Why? China box office users are saying it will just be like a normal pixar/animation film (which is usually sub 40m)

Eh, no? They are not saying that. They are saying it will not do Coco numbers but the buzz is way better than other Pixar movies

At first I thought Grinch would have the chance of doing $400M, seriously wondering if it could miss $200M now. (Them again Illumination is known for their aggressive marketing)

 

I2 dom > Grinch ww

Dammit I’ve been predicting 400M for it for the past year or so

 

It just looks awful tbh. Though i think that of every Illumination movie so...well

[Water Bottle]

I guess this is the official weekend thread now.

Really? I haven't paid attention lately so they could be right. My reasoning was that Dory's performance wasn't great, and Incredibles comes after Coco and is a superhero film, plus it seems early online ratings (From people seeing it overseas) indicated potentially better WOM in China.

BOP predictions and TCs: https://pro.boxoffice.com/long-range-forecast-jurassic-world-fallen-kingdom-ant-man-wasp-updates-early-look-meg/

 

The Meg: 14/37 (OW range of 10-20M)

Nothing for Dog Days

Ant-Man: 77/205 (-8/-9%) (OW range of 65-85M)

 

Sicario: 2,700

Uncle Drew: 2,200

The Meg is severely under predicted. Even The shallows opened with more than that.

I think it can crack $200m but OS might be iffy because Doctor Seuss never does well OS, 

OS I’m thinking around $200M. Even though it’s Illumination it’s also Seuss.

[MovieMan89]

Wtf, 18.5m is absurd for animation! This is either not going to play like an animated movie whatsoever this weekend or it’s opening to 200+. Holy shit. 

[DAJK]

Yup, Meg’s gonna bomb I have NO doubt

Yeah, but Coco (as of now) looks like lightning in a bottle. Every Pixar movie besides it flopped in China. We shoudnt expect Incredibles to do much there, though it obviously would be a nice surprise.

It's opening like any superhero movie. 

 

I fully expect the Incredibles to crossover with the Avengers now.

[NCsoft]

I thought Frozen 2 could outperform Incredibles 2 based on how much of a cultural phenomenon the first one was, but now I start to wonder...

So have I now I’m thinking Lorax numbers but small OW. It’s not to late though Illumination always has an agressive marketing campaign. In AMC theaters, they have added Grinch bumpers in the middle of trailers and as @Blankments said, the audience surprisingly digged it.

Seriously WDAS or Pixar should look into Marvel’s library for older not used characters and consider making movies of them.

$400-450m WW would be decent for a $75m budgeted film but it’d be way below what Illumination is capable of. Facing Ralph Breaks the Internet is also an issue

But it’s not any superhero movie though. It’s still animation. An insane preview number doesn’t change that. There will still be loads of walk ups from the family audience, who were probably barely part of the preview number. 200 is very much possible right now.

They did already with Big Hero 6. 

 

WAG are working on DC films, I think Metal Men or Captain Carrot would be ideal projects since they’re properties which lend themselves to animation

I also am starting wonder about Ralph 2. Not buying the whole $300M+ wave. There’s a lot of family films November/December. BH6 to Moana numbers seem right.

 

However as previously stated wondering if Spiderverse becomes a dark house. Might open to $30M and legs it to $200M+.

[Stewart]

18.5m is almost exactly like 18.7m of Avengers. Given Avengers wasn't that frontloaded for a superhero movie, it seems like a decent middle ground between the super-frontloaded supers and the not-to-rush animations.

 

I think it follows The Avengers OW almost exactly now.

Would you have a meltdown if @The Incredible Panda is right on ALL fronts and this goes to 700M, outgrossing BOTH IW and BP?
