Happy B-day Tele

[Ethan Hunt]

Totally missed the word action lol

I thought it just said R-rated thriller

[Maxmoser3]

115 is still pretty good.

[baumer]

Inside Out won't do 200 mill in Japan. Why would it?

[a2k]

I agree that "if Minions had not opened, then IO would have made xyz" is not a legit argument.

Movies will always face competition. Who knows, if not for Minions maybe there would have been 2 65m openers scheduled this week or over 2 weeks, or some other competition. IO is pulling in adults too, and maybe Ted 2, MM and TG would not have under-performed. If Minions would have not opened means the supply is not matching the demand and studios are idiots.

- things always even out in the long run.

- most(99%) movies including TS3, etc. over the long run have faced a similar amount of competition as IO. Some movies face a lot in one week, for others it's more spread out.

With a China release, it can get to 1B WW.

Only second time in history to have three 100 M openers during summer. The first time was in 2007. What makes the feat this summer more amazing is that all three openings are from a single studio. Absorb that.

Easter is now summer?

[MrFanaticGuy34]

I think Minions's numbers will go up with actuals. It would be a shame if it went down, despite that animated OD record.

This wknd #MadMaxFuryRoad became 1st R-rated action thriller to top $150M domestic since 300 back in 2007.

Minions already has nearly 400m ww. And it's budget was 75m + PA. The merchandising itself will take care of budgets I think, like with the Car franchise. Everything else is gravy.
