TS3 dropped 10% -- 10%! -- from Friday to Saturday, way back in 2010. That was practically unheard-of for an animated movie opening in summer. It's six years later and the preview/OW ratio has gotten even more extreme. 

 

A 50m+ Friday means the record, most likely. Sub-50m and things are still very fluid. 

 

eh, TS3 was flat Friday to Saturday in terms of day business. It had those $4 million in midnights to boost Friday.

 

This reminds me that I'm still angry TS3 didn't make $500 million. I don't think I'll ever get over that.

The only truly great movie that ever came from Pixar was Ratatouille. The rest were either acceptable or downright bad. But it's ok. We can't all have good tastes. 

 

Exactly, and I feel sorry for you not having good tastes

No, he's trying to keep your expectations in check. 

 

Nah, he's just being a wet blanket because he's "strangely indifferent."

Potential for what. It won't touch Dory

[FilmBuff]

There's some truly stupid crap being posted in this thread. Ratatouille the only good Pixar film? What the fuck am I reading? Pull your head out of your ass.

Why would Incredibles dos  do as much as Dory. It doesn't have the same fan base

I'm really excited for this too, since this is one of the few Pixar films that actually perfectly lean themselves for a sequel (alongside Toy Story and Inside Out). But if Dory hits the potential it can, no way this touches it. Don't forget that The Incredibles was nowhere near as succesful as Nemo was, and despite the current golden age of superhero movies, would this really breakout among the pack?

 

Regardless, yeah, there is a lot of potential.

[Infernus]

Woo Hoo!!!!!

 

9.2 million?!?!?! Thats fucking awesome. Absolutely great. Finally Nemo and Co. are going to be at their rightful place atop all of the animated world.

 

OW, DOM and WW Animated records, all 3 are gonna get swam over!!

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.

Break out? That term is used for things NOT expected to do well OR have had reasonable expectations.

Dory was always going to be a big film, Deadpool it is not.

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

It's not in the top ten come on man Lion King, BATB, TS 1 2 3 , TI, WALL E , Up , Pinocchio, Snow White, the Miyazaki movies,  Finding Nemo is a good movie but its not in the top ten 

[Plain Old Tele]

There's not a single upcoming Pixar movie that I'm excited about.

I'd argue Coco has potential to be something really cool.
