Monsters University OS (Settling for fine 480M OS total)

[Goffe]

But you're not really saying anything. MU made $700m+. Is that nuff said?

Cars 2 was terrible, opened in 2011 (markets expansion) and Cars wasn't beloved like Monsters Inc.

Cars 2 made 560m, nuff said

Not saying a lot since MU will make 170M more. 730-740M WW can never be bad for a movie especially animated one since it'll get into black before theatrical release is over and rest of the ancillary especially toys are pure profit for Disney/Pixar.

There's also been a contraction in some European markets since then, most notably Spain and Italy and France to a lesser extent.

[Goffe]

so, we're throwing the toys card now?

[Olive]

It's making a lot of money and most people enjoyed the movie.

Nuff said.

Overall point stands, that it made more than satisfactory money at the BO WW. 

[druv10]

I'm done with this discussion as we're just rehashing the same points. We'll just agree to disagree on how successful MU has been.

SATISFACTORY. IS. NOT. ENOUGH. FOR. ME!!

SATISFACTORY. IS. NOT. ENOUGH. FOR. ME!!   :Pthis is Pixar, not a random Dreamworks movie

And it's done spectacularly.

[Olive]

Don't set your expecations too high, or you'll always be disappointed.

Up made fvcking 438m in 2009!!

 

That was the year when 3D became hot stateside and overseas. Also, please remember that back in 2009, UP had a more staggered release date. It also had 5 weeks of almost no competition since MONSTERS VS ALIENS had been moved to March of that year. ICE AGE: DOTD opened in July. MU's release dates overlapped with those of DM ll, MOS and WWZ, three of the biggest films this summer, not to mention slight competition from EPIC, TURBO and THE SMURFS ll.

Um, 730m would be right in the middle of where everyone predicted for the BSG, especially this bolded cluster, which is within 50m:

Meanwhile, you with your 930m prediction sits way near the top.  Just because it didn't match your prediction doesn't mean it was a disappointment, most people were able to come up with a realistic prediction for it.

MONSTERS UNIVERSITY: $450.9M Overseas Total / $715.1M Global Total.

Woohoo! Go MU!

[Olive]

It would be really nice for it to break 500M OS, but seems not likely unless break out huge in SK.

[druv10]

Wow, massive week for MU. It made 26.1M(-4.0%) and with SK yet to come, 480M looks very likely with outside shot at 500M.     

Edited September 1, 2013 by druv10

[kayumanggi]

A 4% drop? Woah. Why?

[keysersoze123]

obviously week to week gross in China is higher. Next week will see a big drop and SK wont be that much of a factor. Still a solid run specially in Asia.

[Tower]

A 4% drop? Woah. Why?

 

China, last week it had 3 days in release and this week 7.

[efialtes76]

Monsters University brought in an estimated $11m from 54 territories through Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures International to boost the running total to a magnificent $450.9m after 11 sessions.

Japan is the lead territory on a thunderous $87.4m followed by the UK on $43.5m, Mexico on $38.2m, China on $27.8m, Argentina on $23.7m, Australia on $22.3m, Russia on $20.9m, Brazil on $16.9m, France on $16.7m and Spain on $15.1m. Germany and Colombia have generated $13.6m and $9.9m, respectively.

[Olive]

China may beat UK.
