Exactly. Add Blue Sky with Peanuts also.

 

Peanuts?

 

You mean overseas?

[WrathOfHan]

At this point beating TGD is KFP3's target, legs will be nonexistent when Zootopia is out. It'll probably get 18-20M for the 4 day next weekend then sub 10M Feb 19.

Peanuts had an 1 year and a half campaign. It ended up with a solid OW and shit legs and it bombed OS.

It will do 25M over the next 4-day weekend, IMO.

What reason is that?

 

Well maybe not a reason, since the third film is making even less then the second domestically, but being released the same weekend as an R rated comedy sequels, seems to never do Dreamworks any favors.

 

Also these days, you need to have your sequels ready by two years or the ticket sales are gonna go down it seems, and animated movies take quite a while to do, so Kung Fu Panda was doomed in that regard as well.

Over the last 18 months, I've been slowly using They Shoot Pictures's 1,000 greatest films list. I employ a random number generator and watch whatever ranked film, be it #1 or #768. It's been a terrific way to catch old films I've never seen.

 

That's pretty cool. How do you find some of them to watch, though? I can't imagine they're all easily available on streaming.

Ice Age 4 did 877M WW. I think it is gonna do just fine  I also think Ice Age has way more teen appeal than Kung Fu Panda. At least over here it is not even close.

For the harder-to-find films that aren't streaming, I use Putlocker. Usually have luck. Please note I'm not advocating piracy. If a film is available to stream or rent, I do so. But if Rey's The Music Room from 1958 isn't available by those means, I'll search for it online.

Exchange rates were far more favorable to IA4 & the earlier ones, I highly doubt IA5 comes anywhere near any of the previous installments. Domestic seems to be irrelevant for that series.

Ice Age 5 will probably barely make over 100m, around 600m to 700m worldwide. At this point Blue Sky is only making sequels because the higher-ups at Fox are demanding them.

I don't know about you but I think Star Wars can still leg it to a billy.

OS, Ice Age is one of the most popular animated series.

 

DOM it pretty much always stays in the same 160-200 m range.

 

Easy money for Fox.

Even if this one "only" does 700M WW, we are still getting another one.

Hail, Caesar was good. A bit disjointed. Also the marketing pushed it as a farcical screwball when its not at all.

It's not?  I was hoping it was a throwback to the brilliant 1930s screwball comedies. What is it then?
