Huge Tuesday over Tuesday drop for Minions. Will be interesting to see the theater drops for IO and Minions this weekend. Per theater average was almost the same for both yesterday even though IO is in 1,000 more theaters.

Inside Out had a huuuuuge increase of theaters after it was at lots of places out othe theater..., Minions a small decline = not directly compareable IMHO

Sony insiders say they would be happy with an opening in the low teens, considering Perfect Guy cost less than most Screen Gems titles, or $12 million. The film opens Friday in 2,200 locations (the studio won't do Thursday-night previews).

Perfect Guy must be truly bad if Sony is avoiding doing previews for it. The Visit will surely have previews.

BO.com says the Visit and the Perfect Guy will be very close in numbers this weekend.

I understand that IO had a huge theater increase. My point was that because of its increase, it had 1,000 more theaters than Minions and yet almost matched Minions per theater average yesterday. Minions had a HUGE Tuesday over Tuesday drop yesterday. 60%.

I was just pondering what would happen to each movies theater counts this weekend and if IO will continue to outperform Minions dailies from here on out. HT2 is going to have a big impact on theater counts coming up. I think IO may well finish 20 million ahead of Minions now.

What a huge summer for animation with these 2 monsters. Over 2 billion worldwide between the 2 and close to 700 million domestic.

I meant with my comment that the appetite for seeing might have been higher for IO than normal as it was partly already out of some the cinemas for a longer time = a sum of a bit to more builded up interest, with the knowledge that it is a time limited opportunity

= I do not think it could hold its numbers for long, as the most of the audience interested into it will already have seen it often enough. Hence the not direct compareable, it's another situation IMHO as Minions number patterns show

 

Plus now the additional info rth provided...

 

Only a hint about it might be a bit too early to get high hopes

IO looks like it's taking a massive theater hit this weekend so it should fall pretty hard.
