Yeah, the degree to which Coco smashed the previous best Pixar film was mind-boggling. I’ll be curious to see whether the next few Pixar films fall back to previous levels totally or only partially.

Coco was a big lifeline for Pixar in China. I2 could come down to normal levels but still higher than Pixar's pre-Coco movies. 

Feel Ralph2 will be a breakout and do 50% more than I2.

Grinch seems tough to gauge. Amongs recent Illumination movies Minions did $68, SLOP $58, Sing $31 and DM3 $158 (am looking at $ grosses so ER surely changes things. Guessing Minions is bigger than it seems).

8.24M @12 PM. Not entirely sure how the internal multipliers would work today, but should work as a Saturday.

 

It should triple that amount for 25M or so.

IW made 235M on IMAX alone, new record for that format.

[POTUS 2020]

24-25m today. w/o the holiday TFS would have been 10m, 12m 24m, so not expecting a bump tomorrow

It'll clear $360m w/o ext now.  $365-370m with it.

I think DM3 benefited from a very aggressive marketing campaign in China and took advantage of a barren summer for family films. If I recall correctly, it was the only Hollywood film allowed during the summer blackout period and thus became the only decent film targeting children during the entirety of summer vacation.

I wonder what strings were pulled for that lucrative release date.   Marketing was insane (as it was WW with almost $600m worth in marketing partnerships)

2.3B is now within reach with an extension! Bravo!

IW has beaten FF8 in Shanghai, and soon in Beijing.

Shanghai: IW 155.2m; FF8: 150.17m; FF7:157.7M

Beijing: FF8  146.1M  ; IW 137M; FF7 159.5m

Those 2 cities accountes for 12-14% of whole country.

Last Saturday midpoint was a little later than 3PM. If 3PM turns out to be the midpoint today, it will end up with 30M!!

Btw the presales to beat are: 4.04m.

That's what IW had for Friday at 3:00 am, so let's see if it can increase on sat PS.

It wont. PS is not even at the halfway mark yet at 6pm. I doubt it will increase in gross tomorrow. More likely to decrease or at most stay flat

 

Also amongst the top 3 holdovers it has had the biggest (in the fact the only) rise so far (at 6pm) from yesterday at +77.5% with the other 2 dropping -15% and -33%(solo). 

Of course numbers will change by the end of the day but this just confirms further how strong MCU is with families.

Nobody will take their children to see a Rom-com, or a SW movie.
