Weekend Estimates: Minions - 115.2M; JW - 18.1M; Inside Out - 17.1M; Gallows - 10M; Self/Less - 5.4M; MMXXL - 9.6M; T5 - 13.7M

LOL, yea, ok, good luck with that. It's an animated film playing in the summer. It'll crush a 3X. CRUSH.

Ever heard of Shrek the Third?

[Blankments]

Yes, it has no dialogue - as you would know if you have seen the source material which you claim to dislike. 

I've seen the source material; thought they would change it for a feature film

 

Exactly.  

 

So let me get this straight.  DM2 opens to 83 million and finishes with 368.  That's a roaring success.

 

Minions is going to open higher, will more than likely have at least a 3.5X if not more, and its a disappointment to some of you?  I think you need to get your head checked.  Just because some of you predicted some ridiculous numbers doesn't make this a disappointment if it doesn't hit it.  You predictions are not what the industry goes by.  You guys do understand that, right?  Tell me you do.  

3.2X multiplier tops

[CaptainJackSparrow]

Amen. Minions sets back the artform of animation back to 80s bubblegum pop Saturday morning cartoons. Trash

If it's a cashgrab, why the fuck is Stanton back? If Dory's the main character, I guess it's a cashgrab, but nothing has said that Marlin isn't the main character again.

He's back thanks to John Carter flopping.

[Blankments]

Anyway, the one bright side of Minions coming out is I'll no longer have to sit through shitty advertisements with Minions in it... for a year

[baumer]

Minions is a huge success regardless, but you're twisting the facts a bit there. DM2 already had nearly $60m in the tank before it opened to $83m.

 

Opening 3 days was 90 million.

[The Futurist]

Exactly.

I think Ultron, FF7 & JW s performances have messed up people's expectations a bit, like Ultron s OW was weak, right ?

 

So Minions not doing 130m on ow is not good.

 

Or something.

[baumer]

Won't hit 3x.

 

Wanna bet?

[Blankments]

He's back thanks to John Carter flopping.

Why isn't he making a Pixar original then? Docter didn't direct MU for a reason; look at how much Inside Out is making compared to MU

[baumer]

Ever heard of Shrek the Third?

 

So there's two films against about 15 others.

[baumer]

I've seen the source material; thought they would change it for a feature film

 

3.2X multiplier tops

 

That's more than 3, isn't it?

[Mattrek]

Wanna bet?

Sure, stakes?

83m

[TalismanRing]

Exactly.  

 

So let me get this straight.  DM2 opens to 83 million and finishes with 368. 

 

DM2 opened on July 3rd, a Wed doing $60m before it's w/e.  It made another $225m though after that w/e having pretty good drops.

[baumer]

83m

 

You came in the middle of a conversation.  I know what its opening weekend was, but I'm talking about its first three days and that was 90 million.

[TalismanRing]

I know.  But I directly quoted you and you said $83m so that's what I reference the Fr-Sun weekend number.

[baumer]

But I know it made 83 million on the weekend....I was responding directly to someone else.  You and picores both are coming into a conversation that doesn't involve you.  I know what it made opening weekend.
