Toys-R-Us belongs in that category?

FAO Schwartz is closed. Toys r Us closed 180 stores last year. More are coming.

Tight races going on between Jungle Book/Deadpool and Civil War/IM3. 

 

Hallelujah for a whooping 5 sub 50% drops in the top ten this week.

. Finding Dory is absolutely terrible, on par with Up as one of the worst films of all-time. 

Oh... Okay then

Pets might be one of the most overhyped movies on this forum. It has maybe a 5% chance of beating Zootopia. Personally, I don't even think it will reach $300M.

0% chance of beating Zootopia,  10% of beating Despicable Me, imo

Still think Pets is opening to 100 or close. We'll see how WOM is, but 300 should happen. Highly doubt it beats Zootopia.

More like 10% chance of beating Zootopia, 10% chance of NOT beating DM.

An OW above Inside Out is not happening, IMO.

We'll see. The marketing has been a million times more effective at hooking kids than IO's ever was, so it will all depend on how much the adult w/o kids demo helped IO. Pets will slaughter IO on OW in terms of the family demo.

Dang, really? I love 2012, especially the destruction sequences, I was hoping IDR would have great destruction scenes!

 

I mean, it's an opinion thing, but I thought the action was overall sparse and weak.

I dunno. The marketing for it is just fucking everywhere.

Sure, it's most likely not going to have the same multiplier as Zootopia, but it doesn't need to.

I thought the trailer for Pets is rather stupid, and it just rips off Toy Story 1's storyline pretty much. 

[MovieMan89]

At the moment a very similar run to Minions looks likely to me for Pets, just with a little smaller OW and a little better multi. 101/310

ignore the quote stuff,

But this weekend besides The Shallows and holdovers have been decent. IDR will no matter what will sneak over $100 million domestic. But nothing exciting.

What's wrong with ripping off something that works?

Are you aged 10 or under? Anyone who's been in a theater packed with kids when a Pets trailer plays should know the kind of reactions it gets from them. Been seeing it happen for a year now. There's no way it goes under 80m for OW.

You do know that kids don't pay for the tickets, right? Mommy and Daddy will have to say yes on going to the theater, and for the most part, it depends on if they think it will be worth their time and worth their wallet. If not, the family isn't gonna go, and they'll wait for Redbox. I'm not going to completely deny your prediction, but just having strong kid appeal won't automatically equal an Inside Out-level opening.
