Tuesday Actuals: Minions 16.84 | IO 3.29 | JW 2.79 (Page 8)

[BoxOfficeZ]

2.8 would prob be the better #,  Minions could look to hit 17,  IO 3.3, JP4 2.8 

 

Canada as usual big tues increase,  NYC went ballistic on tues with number films as did few other markets, LA had some bumps to but not to extent of NYC 

 

17m.

Holy fuuuuuuuuck at those Minion numbers.

Watch Minions end up beating AoU DOM and WW.

$1,520.6B according to BOM. Let's see if Universal confirms these numbers .

So it did outgross TA? Oh boy.

Watch Minions end up beating AoU DOM and WW.

That would take a massive gross in China to do that.

Also...AOU opened at $191M and Minions only opened at $115M. So it's not that easy...the lower it opens, the less likely it could get there.

[JennaJ]

But just wait, it's gonna take a tumble after the third weekend! WOM is gonna kick in any minute now!

LOL.

Amazing number for Minions, plus it's nice to see everything go up like this. Hope JW can somehow manage 600m by Thursday.

I'm kidding. Or at least kidding unless it does like 75m+ this weekend.

[zackzack]

Has there been a year when a single studio has 3, yes 3, $1B WW grossers?

Universal could achieve this feat in 2015. 

[sfran43]

This is from BOM, I wouldn't count my chickens just yet. We know how "right" they always are.

[MrFanaticGuy34]

I knew you were kidding

But again, we just never know.

[James]

Oh, I love Minions' run. It just shuts everyone up.

[JennaJ]

What's stranger to me is that they somehow added 1m to Avengers total since yesterday. it's now listed as having 1,519.6.

This is from yesterday:

Great news for Universal. FF7 came back up to 3rd place WW.

Excellent news for F7 and Uni.

It's going to get even better for them soon once #3 and #4 all time WW are both Universal movies. Heck, maybe even #5 IF Minions can outgross AOU!! Going to be very tough but Uni is still going to have 3 1b grosses in one year nevertheless. Crazy!

They probably added an extra 1M for OS. Again....some late BO-updates for older movies can actually happen anytime.

Yeah. This is Universal's direct message to Disney.

And Universal would say.."This is our year now! And nothing can stop us."

But it hasn't been playing anywhere in years... Has it?

IDK, I wouldn't doubt it if this was not BOM with their constant mistakes... But it is.

ETA: I guess it could possibly be explained by Avengers marathons with AOU's release. Maybe.

Still I'd wait for official word from Universal because I don't trust BOM anymore.

It's not that weird. DH2's OS number was updated with almost 20m a year ago or so.

I know...but studios sometimes do update the OS gross of a blockbuster to a higher gross, when they need it..even if it doesn't play in theaters DOM.

Paramount did that with TF4, numerous times.

Even Disney did that with The Lion King. That film was updated to $987M WW, in the close end of 2013.

Minions won't have near the legs DM2 had. At some point, the mediocre to poor word of mouth will have an effect. But not until everyone who wants to see those little yellow guys has seen it once. But it will eventually have an effect. DM3 will be hugely effected because the movie just didn't quite match the insane hype. Unless it gets very good reviews so that people know it is more of what they loved about the original, it's BO will go down from Minions.

[JennaJ]

We need someone to coin a Minions-specific version of "crumbling".
