What about Sing? I mean, people were expecting $80m for SLOP, but it's exceeding expectations by over $20m. 

 

By having, "From the studio that brought you Despicable Me, Minions, and SLOP", I can easily see Sing earning over $300m as well. :)

 

I don't see Sing being as successful as SLOP, $200m+ might be doable but I'm thinking $140-160m total

 

I think Tele Jr needs a diet of Pixar, WDAS, Ghibli and Aardman with the occasional film from other studios if they're excellent and Laika.

Have you joined the casino thread?  If not, you should.  I'll bet you 100 points that Ghostbusters doesn't open to more more than 50 million.

You already have this bet with me, Daddy!

During the first few days though there's a large influx and 1 and 10's to a lot of films rating. It's largely why I don't take IMDb ratings that seriously, not to mention that anyone can vote, even if they haven't seen the film.

My whole point was that it's IMDb score is consistent with its flixster score at the moment. I don't think that's a coincidence when that's the way it's been all summer with other films that have been released. It's not like SLOP will magically increase to an 8/10 on IMDb. At the same time, I dont see it falling below a 6 either. Same thing goes with its flixster score. This isn't the type of film that's going to be voted on by fanboys in a biased manner one way or another. You can ignore IMDb scores and flixster scores all you want but for normal non fanboy films, the scores are consistent with one another on IMDb and Flixster.

I don't agree with how IMDb ratings work, but fair enough points.

Are you calling me Tele Jr? 

 

...I don't get it.

Knew SLOP would be big, but not that big! With that genius marketing, Uni and Ilumi deserve this. Will probably see this just to see Gidget slapping the shit out of Steve Coogan's cat character.

Probably last point of the night, have to work in the morning.  I'll admit that my audience laughed a lot more than I did watching Pets.  I have to admit that it seemed like the kids had fun in the film.  But for me it didn't work.  The first fifteen minutes was great, and that is when it concentrated on what the title says.  But then it just got too serious for my liking.  I didn't like the adventure, I didn't like most of the characters and it just felt too dark for my liking.

 

If it hits 40, it will do about 115-120 OW.  And that will almost guarantee 300 mill and if it is well received, a 3.5X gives it a shot at 400.  Would be pretty fascinating to see two animated films reach 400 this summer.

FLOP 39-44

 

That's huge. Biggest OD for a non-sequel, non-spinoff animated movie. Small chance of overtaking Minions OD as well, will likely land at the middle figure of 42M. Great opening.

Watching Sharknado right now. It's dumb, and not in a good way. The opening scene was funny and a death just now was pretty funny, otherwise it's doing nothing for me.

The sequels are where it gets really over the top, outlandish, and full of random cameos. BTW speaking of Nolan I'm re-watching TDK trilogy to kill time until my BVS Ultimate Edition arrives. Every time I watch Batman Begins I think of how dumb Katie Holmes was to do Mad Money instead of TDK.

You have to give it to Illumination's business model where they set out to spend twice as much on marketing as producing the film.

 

Alas, they put also a higher priority on marketing than writing and animation.

 

And it shows in the quality of the film as well. I think while not overspending on an animated film is a good thing but I do think you can take some risks in terms of story and characters. Illumination are lucky that all their films have had appealing concept but it falls short compared to a film from WDAS, Pixar, Ghilbi or Aardman where it is not just a series of gags and a shoestring plot. They need more films like Despicable Me and less films like Pets
