You say that, but for whatever reason Dreamworks’ originals seem to do better than their sequels lately (Home, The Boss Baby, Trolls, The Croods)

True. But DWA didn’t have a single $200M+ DOM-grossing film in many years and their last one to do that was Madagascar 3 back in 2012, with $216M DOM. Is this a sad sign that their dominance is over for good and won’t ever have a $200M+ grosser again? 😢😔

LEGO Bomb 2 is doing 100M now and leading next weekend. Still one of the funniest box office crashings I have ever witnessed. Suck on the Illumination tit, haters.

Lego 2 went from $50M to $40M to half of the first one’s OW, though I’m relived $100M DOM is alive, this still is awful.

Is well down  from Lego1 but no a flop like others where trying to say all weekend. 

Next weekend is holiday and can hold very good.

Lego 2 shouldn't have much of a problem leading next weekend considering it's a 4-day holiday and the most I'm seeing among the openers is a $25M 5-day launch for Alita. Will probably end up in the $110-120M range if it can survive Dragon 3.

DOM it is massive underperforming though it won’t go sub $100M (likely in the $110M-$120M range) and OS looks awful, this isn’t like Lego 1 or Batman this has an $100M budget, it needs $250M to break even. It may finish under or about the same as Smallfoot ($211m WW).

Considering that Saturday and Sunday holds seem to have been much better, I think 3.5x is possible.

Weekend multiplier is good. I thought Batman LEGO weekend would give it $29mn weekend. 34mn sounds impressive.

Half a Billie for Wandering Earth in China.

Not bad at all.

Looking at post New Years holds for Spider-verse, including how direct competition and theatre loss didn't have a detrimental effect this weekend, 190 dom is a lock.

It’s because of the Netflix shows, they help dilute the brand, The Croods, Trolls and Boss Baby will suffer as well due it.

 

For animated sequels do it 3-4 years or 10-11 years if you’re struggling so you can bank on nostalgia. Do a few shorts or a TV special to keep it relevant but never a TV series since it dilutes the brand. That’s why Illumination and Pixar’s sequels are mostly working.
