Weekend Estimates (Page 92): Pets 103.2M (biggest OW ever for an original movie) | Tarzan 20.6M | Dory 20.3M | M&D 16.6M

[MikeQ]

If $36 million is correct for the Friday (Deadline, as others have mentioned, can't be trusted, but for the sake of illustration, let's say their high end of the estimate is somehow correct), it would mean it's Friday gross excluding previews is $30.7 million. So the weekend could look something like:

 

Previews: $5.3 million

Friday (Sans Previews): $30.7 million

Saturday: $32 million (+4.5%)

Sunday: $26.2 million (-18%)

 

OW TOTAL: $94.2 million

 

The best comparison I can think of is Inside Out, being an original animated film that also opened in the summer in the comparable $90-100 million area. Inside Out was essentially flat on the Saturday (up ~1% from the Friday excluding previews), and dropped 18.5% on the Sunday.

 

Illumination has branded themselves now as the "Minions/Despicable Me" studio, and advertising for Pets was pervasive a year in advance of it's opening. I don't expect it to play like a pure original animated film because of those reasons (similar to Pixar being a brand). But maybe I'm wrong in thinking that. 

 

Peace,

Mike

So what's next this summer:

 

"Fuck them lady Ghostbusters."

"Fuck them Klingons."

"Fuck that squirrel."

"Fuck Matt Damon."

"Fuck them mothers." (or is it "them motherfuckers"?)

"Fuck them bad guys."

"Fuck that boy's dragon."

"Fuck that sausage."

"Fuck Miles Teller."

 

 

You're forgetting the crucial STUPID modifier.

 

And the huge and bold text.

Isn't this a fairly common saying?

"Fuck Matt Damon" doesn't require the "stupid" modifier because I'm sure most people (of both genders and preferences) would happily oblige.

Baumer hating SLOP gives me the oddest sense of vindication I've had in quite sometime lol

Insane. So PETS is looking at the biggest original animation OW currently held by IO.

 

  5.3

30.2 (35.5)

29.5

23.5

88.5 FSS

3.25-3.45x gives 288-305m

The first was ok and I hated the second.

Legitimately thought it was the other way around because you liked the parody of college movie aspects

CJohn started saying it on Dory's OW because he was mad that Dory was the movie to breakout this summer and it eventually caught on with Baumer.

Since we're well into summer now, it's natural that The Secret Life of Pets is gonna experience some level of frontloading. I'm sure plenty of camps are making trips to the theater today.

We sure as hell ain't going back after we already saw Dory. Feel like most camps picked their movie of the summer already too and it was that stupid blue fish

Can Kubo please be the next animated breakout? The marketing has looked ridiculously good and it releases late enough to be out of the range of fire of Dory and SLOP. Would be nice to see that Chicken Run record finally fall.

Everyone on the site wants to go into the porn business eventually, I guess.

Baumer and Dory have an interesting relationship

For Kubo, $100m dom is the insane breakout level.

It's being positioned in the dreaded slot of late August (when the tumbleweeds begin rolling in) so probably not.
