My mom is nearly 51 years old and walked out of the movie saying it was one of the funniest movies she's ever seen.  My audience also had quite a bit of older females/older males in the audience, which I would say reaches past the target demo of young males, and all of them were laughing hysterically throughout it. 

 

The food orgy scene had the biggest laughs for any movie I've ever seen since Brick's funeral scene at a packed theater of Anchorman 2 on opening night.

 

This is all anecdotal, though.

Technically, Sausage Party IS well received animation.  

Hahahahaha, I legit wasn't even thinking of SP as animation when I typed that.  Still think WOM could be an irrelevant case for it though if it can't appeal outside of a niche audience. Think Kick Ass, but with a higher OW. We'll see. 

[filmlover]

FYI Sausage Party's audience breakdown was 57% male. That's...much lower than I expected (figured it would be in the 70% area). And possibly indicates stronger crossover appeal than expected.

Kinda random, but anyone remember when Snakes on a Plane was supposed to be "huge"  because of the internet hype?  You know, back when MySpace was still like the only form of social media.

Don't you mean those monkey-fighting snakes on the Monday to Friday plane?

Didn't a lot of the hype center around the Youtube trailer views? Nevermind the fact that YT was in its infancy and the trailer probably only had like 1m views.

Haha, I totally don't remember the re-shoots thing and famous line being put in because fans had made it up on the internet.

Speaking of snakes, do you know Anaconda's adjusted gross will be higher than Ghostbusters?

Permission to post this in the casino thread? 

[MCKillswitch123]

Dory at 897M right now, and w/a bunch of territories that are fond of animation left to open, I think that billion position is pretty safe now.

 

Lights Out at 100M WW. That's pretty awesome. Expect the James Wan Horror Cinematic Universe coming soon

The movie probably would've been more financially successful had they stuck with what the movie originally started out as (a PG-13 thriller that was turned into a campy R-rated horror/comedy).

At least they beat the sausages. 

[Gopher]

Next weekend's gonna be tight. Could see five films within the 15-20m range (and none of them are gonna be Ben Hur). 

 

If I had to pick now: 

 

Suicide Squad: 20.7m (-53%) 

War Dogs: 18m 

Sausage Party: 17.2m (-49%) 

Kubo: 15.8m 

Pete's: 14.5m (-31%)
