THG? Are you really asking this?! Of course

What's your fave book?

Among the trilogy I assume... Probably Catching Fire although I absolutely love the ending of Mockingjay.

I have lots of friends who have watched the movie but haven't read the books... I've been telling then that they don't have any idea what's going to go down in the finale.

[eddyxx]

Yawn! Well I'll be gone next week!

(You know BOM is getting worse and worse with the stories-it now seems like a personal blog then a professional site with the way it is written-still has great data overall though and hope those never go away)

 

I don't even read it anymore.

[MrFanaticGuy34]

I wonder if Toy Story 4 and the fact Minions had mediocre WOM may affect it. Not to mention, the competition that DM3 faces this time is tougher compared to when DM2 came out with Pirates 5 which will do very well OS, War of the Planet of the Apes which is coming off a very liked previous film and the new Spider-Man film. 

 

I want to see Compton OS result as last week's was paltry, things have to improve when it releases in UK and Australia

 

True....And those movies could easily increase over their predecessors.

 

But i dunno....not many people feel that excited about TS4...especially how the third one ended.....

 

Pirates 5 could have a considerate increase over Pirates 4, both OS & WW. War of the Planet of the Apes will increase in all regions..DOM, OS & WW...which could have it act like LOTR: ROTK....the one threequel that grosses the most, even more than it's 2 great predecessors.

 

And the new Spider-Man film could see an increase in OS & WW-wise over TASM-series....thanks to China.

 

But.....DM3 will have Gru, Lucy & the girls back in that one....and it could be a better movie than Minions...so i think DM3 will act like a direct sequel to DM2.

Oh, I love the Mockingjay book too! It's so intense, cruel and real, I don't get why most of persons dislike this book :/

Yeah, I can't wait to see the reaction of the GP at cinema during this scene

[MrFanaticGuy34]

Minions' WOM in the US will be the biggest reason it goes down. I can't see it crossing 300M.

 

Unless it's good (better than Minions)...and if people see this as a direct sequel to DM2.

 

WOM is always the key...we can't base a big drop for the third one of a spinoff/prequel.

What should I see this weekend? Nothing looks good but I'm torn because I want popcorn.

[MinaTakla]

Minions' WOM in the US will be the biggest reason it goes down. I can't see it crossing 300M.

Nope

Minions' holds in the US have been excellent latetly. I still disagree about the WOM/toxic WOM theory. If that was true it would not have crossed 320.

I see DM3 as a bigger film OS and WW and over 300m DOM. If it's better than DM2 then 350+

DM3 could be seen as an avengers type event - meaning: Iron Man, Thor and Cap america all in one film. In the case of DM3, it's Gru & the girls back with the beloved Minions (Iron Man in the case of Avengers - the main draw)

[Ethan Hunt]

DM3 will decrease from Minions, its a forgone conclusion. I honestly don't think the WOM for Minions was terrible the movie just has a rush factor that cut its legs. Minions was always gonna decrease from DM2 and DM3 just won't be able to bounce back.

[Heat Vision]

China will push Terminator past 400 million

Inside Out will reach 700 million next week

Minions will reach 1 billion

JW will reach 1 billion IS

Antman doesn't grow lol

I don't think so. I still think DM3 will be on par or more.

Depends on the quality of course so early to tell but that's just my prediction. We can't say foregone conclusion when everyone before Minions hit the market said Minions won't make huge numbers bec Gru and the girls are not there

[Frozen]

Sinister 2

How bad is the gore on a level from 1-10?

[eddyxx]

I like Kristen, she's a solid actress.

It could decrease...but only a bit...

 

$300-305M as i see it. It will stay flat. I don't think the minions themselves are the only characters, people care about in the franchise.

I agree, look at Shrek Forever After, much better film compared to Shrek the Third but still decreased domestically and that had way less competition than DM3

 

I think the DM and Minions fans are going to be for a shock when it does decrease domestically, OS, it might increase a bit but I wouldn't be surprised if it decreases OS in many places.

SOC - I think this is the start of the Hip Hop Cinematic Universe

Maybe we'll get the Sugarhill Gang biopic everybody's been waiting for.

I said a hip hop the hippie to the hippie and you don't stop

Go to the store, get some Orville Redenbacher's, and watch something worthwhile at home. It's cheaper, and you'll probably enjoy the movie more.
