You get fucked either way if Ghostbusters beats Pets 

 

I don't see Ghostbusters beating Pets with the current numbers.

Really? If GB does 19M and Pets does 14.5M you don't see GB beating Pets?

Law of averages, let's go with 18 for GB and 15.25 for Pets.

Well, we can hate it as much as we want, but it's not going anywhere and it's going to make more than 300 million.  It's a massive success.

In that case Dory is an even bigger success, with critical acclaim to boot. 

Highest grossing animated film of all time soon.

She has a terrific cameo in Central Intelligence.  McCarthy that is.  But yea, she was good in St. Vincent.  I wonder if she worked Murray over in that movie, try to get him to be in GB.

I also agree, I didn't see that coming. And she was funny there. 

So there's a moment besides the Sixteen Candles references from Central Intelligence I remember. I was struggling too last night.

Even bigger success on an already established world/franchise? NO WAY.

15 Million minus Previews.   Basically in raw numbers it's already become the biggest weekend in Ghostbusters History.  Sadly we all know in this day in age that doesn't tell the full story as tickets sold is way, way , WAY below the mark.  I would say all the bad press is the cause for "So-So" reboot numbers for "Ghostbusters" and the fact the last one came out almost 30 years and didn't exactly end the franchise on the highest note.    With that said I slightly am going to cut "Ghostbusters" some slack on these numbers.   It's clear competition it's having from family films is also hurting it.  The reviews aren't horrible but if you have to say, "He it's better than Ghostbusters II" to defend it then I don't think it's standing that much on it's own merits, IMO.  Also like "ID:R" before it, "Ghostbusters" isn't really getting that famous "Nostaliga" Bump.  If those numbers hold than it won't sell more tickets than "Ghostbusters II".  "Ghostbusters" was always out of reach.

Ghostbusters

Col.

$610,670,600

(Adj) $242,212,467

(Non-Adj) 6/8/84

 ("Ghostbusters" had an astronomincal 18x Mutiplier in 1984 with a 13 Million OW)

 

5

Ghostbusters II

Col.

$243,124,700

(Adj) $112,494,738

(Non-Adj) 6/16/89

("Ghostbusters II" increased to 29 Million OW and broke the opening weekend record in 1989 but dropped to about 3.8x Mutipler and made half of the original in 1989)

 

Rothman LOVED the press and thought all of it only helped the movie

How do you think the Ghostbusters online bashing will impact the film?

It’s the greatest thing that ever happened. Are you kidding me? We’re in the national debate, thank you. Can we please get some more haters to say stupid things?

In the summer, most kids / family movies don't actually increase by 40% on weekends.

 

Yes they do.  There's lots of examples of films that do and have.  Transformers, HTTYD2, IO....there are examples of other films only increasing 30% as well but there are examples of 40-45% increases.

[Webslinger]

For what it's worth, Minions increased 39% in its second Saturday, so a jump near 40% for Pets would make sense.

Yes, but it's not a guarantee. On non-holiday weekends starting in July, the Friday to Saturday increase for Inside Out went from 27.2% (Minions weekend), 42.5%, 33.1%, 38%

I don't understand why they are projecting Pets to increase only by 30% on Saturday.  It's a kids film, it should go up by at least 40%.

 

June/July animated film Saturday bumps in July, excluding opening weekends & holidays:

 

June:

FD: 31.9

IO: 27.2, 42.5, 33.1

HTTYD2: 32.6, 48.4, 39.5

MU: 29.8, 35.8, 36

Brave: 24, 33.9, 18.2, 36.7

Mad3: 29.6, 36.6, 10.5, 33

Cars2: 24.3, 42.5, 34.7, 32.4

TS3: 38, 35.9, 36.2, 38

 

July:

Minions: 38.8, 32.2
Planes2: 33.3

DM2: 29.6, 34.3, 31.4

Turbo: 31.5

IA4: 14.9, 32.2

Pooh: 26.1, 25.5

DM1: 25.6, 24.2, 29.5

 

I've bolded all the ones that were above 40%. You'll note that every one of them was a June release.

[cannastop]

Pets possible weekend:

 

Fri: $16m

 

Sat: $22.4m (40% increase)

 

Sun: $16.1m (28% decrease)

 

Total: $54.5m

Edited July 16, 2016 by cannastop

[WrathOfHan]

14.5M

18.1M

14.6M

47.2M Weekend, 55% drop

 

[bladels]

With that Fri, it's about 46-56% weekend drop for Pets

[Porthos]

If Ghostbusters does above 47 this weekend I'll

A) Be happy that my risky bets cleared in the Casino. 

 

and

 

B ) Pissed off that I didn't follow my gut and offer a couple of last minute ones over there.  

 

Of course given that it looks to be right around the 47-50 marker, I'd be sweating out those extra bets all weekend long, so maybe it's a good thing that I didn't make them.  Don't need ulcers quite yet.

[filmlover]

Ghostbusters is selling out plenty of night shows. I think it approaches $20M.

[lobogotti]

it's starting to slow down here, but the last hour has been hopping.  worst case scenario I feel is $18.36M and that is if we didn't sell another ticket to our remaining two shows.  I won't say what I think a conservative good scenario is, because I'll end up looking foolish.  I will say I'll be surprised if Ghost finishes Friday under $19.5M for the day.  honestly, unless we're running so much higher than the rest of the country I think it does better.

 

found it odd that our 9:30 3D outsold our 6:30 3D by quite a lot, but our 7:30 and 8:30 standards were front row only and sold out (so the spill over makes sense).  our 10:30 show is nearing 50% capacity, which I think is really great.  our 11:30 hasn't sold one ticket yet though.
