I expect a better drop for Conjuring 2 than 60%. It held best among all openers throughout the week. Why would it suddenly drop so much?

Because it's a horror sequel?

Yes, a 50m+ Friday means OW record.

Yes, but it's so early I really don't think that's the limit. $55 million+ OD is still possible. 

 

But since it's an animated movie, a greater percentage will be matinees, so I don't think we'll see any late action upwards (the way we've seen with some other tentpoles).

Very nice to see such a massive number for Dory. Just goes to show how popular Nemo really is. Arguably the most popular animated film ever.

A well recieved one at that. I don't believe that it'll drop 60%, even with the Dory explosion. But if does...

Lots of IMAX screens still have Warcraft. Must be in contracts.

Yep, many (most?) seem to be doing that. I guess they don't like money.

Dont know now why they are closing it since it still made over 100,000 last weekend.

Damn, only 12 weeks.

So just because it is a horror sequel we will ignore all it's great daily holds till now? The problem I have with that prediction is that Deadline says NYSM2 will only drop 55%, despite always having worse holds than TC2. It just doesn't make sense. 

 

On an unrelated note, it seams that Dory is headed for around $30m total in China. Flopping at it's finest.

For comparison Batman Begins adjusts to $275 million with no 3D.

50.25% from opening weekend. That sub 2.0 multiplier (1.99) is important.

[filmlover]

It's Disney's world and we're just living in it.

 

Although after receiving one of their worst pieces of publicity ever earlier this week, this should come as some form of relief for them.

[Blankments]

Y'all annoyed about the title, I'm more annoyed that the potential biggest animated opening weekend of all time isn't pinned, while just a few weeks ago the freaking Angry Birds opening weekend was pinned.
