I wouldn’t classify $140M WW as “doing really well”, and Bad Guys opened this year solely for kids to $96 Dom / $245 WW, Sing 2 in December to $163/$149


Not sure how that qualifies as the “correct answer” by any measure  

 

140m WW on a 26m is a film making x5 its budget. I'd call a x5 'doing really well'. 

 

I'd call Bad Guys and Sing family movies rather than kid exclusive in the way that Paw Patrol is. All the same Bad Guys made a little over x3 budget, Sing made between x4 and x5.

 

League of SP would need to get $270 for a x3 and $450 for a x5. 

 

Obviously  net gross is more important than multiplier at some point but even so, I'd call all the films we've discussed successes, but PP as much as any of the others apart from perhaps Sing 2 where sheer volume of cash overwhelms (and I say this as someone who likes Sing least of these movies, and Bad Guys most).

 

Of course this whole Kid-Movie exclusive v Family spectrum is a bit of a moving feast anyway. For my part I'd really only consider Paw Patrol a *pure* kids movie here. My cinema buddy badgered me to watch SuperPets with him and he's 35. We also watched Bad Guys together and only didn't watch Sing and Minions at the cinema due to not enjoying the franchise rather than *because we just wouldn't because its a kids movie*. We wouldn't have dreamed of watching Paw Patrol unless we had kids with us.

If you want to argue that PP did “really well” for what it was - a TV show IP, “let’s see if parents are willing to pay for this” low budget release, that’s fair 

 

But the discussion was what did “really well” in terms of bringing in a large family audience, not ROI, then a $140M WW total just doesn’t stack up, even when you start to factor out how much of said audience was truly families with younger kids in comparison to other releases

It looks like nope is going to have a really good hold this weekend. I'm on my way to see it in 2 hours. Once again I was completely wrong about the movie's box office take. I thought this would be a film that would bottom out at around 60 million. I can't believe how wrong I was lol but hopefully I enjoy this one the way I did Get Out.

The other thing to consider is who actually has peacock to know this stuff is streaming?


this is a really great point, and I think the answer is “not that many”. Same goes for Paranount +. I don’t think either service will become a bit service, but given the studios behind them they will likely stick around and just be known only to those who have them.

I have Peacock solely for their Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trips seasons. I have Paramount+ for RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars. 
 

For my money, Paramount+ has MUCH more to offer than Peacock.

Looking like Saturday was weaker than Friday in terms of week/week drops - estimates are dropping a bit across the board

13m for Peacock, 40m for Paramount+ (US only, 62m worldwide)
