meriodejaneiro Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 5 minutes ago, vafrow said: I'm not sure if it was the intention, but one benefit of getting Aladdin out this year is that with its success, it's well positioned to get a quick sequel. They should have little issue reassembling the cast and director. The story lends itself to continued adventures given the were a le to make two direct to video sequels to their original and a TV series. They can probably put together a stronger script and get something out by 2021 if they are motivated. Aladdin was my favorite Disney movie (and still is), that's why it "hurts" me seeing Aladdin not reaching BATB heights. That said, the two home-video sequels Aladdin had were kind of meh for me. I guess with good scripts, they could work. But hey, who knows. Last year, Solo wast discussed about being a first-of-many movies about Solo being kind of Indy or Pirates ... and after the disastrous box office that plan evaporated fast ... and this time they could have found a new "series" for future MD weekends.

vafrow Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Just now, Valonqar said: why would Aladdin get a sequel? it's a story with a perfect ending. Because there's money to be made. Back in the day, Disney chose not to make a theatrical sequel to the original Aladdin, as the philosophy was that less than perfect sequels dilute the IP value. I don't think they maintain that same mentality these days. They have a cast that's relatively cheap to lock up to a sequel, a story that has already spun off stories in its previous iteration and shareholders that have grown accustomed to Disney cranking out several billion dollar films a year. Discussion of a sequel seems inevitable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am in Charlie’s 900 club, but it requires some really excellent legs/Japan. We’ll have a better idea after it opens in Japan this weekend. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomeRide Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 58 minutes ago, sfran43 said: Only a 32% drop from last Wednesday. Amasing hold. Pretty much guarantees a $25M+ 3rd weekend. I can see it playing out something like this: Thursday - $4.7M (-8%). Friday - $7.5M (+60%, muted hold with SLoP2 opening and inflated Summer weekdays). Saturday - $10.9M (+45%). Sunday - $8.2M (-23%). 3rd weekend - $26.6M (-38%). That would give it a $234.4M 17-day total, which would basically lock $300M+, imo, considering next weekend's weak competition and the two boosts its going to get for its late legs with Toy Story 4 and The Lion King. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the end before making a sequal for ''Aladdin and the king of thieves'' That one has huge potential and with a better opening day with a space to breathe it can do 1.1 to 1.5 Billion. This Aladdin landed on one of the most competitive spots for the last decade or so. The competition was ridiculous and most of these films who recently flopped could have done better have they also avoided this opening spot. I think they should just jump over the return of Jafar and just give some reference to it and go straight to the king of thieves and then make the trilogy as a new concept continuing years after the king of thieves Edited June 6, 2019 by Geo1500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UserHN Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 (edited) Great number for Aladdin. I agree with the others here. This could have made a billion if not for those horrible marketing. But anyway, still satisfied with the numbers and its excellent legs. I think it will be either #9 or #10 worldwide this year. 1. EG 2. TLK 3. TROS 4. Frozen 2 5. FFH 6. CM 7. TS4 8. Hobbs & Shaw 9. Aladdin or It 2 or Joker 10. Aladdin or It 2 or Joker Edited June 6, 2019 by UserHN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdsacken Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Aladdin gonna be crazy and do 27+ this coming weekend. Insane! At least 235 after this weekend. I love that Pikachu is doing so well!

Agafin Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Aladdin's WOM is really great. Still, he way Aladdin performs on weekdays, you'd think it's already July, not early June. Are schools out earlier this year than ususal or is it just a weekday movie (like Finding Dory was)? Either way, I'm sure this will lead to a more muted Friday increase than what one would expect ( around 65-75%). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other remakes in the pipeline don't have as much of a urgency behind them. You can push A Little Mermaid or whatever down a year or two while you leverage success from this.

Colleges are mostly out now, I think Aladdin plays more broadly cause a lot of young adults grew up on the animated film. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
