Over Disney?  I don't see how.  TLJ is going to kill it this year.

But like is the Good Dinosaur actually bad? because actually it's pretty damn kid

 

It's not awful, but it pretty much lacks everything that makes Pixar movies special. In my opinion, anyway.

 

Plus the main dinosaur looked off.

Warner might lead for much of the year but Disney's going to pull far ahead at the end

sure but aside from that the film is a visual masterpiece and worth the price of admission just for that

[YM!]

In terms of holiday family releases:

Jumanji ($250M) > Coco ($210M) > The Star ($150M) > Daddy's Home 2 ($110M) > Ferdinand ($90M-$100M)

I see it decreasing from the first plus the fact that maybe 20% or more of its gross won't count for 2017. What are you predicting for it?

I'll agree there. Those vistas 

 

Damn kids these days have no appreciation for a good CG landscape.

Ok, so looking into it further, here are the all the films, regardless of era, to open to 100 mill, on a three day weekend, that had a 3.5X or more.  It's very very select company.

 

The Secret Life of Pets:  104/368...3.53X (same as Spider-man_

The Jungle Book:  103/364....3.53X (sensing a trend here)

Shrek 2 (2004):  108/441...4.08X

Toy Story 3:  110/415....3.77X

Spider-man:  114/403...3.53X

Finding Dory:  135/486...3.6X

Twilight Breaking Dawn Part II:  141/292...2.07 (just seeing if you're paying attention )

TFA:  247.9/936...3.78X

 

And that's it.  Now look over the list, and you will see that we have 5 animated films, two films from a different era of box office (Shrek 2 and Spidey) and then you will basically have TFA and WW (if it hits the 3.5X....so if WW does manage to hit 360, it's going to join some ridiculously elite company.

 

Shrek 2 opened on a Wed...just to keep perspective on its opening...

 

But it doesn't matter...you keep saying "can't happen b/c 'x' movies never did it"...I keep saying it will happen b/c it's unlike any other movie...and records are always made to be broken by the next unexpected movie...

 

I mean, by all this logic, Avatar could have never had its run, My Big Fat Greek Wedding could never have its run, even last year's Bad Moms and this year's Get Out could never have their runs...every few months or at most, a few years, we have movies that make runs that the "stats" don't explain b/c they aren't like the stats...it's time for a lot of you to accept this is one, since it will be at what 2.6-2.7x just after its 3rd weekend:)...

 

And join the bandwagon...it's more fun to be cheerleading the coming run than to be continuing to proclaim its impossibility each week:)...

no shit. it'll still be insane

[kayumanggi]

I just think several WB titles will breakout. DUNKIRK, IT, BLADE RUNNER 2049.

I hope people aren't disappointed if Wonder Woman doesn't hit 40mil. The fact is we don't know what it's Saturday increase will be. It's not assured it will go up 50+% or even 45% really. 

[YM!]

I'm hoping Ninjago does solid for LM2 sake and their cinematic universe.

[AniNate]

Good Dinosaur's legs were dreadful and I'm not sure there was a whole lot more they could've done marketing-wise that would've helped things. It just didn't click.

It's obvious the critics liked TGD more than the paying public.

Never said it wouldn't happen....at all.  I said it would be incredibly select company if it did.  And I 100% believe it will.

[YM!]

Time to start my Summer 2018 predictions:

Jurassic World 2: $475M

Incredibles 2: $455M

Avengers Infinity War: $450M 

Han Solo: $405M

Deadpool 2: $330M

Ant Man and The Wasp: $210M

MI6: $200M

Alita: $180M

HT3: $140M

Bumblebee: $125M

[The Futurist]

Spiderman having no impact on WW's run would be surprising.
