Deadlines multipliers are terrible again

 

1). The Jungle Book (DIS), 4,028 theaters / $32.4M Fri. (includes $4.2M previews) / 3-day cume: $87M to $88M / Wk 1

 

That would pretty much require it to stay near flat today.

 

They're calculating for the front-loaded-ness of the Kipling fanboy effect

If Zootopia can sneak past 1B, and Jungle Book has strong legs to take in there as well, Disney will have three 1 billion dollar movies in the first half alone... with Finding Dory, Rogue One, Moana to come. Even Alice 2 may surprise.

Alice 2 wont surprise, thats going down.

No way, it's going up today. 

 

 

I'm really starting to think we're lowballing it. I'm going with 32.4M from Friday, Sat 43.9, Sun 37M = roughly 110-113M. (depending on drops).

[eXtacy]

95m would be reasonable assumption

[WrathOfHan]

The real question is does it perform like a Disney remake or an animated film?

Beauty and the Beast is going to be a fucking monster next year.

I think it'll put some people off if it is a musical like someone said a few pages ago.

[CaptainJackSparrow]

I doubt Beauty and The Beast will do anything more than Cinderella numbers. A huge hit, but not phenomenal thanks to boys not wanting to see it.

 

Jungle Book is a true 4 quadrant film.

It is a musical. But let's not forget the Broadway show was a monster as well.

Pretty ridiculous. Lowest I can see is 91-92M, more likely 95-96M with a decent shot at 100M.

Could be but I would argue Jungle Book is a really special film for many reasons.

 

It s by the far the best of this whole live action/CGI revival thing Disney has been doing.

 

A movie people will remember  and the beginning of a new franchise.

[La Binoche]

Beauty and the Beast will do better than Cinderella. No doubt about it.

Nah, musical + lack of spectacular visuals + too 'girly' = not a "monster" hit.

Easily, it's going to have a 4+ multiplier.  It could do $9m

 

Pretty much agree

BvS  (using F7)

Fri  2.36M

Sat 3.66M  (+55%)

Sun 2.23M (-39%)

Weekend:  8.25

 

Zoo (using Home)

Fri  2.14

Sat 4.26  (+99%)

Sun 2.77 (-35%)

Weekend 9.17

No as optimistic BUT expecting it to approach $40M today stay over $30M Sunday for a $100M OW.

[WrathOfHan]

Beauty will do 220-240

[Joel M]

I wonder if this will be another top-heavy year with a few mega hits and everything else below or just over 200M. It seems like another year with more 300m+ movies than 200-300m movies.

I absolutely can't wait for the live action Dumbo and Winnie the Pooh films. I am expecting Into the Woods numbers for both.

It seems box office is concentrating on the big tentpoles.
