baumer Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 You could very well be right. I personally see a 50% drop minimum. I'm going with 45%. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Think about how much JW had burned off before IO came into the market. Is it any wonder that it is slowing down a little quicker than IO when it had already made more than IO might gross in its entire run? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a2k Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 No wonder JW will cool off quicker than IO. It had 296m before IO released. IO is yet to touch that number. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 No wonder JW will cool off quicker than IO. It had 296m before IO released. IO is yet to touch that number. And it made more in it's second weekend than IO did in it's first. So yes, its going to strt slowing down. If it didn't, it would have a shot at 700 mill. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfirebird2008 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 No wonder JW will cool off quicker than IO. It had 296m before IO released. IO is yet to touch that number. Was already at $364m in 9 days. That's a total the IO fans are begging for the entire IO run. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezen Baklattan Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Either way, IO and JW are probably going to be neck and neck again for this weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezen Baklattan Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 If Inside Out came out last year, though, it probably would have been the highest grossing film. It coupd very well be 7th this year. Just goes to show how insane the box office is nowadays. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Shorts Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Let us all be thankful we have rth, spatula and gopher. No other forums have people like them. KJ? IMDB? lol KJ has Excel.. Well I'm hooking Shawn up with a bootleg copy of Microsoft 360, so not only will he have excel, he'll also have Word, Access and PowerPoint for all his boxoffice needs! Take that! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

junkshop36 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 There's no way Minions does 120+ OW and IO doesn't see a decent hit this weekend. It'll drop 40-45% then level back out next weekend. It'll get some help when Ant Man comes out. Disney will do dome double billings and shuffle a little bit of money from AM to IO if it means hitting that 350m mark.

JohnnyGossamer Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I'll be pretty disappointed if Minions opens under $135M. I'm expecting big things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proving AM to be a hit at this point is more important than IO reaching 350m. IO is a stand alone film whereas AM becoming a success paves the way for sequels. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superduperm Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I'll be pretty disappointed if Minions opens under $135M. I'm expecting big things. If it even beats Shrek the Turd's opening (122.6M), that alone would be plenty good. Anything that can help me sleep peacefully at night knowing that film doesn't have the animated OW record anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything that can help me sleep peacefully at night knowing that film doesn't have the animated OW record anymore. Don't get me wrong, anything over $100M is great and I won't disparage anything over that number. But, I want a breakout and believe we'll get a breakout OW DOM. The latest tracking numbers are excellent and awareness couldn't be higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopher Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 (edited) Was already at $364m in 9 days. That's a total the IO fans are begging for the entire IO run. Literally no one here was expecting a Jurassic Park sequel to come in behind an original Pixar movie. Especially when that JP sequel breaks the OW record. They're both breaking far beyond what was/should've been expected of them and their respective audiences clearly like both a shit ton (JW is pulling and even increasing on Avengers legs and IO is doing better than TS3 legs). I think they're both enormously impressive and up there with Sniper and Furious 7 in the Mother of God 2015 runs (of which we got literally one in 2014, lol). Wouldn't want IO to take away from what JW is doing or vice versa. Edited July 7, 2015 by Gopher 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Australia is any indication (32% increase from DM2 opening), an opening around $150m is possible. Australia is typically the overseas market that performs most similarly to Domestic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfirebird2008 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Literally no one here was expecting a Jurassic Park sequel to come in behind an original Pixar movie. Oh really? I seem to remember a dude named Quigley who predicted around $140m total for JP4. Pixar is usually good for $200m or more. Their average gross for non-sequels is over $315m when you adjust for inflation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now, I'm just hoping for $125M. But my gut is expecting something like $105-115M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
