Read in to that what you will... Sully will pull in the old crowd, Moana has a clear run in terms of family competition so I wouldn't be surprised if it has low drops for the next few weeks before making most of its business during Christmas. I noticed Sing already has presales, Universal really want it to be another SLOP style hit, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan9 Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Uhhh. Sing is going to do better than Moana and I want to vomit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sing will do well but it doesn't have a great release date because Lego Batman comes out two weeks later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted December 4, 2016 Author Share Posted December 4, 2016 (edited) Moana doesn't seem to be doing that well around me either. Most of its shows are like a quarter full, and the afternoon is when animations usually do very strong business. Don't really know what's going on with this... Marketing was quite weak I guess, I don't remember any promotion at all, and FB is really dominating right now. I imagine over christmas it'll have a good run and will probably end with a respectable total, but it definitely doesn't look like it's starting as strongly as recent WDA films.

So maybe £ 6m and £ 3.5m predictions for Fantastic Beasts and Moana are coming true. Wouldn't that be something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilipJ2001 Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Unless there's something really strange going on with our local market I'd be surprised if Moana hits even £3m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yjs Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 meh. maybe they're bunch of racists and hated the idea of brown princess I gave up on Moana's OS run at this point. It's more like a turd outside the NA (and maybe France). If the late legs kick in then it's good but otherwise this would have the LEGO movie kinda $450M~$500M WW total.

Heretic Posted December 4, 2016 Author Share Posted December 4, 2016 Very good for Sully, nearly as much Moana. That's almost laughable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what happened. what happened was it DIDN'T happen ? will see how it saves its face throughout the Christmas. Somehow they ALL fell in the $30M range since Tangled except Frozen. so hopefully $20M+, but even that seems like a stretch. TFATF did $16.4M off of a $2.4M so there's a glimmer of hope to that $20M.

TPATF did not have RO and Sing to contend with. But for your sake, I hope 20m happens. Edited December 4, 2016 by James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
