MrFanaticGuy34 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 (edited) Shrek the Third was pretty frontloaded And yes, because there's only so high you can go for the weekend after $15-20 million previews. If Minions were to reach that amount, $200-220 million is the absolute highest it would go. Avengers/JW weren't frontloaded for that matter they played like kids/family films throughout their OWs. We've never had an animated film open to $125 million unadjusted, so we really have no clue how a $150 million+ animated OW would look like in terms of frontloading. Shrek the Third is the only one that comes close. As much as i liked Shrek 3....the reason it was frontloaded, because it wasn't that good for a lot of people. It was ok by some of the audiences but it was more mixed to mediocre. Edited July 10, 2015 by MrFanaticGuy34 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rthmessiah Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Scary thought here using DM2/IO's 24 multi from previews. $8.71m x 24 = $209m weekend. :o don't get 2 carried away 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanboy Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Minions would have a much bigger OD than $40 million with $8.7 million previews. However it will probably slightly decrease on Saturday. My guess would be $46M Friday, $41M Saturday, $35M Sunday. $132M Weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redfirebird2008 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 don't get 2 carried away So the number is much bigger than DM2's $4.7m but somewhere under $8.7m. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 So parents can't have different opinions from their children. No. Parents want to do things that their kids enjoy. They don't care if they like it or not they care if their kids liked it. Until you have kids you won't understand this part. You do anything for your kids you want them to be happy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mojoguy Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 (edited) It doesn't matter if Minions breaks the record because It'll taken away in less than a year It'll matter to Illumination Entertainment, who made Minions! Just like it mattered to Disney with Frozen, and Pixar with Toy Story 3 with the WW records. Edited July 10, 2015 by Mojoguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrathOfHan Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 6.5-7M for preview numbers maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFanaticGuy34 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I know what they could do with the girls in DM3. They could age the characters up, the same way DW did with HTTYD2. And make a compelling story in the third film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
