Weekdays (08-11th July) Super Tuesday DM4 : 15,1M - IO2 : 5,6M

I feel like ERC just invents his numbers. That's why his rounding is always off.

[Insomnia]

Good numbers for the two animated tentpoles. Still, D&W can't come soon enough; Dune Part 2 is still the biggest live action movie or the year so far. Not that that's a bad thing, but it just highlights how rough this summer has been for anything not animated.

Gotta have stuff released that could gross more than Dune 2 to have it even be a part of the convo. Hazards of the Strikes more than the summer being bad/rough.

Yep, agreed. That's kind of what I meant by rough.

[AniNate]

Even with Deadpool, August looks pretty blah compared to last year and I don't think the strike is as easy to blame for that. On paper it's missing the presence of even a modest Mutant Mayhem kind of performer. Unless we have some really huge breakouts these next two months we could be losing a lot of ground on last year. If the industry survives until mid-September things can only go up from there at least.

Impact with $5 tickets arriving today through Sunday, too...

What are you thoughts on animated movies like IO2 and DM4 seeing great success at the box office?

No, the industry will die in early September.

 

According to rumors, theaters will start closing in August and there will be a wide shutdown just in time before Megalopolis opens.

Dude, 2026 is looking absolutely insane. 

 

We could have 4 Billion movies just in Animated movies.

[AniNate]

So it seems Regal will stick around for awhile longer

Toy Story 5, Shrek 5, Frozen 3, and what else?

 

Edit: Oh, Mario 2 is coming out that year as well; insane.

Inside Out 2 should do 20-25 million 5th weekend.

Remember when animated movies were the only place where you could see non-NTCs find success?

[Migs20242]

IO2 4th monday was better than Incredibles 2.

[AniNate]

I'm going with the untitled original Pixar, Spielberg film, and Project Hail Mary as my 26 stans

I think DM4 crack 10 plus million 1st Tuesday.

Saw DM4 over the weekend with family.  It was alright, exactly what you'd expect from one of these movies.  Fun for the kids, decent for adults.  I'm glad that it's not winning the summer animated crown over the clearly superior film, though

Nope.

 

Horror was always there, even during the period when the animated ones started flopping.

True that. You right you right. And even that is looking shaky when it comes to original stuff. Dark times are ahead of us.
