Crazy how we're getting yet another 100m+++ OW grosser for Universal when they had none to start with at the beginning of the year. 

[Empire]

I think Minions will finish with 119M OW.

Not only that, but no other studio has had two, let alone three, films cross that mark on OW in a single year. Universal has really arrived this year, and it'll be curious to see if they can make the Warcraft film a huge hit next summer.

Saw Minions. Didn't like it all that much. It was humourous in parts but it just felt like it was a skit that went too long.

But the audience I saw it with seemed to love it.

That artistic integrity though... GIMMICK.

[vc2002]

Universal is really kicking all kinds of butts this year.

[grim22]

If Minions keeps pushing that number up like it did yesterday and ends with around 45M, we will see a new animated OW record holder for sure.

Hell, JP4 technically had three $100m weekends during its run. Two on opening weekend and then again on second weekend, lol.

I have no idea what long-term WOM is going to be for Minions. My showing got rousing applause, but I left a showing of JW and passed a Minioms showing getting out, and overheard a parent asking their kid "was that the worst movie ever?" Or was it the other way around. Still, to hear that...

[VGPOP]

Saw minions, sold out, the movie is funny in some parts. They speak lots of Spanish. Love them. Overall, ok movie. B-

[Bishop54]

Goooooo JW...my 10th showing had a bunch of newbs in the crowd, they ate it up. I had a smile the whole entire time. Claire is bad ass, she's awesome!

Actually, Disney had two $100m OWs in 2010 (Alice/TS3), and Lionsgate+Summit had two in 2012 (THG/BD2). But you're right, nobody has had three. Even adjusted for inflation. (Inflation gives Paramount two in 2008, IM1/Indy 4)

Wow.

We just died. Like it was super fucking busy right up until 5. We hit 4,000 people! Which was right in line with the insanity of Jurassic World's Saturday.

Then since then, we've only done another 1,000!

I don't know what the fuck happened.

Still a decent increase from Friday isn't it?

[ClaudeManhattan]

What are the TG and MMXXL Saturday numbers

[vc2002]

Kinda interesting that none of the three 100m opening films that Universal had this year is a comics-adaptation. I mean, this is the blockbuster era of comics-adaptations isn't it?

Kids only there for Minions stopped showing up since it was getting late?

A collective "It's a beautiful July Saturday. What the hell are we doing seeing Minions?". Also, I'm disturbed by the recent lack of various "fudge" puns.

Nah, I'm joking! You guys overuse "fudge" to the point where it just ain't funny anymore.

Kinda? But hitting that number that early was getting us pumped. Then it just died and stayed dead.

It's not like there's anything going on right now is there? No sporting events that I can think of....

[kayumanggi]

Hope all the higher ranges happen.
