I always expected nothing from Aladdin in China to be honest, the real key here is Japan, let's see how it goes.

 

Latin America seems to love Aladdin, i live in Brazil and every time the trailer play at theater i hear people excited and talking about how they wanted to see it. I still don't know if this will be big here in LA, but it definitely have the potential, unlike Dumbo that basically nobody cares.

 

Dumbo will finish with around $ 240M OS, considering how bigger Aladdin was overseas, i think it could challenge $ 500M OS, but we'll have to wait and see the WOM.

 

500m without China would require huge breakout in traditional markets. I am not sensing it. Even in brazil thread I did not sense a huge optimism?

 

It should be bigger than Dumbo. But without china(where it looks like being mother of all bombs), 350m OS seems most plausible. This is if reviews are good. otherwise Dumbo numbers could be the reality.

In my groups Aladdin is the only disney movie with a princess from the 90's that boys actually watched. Boys usually mocks BTAB, Little Mermaid, Pocahontas, Mulan... but they liked Aladdin / TLK

Not in balkan...little mermaid, batb, aladdin, lion king were all regarded great and we could already discern fringe wanna be bunch from regular honor since we were hanging out with girls(50-100 of us from school)...just to remind you..when a balkan sees "meanwhile in russia" meme or video he thinks to himself... in balkan the guy who filmed would dissappear xD TTVOMJ

Fandango/Dr. Pepper is offering a free Far From Home ticket if you buy 3 12 Packs/24packs or 7.5 is cans. 

 

Great news for me cause I love Dr. Pepper and I love Spider-Man.

$ 500M is optmistic, $ 400M is realistic with $ 350M being possible if WOM is bad.

 

Dumbo numbers is basically impossible to me, that movie did meh numbers everywhere except UK and maybe Mexico.

Dumbo did very good numbers in Spain and Italy and I think France was solid.

I was under the impression that Dumbo did really well in the main European markets.

Just not in the rest of the world.

Yeah i research here, Spain and Italy are indeed really good.

France i'm not that impressed, but it's definitely not bad.

Mexico is also decent.

 

That said, i think Aladdin still could do better in all of them. 

[keysersoze123]

its hilarious that movie is opening in several markets tomorrow and we have no reviews at RT. Could end up as worst reviewed disney live action in a while.

Fun fact. I hate snakes. Like was horrified them of them as a child. So when Jafar turns into a a giant snake at the end I lost my mind. When we watched it in class, the teacher had me color in the back while everyone else watched the film. 

 

So, I would say I always thought Aladdin and Lion King were more boyish than BATB or TLM. 

 

🤷‍♀️

 

Also, Belle is my favorite Princess cause they’re rude and won’t invite Meg to the party.

Spoiler was so big it counted as multiples.

[YM!]

As a 2000s kids, I’d say Aladdin, The Lion King, and Lilo and Stitch (one can make a good case for Mulan too) were gender neutral, whereas Pocohantas, TLM and BATB were girlish as a kid.

 

For bonus points: Treasure Planet and Atlantis were boyish. 

 

Though I do think Aladdin leans the most female skewing out of the three.
