parkerthegreat Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Wow, huge Thursday for Dory. Gap to TDK cut to $13.2m if that number holds. The goalposts just keep moving, we're now legitimately looking at TDK's total provided Dory gets better than a 25% increase today. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a2k Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 DORY Thu (6m) is down 5.98% from 6.382m Wed. That's an amazing hold considering PETS previews are at 5.3m. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a2k Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 (edited) Similar multiplier from the previews as DORY will give PETS 78m. BUT DORY was a sequel and PETS an original movie, so it could cross 80m. BUT DORY's Sunday was boosted by Father's Day so back to high 70s I guess. Edited July 8, 2016 by a2knet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a2k Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 (edited) FRIDAY AM UPDATE: Thursday previews are in and both of this weekend's new releases are off to solid starts. Illumination and Universal's The Secret Life of Pets brought in a massive $5.33 million, the third largest Thursday preview session ever for an animated feature behind only Finding Dory ($9.2m) and Minions($6.2m) and ahead of Illumination's own Despicable Me 2 ($4.7m) which opened with $83.5 million back in 2013. The film is looking at a massive weekend that could push even higher than Mojo's forecasted $85 million. Previews began at 6PM in 3,009 theaters, the film begins playing in a record-breaking 4,369 theaters today, the largest opening ever for an animated feature. Fox's Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates also had a strong Thursday night session, delivering $1.6 millionfrom approximately 2,560 theaters. This is an improvement over the $660,000 Dirty Grandpa delivered on Thursday night earlier this year and just behind the $1.67 million Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising brought in back in May before opening with $21.7 million. Thursday's numbers suggest Mike and Dave is already on its way to surging past Mojo's forecast below as an opening over $15 million seems a strong possibility at this point if not higher. http://www.boxofficemojo.com/news/?id=4204&p=.htm EDIT: Wrong Thread....ooops Edited July 8, 2016 by a2knet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a2k Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 (edited) 4m is solid no. of TARZAN. Down 7% from Wed. In comparison, IDR's 1st Thu was 2.76m after a slightly bigger OW (3-day). TARZAN also burnt off demand on Monday. So having that strong Thu compared to IDR is a good sign. Hopefully can get 18m+ this weekend.

James Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Amazing how people keep talking about Dory when Pets just registered a midnight that might push it over 100m for the weekend, a first in animation history. WTF?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTF?! Really, so you can't talk about both. Dory about to beat Shrek 2's animation record and first animation to hit 500M, pretty big deal in my book. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTF?! Because Dory is about to become one of the biggest movies of all time and Pets could open to $100M but it could also open to $78M. Besides in the weekend thread that's all people are talking about. You're in the Thursday thread so granted people will talk about Thursday numbers. It's like going to a Yankees game and wondering why all the fans are Yankees fans. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
