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

I also think Minions could finish a bit higher than IO.

And I know Alfredstellar is gonna nag about our thoughts and think otherwise, because he is an IO-fanboy. I know him that well.

That's what fanboys do. They don't want another film to win over their favorite. I can imagine him saying something any minute now.

That's not how it goes. If a film does win over the other, we have to accept it. Don't be butthurt.

 

Can we please, at least, stop referring it to "winning"? Again, both films won. I don't think anybody can argue that.

 

And yes, Minions will finish higher than IO... but I don't think it'll be a significant amount.

Tuesdays have just been unusually strong this summer. No other explanation.

 

Minions looking good:

12.8

13.1 

17.5

22.5

18 

 

$228.9 million 10 day ($58 million for 2nd weekend) 

 

IO

2.5

2.4

4.0

5.3

4.1

 

$305.7 million by July 19th ($13.4 million 5th weekend)

 

JW

1.9

2.0

2.8

3.8

2.9 

 

$606.4 million by July 19 ($9.5 million 6th weekend) 

 

Minions making a run at $425-450 million DOM, IO making a run at $340-360 million DOM, JW chugging along to $640-650 million DOM... just a typical week of summer 2015 

 

40% Friday increase for JP4 seems too low. It has jumped an average of 66.4% each week so far and none of the jumps are below 60%. It simply is not performing like a movie released in the middle of summer. It already had a pretty bad Monday drop, so I would guess the Friday jump will be 50% or more once again.

Amazing Tuesday, awesome increase for IO, shows that it's a marathon not a three week sprint race

It'll lose some theaters this week due to Ant-Man. That's why I think it'll get hurt slightly more than the last couple of weeks. 

 

I'd love to see it get a 50%+ Fri jump, though!

I am curious to see the theater count too, but the last two weeks it lost an average of 378 theaters and the Friday jump was an average of 68.6%.

Ant-Man's the first direct competition JW has gone up against its entire run.

 

IO/Minions have crossover, but aren't PG-13 tentpoles

 

Terminator was too dark to bring in families. 

 

Ted 2, Gallows, Self/Less, Max and XXL weren't competition, either.

 

Ant-Man and Pixels are family-friendly tentpoles, however... so I think JW will be hurt more by these two than anything it's gone up against so far. MI5/F4 lack kid appeal, so JW should start holding well again from the end of July to Labor Day. 

[grim22]

Current Ant-Man showtimes for previews in OC - 142. Slightly less than Terminator + Magic Mike XXL a day before release.

Stop it! Using common sense is not allowed here.

Remember, franchises earn more bo than original films, so I guess Minions will beat Inside Out. I hope Inside Out stays on top *crosses fingers.

I mentioned in the other thread-- no matter who wins now, in five years Inside Out will be on millions of shelves and audiences will marvel at how they made five Despicable Me movies.

Monday number came, people said Minions might miss $300m. Tuesday number came, people said it could hit $450m.

This forum is fun

Tomorrow, when the course correction comes in with a big drop, it's gonna miss $250m.

Crumbling. Empty theaters everywhere.

Well no. This year we have JW, FF7, AoU...oh well.

Jurassic World is crumbling.

 

Minions has only three weeks!

[baumer]

After minions falls 25% tomorrow they will pull it out of the theaters by this weekend.

The Ted 2 box office run is baffling, it is playing like a Hangover 3 without ever having a very profitable but disappointing Hangover 2 in between.

I blame the 3 year window between movies.

I blame the 3 year window between movies.

I blame the poor marketing

So IO increased 24% on it's 1st Tue and fell 28% on Wed.

I hope the same ratio does not hold with Minions (+30% on Tue). I don't think any movie has fallen 35% on it's first wed.

I will accept a -30% Wed, 12m.
