Tues #s (Asgard pg 136) R1 22.4 Sing 17.7 Pass 6 Moan 4.6 Ass 3.6 WH 3.4 Fen 3.1 LLL 2.6

Why do people keep coming up with the Frozen comparison to try and diminish Moana's success? Moana is having a very good run and some of you guys are ruining it with your doom and gloom of "Well Frozen..." Moana is not Frozen and will never be Frozen. In fact very few animated films will have the type of impact and performance that Frozen had. Frozen was a phenomena that escalated even outside of the box office. In so many ways it's bigger than any animated film that's come out in sometime. Everything from the film to the soundtrack to the merchandise was a hit. It was like Disney won the powerball.

They are huge. Everywhere.

But would they really see a movie based off it? I feel like this movie was more geared towards American audiences that listen to pop. Those are the vibes I got from the trailers when people were singing in their cars and shit.

True. Looking at BOM, Frozen was the biggest animated musical since The Lion King. I would say the cultural impact was roughly similar.

 

You can't replicate that success at will. It was catching lightning in a bottle

I can't believe I fell for "Talking Animals = $300m". That was really stupid.

Can't deny that marketing for Sing was freaking everywhere, though.

Idk. The songs are hardly obscure and most of the people around me are well aware of them but I wouldn't call us representative of the whole population.

[Noctis]

Any OS numbers?

 

Also...just saw Passengers. It's nowhere near as bad a film the critics made it out to be.

This. I thought they had some pretty creative advertising too,  including a lot of promotion on youtube.

[The Panda]

Lol, I'm glad to see I wasn't crazy when I had no idea where the 300m+ predicts for Sing were coming from.

[EmpireCity]

I haven't gotten into the numbers, but Sing should be somewhere around $150m by next Monday I would think.  Going to have the market to itself until Batman Lego with Martin Luther King Jr. weekend thrown in there.  Should be able to have a really good gross.

I kinda feel it will have some interesting legs. I guess it won't get to 300m, but I think it does over 275m.

That's really, really unlikely when it's opened so low.

Noooooooo LaLaLand is sold out ?

 

Now I have to see Why Him. Someone tell me it's just as good?!

The success of SLOP gave people a lot of people high expectations for Sing's final gross.

guys help.  Should i see Passengers and Assassins Creed in 2D or 3D today?  I have 45 min to decide.  Do either of them make good use of 3D the way that Kubo and the Two Strings, Fantastic Beasts, and Doctor Strange do?  I was disappointed with Rogue One 3D, seems it would be better for 2D.
