Weekend #s. MJ2 51.6/75.7M, TGD 39.2/55.6M lowest Pixar opening since Bugs Life, Creed 30/42M biggest OW for a boxing movie

[grim22]

Not as good as expected jumps for MJ2 and TGD. TGD will be Pixar's lowest 3 day weekend apart from Bug's Life and among their lower openers even considering the 5 day, TGD will end the 5 day stretch trailing Tangled by over 10M, MJ2 will trail MJ1 by over 30M, Creed will actually overperform expectations.

 

@BoxOffice: CREED earned an estimated $11.7M on Friday. 3-day domestic total is $24.18M. #Creed

 

@BoxOffice: THE GOOD DINOSAUR earned an estimated $15.663M on Friday. 3-day domestic total is $32.04M. #TheGoodDinosaur

 

@BoxOffice: THE HUNGER GAMES: MOCKINGJAY - PART 2 earned an estimated $21.25M on Friday. Domestic total is now $168.0M. #Mockingjay #TheHungerGames

Really hoping TGD can go up at least 1m with actuals. A Sat increase would be nice too, but that almost never happens thanksgiving weekend. 

[kayumanggi]

I hope everything goes up. The box office has been a little bit boring recently.

[Fancyarcher]

Deadline is so persistent to use cinemascores like they mean something, it's actually kinda really annoying at this point.

 

Okay for Mockingjay, poor for TGD (actual WOM looks to be kinda mixed), and good for Creed.

Numbers are just OK.

 

Slow weekend with lots of eating and shopping!

I really want to see some Danish Girl #'s. Really curious about that film's performance.

Terrible TERRIBLE weekend. This Thanksgiving flopped big time at the boxoffice!

Really sad for TGD. It is closer to Rise of the Guardian's 5 day opening than Frozen's. Not sure I get what the deal is there, especially since a mere few weeks ago many were predicting a 5 day opening higher than Frozen and tracking suggested that as well. It better have great WOM or I will officially be angry about its performance.

I only ever saw one trailer for it, attached to Spectre of all things, and it looked abysmal. 

[Gopher]

TGD marketing campaign was going so so so well until October. Then it's like Disney didn't decide to kick it into second gear. I heard nobody talking about the movie online or in real life, which has never happened for Pixar. No non-trade reviews were released until this week which reeked of the studio being afraid of a wide broad reception too early in the month. The fact that this definitely appeared their most "kiddie" film in a while, coupled with the fact that their comeback/most "adult" movie exploded just this year, this apparently seemed like a film worth burying for the studio. I doubt they're too upset, Dory and Moana are gonna do great great business next year (I refuse to believe movies like Zootopia can still make money). 

 

Creed is our first real breakout since The Martian. WOM's fantastic too. Should be able to play through January. 

 

Peanuts might not break a 3x. That's crazy, inexplicable and terrible. Watch families come out for everything over Xmas in full force. 

[babz06]

I guess everyone is dinosaur-ed out. 

[Mojoguy]

These last 5 years has been pretty awful for animated movies that opened on Thanksgiving weekend.

FLOPS:
Arthur Christmas (2011)
Rise of the Guardians (2012)
Penguins of Madagascar (2014)

Disappointing:
The Good Dinosaur (2015)

HITS:
Frozen (2013)

If an animated movie doesn't open high enough on Thanksgiving weekend, it kind of ends up falling off the map even with holiday weekdays.

The jury is still out on TGD, which really should be doing better because it is not like The Peanuts movie stole away all the audience or anything. Peanut's legs have been pretty bad for an animated film.

Deadlines 5 day cume for Creed are off. As of friday if the numbers is 27,3 after a 11,2 mill friday the 5 day will be in the 42-43 mill minimum and could go as high as 45 mill when WOM is this strong

Edited November 28, 2015 by fmpro

[Infernus]

The increase seems a little too low for both creed and TGD. I don't think they should have any problem having a 3 day over 30 and 40m respectively.

Well, tracking has just been shit lately, from this to HG to Spectre. I only expect that to continue with SW, BvS and Civil War.

[misafeco]

I don't believe these numbers. Just wait for official data.

[Deathlife]

Haven't been following the numbers very much lately (getting married and having a kid almost immediately is life consuming) but how are the Creed numbers?

 

I'm really rooting for that movie because I'm a big MBJ and Rocky fan.
