lilmac Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 For reference, Cars 2's average weekend drop rate for the first nine weeks (ie: up to the tenth weekend) was -45.79%. I didn't go further because then it had the Labour Day expansion and it went up over 400%. Thanks Lab! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayumanggi Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 My revised estimate for Brave is $240mil. I think it will recover and yet won't recover from the steep drop this weekend, if that makes any sense. Tracking pretty closely with Wall-E for now but I think it will fare better over the next few month. Why did Wall-E drop so heavily in its first 4 weeks? It was an excellent movie. Up and Wall-E's grosses should have been reversed IMO. I notice BoMojo still has "Bear and the Bow" in the URL for the Brave pages. LOL I think WALL-E was hit hard by JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH. Remember how leggy that was? It stole a lot of repeat viewings.

Mayhem2x3 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Just watched Tangled and I'm absolutely amazed how positive and sympathic this movie was! Wow! I have a 'banana smile' on my face! : D If Merida is as good written and animated as Razpunzel, I'm gonna love Brave. : ) (but I'm still hope we will have non dubbed version in cinemas...) It's not as well written. It's a solid follow-up to Tangled though. If I had to boil it down, I think it lacks the significant punches/beauty of the "Lanterns" scene and the "You were my new dream" scene. Tracking pretty closely with Wall-E for now but I think it will fare better over the next few month. Why did Wall-E drop so heavily in its first 4 weeks? It was an excellent movie. Up and Wall-E's grosses should have been reversed IMO. You misunderstand the family audience and this genre (just slightly). UP was tremendously more kid-friendly than Wall-E + it had a much more endearing love-story about Ellie and Carl. They finished just fine where they should have.

Letsuseournoggin Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 **posted this in the Monday thread. Posting here as well** That Brave hold is the best Pixar hold among similar releases on the same day in its run. Rat dropped 53.4% and Wall E dropped 54.4% on their second Monday. Hold the phone. Brave is not falling apart. **Choosing these comparable titles since these were the two Pixar films released in late June. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoot Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Big weekend coming up. Needs a good hold to withstand the IA4 onslaught. Should determine whether it hits Cars or WALL-E numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
druv10 Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Brave passed 150M. It should finish it's run between 240-250M, absolutely awesome results after Cars 2 debacle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudolf Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Does it really matter wheter Brave makes 220 or 240 or 260 DOM or whetherts RT score is 70 or 75 or 80 ? IMHO, what really matters for Pixar is OS 250 or 300 or 350 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gideon Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Every Pixar since Cars in 2006 got to 500M+ WW. Brave must not break this nice streak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinocchio Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 I guess it might reach 60% OS, so if it makes 250 mio domestic ---> 620 mio worldwide anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gideon Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 When i think that for some days, the RT% felt in the high 60's... sigh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
druv10 Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 When i think that for some days, the RT% felt in the high 60's... sigh. That was beyond despicable, that it was hanging so dearly to stay fresh. Absolutely despicable by the critics, they can suck it. Brave truly is the return to form by the studio I love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinocchio Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 So, Pixar in your eyes sucked with UP and Wall-E? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gideon Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 I want to see it. Waiting for early...august!! About the 500M WW streak: If Brave does it, then next years are a given, right? (MU, TGD, IaGMP...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
