It kind of reminds me of what happened with TGD. Right, just like people claiming IO had "no hype" and Frozen had "no hype". Man the Pixar haters are gonna have a field day with this one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seduh Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 This movie undeperforms. I hope it can get good legs, if not the first non financial succes for Pixar has arrive. It surprise me as i thought it would open lower but not that low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFanaticGuy34 Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 It's pretty sad that this film hasn't opened big enough. Pixar's 3rd lowest opener..only above 2 of Pixar's first films they made through their history...TS1 & A Bug's Life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yandereprime101189 Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Under performer or not, I still enjoyed the movie quite a bit. Should at least do over $100 million domestically, maybe $140 million. Hopefully better than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halba Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 (edited) this ones a bomb. for a big budget pixar, its going to end well under 200m. shocking. mainly, the ave rating on RT, about 6.6/10 is subpar and well below recent pixar efforts like frozen etc. Edited November 29, 2015 by Halba 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yandereprime101189 Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Perhaps the trailers weren't just as appealing to audiences as Inside Out was. Inside Out also had a big marketing push before it's release. The Good Dinosaur's marketing was more modest in comparison. It also had to deal with Mockingjay 2 having a stronger hold (at least more a stronger hold than I expected) and Creed turned out to be a bit of a surprise hit. The Good Dinosaur's financial future is yet to be written because it could still do decently throughout the next few weeks, but uncertain at this point. Pixar will bounce back next year either way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MovieMan89 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 They dropped the ball on the marketing in the last month, animation over-saturation, dino over-saturation. Otherwise I have no clue WWW. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peanuts is looking at 135-140 total. TGD should at least be able to pull 145 with its opening, unless it does get bad WOM and then I will really be scratching my head.

MovieMan89 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Its weekend holds at least were extremely similar to Frozen's, and those were really strong holds. So I am going to just take that as a good sign for early WOM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say it's finished. Yeah, the lower opening should definitely make for stronger initial holds than the likes of Tangled or Frozen. For example, Rise of the Guardians only dropped 43% its second weekend, opposed to the 50%+ drops for Tangled/Frozen. Giving it Guardian's same 5 day multi puts it at a $178m finish. Tangled's gives it $162m. So since it opened between those two, maybe it will finish between their multis as well at around 170m or so. Hopefully at least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalo Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Yeah I don't understand why this movie underperformed. it looks super cute to me. guess cute doesn't always cut it. Still I think it's wom will be good enough for at least $160m. But Seriously was anyone predicting these number for any of these movies MJP2 $290m SPECTRE $200m, Good Dino $165m, Peanuts $140m. all of those numbers are well under my predictions. kind of sad really 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
