You guys are just showing once again at this site that anything that isn't Pixar you guys just shit on LOL illumination has been making hit movies now for more than a decade and sure this sequel is going to drop from the original but the original made piles of money and the budget is low enough on this one that it's not going to matter how much it makes. It's going to be another hit for illumination and I guess there will be salty tears here again.

Everybody else sure isn't putting up much of a fight with what they're putting out, that's for sure.

Sony has Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Spidey. The former should do $200m dom imo

[Eric Atreides]

Runtimes w/out credits and attachments for next week's releases:

 

Shaft: 1:46. Attachments unknown (likely The Kitchen and Blinded by the Light)

MIB International: 1:46. Attachments unknown (likely Far From Home and maybe Charlie's Angels?)

Been saying this for months but Minions 2 is definitely next for a big drop, it screams IA5/Pets 2/LM2, and Sing 2 is also in danger. 

I'm just glad Minions 2 won't be in contention to win worldwide box office next year.

Disney sorta already has a stake in Spidey lol.

I don’t know what Fox was thinking pumping in 200M into this movie. It has no chance of making a profit during its theatrical run.

 

However, the X-Men are lucky to be out of Fox’s hands now. Disney will probably reboot the franchise and this movie will be forgotten faster than its theatrical run.

Brad Pitt can save the boxoffice with the dual threat of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Ad Astra!

I'm like the only person on this board that stans for animation especially WAG and SPA in general. No one is denying it'll be a hit and Illumination is probably still the most powerful non Disney animated studio right now but you have to admit the domestic drop is nasty.

People here liked Lego Movie 2 and were said it flopped. People here also liked Dragon 3 and were excited to see it open so high. People here liked Into the Spider-Verse and were ecstatic to see its legs. But sure, go off I guess

Yeah, but that’d still be the majority DOM BO-wise.

 

Sure, July you’ll have even more of an effect (which could account for some of that preview drop), but overall SLOP2 is looking at a pretty hefty drop.

That's kind of sad and bad in general. There's a good chance Disney/Fox can have 50% of the market, that's not something to be cheering about.

Pretty sure there ended up being extensive reshoots once they figured this would be the last one, which no doubt increased the budget.

[Poseidon]

Is there any hope that the $2,3m number for Pets is excluding the early access screenings? If not, this looks very bad, as HT3 had $3,9m if yxou include those $1,25m from Prime Previews.

The point is baumer, that they are good at selling their originals. We need them to stick to that instead of the many sequels they have released and have planed out for the next coming years. Other than Despicable Me 2, none of their sequels look likely to top their originals, which point to a downward path. I don't know if they are running out of ideas, but they are churning out the sequel rather quickly.

I completely agree. People are so anxious to call flops here, especially when its another studio not related to the mouse. Objectively speaking, it won’t take too much of a heavy lift to have Pets 2 turn a profit. Profitability is the main objective of a studio.
