Any movie that passes BvS is okay in my book! BvS about to be #7. What a freaking fail that movie is!!

Yes.

What an awful flop all around. Just a measly 872 million worldwide.

Not only a disaster based on expectations and budget, but based on attendance. Barely anybody watched the film. Theatres were empty all over!!!

No wonder the DCEU plans were all canceled.

Too bad, because I really was looking forward to Suicide Squad and Wonder Woman.

Man, just looking at IO and TS3 and Minions tracking numbers, that Minions word of mouth must have been really bad!!!!!  It's weekend and weekday drops and its final multiplier 2.9 were pretty bad for an animated movie with that much hype and anticipation.  DM2, DM, Frozen, TS3, Zootopia all have multis in the 4+ range.

No way can Pets fall that flat.  

Audiences seam more satisfied than they were with that Minions garbage.  I watched that with kids again this morning for the first time since the theater.  Wow, what a boring mess after the first 10 minutes and until the last 2 when Gru shows up.

I do think many were disappointed by Minions, but many also liked it as evidenced by its excellent OS run which hasn't been matched except by Frozen and I dunno if Dory or even DM3 will even match. Its DOM drops in its 2nd and 3rd weeks were very bad but its late legs were excellent. So I think it was due to frontloadness and a bit of mixed WOM but not the terrible wom some expect.

So while 2.9 isn't good, I think it has to do with people rushing to see it early due to crazy marketing so it acted like a Civil War or an Avengers. Without it, it might have reached that same total with a more calmed-down OW like maybe 80-90 and that would have been a 3.5+ multi.

Some films are perceived to be much better liked, such as Peanuts or Dragon or KFP3, yet their multis weren't that great either so the multi doesn't tell a full story.

What makes me think this is that it sold more Blurays+ DVDs than FF7, IO and was second only to JW by 300K copies out of 6 million copies. If everyone hated it, sales wouldn't have been that high.  (only 2 movies in 2016 crossed 6m copies: Minions and JW)

 

Anyways, today's numbers:

LOT and IDR had similar OWs  - 38.5m vs 41m - with IDR 3-day being 2.5m higher. 

IDR had 1 week head start over LOT, and yet after this weekend LOT will be at 104-106m while IDR will be at 98-99m.

Shows that all was not lost for IDR after the OW. WOM is where it lost out.

 

After a 41m OW and ID 4-day 2nd weekend, with good WOM IDR had a shot at 125m+ even after under-performing in the OW. Probably a similar story OS.

Toxic WOM getting the short end of the stick

Is a sequel to LOT feasible?

Probably not cause because the budget would end up going above 200m and this one is doing well but still has ways to go to break even.

It's going to need a lot of International help I think. It's WW total is just $140m

The production budget alone is $180m

 

Unless there are some undisclosed tax breaks and/or could figure out how to get the budget down a sequel, at this point, seems very unlikely.

With Dory and Pets being solidified hits the only weekday numbers of any excitement I have are for Tarzan.

A really fun film that deserves all the attention it can get. The critics really missed the call on that, glad to see it's audience score at RT is at 70%

 

Tarzan was considered a laughing stock by some only to surprise everybody. 

OS numbers should be even better...

Buddy it's not hard to figure out. It's a Kids film and it went up massively on Tuesday. It makes sense.

 

[Planodisney]

I really think Dory needs to correct itself quickly for any talk of 500 to be realistic.  It needs to get those drops to at least 50% and then rebound with a VERY strong hold this weekend.

Thinking $500M is out for Dory. BUT, $475M+ is a done deal.

Finding Nemo did another 100 million at this point in Dory's run. See no reason Dory can't do 71 million more??

I wonder if any animated movie will be able to reach 500m in the near future. The Incredibles 2 might do it or Frozen 2. Zootopia 2 would probably have a shot, too, but that's quite a few years down the line (if it ever happens).
