Should movies based on historical events count as "original" movies?

yes, because they are original movie,but not original idea, in fact, some would say the 1st movie of the franchise like 1st harry potter, 1st twilight and so on could be considered as original even they are adapted from existing publication as we are saying original movie, but certainly they are not original idea

Considering how loosely they're usually "based" on historical events, probably.

Finding Dory also increased. Where it's at now will leave it at second. Unless Tarzan also had an increase.

Pets isn't going over Zootopia domestic or WW.  330 will be a great run but it will be tough.

I know Minions was a spin-off, but it opened to 115 million and struggled to get over 330.

Also, no way it's going to 900 WW and you can look at its run in current markets.  Solid to good, but not performing in ranges to get it to 

600.  For example, it's going to end up about 40-45 in the UK.  That would need to be in the 60-75 range to make a run at 600.  It won't have huge numbers in Japan or South Korea.  The only caveat is if it broke out Zootopia style in China.

Im not trying to diminish Pets opening at all.  Fantastic!!!!!

Or what will be a great run for an original film, just giving an honest assessment.  

I bet their dancing in the halls at Illuminations!!!!

How will it be tough. $330M would require it to have a 3.16x. With summer weekdays that's totally doable. I think people get over dramatic with their low multipliers now a days and completely forget we are in the middle of the summer where summer weekdays help totals.

I'm sure it will considering every single title increased (Pets, Dory, The BFG, Mike and Dave, Purge, ID4).

[Nova]

Even the BFG increased!! Mike and Dave didn't though. 

Mike and Dave should end up around $45M.

Yes but some were more dramatic than others. MandD and IDR didn't increase as much as other. Only by a few thousand. 

[Planodisney]

How will it be tough?

Minions opened to 11 million over what Pets opened to and barely made it over 330.  I'm just giving an assessment based upon right now. If Pets numbers are ahead of Minions dailies this week and it's 2nd weekend is bigger than Minions, then it's going over 330 for sure 100%.  If it's dailies are not above Minions first week, OR its 2nd weekend is not above Minions 2nd weekend then it basically has 0 shot at 330.

I honestly don't know what that will be.  I can't wait for Monday numbers.  Minions first Monday was 13 million but had an insane Tuesday bump to 17 million.  Minion Tuesday's were insane.  Interesting to see if Pets performs similar.

[MrFanaticGuy34]

Yes...YES!!!

 

Pets & Dory went up with actuals. Thank you, actuals.

Minions also got terrible WOM and was a spinoff so it was going to have a bigger opening. It's similar to how comic book movies naturally don't have fantastic multipliers because their OW are so inflated. SLOP isn't a sequel and it's numbers over the weekend remained consistent which shows it's getting good WOM. SLOP will not preform like minions for those two reasons alone amongst other reasons.

Lol

 

Yea. Ok. 

[Nova]

Tarzan also increased. Hit $21M 

[baumer]

Stop using Minions multiplier for Pets. It's like using a Friday the 13th multiplier for Shallows.
