EXCLUSIVE: Disney continues to build movies this summer, and audiences continue to come. Industry sources –not Disney– inform us that Pixar’s Toy Story 4 is clocking around $12M tonight, which will make it the second best preview night for an animated pic after the record $18.5M notched by Disney/Pixar’s Incredibles 2 last year.

Pretty underwhelming, honestly. Not sure if it'll even cross $150M...

[John Marston]

Might not even cross 150m despite everything going for it? Wow 

[Eric Duncan]

Obviously it's important to kind of take early Deadline preview projections with a grain of salt, but that's still a very strong preview number. With about...let's say an 11.75x multiplier (I just spitballed that number) that would be about $141M. Hopefully the previews see an increase when we get the final numbers (although I think final previews have almost always increased from early Deadline projections)

He's the guy who said that anything below $150M for TS4 is a flop. Lol

[infamous5445]

Concern trolls already out in full force?

[MrFanaticGuy34]

I think those numbers will likely go up.

[Empire]

I think this will go up, but even if it doesn’t it is still a good number.

Doing all summer every weekend

12x11.5 would be fine. Expect both numbers will be higher in the end.

I2 ow did just 9.88x the previews. Sun was inflated and it fell only 11%. Doing 10-11x won't be easy for TS4.

Late night walk-ups looking pretty outstanding at my theater

I need to make a bet on this forum.

 

If this opens lower than TS3 adjusted ($127M) I’ll do... what exactly?

[MikeQ]

Looks like a great preview gross to me - it would be highest preview gross for an animated film, if Incredibles 2 didn't exist. 

 

I don't expect the film to be as frontloaded as Incredibles 2. Looking back at Deadline's ComScore numbers, Incredibles 2 had a fairly heavy influx of adults on the Thursday and Friday for your typical Pixar/animated family film, and I'm not sure if this will be the case with Toy Story 4 (to that great of an extent - the huge preview gross for Incredibles 2 had more than doubled the previous animated film preview gross record held by Dory).

 

I'm feeling like it will fall closer to Finding Dory (14.7x preview multiplier) than Incredibles 2 (9.9x). At the time, Dory had set the animated film preview gross record with $9.2M. With 12M in previews, I could see 150M for the weekend.

 

But just a guess, I could be eating my words come the end of the weekend. Let's see where the final preview gross falls come morning and go from there.

 

Peace,

Mike
