Looks like we've got another Detective Pikachu here. Mediocore score, mediocore opening, mediocore legs, mediocore everything.

..................... i am sure 40-50 ow for an (hollywood) animated film is mediocre ..................... same with 100 million final

But pikachu started with 8.8 on moayan! and 9.2  is decent enough for frozen .TLK still did good at 8.9 moayan .

Probably 2x multi .

Just for the record, Frozen had a 9.5 on Maoyan.

 

9.2 could drop under 9.0. That does not mean it will have worse legs for sure. For example, Despicable me 3 had a 8.8 and was able to have over x2 multiplier. It opened to 444m and finished over 1 billion yuan. But it was Summer...

 

Said this, DM3 came after DM2's 323 million Yuan and Minions' 435m. And it was able to jump to billion territory. One could have imagined F2 making more than those probable 600m. IMHO, OK probable run, but that's all.

Pretty absurd. 9.2 isn’t mediocre by any stretch, even for animation. And the finish will be fine compared to Frozen 1.

youre right. 

 

You need to take aniticipation/buzz into consideration though. Comparing Frozen2 with a random toon like Wonder Park is meanlingless.

Pure toon trends to score a little bit higher than live action family film.

[A Marvel Fanboy]

Having seen Frozen2, I think the leg should be around 2x.

[charlie Jatinder]

Saturday PS 38mn already. Shall clear 41mn I guess. Usual trend shall give 150mn Saturday. Even Sunday gonna clear OD PS 2 days out.

It all fairness maoyan scores are crazy. It's damn near impossible for American toon films to resonate there. Incredibles 2 did 51 million and it was a superhero film. It also had a lower Maoyan score and managed 2.44 legs.

Incredibles 2 ended up at 8.9. love to see 9.0 or higher. Tough though

OD has been sitting on 75 mill for a while. Either its correcting it self or no shows after 10pm

 

disapointing OD number and Maoyan score.

 

On the bright side we could be in for a huge saturday. Presales allready 50% + over OD

screens will also increase big and will be OD+40% during the weekend

Wouldn't be surprised at very few late shows.

its not a toon culture like japan or america.  Both local and HLWD seldom resonate to the masses.  lately 3 or 4 toons are in domestic's top ten, having comparable BO to SH's and other live action films.  China now has 10 movies clearing $200m every year as domestic started doing 10 years ago but are averaging just 1 toon per year over 1b/$150m.  Zoo was all time #1 for 3 years until NZ exploded, its not a HLWD toon issue

 

PSm should increase by 25% tomorrow and PS are on track to be up 60%. That will bring Sat close to a 100% bump.  Expect 4.75x Friday~

75m OD   just 3x PS

150m Sat

130m Sun

355m/$50.5m OW

 

Well we forecasted mid 20s PS and a $50m OW several days ago.  The metrics worked for a change😏

Oh yeah I agree. I specifically mean American toons. Local toons can go crazy as we have seen this year.
