Hey Moana was the same year as Zootopia so it was competition

And I also really liked Encanto.

(Out of likes) And I remain salty Moana didn’t beat Zootopia DOM at least, and insist it was 100% a summer movie… 

[Arlborn]

After being back for this weekend and having Barbenheimer dropped on me I feel addicted to the BO numbers again!

 

I already can't wait to see Dune's and Wonka's weekends blowing everyone's minds too...

Pretty sure 2011's Winnie the Pooh was the last Summer WDAS movie.

The frontloading stuff on Friday & Saturday is normal. Similar thing with TDK where Saturday number wasn’t great, but the Sunday & Monday numbers were awesome. Barbie is doing the same thing, which is epic!

I had honestly forgotten how epic TDK’s OW was…

The theater I saw Oppenheimer at today was SLAMMED for a Sunday. I can buy drops being miniscule to nonexistent from Saturday.

WB need to announce Barbie 2 for Christmas 2024 or 2025...tomorrow.

They can't announce it tomorrow because the main cast and the director 100% thought this was going to be a one off. But don't worry, money talks, they'll announce it eventually, I'm just not sure if Narnia will let Greta make it in a timeline that pleases WB.

Don't see Dune breaking any records

Yeah, and their stubborn marriage to that cost them plenty of money with Moana imo. It’s like releasing Frozen in June. Moana and Cars 1000% needed to swap. Cars wasn’t doing anything more there.

Break records? Nah. Blow past most people's expectations? Yup

The funny part was Monday when a trolling guy on the old Mojo forum posted a bullshit number of $25M. Everyone called him full of shit, and the joke number almost happened in reality. Lol

Kind of like when Rth posted a BvS number on April fools and everyone thought it was a joke

The Barbie OW is already Ryan Gosling's highest domestic gross beating the final gross of La La Land.

I thought it was a guy named Lancer something. One of the funnier moments in box office tracking. This wasn’t an actual insider posting legit data, he was trolling the shit out of everyone. And it damn near came true. 98% accuracy! Lol

[Liiviig 1998]

Needs 3.5* legs to match Mario which is really doable. 

 

3.7* for 600M+ 

 

Females under 25 gave it an A+ . So confident in legs being very strong.

 

Reading through the thread pages back. Some expect CM getting a boost from this , don't think so . CM was treated as another MCU movie and had a higher Male demo split.

 

Oppy 290-350m .

I do remember that Monday being epic, but I had forgotten about a troll number lol.

some fans have high exceptions , i would think the ceiling is 800m WW, but probably has a way lower ceiling like Star Trek 

[MovieMan89]

I think a lot of us thought Titanic was going down (one more year) after the Monday hold, but TDK being a CBM reared its ugly head in the end. On the flip side, Barbie is not part of such a frontloaded genre…
