Honestly HTTYD3's OW is really impressive. Fairly sure it'll have a healthy run going forward as well.

Look at the 2010s winners, BP winner can make 5% to 30% of their box office post win, around 12-15% seem common, around 82M total for Geen Book ?

It's not out on Blu-Ray until March 12 so I imagine Universal's gonna give it a sizeable theater bump this weekend. Also the controversy around its win is probably only gonna help since it'll draw more curious eyeballs.

Is that really good because it is a fan only type of event or quite mediocre ?

It's probably great for fans of WWE but I thought it was a good time even though I don't care about wrestling at all. The actors are really likeable and charming.

He's talking about box office.

 

And I say yeah it's pretty good. Considering that Paige is not even a huuuuuuuuuge WWE name that would sell hundreds of millions of dollars, like a Hulk Hogan or a The Rock or a The Undertaker (although she is fairly popular, and The Rock is in the cast of the film and also produced it), it's not a bad number. The budget is only 11M, so it should be in the safe house either way.

Oh well the acquisition was like $17.5m so this is probably a little lower than what they hoped for.

Ok yeah that was my question, it is not a mid budget affair but a small one aiming an already pre-made audience (probably showed in the total marketing spent on it also), probably on the at least average side if not good.

At least it rose from that flat $12M number, instead of falling into the $11M range.

[JB33]

Harsher drop on Sunday than I expected for How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World. I thought a $60M+ OW was in store. 

 

Still a fantastic opening though!

[a2k]

Feel Dragon3 won't pip ITSV in the end.

Guessing 55.0*3.3x + 2.5 = 184 for Dragon3 (Dragon2's multi was 3.58x)

This sounds about right, though I don't think it not surpassing ITSV is a bad thing. ITSV had holiday legs helping out plus a reception for a non-sequel animated movie that I honestly haven't seen since Inside Out.
