The only two that matter are Moana and Kubo and the Two Strings.
Gah. My thoughts exactly.
Can't believe they're still going. I was 8 when the first came out. D:
Wow amazing numbers for Pets. No doubt it was gonna do well, but I didn't think this well.
Really? I've seen ads everywhere for this movie and for a good while now.
Agreed. Movie was actually pretty entertaining.

It has also been a while since OT's GenPop has come swarming into the BO thread to gloat and countergloat. Gonna be a ride.
I remember seeing trailers for pets as early as last year. The release seems perfectly timed for the summer breaks and parents out of new things to take their kids to. A week earlier, it dies. A week later, it dies.

I don't really have a horse in the Ghostbusters race. I like the new take on Ghostbusters in theory, but I haven't really liked any of Feig's films outside of Bridesmaids.
If Ghostbusters is going to fizzle at the box office though, I hope it lands sub Tarzan. If Tarzan isn't going to be the box office bomb of the year, I want it to beat as many high profile films as possible.
Ghostbusyets fall is going to be epic.
You forget Sausage Party...like most people probably will.

I wanna see it because of the secretly metal loving poodle.
I have no real interest to see the film, but I might end up taking my daughter at some point. There's nothing else that she can really go see (and that I am willing to subject myself to) for months after Pets.
Then there's also Kubo and the Two Strings and Sausage Party for the rest of the year.
Next Year's gonna be insane too:
And those are just movies from the big(ger) animation studios.

Same. I told my daughter I'd take her this weekend but I am draaaaagging my feet.
Really has me worried for Fantastic Beasts. I already thought this directors Harry Potter movies were deeply flawed outside of the performances.
Tarzan isn't that bad. I mean it's leagues ahead of Alice and Warcraft.
The way the later HP movies are directed is bland as shit. I cannot for the life of me understand how someone who hasn't read the books can enjoy them.
I can't believe Tarzan is doing so well. And I guess Warcraft will slip down from the list next week, the WW gross is just past what we were told would be the "break-even" point. What are the chances of a sequel? Even though it's gonna be in Mandarin anyway..
3 weeks for an early summer release is about as good as things get. Jurassic World and Avengers only got 3 weekends a piece and they were the two highest grossing summer films of all time
I'm actually more interested in the BFG, but it got a giant 'no thanks' from both of my kids. I'm like, it's Spielberg! And Roald Dahl! That...did not resonate. Having a daughter that loves animals made it inevitable, really.
Tarzan is the biggest story this weekend. Bigger than Pets (family films have been raking all year).
Yates has worked his magic once again to deliver a crowd pleasing blockbuster.
It was expected. There was no way Dory was topping Pets during its 3rd weekend.

In terms of Animated films, there's also this really terrible looking "Robin Crusoe told from animals" film I saw before Secret Life when I saw it last night.
Like, I get why there's all these animated films but dear god so many of them have sucked/will suck this year most likely. Norm of the North is an abomination of Mankind, Ice Age should have died years ago, DreamWorks feels like they've been in a rut since HtTYD2, Storks looks terrible as an idea, Sing looks passable(why the hell are they animals? What literal point does help beyond marketing?)
Literally, I think the only 3 studios that have been doing well animation recently is Disney, Pixar, and Illumination, though I'd still put Illumination a tier below Disney/Pixar.
And then there's Laika, over there making Stop motion like it never went out of style.

WHAT? A Captain Underpants movie? Man, this was one of the books that everyone used to buy during book fair. I might have to see that just for the nostalgia alone.

It's pretty obvious that ID4-3 needs The Rock or Kevin Hart or both if it wants to happen.
Would be an improvement over the cast in Resurgence.

Yeah I'm right there with you. My daughter couldn't care less about that movie...and she's read the book! They really missed the mark with that one, not sure if it's the style or the way it was marketed but man, what a miss it has turned out to be.

At best we'll get a made-for-TV movie :-(

Will Tarzan outgross ID:R domestically?
Pretty much guaranteed at this point.

Holy shit, there's a Captain Underpants movie on the docket?
Wonder if they'll keep Harold gay, like in the books.

Purge still the winner
Glad Tarzan held. Movie deserves a little more love than it is getting.
As far as parents dreading to go see pets. It isn't as bad as the trailers. Heck there is even a few funny parts you might enjoy. All in all it is a forgettable movie engineered in an evil lab that kids want to inject into their veins.

I wouldn't blame them for doing so. That movie seems to only pride itself on being an edgelord "adult" animated film and little else.
I'm not calling for the film to fail, but gonna be disappointed if it's hugely successful to be honest. We could stand to have more animated films for adult audiences and I don't want to speak ill of the animation studio that was contracted for it...but man, nearly everything about it from its trailers and leaked script just seems it's being offensive or disgusting for the sake of it. It overall comes off as absolutely juvenile.
When did this happen? Is it in the recent books? I haven't followed them since the series went on that really long hiatus.
100% chance. I thought it would lose some ground in weekend #2 due to July 4th last week, but Tarzan's second Fri to Mon will be higher than ID4Rs even with the holiday.

Tarzan doing much better than expected. Maybe it's the crowd that doesn't want see a kids film, yet wants to see something decent at the theater that gave it legs. I still don't know if ID4 is going to hit $100 million or not domestically.
Next week's thread is sure to be gold though.
And wow at the Purge still making bank.

I believe ID4 will hit 100M DOM. Pacific Rim did another 17.6M after its third weekend and ID4 only needs to do half that to hit 100M.

They ran out of ideas. Expect the next movie to be set in New York
Tarzan putting in some work. I'm impressed. Despite the reviews and my own reservations, I really enjoyed the film -- poor CG work aside. If they could tone down the budget, lay off some of the CG and hone the story, I bet a sequel could do really well. I love the old Tarzan movies and this one had a lot in common with that old fashioned adventure feel, but they just went too ridiculous with the large CG animal finale in the finale. It was unneeded and probably one of the reasons the budget was so ridiculous.
The wife and I are thinking about seeing Pets Tuesday, but not sure. I've never seen any of the Minions films, but the trailers looked really funny to me, for some reason.

With that cast this movie should have easily been the next "Forgetting Sarah Marshall". It's not like the concept was a difficult or original one for a romantic comedy.
