Oh I know it's good, it's awesome. I've seen like 50 times and unlike my little pony I was ok with my daughter loving to rewatch it. I was just surprised at how well it did. Such a impressive run there.

Sun 278m +22% from Sat

703m/ $102m OW

A 22% Sunday bump could lead to a flat or better 2nd weekend. Lets see if Tuesday could hold flat or better as WoM spreads. 3b/$436m probable if so

Maybe Frozen 2. Croods 2, Minions 2 can do well this and next year? Considering they're somehow known properties?

Frozen did $48m, that's on the higher end of most western animations but it's still bad.

 

Minions 2 should do well, minions grew from $68m in 2015 to $158m in 2017.

 

[XXR vs XXR]

I'll bet a month of premium to someone that Frozen 2 does at least $100m in China.

I asked this question about Zootopia at the time, and this is what I heard.

 

Audiences related to migration from the country to the city.

 

Female audience members related to Judy Hopps.

 

Female audience members found Nick Wilde attractive (really).

 

The sloth gag was relatable.

 

China also has ethnic strife, which audiences could recognize.

Lots of good songs and Shakira is fantastic in it. I love the fat cheeta as well. It's above most Disney films for me, top 5 Disney animated.

I'm still waiting for that Zootopia 2 announcement. Disney seems so slow in announcing long awaited sequels.

Yeah I have a feeling the day might never come. Still perk up at every D23 though.

 

Given the slower growth in China, maybe Disney is less apt to go through with it.

Yup, I thought 830-10pm would fade as we have seen a lot lately on maoyan

$400m locked with that hold. -35% from sunday is huge WoM overflow

$500m close to locked if it holds flat tomorrow

Cant project beyond that, never know when demand burn kicks in after second weekend

$100m+ 1st weekend

$100m+  mid week

$100m+  2nd weekend

Zootopia 2 is a lock. Might be a 3rd. 2021 or 2022 at the latest.

Is that the year it's announced or the year it comes out? It's  a bit late to be released in those years.
