FROZEN II WEEKEND THREAD | 130.26M OW | BLACK FRIDAY WEEK SALE: Gold Accounts 25% OFF | I like warm hugs and I cannot lie | No Knives Out Spoilers :)

[Jayhawk the Hutt]

This could easily be a Shrek 2 situation for all we know.

[Maxmoser3]

This is a different ballpark than its predecessor. The first film was a limited release first, and then five days later was a wide release to theaters. This is a nationwide release first thing.

 

Frozen II is going to benefit definitely form this weekend, today will be just be pennies on what it will make in the long run probably. 
 

Solid for Neighborhood. It should do $17-$19 million maybe $20 million. That will be a solid counter programmer for adults and yes even some families. This should probably do a Saving Mr Banks type of run.

Still happy to be IN the F2>TLK club.

I really thought this was going to demolish Incredibles 2. Damn 120 would be a disaster. 

LOOL .. beating Incredibles 2 is not a joke ..& I2 had summer release 

[TwoMisfits]

One more thing...

 

Knives Out Friday night and Saturday night sneaks was a cold, cold act:).  What might have been spillover screens for sold out Frozen showings (at least tonight), could now be spillover screens for Knives Out...should be interesting to see Friday night develop (Saturday morning/afternoons are a certain positive:)...

Frozen 2 was never opening with 200mil. 

[John Marston]

110-120m opening.  400m finish. Would be pretty funny if it finishes below TS4 though since nobody was expecting that

Hot damn Frozen, make that money!!!!

The Tracking Thread has been forecasting low previews and a solid FSS for weeks. We are also in the week before a Thanksgiving Break.  With Thanksgiving being so late this year, most kids are still in school.  So none of this is shocking.

Ohh.  Time for the meltdowns.

Only comment about its previews that it was frontloaded. Even 2 days back I thought it will hit double digits. But it changed dramatically on wednesday and thursday when the jump was just not there.

 

Question is would OD ticket sales will be frontloaded as well or will walkins match at least TLK. Then its looking at very good OD.

[Krissykins]

It’ll probably go crazy on Saturday. 
 

I predicted $150-170m 

 

If it does $120m I’m blaming the fact of not having another “Let It Go”. I think that song was more important to Frozen’s success than the actual film lol.

everyone ready?

TLK did not have great walkins for OD. It had a very strong ramp up beforehand and had great late sales and walkins for Thursday but then played like a CBM on actual OD.

Incredibles 2 Previews & OW record will stay for some time .

 

which upcoming animated movie has potential to break this massive record ??

Walk ins won't match TLK...TLK had a much higher African American audience %, and that % tends to be a lower prebuying audience...

 

TLK also predates the Regal subscription plan, so all those Regal folks couldn't prebuy...but they can now...

 

Was probably equal in the male/female breakdown, so that's one area they may match each other...

Yeah but TLK itself was just a naturally PS heavy film. The hyped live-action remakes tend to be, BATB was also very presale heavy for its day.

[Water Bottle]

Only 12 pages? Guess people weren't that excited for the movies this weekend.
