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+.

Whoops, I thought you were saying that only children were laughing at the Pets trailer.

The reactions for the Pets trailers have been nothing short of emphatical everytime I've seen them with full audiences. If not for Dory I would say it could be a true animation box office phenomenon, but even with Dory I think 300 is happening.

Actuals are up on BOM. Did people not see it or do they...just not care anymore?

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.

 

Just to play devil's advocate: AS and The Revenant played to a considerably older audience than CW. My in-laws see maybe two movies a year; they've never seen an MCU flick in the theater, though. They saw both AS and the Revenant at the cinema, though!  And they have definitely never illegally (or legally!) downloaded a movie. I doubt piracy is much of an issue for the over-50 crowd.

I was hoping for Angry Birds' actual to increase...Studios could have overestimated due to Holiday in Canada

[WrathOfHan]

Angry Birds is lucky that it has a month to itself before Dory hits.

I just don't know WHY you keep going so high with it day in and day out. It's almost a morbid curiosity at this point.

It's not a conscious decision. It's just how the time series model works out. I've finally settled on the exact process that I use to generate my model, so it should start going steadily downward with time.

Unless it's right.

This won't be popular with those are are convinced the GA is tired of comic book movies or that certain recent movies are failing, but it's a logical retort to the "comic book fatigue" claim:

 

 

[CJohn]

Angry Birds is gonna crawl to reach the 100M lol. They should have released it in September. 

[Hatebox]

Did the guy in that video say 'inference' when he meant 'implication'? I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

 

While he's basically right in that there's nothing to back up the assertion that there's comic book movie fatigue, his '3% of movies but 30% of anticipation' is a bit of chicken and egg logic — do people anticipate SH movies because the media hypes them up to a wildly disproportionate level at the expense of every other genre, or is it the other way round? I honestly don't know anymore.
