Blame it on Jimbo for making 3D a fad in a post-Avatar society. (Also the GA making Depp a thing for a few years)

If DP has the same true Saturday increase as KOTM that would put it right at 11M Saturday. So Aladdin would need a 57% increase on Saturday to have a higher gross than DP.

 

I think Aladdin's likely weekend is being underestimated.

With a 7M Friday, a 60% Sat increase and 20% Sunday drop would give it a 27.2M weekend.

Even a 50% increase with a 20% drop gets you over 26M.

 

It would be impressive if Aladdin's FSS is higher than a new releases true FSS for the 2nd straight weekend.

Given that Pulse overindexed DP yesterday I will guess 11-13 for today. Pets maybe 18-20.

DP same. Pets same. These guesses may be a bit rougher than usual since I'm pretty busy today. Edit: Messed up the comp for DP and Pets, probably just gonna skip these updates for the rest of today rather than keep changing the numbers

Poor pace for both today. DP 10-12 (could go lower tbh if it doesn't pick up). Pets 16-18. These guesses may be a bit rougher than usual since I'm pretty busy today.

I’d say 10 is the high end for DP based on Apocalypse’s increase from Friday proper.

Apocalypse was MDW with deflated Saturday increases. Actually I messed up the calculation for DP, it has remained in the 11-13 range from the morning.

I definitely want to.  Rom-com!  Keanu!  Sounds good to me.  I'll see when I can get around to it.

its more recent thing that sequels do really well. There are loads of movies from 70s and 80s that were huge and that had unnecessary sequels that people did not turn out to see. Exorcist adjusts to like 1 billion domestic and exorcist 2 did what 10% of that.

 

As pointed out by others, Disney made loads of sequels to their films but because sequels weren't really respected in the same way, they just put them to video as didn't think people would see them in the cinema.

Blame it on Hollywood for being shown the incredible things that can be done with 3D by Jim and then doing fuck-all with that knowledge except giving audiences headaches. It's like Jim added beautiful sound to movies and the producers after him decided to bang pots and pans.

5+9+10+7.5=31.5    

 

2.3+14.2+15.5+11.5=43.5    

 

Just barely break 200M combined with a nice 69M from XDP

Yes. MCU and Pixar (except Cars) sequels come to mind. Also John Wick lately. I think many people look at Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, GotG, Ant-Man, and Avengers (except for Ultron), Dory, Incredibles, and John Wick where every sequels increase in gross, and they think that it will also easily happen to many other movies. We are spoiled like that.
