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

[grey ghost]

Minions will need horrid WOM for that. A 2.8x multi for animation would be awful.

2.8 times what?

I got my calculator ready.

[zackzack]

Right now i see:

 

Inside Out: 340-345m

Jurassic World: 640-645m

Ted 2: 80-85m

Terminator. Genisys: 85-90m

San Andreas: 150-155m

Mad Max: 150-155m

Spy: 110-115m

 

All I agree except San Andreas & MMFR will definitely hit $155M

 

JW: I wish it could outdo Titanic, looks like it is slowing down 

fast with Minions and especially Ant Man coming next week.

 

IO: Disney got clobbered again by Minions. 2013 repeat slaughter?

IO could get to DM2 number without the Yellow Pills goofing

around

My bad, was giving it a 130m OW instead of more like a 120m one. Even still, 3x isn't that tough for animated movies. Unless they're poorly received (like Shrek 3), 3x is usually a given.

[Gopher]

Anybody else call San Andreas and Mad Max to close to double Ted 2/Terminator?

Anybody?

[Jandrew]

The Despicable Me franchise is the Shrek franchise of the 2010's. They're pretty similar.

[MovieMan89]

Lol at MM and TG being neck and neck for the weekend now despite MM opening to 15m less last weekend. Guess we judged MM's endurance prematurely. Come to think of it, MM even has a chance to stay flat from last weekend with that Fri.

Australia will be at least 33 million - it's already at 24 million

 

That 24m is in AUD.

[KATCH-2D2]

Can't believe how fast Ted2 is fading. I thought it'd do at least half of the original even with the much lower OW. Is the movie that bad?

Minions gonna make yet another 2015 alteration to the all time WW records. At the rate this year is going, only Titanic and Avatar will survive the all time WW top ten.

TG will be at or near 80 million by the end of its third weekend. It making it to 90 million and will probably make it there by its 5th weekend(TomorowLand made it there in its 6th weekend). 90-95 million seems like a more realistic fall between number. Edited July 11, 2015 by gb0708

We're getting at least two more 1b movies this year (Spectre and The Force Awakens). Watch Mockingjay and Good Dinosaur make a run for it too.

Everything with less than 1.5 billion needs to worry.

But Titanic and Avatar can rest on their laurels.

Pretty crazy year, even with the bad exchange rate.

I'm not ruling out MI5 either at this rate. GP was a pretty big OS hit 4 years ago and look where the market is now. A DOM increase for it seems highly likely too.

No I think this is an USD

So going to the drive-in is a pretty miserable experience. I haven't been in years and I'll probably never go again. 

[zackzack]

JW won't beat Titanic due to stupid animation movies.

 

"Stupid animation movies?"

 

Like Minions?

 

Despicable Me is a sweet comedy about a hardened guy who finds spiritual salvation in

his adopted children. DM2 is about father's fear of losing his child to the big bad world

represented by the minions turning into an army of aggressive purple aliens. I always

thought the spy stuff, gadgets, are just genre stylings, nothing more.

 

Minions, I do agree, is only about the goofy antics of the Minions.

So animation OW record is still possible, just needs an amazing Saturday... Probably won't happen though. Oh well.

40

30

115

That's what I see right now.

Last Drive-in I've been to was when I lived in Santa Cruz CA nearly 20 years ago.  Double feature of Men in Black and The Lost World with an intermission between.  My memories of the drive-in are pretty good but I probably wouldn't like it much now.

I just don't watch them anymore and haven't for over a decade.  I feel like I've grown out of them, but thats not to say anyone older who still watches them is abnormal.
