THE SECRET LIFE OF PETS | 507.1 M overseas | 875.5 M worldwide

[kayumanggi]

I think 350 M is the floor.

Edited January 25, 2017 by kayumanggi

Yea right now am thinking

250m DOM

300m OS - China

50m China

Total: 600m WW

But I think both OS and DOM may end up a bit more, so it could go to 700m WW

[bangbingchan]

600M~700M WW is a safe bet.

The highest original non-Disney/Pixar animation is very possible.

[MinaTakla]

Right now, I'd say:

250m DOM

320-350 OS

570-600 WW

When will it release in China?

If it's a September release then it won't do well because this bad release date killed Minions in China last year

China August 2，Tuesday.

almost comfired.never expect so early.Early August is a little crowded.August 9 is half Chinese valentine's Day.A number of local romance films will release from August 5~August 12.But No very big hit has been in August yet.So it's better opening window than minions.Summer vocation and valentine's day in China.80~100M is on the roof.PETS maybe higher than minions due to summer vocation.

Thanks a lot for the update! Appreciate it!

Great release date in China IMO.

[Planodisney]

A good release date doesn't automatically guarantee huge box office just as a not so good release date doesn't automatically guarantee a 

bomb at the box office.

There are movies in ALL markets that do extremely well even though the release date isn't the best and movies that bomb with great release dates.

I didn't mean any number is locked.Good release date is much much better than bad.It looks more promising now.Though,most people have to wait for two months.Some will have the preview in Hongkong June 30.It's crowded summer for family films.PETS should do great with strong buzz from every trailer.

So this started its rollout today as previews in the UK.

Hope we get some numbers soon.

This is going to be the biggest non-Disney/Pixar original animated film. 750M maybe.

[HenryPotternoi]

$380M OS(70M from China)

Strong competition so I think $400M is out of reach but you never know.

 

[MinaTakla]

Biggest previews for an original animated film ever in the UK.

THE SECRET LIFE OF PETS made an estimated $15.2M overseas this weekend, ahead of its July 8 domestic release. #TheSecretLifeOfPets

[MinaTakla]

Ian Sandwell, Screen Daily:

The Secret Life of Pets holds off ID: Resurgence in the UK with a huge estimated £9.8m debut, including previews.

[Planodisney]

I don't think you can overestimate 

the effect of having "by the studio that brought you DM" in the previews in OS markets.

I see at least 500 million OS.

I think as far as domestic we can look to another hugely anticipated original animated release, The Lego Movie, to approximate gross.

I think it COULD go a bit higher than Lego Movie.  275-300.

The only thing that could hamper domestic legs somewhat is following 2 hugely successful animated releases.  Zootopia and Dory.  Both these films are having a much bigger impact domestic than OS.  Could mute Pets legs.

Anyway, I'm thinking 750-850 is about the sweet spot.
