@a2knet how does Ferdinands previews of $350K compare to other animated movies around the same time and what is your projection for it?

There's hardly any preview comp for animation films this time of the year. Alvin:Road Chip had no previews and Sing opened on a Wed (21st December).

So don't know how good/bad those numbers are. Mojo points that Cap Underpants did 650k previews 23.85m ow earlier this year, which gives Ferdi ~13m weekend. But summer previews are far more frontloaded than now. So don't think it's gonna go sub-15m ow. Guessing 17-18m.

Yeah it's a glitch or spamming somewhere for all of them

 

To put those numbers in perspective. TDK has less than 2m and there isn't a movie more tailor made for RT voting - especially around 2008.

It didn't used to be, one could just register straight to RT. 

 

And as shown with Jigsaw, spamming still exists.

January 2018 is death. There's a chance none of the films released make more than $60m.

 

2018 will have to wait for Black Panther to save it.

I don't know if either can break out La La Land-style though. Post should aim for Munich numbers.

Nah, something will break out...I foresee at least 1 $100M movie...whether that's the wide opening for a limited (which I would count as Jan - 4 screens on Dec 25th to Oscar qualify still makes you a Jan movie), a quality sequel, or some horror film that comes out of nowhere...

 

Now, Feb will be better, no doubt, but I don't think Jan will be as bad as Aug and Oct were...

[Brainbug]

Theres a chance for Last Jedi imo to Top six weekends in a row, if everything underperforms in January (which i expect) and TLJ doesnt completely collapse in 2018. I dont really see any of the awards film getting a La La Land/Hidden Figures like breakout. 

[cookie]

The last Insidious movie barely did $50m.

 

The Commuter and Maze Runner both look like they're two years too late.

 

12 Strong and Den of Thieves seem like non-entities.

 

I guess that leaves Paddington 2 but family sequels have a spotty track record.

[The Futurist]

January being death for movies ain't nothing new I think.

January is reserved for the spill over of the clever movies designed for smart & educated people with impecable taste.

I think The Post could at least do Bridge of Spies numbers and f it gets a lot of noms then a push for $100m.

 

Hidden Figures was the real surprise breakout domestically that few saw coming.

Don't forget TLJ's oscar boost.

Agreed on most of these but Paddington 2 has such great reviews though and looks to be a total charmer like the first which arrived without much fanfare so it might have room to grow.

Paddington 2 should do just as well as the first. It's supposed to be about as good as the first one, and with a better different distributor now, I think it's fine.

Ferd's number is solid; over The Road Chip is the goal here.
