Weekend Estimates (Page 28): Kung Fu Panda 3 - 41M, The Finest Hours 0- 10.3M, The Revenant - 12.4M...Sunday holds better than expected.....SW over 11 mill and KFP3 over 41 pg 34

Minions did surprise most.  @department store basement, you're talking about people being surprised it didn't make 350 after it's huge opening weekend.  But before it opened, most, if not all of the members here, thought it would do less than DM2 and many thinking around 300 or a bit less.

As time goes by, people will realize how Star Wars and even Jurassic World were freaks of nature.

Absolutely agree.  The box office for the both of them is really incredible.  And it really does show the power of the brand.  Both were coming off previous films that apparently weren't all that liked, and yet they set box office records.  That is truly incredible.

They already do I think

 

Some bo runs, not comparable to SW or JW, but still great in their own way don't get talked about probably due to lack of social media back then. I remember being very impressed by The Aviator's legs when it released and took another look at it.

 

 

ow : 8.6m (1,796 theaters) / 0.858 in limited release before that (40 theaters)

max theater count : 2,530

dom : 102.6m

It'll pass 900 by Friday.  It's going to be at 894 by the end of this weekend.  920-930 is a good bet.

 

920M is locked, it just passed JW dailies and weekends are alot bigger. So 930 is the floor i think, afther that it's just guessing

Not a huge shock that KFP underwhelmed. It's a diverting but pretty much completely disposable franchise

 

Disposable?

[kayumanggi]

11.3 M? Argh.

[pepsa]

Any chance actuals go up? I hope i would hit 12M

Kung Fu Panda 3 will see a big increase and will end with a good OW. KFP2 did 47M back in 2011. This one was never gonna surpass KFP2's OW.

I watched the first one and it seemed twilight tier, a teenage girls wet dream. The production and scenery was lacking also, then those cheesy scenes where they were running about made me cringe tbh fam.

They are both part of the two most beloved franchises of all-time. The power of nostalgia.

Wasnt B.O and most of ppl here expecting an OW above $50m? After the first movie, this franchise only had disappointments
