I think Coco is going sub $200M now. There's too much competition and not enough advertising. Even the Frozen short is getting more ads around Disney's Theme Parks.

Cars 3 is probably the most forgettable film I've seen all year. 47 Meters Down is a close second.

You guys are right. Why did I think Dory came out in December? lol

[Ethan Hunt]

I still lean positive on Cars 3

[That One Girl]

Cars 3 is cool.  Not fantastic but whatever, it's a passable time waster.

I was like 10 when the first Cars came out and I have no clue how the merchandise is so big nowadays, Ice Age was everywhere at the time and completely disappeared few  years ago...probably thanks to DM and Minions

7.) Spider-Man: Homecoming (SONY/MARVEL), 2,036 theaters (-86)/ $744K Fri. (-8%)/ 3-day cume: $3M (+6%)/4-day: $3.8M /Total: $324.2M/Wk 9

If these estimates hold - and I'm actually hoping it'll be exceeded - it'll be great for Homecoming. $325m after Monday and still kicking.

Cars Land is still the best thing to come out of the Cars franchise

Sony Animation has had a bad year.

Cartoony talking cars basically sells itself. Pixar has made BILLIONS of the merchandising and toys. Pretty crazy.

It helps that Disney continues to keep the brand in the public's mind too. You can't go to a store that sells kids stuff without seeing Cars on something.

The movies are basically commercials at this point.

I don't care for the franchise, but it would be foolish to deny how much money it makes.

Holy shit. Amazing. It might be able to get to $325m WITHOUT Monday if it keeps having good jumps.

Everything comes back to the Disney parks doesn't it? lol

[grim22]

All the Cars movies pretty much blur together in my mind. It's just amazing that Cars 3 will not hit a 3x multiplier. Cars 2 also managed that feat.

IT is going to steal HT2's September OW record too.

SMH practically flat from last week and a healthy friday increase over deadline estimate. It's sprouted great late legs, one of the best for SH movies (late legs that is). It should clear 330m IMO and overtake BvS. China too is looking good presales wise with 120-150 looking possible. That should take it over GotG2, BvS and possibly SM3 worldwide and may even touch 900 if 150 happens. 

 

WW continuing her great run. WB should try and push her to the 4 multi which can happen if WW manages to hold on to its theatres.

Also while Cars 3 was never going to do great,  releasing it just two weeks very re Despicable Me 3 was a pretty dumb idea. Should have taken the date Emoji had and is taking advantage of

How is it amazing when a previous film in the franchise didn't hit the mark as well?
