Weekend Estimates (Page 25): Zootopia 73.7M | London Has Fallen 21.71M | Deadpool 16.4M | WTF 7.6M

[Arlo245]

Hope Zootopia has a big increase today around 65-75%. I would really like Friday to end up higher at $20 million and Saturday to increase 80% like The Lego Movie to $36 million and Sunday to fall around 30% to $25 million, giving it a massive $81 million opening. It's not $90 million or $100 million but it's still pretty damn massive. $100 million would require a fantasy scenario like $22 million Friday (up $4 million from estimates) and somehow a 109% Saturday increase to $46 million and a 30% decrease to $32 million. The most likely is $18 million Friday, $31 million Saturday and $22 million Sunday, $71 million weekend.

My showing was packed tonight and there weren't even that many kids there (it was a zoo with families leaving before it though). Matinees will be a monster tomorrow and Sunday for sure.

Thought it was great our showing was sold out and the small kids seemed to enjoy it as much as the adults. 

[DAJK]

Including previews, Zootopia opened to $20.6M today at our theatre. London Has Fallen did $5.8M but had really good WOM along with Zootopia.

[Dingdong123]

Well The Lorax had a 17.5 million Friday going into 70 million OW. I think 70-72 million is the target for Zootopia this time, all depending to WOM if ever this increases.

 

either way it's looking to topple WDAS's top opening weekend record from Frozen so AMAZING.

So I went to go see Zootopia and I loved it a lot more than I was expecting too. I definitely get the good reviews. I wonder if this will get snubbed for a best animated picture nomination like lego Movie was lol 

 

They better NOT. The Academy loves WDAS for the last couple of years with the back to back Oscars.

 

What will be interesting is whether thr studio will push Zootopia or Moana for that Oscar glory.

18m is good for Zootopia.

[Krissykins]

If Zootopia is opening to $70m I can only imagine what Secret Life of Pets is going to open to.

 

Zootopia looked funny, but the Secret Life of Pets trailer is hilarious. 

 

And I don't like cartoons.

The two franchises are so different, I'm not sure how it could work. I could understand a Ghostbusters/MIB crossover but this seems a crossover too far. 

 

 

 

Actually makes plenty of sense. Hill and Tatum get recruited by the MiB like Will did in the first movie. Done. 

[narniadis]

Secret Life of Pets gets huge audience reaction every time the trailer plays... another hit for Illumination 

[Mojoguy]

Zootopia is going to be bigger than Big Hero 6. Let that sink in for a moment. Zoo will beat a superhero CG animated film that had everything going for it.

[goldenstate5]

Sigh a little lower than I hoped for Zootopia. The WOM should propel it a little further, probably to 80 mil. Legs should be great, too.

Frozen was a Wed opener so comparing it's ow with Z would not be a fair comparison.

Comparing Zootopia's gross to LHF isn't fair.

 

One has a much bigger potential market.

[a2k]

DHD 3rd update says 18m+/70m+ (as opposed to 18m/70m). Don''t know if this was always the case or they recently added the '+' in the headline and first para.

 

Quote

3RD UPDATE, 9:02PM: This weekend belongs to Walt Disney’s Zootopia which is headed toward a record opening of $70M-plus, the best ever for an original Disney/non-Pixar animated film. That figure kicks aside Frozen’s $67.4M wide release debut. Today, inclusive of $1.7M in Thursday previews, Zootopia is looking at $18M+...

This weekend. So disappointing  

[a2k]

KFP3 is looking at 3.7m (-59%) according to DHD, for a total of 134m.

Should have enough steam to touch 145m.

% wise it's a much smaller drop from KFP2 than KFP2's drop from KFP1.

KFP3 had 5 years of inflation as opposed to 3 years of inflation that KFP2 had over it's predecessor. But KFP2 had advantage of extra 3D premiums over the first one.

Thank god I went lower than most on The Witch in the derby.
