Magic Mike isn't dropping so maybe now a domestic total closer to 65 maybe?

Probably closer to $75 million, it's apparently not as frontloaded as the first movie.

Any mid-day Minions updates?

Tons and tons of fudge!

This thread is so dead 

 

Somewhere in the world, people are talking about Gadot, Leto's voice, and why Supe is bowing down to Jesse Eisenberg

Shouldn't every one bow to Jessie Eisenberg??

So Ted 2 dropped 66% last weekend? And no one even cared? Damn, 66 percent is brutal.

Bout to have another nasty drop too. For all the megahits this summer there have been some real failures

Minions opening, whether it be 110 mill or 130 mill is outstanding.  Our outlandish predictions don't make it any less impressive.  Can you name another film series where they branched off like this and it was this successful?

 

I seriously don't think there is any fudge here.  RTH even said as much.  He said the late night business was much busier than what he extrapolated. JW got a nice bump and Minons Friday is not fudged either.

 

JW still has s shot at Titanic.

 

TG is going to fall more than 50%.  More than I thought it would using 2009 as a model for guessing.  I didn't take into consideration that Minions would destroy a lot of hold over business, quite a bit more formidable than I Love You Beth Cooper.

 

Pixar really does cure disease.

Agreed on all fronts. I think JW is going to finish within like 5m of Titanic, whether it be over or under. IO's hold is amazing considering it's playing against the potential all time animated OW movie this weekend. It truly is having fantastic WOM that even I underestimated. I guess some of those 350 predictions are a possibility after all.

[VGPOP]

All jokes aside. Deadline usually posts those crazy early numbers. Or is it only for Fridays?

[Kvikk Lunsj]

First time I seen this thread. Holy shit at those numbers.

[Impact]

Well I did see Inside Out over the week and thought it was great-reviewed it as well in the RTM. Nice numbers for Minions!
