Won't help that Trainwreck and Ant-Man will combine to eat up $100M+ while Minions will at least bank $55M that same weekend.

IO isn't affected by an R rated comedy and double-features with Ant-Man should help the drop.

JW will drop though since Ant-Man is direct competition

[Frozen]

Can anyone who has seen the Gallows tell me how scary it is? I don't want spoilers, just want to know if it's scary.

[Blankments]

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

Never said it'd be less than 3. I'm not totally insane; it's an animated movie in summer

[Asyulus]

Variety?

Variety always underestimates everything.

Variety?

Variety always underestimates everything.

 

Variety also said it will be a three way battle for second between IO, JW, and TG. Where are the TG numbers?

[Blankments]

 

Blanks pathetic meltdown/hate against the Minions is killing me. 

Oh no, how dare Blank hate what CJohn likes; who wants individuality when we can all agree to love Minions?

Is that better?

[Rthmessiah]

off around 1-2pm PST I had Minions high end 42 and reduced to 41, IO OD early on had high end from memory 35-36 when I put initial estimate out though no not that high reduced 30-32 range then it ended up 34 . Gopher put out high end 43 from early on I still haven't looked at it again properly but that's probably be low end.. i'll take a look. 

Thing on top of everything else is even if day trade is good it's like well is all mostly going to be day and considering schools out or will eve also perform well along with how much to account for pre-sales taken during day etc.

Its eve are doing way better than OD IO

Going to up it for now 43.5-46

Rth just dropping the mic like its no big deal

IO and JW with even worse than expected drops? Race to $12M between the three? Sigh.

[Blankments]

Calm down...

It's not like demanding you know your senators' names; this "meltdown" of mine is being severely overblown

 

Hilarious. Seriously. Blanks, tell me on the doll where the Minions touched Pixar. 

If you've been paying attention to me at all since I've joined, you know I've been disillusioned with Pixar since 2010, and Inside Out is the first one I've been super impressed by in a very long time

 

If anything, Minions touched everyone working in animation trying to make it a more respectable artform for all ages, choosing instead to only pander to toddlers and hoping some older people might find it amusing. Basically, they're targeting nostalgia in the basest sentimentality.

BIG number. Don't know how to handle that..

 

So the other movies are dead?

[grim22]

Blank's meltdown is hilarious, especially since there shouldn't actually be any reason for it, not like Minions came out of nowhere to do this well, everyone knew it was going to do well - except Tele and Ethan Hunt (one is too old and disillusioned, one is too young and crazy)

Blanks be like this about Minions opening day.

The dream is collapsing...

[filmlover]

Minions is doing awesome, of course. Universal is still on a role!

 

A $3M opening weekend for Self/less is hilariously horrible. At this rate, it's only a matter of time until Ryan Reynolds will be retreating back to the world of sitcoms. Jesus is he "blessed" with some awful luck.
