OT: Are people vastly overestimating 'Sing'?
I mean, I've even read a comment that 'Sing' is about to gross $100 million in first 3 or 4 days!
Really??? Are they even aware that 'Rogue One' is around?
Yes, people are definitely overestimating it. Anything opening in Rogue One's first week is doomed to failure.
shareI mean, I don't think 'Sing' will fail, but grossing $100 million in 4 days? No. Just no.
shareReally? Rogue one's opening is down 50% from force awakens. If that's not failure, I don't know what is.
Sing is tracking extremely well.

First, of all, it's actually 47%. If you're going to bold the thing, it should be accurate, not an estimate. Second of all, no one in their right minds on this entire planet expected it to keep up with The Force Awakens. Disney didn't, box office experts didn't, casual fans didn't, NO ONE. It was never supposed to do what TFA did. TFA was the first Star Wars movie in 11 years, and was a revitalization of the franchise. That's why it was so enormous. This is neither of those things. It's just a great movie in the Star Wars domain. So it's going to be massive, just not as massive as TFA. And if you call $29 million in "midnight" previews/premieres, which is the 6th highest in history BTW, a failure, then you are an absolute moron. share
I think Sing will do well for itself. It won't make Secret Life of Pets numbers, but to say that it's doomed to fail because it's opening against Rogue One...? Did you forget that Daddy's Home opened against The Force Awakens last December? That film made $38.7 million opening weekend and grossed over $150 million domestically. Sing will do just fine against Rogue One. Illumination is an animated box office mammoth right now.

Yep. Unfortunately, this is the reality. share
