Weekend Estimates (pg8): Mockingjay 18.6M | Krampus 16M | Creed 15.54M | TGD 15.51M

[Gumby]

Was thinking of seeing Krampus, but am not a huge fan of a ton of comedy mixed with horror.

Is this more horror or comedy?

TGD comes in at the proper expectation and it's all of the sudden not holding well?? Yall are crazy this is NORMAL post weekend animation behavior - Pixar is not immune to the natural trend of this time of year. 

Exactly. It's like some of you have never followed box office before.

 

That's really good for Krampus, actually. After all, it's a Christmas horror comedy, which is far from an easy sell.

That's a great jump for Creed. Probably a better weekend than expected coming in.

It's worth noting that Krampus is on track to have the 4rd highest opening for a post Thanksgiving opener of all time, behind Star Trek VI, Behind Enemy Lines, and The Last Samurai. Not too shabby.

 

But jeez, TGD is not holding up well. Dropped much more than Frozen did. I'm going to see it today, hope my opinion is closer to Tribefan's than Gopher's.

[WrathOfHan]

Jesus, TGD went down from estimates.

[filmlover]

Krampus looks kinda fun, although any time I have seen trailers or ads for the film I can't help but think that it's so weird to see Toni Collette in a movie like this. lol. I'm reminded of Jennifer Tilly's self-parodying turn as herself in that Chucky movie where she said, "I'm an Academy Award nominee, and now I'm fucking a puppet."

[MrFanaticGuy34]

TGD....Pixar's first ever film to never hit #1 on weekends.

 

Will it happen or not?

First half is more full-on comedy, last half has more horror than comedy.

I hope LG is lowballing on MJ2 because that's a terrible jump.

Holy Cow, Krampus broke out! I had a feeling it might, Guess you can call the Good Dinosaur, the Bombing Dinosaur now. 

[The Panda]

Wow, Creed might outgross the Good Dinosaur if it legs well

[Webslinger]

Great number for Krampus. I thought that $6 million was where it was headed for the whole weekend, not Friday.

 

The Good Dinosaur's performance is far from shocking. This weekend is historically rough for family films, and the film's opening last weekend pretty much guaranteed that it would fall in this range. The numbers are definitely soft for a Pixar film, but then, the hype and quality of advertising never felt anywhere near Pixar's typical level.

[Bonenash]

good jump for Creed and The martian LOL the jumpf of victor F..... And BTW TFA still number one in Saturday on MT lol....... INSANE above INSANE over INSANE of Insanity

Well, duh. I don't assume that many prospective viewers fear that they will be sold out of Krampus, In the Heart of the Sea, or any of the holdovers. Star Wars, on the other hand...

[Maxmoser3]

Not bad for Krampus.

[Maxmoser3]

Also a fun fact the last time Universal released a horror film post-thanksgiving was the lackluster Psycho remake released on December 4th 1998.

[Harley]

I want to see Krampus so bad. 

 

LOL at VF still being in so many theaters. $79 average. What are they thinking?
