Weekend Thread | Weekend Estimates - Coco 26.11M, JL 16.58M, Wonder 12.5M, T:R 9.65M, MOTOE 6.7M, LB 4.54M, 3BOEM 4.53M, TDA 1.22M

Around a 26m weekend would be good for Coco, that's a better drop than Moana and Frozen.

 

Coco could possibly push past Moana domestic if it has great drops like that.

Rogue One was a failure because it didn't outgross Force Awakens

$250m domestic isn't out of the question at least.

For a Friday? Not really. Its PTA for the weekend is supposed to be around $75K, which is pretty solid IMO.

OMG a Mosasaur is NOT a fish, its a marine reptil.

 

And YES, the end-fight of JW is one of the best climaxes of any blockbuster ever. Fight me.

I'm sorry but Jurassic World was huge for a reason.  People loved it.  People loved seeing dinosaurs fight, they loved seeing Chris Pratt, they loved seeing dinosaurs on motorcycles.  It didn't have a huge opening and great legs for no reason.

Oh, you're a dinosaur nerd.

 

That explains your second statement.

No moving of posts. It's just funny watching the same jokers who call JL a "disaster" by comparing it to other big-budget comic book movies aren't doing the same for CoCo, a big budget Pixar blockbuster.

 

CoCo should be compared with Finding Nemo, Up, the Incredibles, and all the other top Pixar box office draws, and judged with the same critical eye, rather than salivating over stuff like "wow, CoCo only dropped 32.784% wednesday to thursday !!!" even though it only grossed $2.3 million or whatever on thursday, and hasn't even hit $90m DOM yet. 

 

It's not just that we're comparing JL to other big budget comic books movies, it's that we are comparing it to the big budget comic book movie it was clearly wanting to be - The Avengers.  

 

We comp Pixar to Pixar all the time.  But we do it logically, like Toy Story 3 was comped against TS2 adjusted and Dory to Nemo adjusted.  And we all recognized the bomb that was TGD.

Jurassic World had two weekends where it dropped only 50%.  Two.  Even Wonder Woman can't claim to have accomplished that.

seems rather forgettable compared to Avatar, Titanic, SW7 though ...

 

Its a huge hit but to me its like the DMC of the 2010s to me. A rather decent serviceable Summer Mega Blockbuster.

To be fair, it had those drops once no one cared about its numbers.

The thing is, dinosaurs are still very much a novelty. We have seemingly a new comic book movie every month since the mid 2000s, but a movie about dinosaurs fighting, Chris Pratt and Mercedes still outgrossed every SH movie ever.

 

Which makes me a happy dinosaur fan

Eh, Bayformers 2 outgrossed Inception.

 

A movie with giant robot testicles, racist carictures, and a guy with his pants around his ankles who ask for toilet paper outgrossed Inception.

 

So, I'm not sure how valid your reasons are.

ROTF barely even got a 2x off of its 5-day opening while Inception got a 4.65x.  I fail to see your point.  Inception was clearly more well received than ROTF.

But here's the differences between those, junior: 1) those movies had much bigger marketing pushes than the one Coco got, and 2) they were released in the Summer (except Incredibles, which was coming a year after the juggernaut Finding Nemo; while Coco is following... Cars 3; and Incredibles' final total is similar to that of Moana's, another Disney Thanksgiving release, and it will be similar to that of Coco's, when all's said and done), and no time frame is better than Summer to release a family animation.

 

Furthermore, Coco isn't the culmination of years' worth of buildup within a franchise, and the coming together of some of the most iconic characters ever, is it? And, btw, Coco will outgross Justice League worldwide. Like, that's almost a lock at this point.
