I mean I'm here thinking 50M+ would be impressive for Mufasa. Will certainly be an interesting weekend in terms of folks' expectations.  

When Mufasa outgrosses sonic 3, no-one will be shocked outside the residents of BOT

Joker is going for 150M+ OW

$100M, sure. But $150M is asking a lot for an R rated film that won't have crazy fan hype out of the gate

3rd??? I think a $50M OD could send it to $165-170M optimistically but $193M+ would be completely busted beyond belief

Whoops I miscounted from the i2 inset being so small 🤣 

 

4th or 5th

Well I do think Mufasa will outgrows it WW

[RamblinRed]

$56M includes the $13M Thursday.

Gonna be really hilarious when we get to Moana 2 and Disney is already basically guaranteed as the top grossing studio in the domestic market with just 3 movies for the year. 

 

to the comment above how do you figure? EC is saying 50 true friday for 63mil combined.

IO2 is first one to come out before release and say this wont come on D+ till 100 days at least.

Unless you're incredibly online, that is not common knowledge. The only people who are aware of that are people who are already going to see films in theaters. I guarantee general audiences have no clue Pixar announced this.

If originals continue to make Elemental numbers and the sequels continue to be hits (ok maybe not as big as this one will be) then Pixar should be fine. WDAS is in more trouble I think despite getting theatrical preference over Pixar.

Frankly speaking elemental numbers aren’t really fine for originals. The legs saved some face there but 14M tickets is not where it’s at the way Pixar budgets these things. Need to be getting more like 200-350 from originals in order to then lean on their sequels to be big hits, otherwise you’re stuck with the same old stuff for sequels

There will be other films included in it from Searchlight and 20th as well as rereleases from Star Wars/Pixar this year. That said I could easily see Inside Out 2, Deadpool 3 and Moana 2 total being bigger than any other studios total (can't see Warner, Uni or Sony making more than $1.5B this year)

Mufasa is tracking 150M OW at one of tracking service. Non serious service but it is one whom people pay money to.

[John Marston]

Mufasa feels like a Solo type of film. Should do much better than stuff like that and Alice 2 though but a big drop from the first

I do think streaming (in terms of capturing a very large post theatrical audience) could allow for growth of sequels even if they are not as watched in theatres but can't be sure without something like an Encanto 2 or Elemental 2 to give that validation.

The Numbers counts Fox stuff seperately (PotA and Aliens Romulus being their big ones this year), though disney does have the Luca, Turning Red and Soul re-releases that did a combined 3.7mil.

Even a 1b decrease still gets Mufasa to 650m. Seriously. The 2019 film was HUGE. it’s also the highest grossing animated opening of all time domestically easily. I have the numbers for Mufasa at 95-100m opening and 360m with Aquaman 2 legs, maybe 940-960m WW. I could be massively wrong but holiday legs can be absolutely ridiculous

Yeah I'm not sure why The Numbers separates Disney and 20th, Searchlight I kinda get (same with Focus/Uni) but not something like New Line and Warner, does seems strange. That said whenever Disney touts box office numbers they include all their divisions.

Beetlejuice has been stubbornly strong in every single metric of interest we have except trailer views (which are fine) since last year. Not ruling out 100m OW for that one.

Man and I thought $40-50M would be an acceptable target 💀

 

It is the December 20 weekend people you should not be expecting anything to open over $100M unless it’s like a Star Wars/NWH level $1B+ megahit 

Which ok if that’s what you expect Mufasa to do then all power to you ig

Yeah not an unreasonable hope I guess. Very well legged and received middling gross originals (like elemental and encanto) have more potential there
