In my honest opinion, Aladdin should’ve flown over the $150M 4 Day mark. Had the marketing and release not been bad.

Different director, no crappy Jafar, whole new world intro trailer, and a better release date definitely.

Hoping for 7, 25, 29, 28, 23 for 112 million 4-day

Thats a solid number as the tracking thread predicted last night. I am thrilled with anything over 85m for the 4-day at this point. Especially with how meh Dumbo ended up being.

Looking at the 7M after all the back and forth In the tracking thread last night:

 

 

I’m in the “won’t be frontloaded” camp. At the theaters I track, a cursory glance of Friday and Saturday looked on par with (or often better than) Thursday.

 

Good for the movie, not so much my Summer Game QOTW. 🙃

So Disney Memorial weekend curse defeated or Aladdin's probable 200mn OW is 100-120mn.

This.

 

Relative to expectations of how hard the movie was going to flop on top of the Memorial Day Weekend box-office curse, a $100 million+ weekend is a success!

 

But on the other hand this is Aladdin. One of Disney’s most popular IPs; and being 1 of the most-coveted Disney movies included in the ‘big 4’ can not be taken lightly.

 

Aladdin could leg its way on to $250-$300 million (hopefully) and be a hit, though there was no reason why Aladdin couldn’t have rivaled Beauty & the Beast and made $500 million+.

 

I still think Disney’s insistence on the poor Memorial Day Weekend release date is mostly to blame.

I'm going with 580 mil WW now (if the 4 day weekend of 90-100 mil happens).

 

220 mil DOM, 30 mil China, 330 mil OS-China.

Aladdin should be doing 140m for 4 day...

Still I am sure anything above $80M will hurt your Disney  hateful butt.

China  looks to be on a pace for a better than expected $17-18m o/w.  With a Maoyan 9.0 score could do $40m+

OS-C also should be a little better

I could see that happening if it wasn't for the competition next week or the week after. I can see it doing 2x at best.

I haven’t seen it but I’ve listened to the soundtrack and that’s convincing me to see it.

 

How is OS looking for Aladdin btw?

How times have changed..July's Lion King making less than live action BATB ow will probably be celebrated also.

 

Mulan will probably miss 50 mil opening

$580m would be not be great. 

 

Production budget is $183m. 

 

When it was first announced I just assumed it would do $1bn but when the trailer dropped it quickly became clear that it was unlikely

So i went back to sleep after Charlie teased us, and had a dream the Thursday number was 15.1. Everyone went nuts until they found out that Asgard’s source was trolling him, and the actual number was 5.25

[Ms Lady Hawk]

Wow, Aladdin has a budget of ~185M. Can it make 500M world wide? Definitely seems possible. China will give about 50. If it has a 75M three day, then maybe give it like a 3.5 multiplier to 265M. That would mean 185 from the rest of the world.

That multiple seems way too high for a Live Action remake and a Memorial Day release.
