WEEKEND THREAD | B.O numbers Page 28: Final Divergent movie opens at $29m, Zoo: $38m

[The Gotham Bank]

The Revenant crossed $180M on Friday. To think a movie like this made only $20M short of Spectre's gross. Great run.

Shame that Grimsby is doing so terribly. I dunno how it managed to drop 0 cinemas this weekend, I guess there really is nothing else out.

[SchumacherFTW]

Isn't that projected Cloverfield Lane weekend above the originals second? Any chance of a purge situation??

It's in its 2nd weekend in the US and theaters are contracted for 2 weeks, it will drop a ton next weekend.

Zootopia being #1 on it's 3rd weekend?......Sweet.

 

I wonder how it's OS-gross is going? With numbers like these, it's almost nearing Ice-Age/Minions OS territory.

In Germany, Zootopia 3rd weekend is bigger than KFP3 OW.

With China going to do 220m+ it's got a shot a billion WW

I think some projections had it plagued at over 900M+, which means it absolutely has a shot at a billion. That being said, hardly would this be the 1st 900M+ animation to die in the beach (The Lion King, Despicable Me 2, Finding Nemo and Shrek 2 all have over 900M; guess their studios couldn't be assed to push it a little forward). Regardless, the fact that Zootopia of all films may stand amongst those is pretty insane, considering my initial judgments of the film a bunch of months ago.

2 of its dailies were already ahead of the first. Tuesday and Wednesday.

True.

 

Well, now that you mentioned The Lion King......the more i thought about it......why didn't The Lion King 3D get a China release? If it did....it would have gotten over $1B WW, easily. Then we would have been talking about the first 2D animated film to join the billion dollar club.

 

Maybe a future theatrical re-release would get that film there. That film is THE closest film to the $1B WW-club....but not get there....with $987M WW.

Outstanding for Zootopia and Deadpool per usual. I don't buy a 13M weekend for Cloverfield with a Friday like that.

[kayumanggi]

DEADPOOL is doing amazingly well. It has now passed GOTG and is going to pass SPIDER-MAN III this weekend.

Lion King and Nemo only got over $900m after re-releases. And sure, let's push Shrek 2 $80m further when it's already finished, what's the big deal. 

 

Looking at Rango and The Lorax's numbers in the third weekend of March, if Zootopia's Friday is under $10m it likely won't reach $35m for the weekend. Still a great hold though.

I'm just saying. None of them made it to 1B, regardless of wheater or not they stopped naturally. Although Lion King 3D, like mentioned, could've gotten to a billion w/a China release, considering how close it ended up.

ZOOTP needs a 36m weekend to touch 200m.

Then 2.78 x 36m = 100m more to touch 300m.

 

Lorax had a 22.764m 3rd weekend and added 2.44 x 22.764m = 55.6m more to it's run.

 

So 300m for ZOOTP looks very likely.

Next weekend will be the final test for it. If it can survive BvS, and i think it will, 300m will surely happen.

Theaters are usually obliged to show a film for at least two weekends.

This is exactly what I've been thinking will happen since the great reviews for 10 Cloverfield Lane came out!

Can you guys believe that the movie of year will be already released next week?
