RichWS Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 If it performs just like Ratatouille, we would get $62.9M. If it performs just like Wall-E, that's $59.9M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keysersoze123 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 I see like a 1-5% increase...max.yes. No reason for it be as frontloaded as wall-e or cars. But Ratatouille is a good comparison. But this seems more family friendly than Rat. I think it can do slightly better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impact Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Okay this girl I went to HS with posted a pic of her next to the Brave poster, I swear she is who they used for the girl in Brave as the model. She looks like her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Marston Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 For a movie like Brave, a family movie, 22M on Friday will possibly be closer to 70M than 60M.no, take a look at other PIXAR , Dreamworks movies released in June. 22M ish Fridays translate to 60M weekends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
druv10 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Great for Brave and people worrying that Cars 2 would have a negative effect, that theory can be put to rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gopher Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Because unlike DWA movies, Pixar films have decent midnights and late night crowds. Notfabio reported that Brave almost tripled Abraham Lincoln's midnight take at his theater. Disney just doesn't report them. From their midnight-less Fridays, WALL-E and Ratatouille had scant increases, TS3 stayed flat and Cars went down single digits. I expect Brave to go up a little but still decline overall. Kids are all out of school, nothing's keeping them from going to the movies on Friday as opposed to Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you're saying but I think it's gonna be pretty flat on Saturday as the parents are off work and the fan frenzy cancel each other out.

Justin121 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 I wonder what the real numbers are....we need an Rth symbol to shine in the sky . Rallax, did Abe pick up in your theater at night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it can increase tomorrow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopher Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 I'm confident this is skewing the same demographics that WALL-E did. Lot of families for both. The difference between a slight Saturday decrease and increase really means a difference between a weekend of 61m and 63m (provided 22m Friday sticks). So it's not that big a deal.

I think it can increase tomorrow.But only slightly...still a lot of things working against it having a large increase at this point(The strong midnights like Goph reported being one of those reasons).

So it's not that big a deal.Wall-E alienated some family audiences almost immediately with the all silent first half. Hence why it has one of the worst Pixar multis despite being so generally acclaimed. It's arguably still their most "adult" film and it definitely had an adult audience that it appealed to. Brave isn't like that. It's much more family friendly like Nemo, Up, or Incredibles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AniNate Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 It's much more family friendly like Nemo, Up, or Incredibles.I don't know if it's that much more. I mean, things get pretty scary towards the climax, and on a more visceral level than the normal dark turns taken by Disney films around that time. Don't think it's enough to seriously impede word-of-mouth, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
