see it over the first weekend. (And just as TH2 opened huge off of the goodwill of TH1, TH3 dropped like a rock coming off of the buyer's remorse of TH2.) Most of the big sequel breakouts in recent years have not been sequels to originals that people on BO forums have talked up as being "beloved". Despicable Me wasn't hailed as "beloved." Transformers wasn't hailed as "beloved." Edited June 27, 2015 by TServo2049 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
