You be a good boy, Ethan.

Awesome number for Pets. Quick good for  Mike and Dave as well. It might open to 20m. Pets is looking at best OW for a non-sequel.

Year of the animation continues. Zootopia, "The Jungle book", Finding Dory and now Pets.

It's funny how people sparked to a concept that's basically just Toy Story with your pets instead of your toys. 

 

It's funny how every movie copies another movie in some way or another.

It'll be interesting to see if Storks, Moana, Trolls and Sing can be solid hits. I think Storks will be over $100m for sure and I think Sing while I think it won't reach the heights of Pets and DM/Minions will be $140-150m domestically unless it really sucks

[GiantCALBears]

Can I switch my domestic total predicts for Cap 3 & FD (know I'm not the only one)? Would be perfect!

Love @Spaghetti comment earlier in the thread.

 

"Animation is on crack this year."

Great start for Pets, good for Mike and Dave. 85-100M seems to be the range for Pets for the weekend.

Regardless of how it is received, the marketing for it has been absolutely stellar.

Mike and Dave: 19M

Pets: 97M

Everything is a retread since Homer's time. That's why we're a sucker for remakes.

Animation vs CBM 

DORY over CW by 115m

ZOOTP over BVS by 12m

PETS under DP by 62m (assuming 301m for PETS)

So,

DORY + ZOOTP + PETS over CW + BVS + DP by ~65m

 

MOANA + KFP3 + ANIMATION#6(?) have a 65m cushion  to beat SS + DS + APOC, for the 6 biggest animations this year to defeat the 6 CBMs this year at combined DOM BO.

[bladels]

SLOP is meh, better than Minions I guess.

Hope it doesn't take away IO's record.

[Jonwo]

Even if Pets does break the OW animated film record, it'll likely have mediocre legs, it wouldn't be shocking if it didn't break $300m 

[grim22]

Looks like today is the day Civil War's running total falls below IM3 @No Prisoners @a2knet

 

Just 38k between them going into the weekend.
