I told you this movie was easily breaking the animation OW. Finding nemo is one of the top 3 or 4 most popular animated films of all time. Glad dreck the turd is out of 1st place now.

9 years later and with 3d.

Shrek the Third is very bad but his OW was amazing.

pd:The real challenge is $441,226,247.

I would like to see Shrek 2's longstanding record fall. After 12 years, it is about time.

[seduh]

WOWWWW I love that number. I expect a near $50 Friday, then $42 Saturday and $36 Sunday for a $128 OW! (It could get higher)

[superduperm]

Just wanted to quickly log in before work to say goodbye to Shrek the Turd's animation OW record. Enjoy your last three days on the throne!

[Dementeleus]

I think there's a chance the animation record doesn't fall. Pixar movies are -- by far -- the most frontloaded of animated movies (because of their larger grownup fanbase) and with DORY being a highly anticipated sequel, it's possible that the preview number is inflated compared to the rest of the weekend.

After Deadpool previews came in:

 

"100M 3 Day is happening  " -Me

"Depends. GOTG did 11.2 but ended with 93M. Will be interesting to see if families show up for this like they did for that movie." -grim22

"Deadpool will be more frontloaded [than 50 Shades]." -efialtes76

"100m in 4 Days is a done deal, now the interesting question will be, if the movie can do it in 3 already." -Poseidon 

"250-270M is where it's probably going to land." -Me

 

You guys are WEAK. I am WEAK. Dory is going to be HUGE.

That animation opening weekend record has a really strong chance of going down now.

Oh, it's more than a strong chance now.

BTW, did anyone look at Fandango listings just to try to get a sense of sales?

From all the things that could've break out this summer, this shit does it. Jeez. The only good thing coming from it is that it's a success for Ellen. I love that woman.

It's looking real good, but yeah, too soon to call it locked.  Let's at least wait and see what the Friday total is.

Shut up James. Finding Nemo is the greatest animation ever and you should worship it

Will Game 7 affect Sunday significantly?

[Black Hawk]
