whoot Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 It's way ahead of WALL-E at this point but could conceivably fall behind enough in the dailies soon to end at around the same number. This is when WALL-E started pulling off its strong holds. If Brave starts to falter like Mad 3 did though, it should be a close one between Brave and WALL-E.

Mayhem2x3 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I was wrong about SM hurting it, but we'll see what TDKR does to everything this weekend, maybe. Looks like it could very well pass Mad3 by the end of the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayumanggi Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Congrats to Brave. It crossed $200M (201.1M). The 10th Pixar film to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoot Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Too lazy to go through all the massive threads this weekend. What's the estimate for Brave this Friday and weekend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem2x3 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 6.5 mil as I recall. Probably passes Mad3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoot Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Better than WALL-E, worse than Mad 3 on the same weekend... Looks like $235m is going to be the ceiling for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudolf Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 looks like Brave will open in Japan under all Pixar since Cars1(2006) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAR Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 So right under Cars then, all right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Marston Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 too much competition Cars 2 had more competition last year (opened on the same day as Transformers 3 and just two weeks after Harry Potter). It kind of is a bad opening for Brave if true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopher Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Seems headed for 225m. On par with WALL-E despite a slightly bigger opening and a overall inflation. If you ask me, I don't think this had much word of mouth. Not to say that people didn't like it, but much like WALL-E nothing was ever impressive about its daily or weekly holds to me. Didn't play much like a Pixar movie. Very curious to see what MU does next summer. Doesn't it open two weeks before the Despicable Me sequel? That could sting.

It kind of is a bad opening for Brave if true BRAVE's competition is tougher. We are talking about huge Japanese films here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AniNate Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 (edited) If it's any consolation, at least its drop would be the best of the family movies this weekend. Edited July 22, 2012 by tribefan695 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoot Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Speechless too, tribe? I feel you. Damn, I hate following the box office right now. I know Brave passes Ratatouille this weekend, but I had a helluva lot more fun following Ratatouille than I'm following Brave's run. WTF is happening.
