I thought the Jurassic World trailers had a sharknado vibe to them ...

I seriously think going from Sharknado 2 to IDR was a step in the wrong directon for Vivica A. Fox's career. 

well clearly because as stupid as Sharnado maybe its still far more entertaining than IDR, which is what people will use to put others to sleep.

about 6-7

Looks like Dory is being really hurt by SLOP's huge opening. $6 mil would be barely an increase from Thursday! Ouch.

I don't think it will drop that low.  If it hits 7 mill that's a 20% Friday increase...not good but at this point, does it really matter?  Dory is a monster hit...stupid blue fish.

Morgan Freeman is gonna make Ben-Hur a huge break out this summer.

Spread the word. A Counter-Slop/Pro-Pixar campaign can turn the tide. Wildfire that snapchat!

They're bad movies for people who haven't actually seen bad movies.

I would actually love to see that.

Called 100m ow as a distinct possibility for Pets months ago. Again, Illumination's marketing team don't fuck around. 

[Biggestgeekever]

Absolutely stunning for Pets. I was thinking $90+M last night and now it looks like it'll do $100-115M. If it hits $44M or more today, there's a chance it can top Civil War domestically.

[The Futurist]

Illumination is run/marketed by the guy who was behind Blue Sky at Fox and the success of the Ice Age movies.

I'd love to see Pets hit 400 million, even though I didn't like it.  All to do with the casino bet.

[CoolioD1]

THE ROOM is still funny and rules because tommy wiseau thinks it's a masterpiece. watch best worst movie even the Troll 2 guy thinks that shit is momentous. everyone involved in sharknado knows it's just sharknado. makes it lame and boring and tryhard.

[WrathOfHan]

Come on SLOP, be frontloaded or have Toxic WOM so this doesn't beat IO

Now I am seeing Hoopa and the Clash of Ages.

Pets is exploding. Whoa!

 

The marketing has really paid off but I get the feeling it'll fall short of Zoo and Jungle Book's domestic total despite a higher OW. While it's an original movie, I wonder if it might fall have a heavier fall next week compared to other original films because it opened so big but also WOM is mixed at best.
