The Dark Rock Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 I am not surprised nor disappointed with MI5 numbers...all movies can't do $200m+ and that too without 3d...in the thread of MI5 O/U AOU, I predicted $150m and looks like final run will be closer to that 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
efialtes76 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 (edited) Minions today could be as low as 130~140m .... $100m in danger. MI5 should stay above 90m today. Yes! Edited September 13, 2015 by efialtes76 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Planodisney Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 So, Minions is looking at somewhere around Big Hero 6 numbers in China or slightly above? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Planodisney Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 I'm guessing these numbers mean only 35-45 million for IO, tops! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olive Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 (edited) Sunday est Minions OD - 123M/$19.3m, including midnights, a bit underwhelming. Heading to around 700M yuan if it doesn't collapse next week. Mi5 - 88.4m/550m, $86.3M 6-day opening is also under expectation. Heading to 950M-1B yuan.

keysersoze123 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 I think we need to temper expectations for all future releases. All this talk of KFP3 making 400-500m!!! need to stop. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catty Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Saying that 170m is disappointing for MI5 is ridiculous. It's doing great business, maybe expecting AoU and JW numbers were too optimistic. Exactly!! It's only a disappointment to posters who predicted outrageously high numbers which so many people on this board seem to do!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinaTakla Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 (edited) I think we are all to blame, those of us who gave outrageous expectations. If Minions doesn't reach 100m then neither IO will gross 85 million, and nor will Ice Age gross 150m! And neither will KFP3 earn 400 or 500 million either! We should re-think all our expectations. If MI5 couldn't cross 150m, then all the above films will most likely not do crazy either, especially summer 2016 films after the blackout period which seems to be a doom period for the Chinese BO. Still, Minions seems to have grossed a breaking record for animated films in China? So it's still an excellent number.

The Dark Alfred Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 You have to take into consideration that MI5 is in 2D. It will probably have nearly as many admissions as JW. Sorry that it can't double MI4's tally, what a flop #sarcasm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry that it can't double MI4's tally, what a flop #sarcasm m not saying flop, am saying we all made the mistake of thinking crazy numbers for it and for Minions and other films. We all thought MI5 might cross 200 or 220m in China which it won't, and some thought Minions will cross 150m in China which it won't either Both are not flops at all - but a victim to unrealistic expectations Interesting facts: MI5 is the record for a 2d film opening and Minions for an animated film opening.

MinaTakla Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Kylin, news are reporting Minions OD was actually 20.1 not 19.3... SCREEN DAILY: With a $20.1m opening day in China, Minions is now the second biggest animation of all time worldwide with $1.080bn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrFanaticGuy34 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 And yeah...the only best case scenario for KFP3 is around $250-300M in China. $500M isn't likely to happen....wish it would, but I really can't see it. $250-300M is a more fair expectation. Not too high. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fake Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Minions may still do 100M and MI5 150M, but I don't expect much more than that. Decent for both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fake, interested on your take on how much you expect for the following films, given the need to lower expectations after the Minions and MI5 results: KFP3, IA5 and IO.

MinaTakla Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 (edited) Wow - looks like Minions OD isn't disappointing AT ALL. I take that back! Deadline says Minions OD is the highest ever for an animation in China (both Hollywood and Chinese) and is 44% higher OD than the 3-day opening weekend of Monkey King - the highest animation ever! ‘Minions’ $20.1M China Bow Is Biggest Opening Day Ever For An Animated Film Universal and Illumination’s Minions marched into the Middle Kingdom today with an estimated $20.1M (125M yuan) opening. That makes it the biggest opening day for an animated film ever in China; roughly 50% higher than the previous record held by Kung Fu Panda 2 (81M yuan). In more recent comps, it’s 40% higher than the three-day weekend of Despicable Me 2 back in January 2014. The first movie in the franchise was never released in China, but DM2 ultimately made about $53M there. On a local currency basis, Minions‘ first day out is also notably 44% bigger than the three-day opening of Chinese summer hit Monkey King: Hero Is Back (86.5M yuan) which on September 9 set a record as the highest-grossing Chinese animation of all time at 995M yuan ($156M).
