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

[DAJK]

Pretty great numbers for MockingJay tbh, after the doom and gloom we all called last weekend. Will finish with over 280M, which at this point, seems like a big win.

 

Creed will do almost 40M for the 5-day which is pretty fantastic. Legs should carry it to 120M or maybe even more if it gets some nice awards nominations. And Good Dinosaur I will admit it slightly underwhelming. Will finish wth 180-200M, which is definitley on the low end for Pixar. But while the movie was still pretty great, it is closer to the lower end for Pixar quality as well. Overseas could do 400M+ though, so it'll be fine.

falling under most peoples predictions and not outgrossing Part 1 is not really a win.

First friday was awful so it's not that big surprise. I thought it will be more.

Oh and happy birthday, water!

I don't understand the raves. Kick-Ass is way better.

Possibly getting the best multiplier in the franchise (ahem DH2 BD2) certainly is.

Yeah, I would love for the each film having better legs than the previous one to hold. Kind of a precious thing that The Hunger Games can hold.

With literally nothing else of note opening, there is no reason for Victor Frankenstein to have a record drop, top 10 maybe.

[movieboner]

The Martian is still hanging in there lol. It's been in the top 10 for 2 months, and I think it'll finish with $225 million.

You are right, the next 2 weeks only have 2 wide releases lmao (plus I guess some movies will take advantage of that to expand a bit, like Spotlight).

JA's probably better than about half the films I saw this summer. It's a mess, but at least it's an interesting one.

I have to say the TGD opening is somewhat disappointing, it is Pixar's lowest 3 day opening since Bugs Life, and even taking the full 5 days, only Ratatouille is lower apart from their first 2 movies. It is also definitely Pixar's lowest attended opening weekend ever. Wasn't it tracking ahead of Inside Out or something? It has a pretty good shot at being Pixar's lowest grossing movie ever.

[Maxmoser3]

Good Dinosaur will have decent legs and overseas, and Creed will have good legs to become Stallone's biggest hit since The Expendables back in 2010.

News of OD/OW trends has actually been really bad for The Good Dinosaur from a lot of international markets. It seemingly flopped badly in major markets like Germany, Italy and France. UK OD is all right probably but behind BoS OD.

It has to be the marketing, right? I mean I am a single guy in my 30s but I knew all about Inside Out months before it was released. I had to keep looking up what the hell TGD was weeks before release. It just felt flaccid. Like they weren't even excited to be releasing the film.

MJ2 will make 50.03m if it has MJ1's Sat and Sun drops.

Jupiter Ascending was enjoyable. Hardly the worst film of the year.

 

Worst films of the year would be things like Taken 3, The Visit, Sicario.
