Highest grossing animation of 2017?


Between Cars 3 and Despicable Me 3 which one will be the biggest 2017 animation movie. For me I cant separate the two, probably I think Cars 3 will win the North American domestic market, Despicable Me 3 the international box office market.

Despicable Me 3 domestically and internationally, although it will gross less than Minions and Despicable Me 2

I hope Cars 3 gets better reviews than Cars 2 for that matter.

Nicko McBrain of Iron Maiden is a Brony

I still think DM3 is going to win domestically.

Despicable Me 3 will be #1. Cars 3, Coco and The Lego Batman will fight for #2.

reply

Despicable Me 3...and it won't even be close either domestically or internationally. There's a good chance that DM3 could topple Frozen for the WW all-time highest gross.

Probably because people are idiots.

Whatever you are, be a good one.

politicidal...I hear 'ya. I don't get it as it seems the whole world has gone bananas over these horrible Illumination movies.

reply

The box office prediction I had for Cars 3, I was going by the social media reactions. The next question is which one will be better received by the film critics?.

reply

Critics have been soft on Illumination so unless Cars 3 pulls a Fast Five, I'm betting on Gru.

Whatever you are, be a good one.

reply

DM3 will crush Cars 3 at the box office but I would bet the farm that Cars 3 will be the better film.

Four months later since this last post got made.

Even with Cars 3 receiving better critical responses than Cars 2, keep in mind that the two Despicable Me movies overall have been better than the two Cars movies. Had this sequel been a product of one of Pixar's stronger movies, your claim can be argue otherwise. But this year seems to be a weak line up for animated movies, tbh. Save for about 5-6 movies, including a promising few that has yet to be release. Lego Batman has been good, I hear Captain Underpants did really well too (and I know you aren't a huge fan of Dreamworks either to even wanna hear that kind of statement :p), Coco already shows more promise than Cars 3 from its trailers (we'll see if it can live up to the hype too), and Despicable Me 3 will likely do fine.

I just listed four movies so far that could get compare better than Cars 3. But again, Cars 3 is up against a very underwhelming line up for animated movies. I mean, one of those movies in the line up includes things like.... The Emoji Movie. Let's just say that the Academy have picked the wrong year to wanna revise their animated film category.
