Weekend Actuals (Page 61): Kingsman 39M | It 29.8M | Ninjago 20.4M | AA 6.3M | mother! 3.3M | Friend Request 2M (lol)

[Zakiyyah6]

Don't see why Kingsman 2 would hold that well? I'm thinking standard 10-15% drop with a 40% drop on Sunday.

[Mojoguy]

As long as Kingsman hits $40M OW, I'll be happy!

[forg]

For what it's worth Paramount sort of made that F Cinemascore as a badge of honor in their marketing

Yeah, the first one was novel but these last two just came across as obnoxious.

I didn't even like the first. lol

No Saturday numbers? I want Kingsman 2 to hit 40m.

to be safe about 40m, it needs at least a 30% bump from true Friday (11.9).

30% gives 15.5 Sat for a 2-day of 15.3 + 15.5 = 30.8. Sunday then needs 9.2, a 40.6% drop from Sat.

Kingsman 2 sucks.

Yeeeeeeepppp. I really liked the first one, but Kingsman 2 is just all the over the place, somehow too long and undercooked at the same, has terrible villains, and has 5 of the most cringeworthy minutes I've seen in a theater in a long time.

[a2k]

Kingsman2 has been steady at 76% audience score over the weekend.

Ninjago has gone from 71% to 63% in 3 days. So should end up rotten.

Yikes. Cars 3 has a 72% audience rating, for comparison. What a piss poor year for animation this has been.

 

Well, 2018 is looking better at least. Even outside of the mainstream zone where we're getting Incredibles 2 and WIR 2, there are a few animation projects that sound very intriguing (obviously Isle Of Dogs, the Laika project that probably will be delayed from May and the Sgt. Stubby animated biopic come to mind).

Grinch could surprise I think. The release date is apt, Illumination has been on a good streak and the Carrey Grinch did insane business. They are going from live-action to animation, the opposite of what Disney is doing.

I'm talking strictly quality here, and I don't trust Illumination for that. And they've already screwed up a Dr. Seuss adaptation with The Lorax before, soooo.... but I don't doubt that The Grinch will be a huge hit. I don't get the "300M+ DOM is a lock" predictions that I've read, because it really isn't due to the competition it has to face that could kill its legs a little bit - not to mention I thought at least one of Moana and Sing was a surefire thing to hit those numbers and neither did - but I would call it a strong possibility if anything.

I haven't enjoyed Illumination movies much but did like The Lorax (that and DM1). 

 

I think out of Grinch, WiR2 and Animated Spiderman, the last one is most vulnerable. Grinch does have curiosity going for it. 300 is hardly locked but it's the only one of these 3 with a shot at 300 imo.

[Noctis]

I've never been a fan of Illumination. DM1 is so forgettable too but I enjoyed the minions in it. Nothing else has been better than mediocre.

[MCKillswitch123]

I like DM1, I don't mind DM2 or Sing, and that's about it for me when it comes to Illumination. The rest is either painfully mediocre or outright sucktastic.

 

I tolerate Blue Sky a lot more, as Ice Age 1 is fine, Ice Age 2&3 are guilty pleasures (4 is Godawful though, and I've never bothered with the 5th), I LOVE Peanuts Movie, and Rio 1&2 are charming enough. Hell, I can even count more Sony Animation movies I enjoy. Cloudy 1&2, Hotel Transylvania 1&2 (they're not great but they're fun, way better than Sandler's live action outputs), and I've never seen Surf's Up but I've been told it's good too.

it's really good. give it a try. aardman films, cloudys and surf's up are the best from sony animations - and better than most other animations including a lot of pixar - imo.

Even the HT are pure fun and decent watches. It's just that everything else is kind of forgettable to garbage.

People on this site are going way too easy on it.  "LOL it's fun."

 

Its more than that.  I love the characters, the ridiculous plot line, the very well choreographed action, the comedy...and all of that makes it a fun time at the movies.  Just because it's fun doesn't mean it's bad lmao.

[a2k]

sometimes Deadline uses it's own number (probably due to good inside sources) instead of the estimates officially released by the studio. they are using 15.2 instead of 15.325 from Kingsman's Friday. they have often been right about it.

yeah i have to watch HTs. never came around to watching them cause i don't like Sandler's movies at all. 

Sony has truly put out some garbage. my favorite and my most hated animations both are from them.
