WDA doesn't interest me. So all this is irrational.  

I'm calling protective services for Tele Jr.'s sake.

Good thing you don't work at a movie theatre. Disney brings in the crowds but they're also a huge nuisance.

I didn't just hear you insult Supreme Leader Mickey, did I? I must report you to the Mouse Gestapo.

Haha, I didn't say he (and by proxy me) don't see them, just that they don't interest me. Also, for whatever strange reason, he doesn't want to see MOANA. Have no idea why.

It's happening.

[FilmBuff]

Some guy posted a deranged Mickey Mouse with a knife for the tail. Won't be able to look at him the same way now.

Could it be because it has a female lead?

What? LOL. I don't think he even knows what a lead character is. (Didn't stop him from wanting to see ZOOTOPIA, either.)

[FilmBuff]

I think in 15 years. Google, AT&T, and Disney will merge. Goodbye planet ?

He's in that "girl movies are yucky" phase. No worries, he'll grow out of it in a couple of years.

If 100M OW is on the table, then $300M domestic is not out of reach...

He's obviously boycotting Dwayne Johnson being named sexiest man alive

lol for years (and still happening now) there's always been the fear of turning off little boys from seeing a "girl" movie. Remember when they changed Chicken Little from a female to a male because of that reason?

 

I mean just look at the theatrical domestic poster for Frozen. lmao.

It's 115% larger than Frozen which did 94m for the 5-day. Even if was inflated more with increasing Tuesday admissions you would think 100m+ is quite likely.

No way.

 

Allied:$600K.

While this is a great, no, amazing number, keep in mind, that Frozen might have boosted the Disney-Princess-Genre quite a bit in terms of better must-see scores.

I have to admit it would probably be hard to convince my 9-year-old cousin to see Moana. I think with boys you have to hope they "opt-in" to seeing a movie with a feminine overtone.

Because of discount Tuesday, I think it's probably best to wait until we see Wed numbers at a minimum before trying to extrapolate the weekend. 

 

...oh who am I kidding, this is BOT.  

 

Tele, always the pessimistic and realistic one.

[AniNate]

Tele also said Finding Dory could finish around Toy Story 3. AFTER its opening weekend.
