I think DM3 is going to be a huge hit. It's setup to do very well domestically.

Once he moves off the corner, it's unoccupied and so whoever comes up to touch him is some unknown fifth entity?

 

Actually once he moves off the corner, his corner eventually does gets occupied by the 4th boy and game ends.

Cause the 4th boy has no one to tap. But he taps the ghost who taps the 1st boy.

Well, that's basically what I meant.

That reminds me: TF5 has such a Martha moment in it

Im expecting it to fall slightly under Minions. Around 320-325m.

Cars 2 had Independence Day in its 2nd weekend to soften its weekend drop. Still dropped over 60%.

Cars 3 won't, so it will definitely have an over a 60% second weekend drop.

To Paramount.

Lol I'm even more confident @baumer is donating that $100 now than last week. Offer is on the table for anyone wants the 10-1 and do it privately. 

 

Well Im not much of a gambler ... but hey kudos to you both, either way it's a win/win situation.

[grey ghost]

Well congrats to Bay and Paramount for milking a cashcow until it squirted dust.

 

They didn't kill the golden goose with the first film like Power Rangers and The Mummy.

 

*slow clap*

Why?  They're movies about talking robots that transform into cars, they should be aimed at children.

 

They shouldn't be R-Rated flicks for mature audiences.

 

Or you can say they're an alien race of living machines who fight a sectarian civil war for millions of years with the military class machines trying to suck the Earth dry of energy and the worker/scientist class machines trying to protect it.

 

Try to get a synopsis like that from Pokemon or Spongebob.

DM2 to win the summer. Book it.

 

I'm not sensing much buzz.

 

It'll come in way below Minions for sure with normal legs for an animated kids movie.

Sensing buzz for an animated family franchise film?

I think DM3 is gonna revive the box office next weekend. The franchise has most likely peaked domestically (and probably overseas as well), but I still see DM3 doing 300m+ and close to a billion worldwide. People still love those Minions.

I don't really get the pessimism due to that pretty damn good Minions performance. Reviews are solid, why is it going to drop significantly?

People have gotten tired of Cars and Transformers, but the Minions? Hmmmmm.

 

It will be interesting if there's Minion fatigue. This is their fourth outing.

A 10 year old boy embarks on an epic journey to become potentially the world's most powerful person and making some cash along by training and controlling a plethora of mythical and dangerous monsters with unimaginable powers to take on the country's most powerful people while taking on an entire criminal gang controlled by a powerful political figure singlehanded.

DM3 is going to challenge $400m. It has the rest of the summer to itself.

On a long enough timeline, parent's patience towards the Minions drop to zero.

Agreed, I'm not a huge fan myself but the numbers have been strong in the previous two and the spin off. Maybe a small decline but the schedule is clear for them with Cars and Transformers doing so crappy. Spidey will have some impact but the former doing so poorly will probably balance that out.
