A good new IP with a great hold, fighting off the Jurassic World colossus?
Well done. Pixar. Hope you take note of what a new IP can do if done properly.

They have a dinosaur movie coming this November, too.

at long last, the 1st $3 billion WW box office smash
Jeff Katzenberg to immediately fast track a dinosaur movie for Dreamworks.
Ice Age 5 will be rewritten to be about Dinosaurs again. And Rex will get a bigger role in Toy Story 4.
I have partially purged the second and third from my memory, but is the notion that the public never learns that the events of the first park led to the issues in the second and third movie (both of which had decent sized body counts)?
Minions seems to be undervalued. When I saw Jurassic World the whole packed theater ate up the 2 minute teaser trailer.

I would be very surprised if Minions doesnt make $100m+ OW
I can't speak for the USA but in the UK they are everywhere and generally seem to be liked but everyone, not just kids
Yeah I can vouch for this. So many products are using the Minions for their marketing over here. That plus all the merchandise I've seen already. It's going to be huge.

My amazon shipping box I just got was 100% Minions branded.
PM me.
I have Uwe Boll attached to direct and 80's pop sensation Tiffany circling to star.
We have much to discuss.

I've seen an ad for Minions on basically every channel I've watched the last couple weeks. They're freaking everywhere. I don't follow box office threads too much but I'll be shocked if it opens under 120 million the first weekend with how many ads I've seen.

Most of its money will be made by the time Minions comes in. But it is nice to see Pixar back.

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
I did not enjoy Inside Out as much as I would of thought - my expectations were most likely too high.
Still, I'm hoping Pixar maintains their consecutive #1's at the BO and this week is the best chance it has to do so.

They already lost it.

They did? Which film?
Inside Out.

Inside Out opened last week at #2. It would be pretty crazy for them to open at 2 and then climb to 1 in the 2nd week. I'm sure that hasn't happened to many times.

Isn't early tracking suggesting that Inside Out might debut at #1 this weekend so it would continue their reign or is it still Jurassic World (they always update it)?

There were a couple perturbed looking Tyrannosaurs in the teaser I saw. I'm sure they're going to be at the list very miffed and looking to inflict high doses of mischief and discomfort.

Their streak was films opening at number 1. I guess you could say "consecutive movies to hit number 1 at any point" could still be a streak, but it just sort of shows how meaningless that stat is. Inside out was a huge opening for Pixar, much bigger than nearly any other movie they've ever made, despite it opening 2nd.
Given that the film had already debuted last week, I'd rank the chances of it debuting again this weekend - let alone at #1 - to be relatively minute. But I suppose there is a slight glimmer of a chance that spacetime will fold unto itself, shattering our conception of linear time and rewriting the course of history as we know it.

Perfect! Hoping for the best!
It's a tad meaningless, but good PR for Disney ahhaha

Booooo. I wanted Inside Out to at least take this weekend.
This isn't going to go away is it?Sorry I couldn't hear you over all the gunfire, what were you saying?

Looks like JW is going to win the weekend again.
Everyone was expecting IO to hold it off.

Crazy that JW is still pulling it off, if the actuals indeed come back that way.

it's going to be a better movie that way though.

Yeah, JW will be #1 when actuals come out. Always seems to be the case lol

Going to wait for actuals. Universal has underestimated every week, while last week IO was overestimated.
If Jurassic World's Saturday was indeed bigger than Inside Out's, it will probably win this weekend as well. Universal seems to like to play it cautious.
That said, $54.2M is coincidentally exactly what Jurassic World needed to hit $500M by today.
It beats Avengers quickest to $500M domestic by 6 days.
Avengers made $166M after its third weekend. If Jurassic World at least matches that, it will pass Titanic for the #2 domestic slot.

Hoping IO gets that number 1, but as many mentioned, Universal tend to underestimate their releases.
Edit: Ted 2 is a huge disappointment.

JW would need a 27% Sunday drop to have that result, while IO would need a 10% drop.
Roughly 0% chance of that being accurate.
Disney is fudging high, and Universal is underestimating.

Yup. The-numbers shows the same. So odd from BOM. I used to visit that site regularly.
What happened?
IMDB has been cutting its operating budget I would guess. They have also had some significant staff turnover.
Worldwide Updates:
Avengers: Age of Ultron - $1.371B
Tomorrowland - $202M
Inside Out - $266M

Fucking Christ, Tomorrowland

Seems like the logical explaination.
I wonder if Disney will do a write-down for Tomorrowland as they have done in the past with John Carter and Lone Ranger - it performed in the same range as those and carried the equivalent budget.
I think it was announced that they probably will be doing that. Age of Ultron and Star Wars still have a shot at $3B combined, so it's hard to feel too bad for them this year.
