Poppy over Cara.

I don't think Smallfoot will do anything higher than Storks/Ninjago. Hopefully WAG rebounds with Lego 2 and Scooby.

Avatar was a bigger hit than anything they've been in, so I think Pandora is the true winner here

They already had their horror Ninjago, it was Annabelle 1, and they retconned that with the sequel. Crooked Man will prevail if it has good wom.

Annabelle1 was not one bit horror Ninjango. Made on a budget of only 6.5m, it brought 84 dom and 173 os.

The 257 ww is 39.5x the prod budget.

For once Kevin will have a happy weekend.

yeah, will match it's prod budget dom so that's good news but 3rd movie looks suspect.

good. please get vaughn working on superman.

NO. I want him for Flash Gordon. His style might work for that...then again it might become too much like GOTG. So.....he should to go back to his roots and do some indie British crime caper movie. After that some big hollywood project.

Folks have to try to figure out why Boss Baby would do 100m+ more than Storks. I haven't heard good things about Boss Baby. Was it Baldwin-Trump gimmick going through the roof much like Tina-Palin and that coincided with BB. And the baby itself seemed like a satirical take on Trump. Dreamworks certainly is a much bigger brand than WAG but WB is a major studio and wonder what would be the boxoffice if Boss Baby was a WAG film and Storks a DW film.

Umm.....The Boss Baby? = $175M DOM & $499M WW

Dreamwork takes most of the cut. Moreover, DW is going to universal. Fox was just distributor.

Boss Baby absolutely was a success for Fox.  Don't know why you'd think otherwise.

Because of his Fox bias.

_{Lord and Miller's franchise has run its course already. It's done. Lego movie 2 won't do any better. Guaranteed to see a drop from first one...HTTYD style.} 

[Boxofficerules]

Releasing 2 Lego movies in the same year was probably a bad idea.

Although they get away with releasing multiple Superhero movies in a year.

if it does Lego Bat numbers with a similar budget WB will be happy.

say 80-90 budget, close to 2x that dom and 125 os = win (even if a big fall from Lego1)

Yeah. Also Ninjago to me wasn't that recognizable. The toy must be a big seller but lego's humor attracts a lot of grown ups I think and don't know how many in the GA have care for Ninjago. They could just have gone with a different superhero : Lego Superman Movie or something.

A HTTYD2 decrease still gets it to 209M.

After IT crushed his prediction, he needed some bad WB news before Blade Runner 2049 come alone and has a good OW 

 

 

[YM!]

It's doing $200M, give or take $20M for Lego 2.

I tried to find the JW weekend thread in 'Numbers and Data' but could only see the 'Actuals' thread. The 'Estimates' thread covered with jizz has gone missing . Can anyone point me to the thread?

I think Storks was a victim of bad timing coming in a year dominated by talking animal animated movies like Zootopia and SLOP whereas The Boss Baby had a perfect storm of Trump, Alec Baldwin’s great run on SNL as Trump and a strong alternative to BATB. Storks is defiantly the stronger movie of the two

 

Although we haven’t seen anything of Smallfoot yet, the premise is promising and I think if it’s on par with Storks or better and WB can market it like they do with DC and horror then it’ll be a success
