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

[DAJK]

Makes me wonder how well Moana can do this winter. If reviews are as good and buzz builds, I'm thinking Disney Animation could have 2 250M+ grossers this year.

'Whiskey Tango Foxtrot' brought in $300k from Thursday night screenings in ~1,700 theaters https://t.co/IytmakEvy7 pic.twitter.com/QqVx5g0P4N

Zootopia has to open to $65m-$70m+ for $300m to be realistic. I know reviews are very positive but getting substantially above a 4x multiplier is not an easy task.

It will, so...

It'd be nice to see this size of an OW! 

 

It would set the bar high for other animated films this year, only Dory realistically could top that

WTF is basically on track for 6-8M.

If Zootopia does 300m we'll have 4 films (along with DP, BvS, CW) making 300m before the summer.

 

EDIT: Also, did DP become the 1st movie released before March to make 300m? Alice was in March. Sniper should count but technically it was released in Dec of the previous year.

American Sniper should count because it didn't go wide until January. Sniper's run was incredible considering it was a R rated war film, even OS it did pretty well almost cracking $200m 

 

While The Lorax had a very good OW, its legs weren't great for an animated film with only a 3 multiplier and it underperformed OS partly due to Universal not releasing it until the summer in some markets and also Dr Seuss not having the same cultural impact that he does in the US

I think it is the only 400m+ grosser before May. BvS should join it hopefully.

At least it's better than Our Brand Is Crisis. I plan on checking it out this weekend.

Like evolution, the process is slow but hopefully steady and in the right direction.

Hoping to catch Zootopia tomorrow. Sadly, there's no late shows to avoid whiny kids.

That wise man also said, "To win the general you have to be willing to lose the primary." Genius.

Passion of the Christ was released in February and got to 300m.

I almost couldn't find the weekend thread. Happy that it's pinned, much easier to find on mobile.
