I am about to blow a gasket having to repeat myself over and over, if you (or BKB & NP) don't understand how piracy is having zero effect beyond the normal blockbuster & how Civil War is performing almost exactly in line compared to AOU & IM3 then it's pointless to keep going. Literally everyone on here but those two thinks that argument is conspiracy nonsense. Now I'm done.

 

I'm not one to usually agree with giantcal..but I do this time...100%!

CA:CW is increasing over CA:WS, big time and is going to hit $400m domestic. Hitting that was my upper level of expectation anyway so I'm super thrilled with it's performance. 

It'll be at or about $350m domestic with today's receipts. No one should be crying in their beer about this films performance. Disney won't be. 

[CaptainJackSparrow]

I absolutely loved Angry Birds. I laughed every minute. If you're on the fence please go see it!

[CJohn]

The conspiracy theory guys still need to explain me how American Sniper and The Revenant did so much with crystal clean copies available online 1 month before their wide releases.

 

They always avoid explaining this one.

[RandomCat]

I still think it's WB paying audiences to not see it.

Seriously, just whip it out and get this piracy measuring contest over with.

It takes a lot to get almost everyone to agree on something here, could we all be the crazy ones? I guess it's possible in one of the infinite universes in the multiverse but we aren't in this one.

I hope Civil War's weekend gross will go up with actuals

[JohnnyGossamer]

The piracy impact is negligible. I'm shocked people feel otherwise. Like, maybe, over/under $5M of Caps overall DOM gross and $10M on the OS gross. No more and no less than it impacts any other pirated blockbusters.... Which is to say, most blockbusters.

July as a whole is going to be big. Either BFG or Tarzan or both will do100M+, SLOP will be 250+, Ghostbusters will open to more than 50M, Star Trek looks fantastic, Ice Age will be massive overseas, and Bourne will gross similar to Ultimatum. 

Neither will hit 80M

I loved the comments and references on society during Zootopia. It elevated it beyond just another kids cartoon.

 

I've had to start watching cartoon films recently because my boyfriend likes them.

 

I had to go and see Minions (horrendous) and Inside Out (boring) last year. Zootopia was far better. Zootopia was miles better than The Jungle Book too, which bored me.

 

Secret Life of Pets will explode this summer, that trailer gets laughs from adult audiences nevermind just the target children.

Yeah, I agree with this. Inside Out really disappointed me (and so did Big Hero 6, while we're at it) so I was half-expecting Zootopia to do the same. I was very happy without how much I ended up enjoying it. I might even call it my favourite of Disney's Revival Era so far (replacing Tangled) but I'll watch it a few more times before I do. I'm glad it's done and is doing so well.

I am hoping it's Sunday will be better than the 33.3% drop (which imo they used to have it at 33.1m). Could go down as well but looking at IM3 and AOU, this Sunday held better than the previous one for them. 33.5m please.

[WrathOfHan]

I don't know how anyone could hate Inside Out, even Baumer liked it

I don't recall but did either of AoU or IM3 fall on Memorial Day weekend here? If so, that's why each had softer drops on Sunday.

No, like with CA3 MD was the 4th weekend for them too.

Sunday 2nd vs 3rd weekend was -35.2% vs -29.8% for IM3 and -33% vs -32.4% for AOU.

So a lot better for IM3. Marginally better for AOU but hardly a trend. So I am being optimistic maybe.

(MD Sundays were great ofcourse)

Yeah, but the implication is that it's still just kiddie fodder.

 

Yeh, not an implication, a fact. It's a cartoon for children.

 

I'm saying adults are howling at the trailers too. They're the ones who pay for the tickets and drive to the cinema.

 

Secret Life of Pets will do $300m+.

The big irony here is that I'm about one of the those who firmly believe that piracy has no effect on CW's performance. Here are two posts I wrote a few days ago:

 

Spoiler

 

 

The difference though, is that I know that can be wrong which is why I tried to discuss it with him rather than dismiss his opinion. Implying that the majority is always right in a BO thread is laughable. I wonder whether the "majority" would have guessed that a movie like Deadpool could do $350m+.

[a2k]

No actuals yet

 

[grim22]

Monday holds will be 10% better than normal due to the Canadian holiday but there will be no Tuesday increases as a result.

[Captain Craig]

US school districts in some areas are getting out as well. Mostly in Southern and Midwestern States so expect better dailies in the lead up to Memorial Day weekend as well.
