DAR Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Honestly Shrek 2 is one of those films were I knew it was a massive success but I'm still shocked by how much it made. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's from STX. They're not going to have such a big hit so soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a different era we are in. However we have had 8/50 films adjusted coming from this century & 3/30 films coming from the last five years. Given mainstream movies have been around for almost 100 years now & the methods of release/consumption have changed so often especially during this century, Shrek 2 deserves its special place. It's run was truly historic, that first Saturday which was its fourth day of release adjusts to $61.9m. Jaw dropping. In fact Shrek 2 OW which was days 3-5 adjusts to $150m lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How was it like to experience that? Sure, I think most of the older vets here were on Mojo back then. The release date got moved up two days at the last minute, so people were flipping out over its epic bombage for the first two days. (Yes, we all were just as absurdly reactive back then). Then it had a monster 3-day opening and turned into a juggernaut. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kayumanggi Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 SHREK II greatly benefited from repeat business imo, thanks to lower ticket prices and fewer animated films. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gosh, I wish I was there those days, but I got into the Potter fever pretty late (I think when OotP opened in cinemas). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezen Baklattan Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Shrek 2 was a box office behemoth that will never be repeated, IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiantCALBears Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 The funny thing about Shrek 2 is it is a very average animated feature, it had so much goodwill built up from the original. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, $32m adjusted for day 13! holiday or not is insane. In fact that was the last day in a streak of 13 over $11m in a row lol. Would go on to (again adjusted) do 61 days in a row over $1m.

I wasn't very active on Mojo then (hadn't even created an account at that point), but I don't remember it being a super-exciting event. A lot of people expected it to have a huge opening, so when it did, it wasn't mind-blowing. A lot of people (myself included) didn't follow international grosses nearly as carefully as nowadays either. Plus, in many respects FOTR stole its thunder a month later.

I think that's a reasonable number, as it doesn't need to come close to TS3's 3.77x. Right now I'd go with around $450-460m. I forgot Shrek 2 was that low It's going down then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
