KATCH-2D2 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 It looks like minions will be humongous. 140m ow 400 dom and 1.4b ww. Minions over AOU WW?? Now, that would be shocking. Around 1b is more likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krissykins Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 (edited) What was Pitch Perfect 2's budget? I'm sure Fifty Shades of Grey made them even more money than Pitch Perfect 2. Sold 500,000 DVDs here in the UK last week. Edit: of course it did. Just realised Fifty Shades made double what PP2 did lol.

Wrath Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Saw TG last night. 7 of us in the theater total and reminded me, attendance-wise of Jupiter Ascending. Admittedly, that was JA's opening weekend making it a little sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keysersoze123 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Minions over AOU WW?? Now, that would be shocking. Around 1b is more likely. Considering its breaking records in so many markets and definitely looks to have leggier run than AOU, it wont be that surprising. Of course Asia would be way weaker though China looks primed for 1B Yuan. But it will destroy AOU in europe and will do much better even in Latin America. So it does have a chance to beat AOU.

JohnnyGossamer Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Saw TG last night. 7 of us in the theater total and reminded me, attendance-wise of Jupiter Ascending. Admittedly, that was JA's opening weekend making it a little sad. I caught Genysis the Friday of it's OW, so last Friday, at 7:30PM and the auditorium had roughly a dozen of the 200+ seats occupied. For a major brand bringing it's Arnold in the hole back so to speak, it's a dud. The returns continue to diminish from one Terminator to the next. The masses just don't want it any longer. Or, want something novel instead of the retreading that's been ongoing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goffe Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Minions will open huge, and fall HARD. Early reviews indicate is a kids only movie, adults won't be interested. I hope you're right. Fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrathOfHan Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 So 110-120 for the weekend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a2k Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Public Enemies had a 2.5m Thu and a 13.7m weekend. TG probably looking at 12.5m weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyGossamer Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 ‘Minions’ Nab $6.2M In Thursday Previews – Box Office http://dlvr.it/BTZXd5 #hollywood Wow! So... That number essentially locks up $100M+ OW DOM. It actually probably locks up at least $110M to be honest. Somewhere, right now, Tele's forcefully pissing on a yellow fire hydrant and muttering obscenities under his breath. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So 1b OS for Minions?? Sorry for Minions fans but I'd be so angry if that happened. Even a phenomenon like Frozen couldn't do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfirebird2008 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 With DM2/IO multiplier, it goes to $150m weekend. I'm thinking $130m or so is likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
