Clearly this ain't opening well on Friday but watch out for those legs.

Its a shame it will be missing China where I think it would have done BIG. May be biggest Hollywood animation.

I know Pixar's main focus will be Soul this year but the really need to pick up the paste with this film. Buzz seems really low.

I think it'll open within the same ballpark as Zootopia.

Didn't buzz always seems low for original animations?

 

Tracking for this are pretty decente right now, with potentially great reviews coming and a good marketing push on final 2 weeks this could debut with around $ 60M and then have very good legs

This isn't coming close to Zootopia opening numbers.

I dont know how on earth people can measure buzz for original animation movie whose core audience are families. Onward will do ok. There is a marathon releasing week before(2/29) and so reviews will be out early. I am curious if this has great reviews like most pixar originals. Then OW will ramp up huge. 

 

after seeing early tracking I checked at MTC1 and it already almost sold 1500 tickets. That is faster start than Sonic. So I would not worry about this movie's "buzz". 

[Curtis1986]

I also thought buzz for this was very low. Tracking sounds about right. Will be shickedcif this does more than 45 to 50 million ow

[Eric Atreides]

I've been saying Brave numbers for the longest time, and I'm still on this camp.

Reviews will probably be out by February 21, this will premiere on Berlim Festival which starts on February 20, usually these screenings for movies that is out of the competition happen on the first day

 

Thanks for the data, very good news, i also think tracking for original animations hardly matter, especially with almost 4 weeks to go

[JWR]

I think it'll change as we get closer to the release and reviews hit.

[PNF2187]

The Good Dinosaur, Coco and Ralph Breaks the Internet were also tracking for $40-45M 3-day as well, so I'm not really concerned at the moment. If critical and audience reception winds up closer to say... The Good Dinosaur and Brave, then I'd probably sound the alarm.

 

Either way, we'll probably have a much better idea come next week.

Says something how, if you don't give a damn about quality,   cheap animation has become to do that Asylum could actually do a feature animated film with it's usual minisicule budgets.....
