You're doing well enough. I'm not worried about your performance at this point. You're a bonafide hit I think

It's fair to say Illumination has far lower standards than most studios, even Dreamworks at this point needs pretty good notes to actually turn heads. Still, the vibes would definitely be worse if Migration truly were tanking.

Exactly, any of the other animation studios need far better reception than “it’s fine” to avoid catastrophes with their original animation today

The question is, is he a Nostalgic Toy Commercial?

14m is about half of 29m

I read the 4 day as the 3 day prediction… not as impressive then but still probably a lot better than Disney would be doing with equivalent effort

(It probably hits that total from just presales)

yesterday evening it was at 202301/559338 2530497.77 3952 shows. I am thinking 275K by the time Monday morning shows start. I am surprised Deadline does not know about its presales.

I can’t say Migration didn’t have effort. It had 4 big trailers, either attached to big events like Mario or in the selection for hits like Barbie and The Eras Tour, or just attached to Trolls 3. In addition to that it had big play on the Thanksgiving Float broadcast event on NBC. In both my Marcus theaters, Migration not only got promotion in the snack area and soda cups but posters. Disney only did two trailers for Elemental vs the customary three for an animation, hide the romance in the marketing and dropped the ball marketing until the last month when they realized tracking was poor.

DL has no business making opening predictions if they’re not gonna look at pre-sales at all

My updated prediction for Aquaman 2 is $100M DOM; $150M OS; $50M China --> $300M WW

I think Movieman mean lack of effort in making the movie. Otherwise marketing wise illumnation is always in your face.

All I know is I sure didnt see it (I saw plenty of Elemental marketing) and I know other movie types who didn’t know of Migration’s existence either.

Trailer attachments don't mean anything. Shazam 2 trailer was attached with Avatar 2.
