... quite a bit under Frozen's 5-day total. Trolls definitely sapped a bit of the "animated musical" demand just like I had predicted.
Sing will ensure a knee-capping before Christmas also...just like I predicted.
We are probably looking at a domestic total in the range of Brave. Not bad at all, but a bit underwhelming in the grand scheme of things.
Variety is saying Moana will probably finish with 88M first weekend. I think it's silly to start tooting your horn about your predictions before they actually happen.
Also, I think it was always a given that Trolls, Moana and Sing were going to affect each other. It really isn't a BOLD statement to say so. That's like me saying the sun is going to rise tomorrow and me creating a thread boasting about it..

So much this... Not every film is going to have some cookie cutter pop song that honestly is the reason people go back to see it mores o than any depth or character development. Granted I love Idina Menzel.
shareSo you're bragging about being right based on....nothing? Like, seriously, you are making a prediction, and then bragging based on your prediction because the same prediction you made 2 days ago is the same......without the prediction coming true. That's just...confusing.
Also, performing less than Frozen? When did making less than the highest grossing animated film of all time become something that makes a movie an underperformer? Talk about ridiculously high standards.
Frozen's success was in it's legs. Sing will cut it's legs off. Since this is performing. quite a bit LESS in it's opening we can see where this is going.
shareFirst of all, gotta point out, the grammar nazi in me is making me, but it would be "its" legs.
Anyways. Frozen had incredible legs, yes. I've pointed that out in numerous threads, because the legs on it were astounding, for sure. But a $92 million 5-day is in no way anything to laugh at. It's incredible. And, what do you mean since this is performing quite a bit less? It outdid Frozen's Tuesday night previews. That's all the numbers that are in. Not even half of today's numbers are in as of yet, and the ones that are in are from early mornings and matinees. The late afternoon/night is where it'll get its numbers...so...yeah. Again, your saying it's underperforming is based on nothing.
So what? Why do you care so much that Moana won't match Frozen's box office?
Disney knows Moana is competing with Trolls and Sing for the family audience this holiday season and have adjusted their expectations. If matching Frozen (which had that Christmas all to themselves) was as important to them as it is to you, they would have moved the opening date to one where there was no competition. Moana will still be a huge success at 75M+ opening week so relax and enjoy the ride.
Just like SLOP cut Dory's legs off, right?
So Moana is going to be a major hit.
1. If Frozen is our bar for success, basically nothing can ever be successful. Frozen was a massive cultural phenomenon. You can't repeat that. It just doesn't happen.
2. It's on track to beat Frozen's opening day and potentially 5-day Thanksgiving record. More here: http://deadline.com/2016/11/moana-fantastic-beasts-tuesday-box-office-thanksgiving-1201859220/
Also, Trolls is projected to hold very well against Moana, so I bet Moana can do the same against Sing.
