That its all time record is not just for an original animated film like the thread's title suggest, but for original films in general period? May not seem like a big difference, but it kinda is.

 

Ah didn't notice the thread title. Gotchya.

Dory is DEFINITELY going over 1 billion WW and JB still has a decent shot with a very good run in Japan.  Dorys chances of 500 million domestic depend on what its weekdays look like this week as well as how it holds when Ice Age opens.  Definitely not locked but at this point, definitely still a shot.

I did put one in the Convo thread, but here:

Sigh. Unfunny. Pretty mediocre overall with maybe one or two decent scenes. I shouldn't have been surprised after seeing the trailers, but I guess I'm still disappointed. Dialogue ranged from meh to terrible. Cameos were pretty okay to medicore too. They had people like Murray and still failed with lines for him. Granted wasn't Murray going to be threatened in form of a lawsuit by Sony to get him into the movie? Can see why he was pretty meh.

References to random internet sites and even saw a building from the original movie, though this I'm not 100% sure on C+

 

 

I can't be bothered writing a full review. Also, I don't recommend seeing three different movies in one day lol. Kind of throws off your schedule. 

I'm shocked you haven't received death threats for this yet.

Pets is gonna open U/O Jungle Book. Impressive. Most impressive.

[filmlover]

I could see Sing doing $250M+, especially over the Christmas holiday. Looks like the kind of thing audiences will eat up at that time of year.

If there was a film this year that deserved to make 1B WW this year, it would be JB.

I saw the Sing trailer yesterday. It doesn't have an incredibly appealing concept like cute Minions or our Pets's secret life. I think it will do between 175-200M.

My wife was insane about JB.  Loved it.  I have to admit I thought it was good but was somewhat bored also.  It's weird my movie tastes are changing.  I'm at a time in my life overwhelmed by stresses and business and responsibilities and can't get into a movie unless it has a really fascinating premise or story to follow.  I used to be the biggest summer blockbuster guy out there.  Now I go see them and walk out annoyed that I didn't enjoy them as much as I used to.  I'm hoping when life settles down I can find enjoyment in the trivial and silly again!!!!!?

These Illumination stinkers hurt my feelings more than Pixar's hurt Baumer's.

#TheSecretLifeOfPets official weekend estimate is $103,172,440. Sixth-best animated opening, and best ever for a non-sequel/spin-off

This is already Louis CK's highest grossing film. I'm sure he's proud!

[Webslinger]

I hope that we get something funny about the experience of making Pets in Louis CK's standup. Patton Oswalt did a bit about how Ratatouille ruined Halloween for him, and it's hilarious.

Welcome to the $100M club, you animals. Universal's THE SECRET LIFE OF PETS debuted with $103M this weekend.

I demand we get a Gidget (the Jenny Slate Pomeranian) spin-off.

Ugh, for a sec I thought (hoped) you were calling Lady Gaga a pig. I was ready to lecture you back about hating celebrities.
