[John Marston]

Finding Doey didn't get a special opening weekend thread? Disgusting

Same here. I've actually never seen Nemo all the way through. 

[DAJK]

Think about it, if Dory follows Minion's weekend, it does 170M for 3 days. Obviously being a highly awaited sequel will make it more front-loaded. But it's cool to wonder how frontloaded minions already was, and how much Dory's WOM could make up for that.

400M DOM!

Y'all don't forget that Dory has a rush factor among teens and early 20 somethings due to the nostalgia.

I think people are just happy that something has finally blown up (since the nostalgia-riding sequel set for next weekend is obviously not going to be it at this point).

 

Yeah, the aggregate seasonal total's never been interesting to me either.

Really strong? lol.

 

I was just trying playing it safe. I'm pretty sure and hopeful that the opening weekend animation record is going down . Either that those are excellent midnight numbers for Dory.

at least you are proven wrong about this. This looked like exploding out for a while now.

[a2k]

MINIONS did 6.2 + 108.97 in the OW.

DORY needs 9.2 + 112.43 to over SHREK3.

Should happen easily I guess.

From the JW weekend thread after previews came in:

 

"Great number. Don't see it getting to Furious 7 numbers for the weekend, but 140M should be doable." -grim22

"This is so insanely massive you guys: just think, we haven't even reached the family audience yet, this can have monster SAT and SUN holds. We could be very well looking at minimum 130- maximum 160M." -Kelli

"Lets not get ahead of ourselves yet tho. Wait for Friday numbers. We know how preview numbers can be." -jandrew

"If this does over 140M I will be super happy!" -CJohn

"If JW does something like 140m, I doubt Dory could do it." -BoxOfficeZ

 

A Top 5 OW of all time is coming people.

 

 

 

[picores]

130-140m OW sounds reasonable. We'll see. If weekend goes right, 500m DOM could be very well in play.

[filmlover]

Someone should really create a Finding Dory 2nd weekend > Independence Day: Resurgence 1st weekend club ASAP. It's happening.

Fuck you Tele this is the most exciting thing that has happened in the history of ever

[keysersoze123]

I am sure its friday minus previews would be 45m+. So weekend would be something like

 

9.2

45m

44m

41m (father's day boost)

139m OW.
