Holy shit it was in the upper predict for Pets!!! It should stay flat today if not rise a bit higher. Excellent Friday number, actually am really impressed. I need to see it.

Well Disney clearly didn't want BFG in the first place. It was part of a finished deal that Disney got very little out of, and it didn't fit into Disney's game plan of having their tentpole movies being either WDAS, Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm, or a cartoon-to-live-action remake, so they just tossed it aside and let it die.

[WrathOfHan]

I'm expecting a 10% drop today and 30% drop tomorrow for M&D:

 

6.7M

6M

4.2M

16.9M Weekend

Whoever is writing all these articles about Spielberg having "lost his magic touch" should be fired. 

 

The man broke box office records in the '70s, '80s and '90s but it's been a while since he has set any records. So these articles are late. And I take it they're talking about records since his movies, if no longer record breakers, still make money (Lincoln was a big hit just a few years ago). 

 

And more important, he's still making quality movies (Bridges of Spies was one of the best movies of last year) so he's doing fine and no director should be expected to keep breaking box office records decade after decade...after decade after decade. 

Fire all these dumb box office analysts! 

[Nova]

Mike and Dave should hit $16M+ then with that $6.65M Friday exceeding expectations.

Wow, just took a look at the highest OW list. After Inside Out (#50) the highest OW for an original film is Avatar (#73).

Disney should have dumped BFG in November.

I kind of worry for Pete's Dragon, I'm not sure how successful that's going to be.

Damn. Not even a 10% increase, what the hell. Gonna lose major ground to TDK now, that goal is history. New target is $498m, the point at which Disney will for sure push Dory to $500m.

 

F $6.3m

S $8.1m (+30%)

U $6.2m (-23%)

Weekend $20.6m (-50%, steepest drop of the run), running total $422.8m , -$18.8m to TDK (loses $5m this weekend)
