I read this as OW was like, YAAAH CAN'T WAIT FOR FROZEN 200M OW, oh, you mean total?  that will be nice too

 

Just now, YourMother the Edgelord said:

I do think $200M OW has a great chance.

 

I'm thinking in the $150-170m range OW.

You joke, but I was thinking about it.  (Though, probably more of a Monday night flick.  Depends on if Mom wants to see Rocketman.)

I'm actually seeing all three openers this weekend lol.

Did a count, Godzilla's about to hit 20 tickets sold today at my theater. Good recovery from yesterday. Official count coming in a little over an hour and a half.

First movie in the US in 3 years. Aladdin in Dolby tomorrow.

By the way I pointed this out in the Godzilla thread but my theater is only showing it in 3D once each this weekend and at 10 in the morning. I honestly wonder when studios will just stop with 3D in general because even the boost isn't significant anymore. Even a 2D 10 A.M. show would likely sell more seats than a lone 3D show the entire day would.

They should. Most people either just hate it or refuse to fork out the premium cost.

China (and apparently Germany going by @Brainbug's disgusted comments) is too big of a market right now.

 

For instance, near as I can tell every single dollar EG earned in China was 3D.

 

It is dying hard core in the DOM market though, I'd agree.

Don't worry. Cammy's gonna make Avatar 2 have glasses-less 3D, and we'll be subjected to it for 10 more years.

What’s the fandango update look like?

I’m about to go to bed but after just about 8 hours, TS4 has sold 61 seats at my theater. By comparison, SLOP2 is currently at 14 and Pikachu was at 35 after 24 hours. 

[Mulder]

Feeling pretty confident that Toy Story 4 will be going over 100 million on OW. As usual people under-estimate Pixar's properties when they shouldn't.

[Minnale101]

I hope toy story 4 doubles or even triples TSLOP 2 ow domestically

If these numbers hold it'll do it easily.

[Porthos]

And now folks know why I tracked Pika Pika. 

Spoiler

It was supposed to possibly hit 80-90 according to initial BOP forecasting. which is above my 75m OW "worth it" threshold.

Spoiler

HUSH YOU.  Having a family orientated film really helps.

But what about

Spoiler

I SAID HUSH!!!!
