Weekday Thread June 24-27. Inside Out 2 $11.2m, Bad Boys $1.6m Thursday

I remember in 2017 Coco had a legendary run in Mexico, people talking about it quite a bit on here.

 

Just checked IO2 to see that it’s already out-grossed Mexico’s all-time run there.

[RamblinRed]

So IO2 is already in the Top 50 DOM all time. Will be Top 40 after Today and in the Top 25 after Sunday.

Top 20 by probably day after July 4th.

 

Little further behind WW - Top 100 right now but its going to pass alot of movies the next few days, probably Top 50 by the end of the weekend WW.

The holds for this movie are just absolutely impressive. 

 

If it keeps having these minimal drops, it might not just reach $175M domestically and $400M worldwide, but it could surpass the final domestic total for Rise of the Planet of the Apes ($176.76M). 

 

If that happens, I see no reason as to why Disney/20th Century wouldn't want to make another Planet of the Apes movie. Even if about $400M worldwide on a $160M-$165M budget doesn't seem that impressive, there's always that chance that they get a Dawn of the Planet of the Apes-level bump for the sequel. Most people seem to enjoy Kingdom, so most of that audience if not more should show up for a sequel.

I agree. This first movie is all about building the foundation. DAWN had to walk so that whatever the sequel is called can run. And if Disney listens to what some people thought were missing from this movie and incorporate it more in the sequel, the next one will do really well. I wonder what the next title will be.

Toy Story 4 made 8m coming off a 59.7 weekend. July 1 shouldn't be much different from any other Monday.

Today's the day IO2 surpasses the first movie's WW total!

I agree. But I notice that the Sunday before July 4th often has softer drops. If you want to look for a day with an anomalous gross it might be this coming Sunday, not Monday.

[Insomnia]

I wonder what's up with BOM. They stopped at Tuesday's Inside Out 2 estimate (still showing $18,400,000) and haven't updated anything else since.

I would say near zero. My earlier prognostication of 19 days above $10m was predicated on this week having much better holds than it turned out having. Not to say that this week's grosses weren't good, but they're not superhuman like the first week.
