Amazing performance.  It literally barely dropped off from TFA by only about 25-27 Million.   Considering TFA burned off 10 Years of demand after "Sith" and "Rogue One" came out last year.  That makes these numbers more impressive.  It proves that Star Wars has the most consistent fanbase in Film History.   And it's a 4-Quadrant Blockbuster that hits damn near every demo.   700 is the floor because Star Wars averages over a 3x Multiplier which it gets in it's sleep.  

 

 

My row yesterday was a microcosm of this. Me and my 2 daughters (they are 5 and 6). A family with teenage children. 2 little old ladies watching together, a middle aged couple (late 40s I would guess) and a group of college aged people. This was just on my row.

Been listening a lot to the Canto Bight theme. 

 

I think I hear a kazoo...

 

It's such a fun track.

They don't have the firepower of that magnitude 

Perhaps The Incredibles 2 might be able to do it...maybe...just maybe...

[XO21]

Justice League will finish #13 worldwide with Coco doing $700m+...what an embarassament

Did you give it a perfect score though?

A 20% Sunday drop is way way too high.  And I like that Disney is going that high.  We all know it's going to fall less than 15%.  My 9:55 AM show was 90% sold out.

 

 

 

one reason it could be that much is it is a bit farther away from the Holidays unlike the others but going up is more likely I'd say

Must be your biased hate speaking. Because if you don't know JL is already on 634 now. And it will certainly do more than 16 million WW in entire run

Biased hate where? Lol, i rarely talk about JL

Has Pixar ever blown up in China?

 

 

no. Coco is the first Pixar in China to do good numbers let alone amazing ones

How was it for your two daughters?

Really, really hoping SOLO moves to December. Not only are audiences loving Star Wars in general, but you get the feeling they're embracing it as a Christmas tradition. Everyone I know knows well ahead of time they'll be going to see Star Wars at Christmas time. It just seems agiven.

I agree...it becomes the easy "Christmas present/family get-together" that appeals to everyone...

 

I would push out or pull forward Mary Poppins to make room for this movie for Christmas...I think Aquaman would move forward if Solo moves and I don't think anything else really would affect this movie...

Never.  Coco is on pace to make more than every Pixar movie released in China combined.   It's currently at 1.023B Yuan ~ $154m

COCO may challenge 190M USD if it keeps decent amount screens next week, 180M is locked anyway.

Beating POTC5 as Disney's highest grossing movie of 2017 is more likely than not.

Make more money than ALL PIXAR releases befor COCO(around 1.15B yuan) is a sure thing!

I think of this moment maybe more than any moment in movie history. Pretty much every time a car passes me fast.

[Brainbug]

You know, i often shit on the prequels (and sometimes on the Ewoks), but:

 

Thank you George Lucas for giving us Star Wars.

Agreed.  You can disilke some of the execution.  But I'll forever be thankful to Lucas overall

Okay so I now must eat a huge steaming pile of crow because I saw it a second time this morning and fuck me but I liked it a lot more this time. I still don't agree with some of the choices that they made but everything just made more sense this time. So everybody I apologize for shiting on Star Wars LOL

 

33 likes in an hour, hot damn

It's a 9 right now; the movie is growing on me the more I think about it. I'll probably see it again in January.

 

Oh, and I didn't get the Mortal Engines trailer A Quiet Place looks amazing in IMAX at least!
