Or they just want to shitpost

 

They aren't all jaded and negative, Eric.

Dont know about you, but i think this suit meme for Minions is pretty hilarious.

Yea I don't get the Barbie hype either. I expect an opening under $40M (and likely under $30M).

Dude, I'm not being negative. I'm not saying young people don't like going out to the movies. I'm just saying people are doing this TikTok trend and heading to the movies to shitpost and have some goofy fun. This is all because TikTokers are being silly and doing a joke, and that's how I view it as, not as people dying to get together to see a Minions movie., If you disagree, that's fine. But please stop putting words in my mouth.

Stop putting words in my mouth.  I never said they were dying to go see a Minions movie, and it's obviously a joke and people being goofy having fun.  The larger point is that this is an example of people (kids and young adults in this case) wanting to get out and live life and have a good time in large groups.  One of the ways that people have ALWAYS done that since the early 1900's is go to the movies.  

 

It's hard evidence that sitting at home by yourself streaming is not the future of the human race.

Cool. Glad all that is clarified from both of us.

"Teens across the country seeing the new Minions movie dressed up like they're going to prom" is certainly not something that was on my 2022 bingo card, that's for sure.

It's weirdly wholesome to me. I love seeing teens doing harmless silly stuff.

It shouldn't have had to be clarified in the first place, but glad you finally got it.

As long as the meme draw people to cinema, i am good. They can even be naked to attend fifty shade of grey sequel (if any) screening all they want as long as they see film on big screen.

 

Size matters.

Elvis-$5.3m 2nd Friday

From Deadline Hollywood:

 

A fifth animated movie about annoying, high-pitched, frantic little beetles who many in the industry thought could under-deliver over the July 4th weekend is doing exactly the opposite of that as Illumination/Universal’s Minions: The Rise of Gru is hauling in some serious cash with a $109.5M 3-day, and $129.2M 4-day. The expected worldwide debut of $196.6M ($202.1M with holdovers) is decimating our earlier projection of $150M.

[That One Girl]

barbie is going to make at least 100M more than the little mermaid next summer

[filmlover]

Strong hold for Elvis. Could reach $120M+ if it continues to post good staying power like this.

[Issac Newton]

Minions 2 - $48M Fri (incl. prev.)

[YM!]

Minions O/U Love and Thunder?

Minions O/U 400m DOM?

[EmpireCity]

Really early number for TG2 is $10.25m.  

[Brainbug]

Wait do we expect big numbers for Little Mermaid? Because i dont. For me, im not even sure if that film will cross 300M DOM.

Top Gun Maverick and Minions are the last two films to be released that were affected by the pandemic iirc. So it's bittersweet that they are doing phenomenally.
