Weekend Thread | An Asgardian pops in on p.9 ~ HTTYD3 17m, A:BA 3.1m, IIR 2.2m

[YM!]

As an animation fan, as long as a good animated film breaks out I’m happy not to mention it seems Dragon 3 is the true event of February. (a bit sad Lego 2 had to die for Dragon 3 but I digress)

Captain Marvel. Dear reader, you probably expected another Pika-Pika joke or comment? Well, normally i would go for that but theres no denying that CM will be a big fucking hit.

Real dignity will come only with Pika-Pika though.

It has been very OD heavy in all OS markets I've seen so far. I think Spider-verse would be a better comp. I hope it does more than 50m tough! 

 

3M previews

10.9M Fri

11.1M Sat

8.3M Sun

30.3M Total

 

Famous last words and all, but I just don't see it being that frontloaded. Just seems too unrealistic of a number.

We all thought Brie Larson would save the year. And yet...

I tough it had made 2,2m in previews. Yeah, it won't be THAT frontloaded.

That Aladdin teaser was the trump card for satan, now Jesus can help us again.

 

Regarding HTTYD: YOU ALL NEED TO SEE IT. Its really good.

Yay! Going to see it tomorrow!

[John Marston]

That seems really good. Higher opening than the second?

[JohnnyGossamer]

Didn't really love HTTYD3 but it's a worthy conclusion. Will play well and have a nice run. Good preview #.

It was flat-lining, this is just a placebo.

77 days to go.

Totally. 😉

 

I’m glad the audience were so smart to see this film. It’s how good animated films should be rewarded.

Made $3.5M in previews. Guess there was a huge initial fan rush. Strongly recommend to you (and everyone else) to have this bookmarked.

It's a great database for preview grosses that helps me out a lot when it comes to finding comps

Curious to see if the alleged good WOM Alita can sustain it during Dragon 3 or if Alita crumbles to a 60% drop or worse showing it doesn't have good WOM and was heavily frontloaded by Cameronites.

Dont be deceived. If there was a rush for Alita, it would have been Anime- and Mangafans of the property and in general.

 

There are only 3 people on Planet Earth that actually are Cameronites in the sense of the word, having given up their lifes and minds for a future, where a grumpy old man only makes movies about tall, blue people arguing about nature and capitalism.

 

And all of them post in this forum.

Oh God, dont tell me they're reproducing?

Alita could very well drop 60% this weekend. Certainly I am hoping for a 47ish percent drop.

Seems like Fighting with My Family is destined for under $10m opening weekend then? From 2700+ locations. 

 

MGM paid $17.5m for worldwide rights according to Deadline. 

[Napoleon]

Why is Box Office Mojo ignoring The Wandering Earth in the Top Worldwide 2019 rank? They refuse to accept the biggest movie of the year in the whole world is not from America.

Pretty much. $7-8M seems like the target.

If true, very odd for sure.
