Weekend Estimates: Lego Batman 55.6M, 50 Shades 46.7M, John Wick 2 30M

[franfar]

Ninjago could do 120m if it's really good IMO.... 

 

It looks like yet another movie to pander to the "Reddit crowd". It doesn't look that interesting and I don't see why audiences would go for it.

The trades are actually going with "Fifty Shades Spanks Lego Batman & John Wick Friday"

 

Cringe.

So I just found out that the search features work differently with a paid account. I don't have to wait 30s for a search....

 

Mods, is that a premium/gold feature?

maybe i'm an idiot who hasn't actually thrown out a box office prediction in like 7 years but i thought lego batman was gonna drop at like 55 mil this weekend so i think it's looking pretty good.

I GUESS NOT SUCH AN IDIOT AFTER ALL.

I think that LEGO Batman and Ninjago are too "specialized", since they're spin offs. LEGO Movie Sequel should do well.

Props to you lol

 

And people are saying that's a huge disappointment lol

[narniadis]

yeah, hopefully this will quell the Ninjago breakout talks.... 100m would already be huge for the type of film that it is.

[WrathOfHan]

 
150m? I think under 100. 

For what its worth on Lego Batman - I saw JW2 and saw a lot of moms with their young kids going to the movies.Problem is.....They were seeing 50SD. I've never seen something that gross before.. And when I finally got into the theater for JW2, some moron decided to smoke pot in the theater. Hooray for America!

Have any of the IMdB trolls descended on the forums yet?

 

Can the mods get them to sign an agreement before they can post?

Every mother that takes their kids to see 50SD should be ashamed of themselves

Here is an interesting picture about the $ spent on family films recently.... I have been saying for awhile that I think animation is in for a HUGE slow down in 2017 and Batman is only helping to support my theory. Look at the huge disparity in just 3 years.... and that isn't including films that have a decent size family audience such as Star Wars or the Comic Book films.

 

Family Films Last 3 Years
2016			2015			2014
Dory	486.2		Inside Out	356.4		Lego	257.7
Pets	368.3		Minions	336		Big Hero 6	222.5
The JB	364		Home	177.3		Dragon 2	177
Zootopia	341.2		Hotel 2	169.7		Rio 2	131.5
Sing	263.7		Spongebob	162.9		Night Museum 3	113.7
Moana	242		Peanuts	130.1		Peabody	111.5
Trolls	153		Good Dino	123		Penguins	83.3
Angry Birds	107.5		Alvin 4	85.8		Alexander	66.9
Storks	72.6		Paddington	76.2		Nut Job	64.2
Ice Age	64		Shaun the Sheep	19.3		Planes 2	59.1
TOTAL	2462.5			1636.7			1287.4

At IHOP, I'm pretty sure I heard an old guy say Jack Black is in Hell or High Water

I can now see this happening, 2017 seems like 2011 in terms of Animation box office all over again.

Spongebob over LB?

OW maybe but not Domestic. It had a higher OD than Spongebob though.

Yes, I have noted before the similarity between 2010 and 2016 in terms of family films (the last time a year was on crack) and the next year which incidentally also included a CARS film was way way down in comparison. Eventually you run out of $$ to spend. If it wasnt for DM3 coming out this summer I would be prone to say that no animated film grosses higher than 225m this year - but we shall see cause there can always be a surprise.
