filmlover Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 I guess dog movies are still box office gold after all (even though none of last year's handful of dog movies really went anywhere). What are the chances Disney is wishing they had sent Togo to theaters instead of streaming right about now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie Jatinder Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Last hour was very dull for Call of the Wild. Would like to see @keysersoze123 data for post 6PM shows and before that. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Marston Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 So about high 20s for COTw. Flop but honestly what more could he expected from This movie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonwo Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 I'm shocked that Call of the Wild cost so much, you wonder if it'd been cheaper just to use a real dog. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right?! I'm sure of they'd use a real dog and green screen, that would've dropped the budget significantly lower! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narniadis Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Gotta love when the unexpected happens, even if Wild calms down a tad from Charlies 8.5-9m its playing way different then expectations had before today. Same with Sonic to a point. I would be in the camp with a2k that thinks it hits 100% or so for Saturday, but we undershot Fridays expectations so now I dont know what to think 😂🤦♂️🤷♂️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLAM! Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 (edited) People will want to see Call of the Wild... It appeals to the type of audiences that don't go to movies very much, and kids/families and seniors seeing it for Harrison Ford won't be as nitpicky about the CGI dog. There's an off-chance for a $30M weekend. Edited February 22, 2020 by SLAM! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably thought it was just easier to use a CGI dog than a real one given the stunts involved even if it made the budget higher. Last thing anyone wants, especially for a movie like this, is another scandal like the one when A Dog's Purpose came out a few years ago (even if that ended up proving to be nothing and the movie did well anyway). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a2k Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 What are COTW's OS-China prospects...150 feasible? Even if it legs it to 100 dom it needs 170 OS simply to do 2x the 135 prod budget WW-Ch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie Jatinder Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Post 6PM numbers are awful. At 6PM was thinking of $8.5-9mn, now even $7mn seems like high end. Sonic catched CotW fast $6.5-6.75mn. 9 1 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
