I can imagine that not everyone reading here, especially the newer ones or guests, are aware about that yeah, I honestly don't think previews mean that much when it comes to animated entries. after all, Frozen's was $1.2M and its five-day was $93M. having said that, Sing's number is on par with Zootopia ($1.7M) but lower than most of the other animated releases in the past 2 years. Maybe it's a furry thing. (Dory $9.2M, Minions $6.2M, Pets $5.3M (3,003 locations), DM2 $4.7M, Inside Out $3.7M, Sausage Party $3.3M (2,632), Moana $2.6M, TGD $1.3M) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I was just saying perhaps you could address him personally and the notification will get to him and then perhaps he will post other numbers. @EmpireCity No, he is not the only one who has numbers. So, you could not just ignore the question but you had to be weird about it...hmm...aggressive star wars fan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FantasticBeasts Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 (edited) Anyone expressing the same appreciation for IO with me? The best animation of the last 5 years. Zootopia doesn't even come close... Edited December 21, 2016 by FantasticBeasts 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 4 minutes ago, cannastop said: I'm just comparing it to Moana, which made $2.6 on Tuesday, compared to Sing's $1.7m. Now, maybe the two dates aren't totally comparable, considering Holidays, but it might mean that Sing isn't going to tower over WDAS'slatest movie. The OS results so far have been good but not great which suggests Sing will be successful but not a monster like SLOP or Minions 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nova Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 1 minute ago, EmpireCity said: The bigger thing is all the wide releases are turning out to be mediocre to dogshit to end the year and going into next year. Assassin's Creed is done after the first few days. Passengers is selling terribly. Why Him has bad reviews. Live by Night is mediocre. Underworld is terrible. Silence has very limited commercial appeal. XXX: Unnecessary Sequel is awful. Monster Trucks was already written off by the studio. Rogue One, La La Land, Sing, Patriot's Day and Split are going to need to perform to get through into mid-February. I agree with this. Rogue One is gonna kill because there is no competition. Sing will do very good numbers because its numbers will be spread out over the holiday season. La La Land will continue sell well into awards season.

Thanks for the laugh though! And the only other person who has numbers is RTH. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assassins Creed is supposed to be front loaded so that's pretty awful. I don't know about Passengers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering that it's likely to be very frontloaded, it's not great. Some good reference points would be these movies, even though they opened on Christmas Day: http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=47ronin.htm http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=avp2.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Why is it that some supposedly "new posters" feel the eed at times to be sarcastic or just plain jerks? Why would you want to come to a site as a new person and try to be a bit of a jerk to not only the posters here with the moderators as well? I was simply saying that Empire is the only one online on our site right now that has access to numbers before they are publicly released. I was far from being passive aggressive. I was simply trying to help you out, @Xavier 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrestrial Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 30 minutes ago, Xavier said: Well, since I addressed everyone (including Empire), your suggestion is kind of unnecessary, no? question: not sure, do you know how the ping thing works here? I think, that was, what he meant, ping Empire City, you might get faster an answer. just in case - or for the newer ones who do not know, or...: type the '@' key wait a moment if needed (depends on the browser) it should appear a small kind of window with the waiting circle thing in it Do not wait too long, start without a break after the @ sign to type the member name (I do not mean try to tape into the window). Depending on the name it can take a while till the wanted name appears, it uses your typed letters to shrinking down the possibilities. Pick it. Some browsers react a bit in another way, then play around a bit If the name changes not to a colour marked one, the ping did not work = no answer to expect. Have fun! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
