I want some rankings including Moana, dammit!

 

New ranking:

1. Zootopia
2. Moana
3. Finding Dory
4. The Little Prince
5. Kubo
6. Kung Fu Panda 3
7. The Secret Life of Pets
8. Sausage Party
9. Ice Age 5

Moana would easily be #1 for me in most other years.

i watched moana today. best movie of the year, and one of all time

 

legs are going to be crazy good, it's a perfect movie with a lot of rewatch value. 350 for sure, hopefully 1b ww, how's it doing os?

Going to open with $12m in china which is the norm for a toon there.  Has good WOM but Your Name is looking to open big next weekend, well over $50m.

Is YOUR NAME a Chinese movie? Is it the same movie breaking records in Japan?

[MovieMan89]

I am shocked the Chinese would have such interest in an anime. Highly unusual to their movie tastes.

No its Japanese and China is currently the worlds biggest consumer of anime surpassing the States a little while ago

Maybe their movie tastes are finally changing for the better.

No, it's a Japanese anime movie, which happens to get a theatrical release in China.

[SchumacherFTW]

China going nuts for Your Name would be the icing on the cake for the year's best film.

Which won't be very bad.....since it could do better than Dory in China. Also it depends on how long of a theatrical run in China it has.

[Dingdong123]

No saturday numbers yet? I guess Rth still isn't done counting those Saturday $$$$ gross of Moana from all theatres in NA 'cause they're too massive. Hahaha.

[dxmatrixdt]

zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[Noctis]

Hook did well.  It made 300 WW on 70 budget

According to imd b the budget on Always was 31 mill and it made 75 WW, so again, not a bomb.

Amistad:  35 mill budget and a 44 mill domestic gross and no gross listed internationally

Empire of the Sun:  35 mill budget and a 66 mill gross WW....so again not great but not a bomb.

 

Spielberg movies that didn't made 2x their budget WW:

 

Empire of the Sun  66m WW on a 35m budget

Amistad  58m WW on a 36m budget

Munich  130m WW on a 70m budget

BFG   177m WW on a 140m budget

 

All of his "flops" before BFG came pretty close to 2x their budget. So it took Spielberg 4 decades and 25+ movies to have his his first big flop which is kind of amazing for a director that prolific and always working with studio budgets.

FD did $38m. It'll have 30 days but will lose a lot of screens next week. Maybe $20-24m

Even BFG was a good movie.

Yeah, it's entirely possible BFG is his first true money loser, which is outright amazing after so many years.

and The BFG will be on shelves at Disney theme parks for $29.99 until an apocalypse
