Film will open big (but not record big)

Posted by: TwoMisfits (a.k.a del_SCA_TwoMisfits) on Jun 01, 08:29 in response to lobogotti's post okay, so what is your expectation here? the film won't...

And legs will not be like the 1st one...

It's my #3 summer movie, so I'm not expecting an Alice - but I don't see it as #1 (so I don't see $400M, more like $350-$375M)...

Early tracking for TMNT2 at $40m...Studio estimate at $37m tomcat90 May 31, 19:29

I was thinking $50M tops. $40M is low, but the way things are going it won't surprise me to open there give or take a few million {nm} lobogotti May 31, 19:33

Agree...and people don't seem to be in a ticket buying mood at the moment...I guess the beach beckons :) {nm} tomcat90 May 31, 19:37

They don't seem to want to buy sequels... TwoMisfits May 31, 19:43

it's certainly calling me! Disneyland in three weeks and Kauai directly after. I'm more than ready. {nm} lobogotti May 31, 19:43

+1...I'm off to Belize myself. Have a GREAT time Lobo! {nm} tomcat90 May 31, 19:46

You as well Tom! {nm} lobogotti May 31, 19:52

Each sequel get worst each time. Some overprice ipo will crash in coming a few years. {nm} mike255 May 31, 19:37

A sequel to a terrible movie that most people did not like, with reviews indicating this one is as bad or even worse shadowking May 31, 19:44

amen. but I'll say this though, Dory is going to bust out and prove some sequels are worth the wait. {nm} lobogotti May 31, 19:46

other than Toy Story, Pixar's sequels have been lame slipping jimmy May 31, 19:48

my wife and I have a bet on this one. I'm probably too close to this one, but she thinks there's reason enough lobogotti May 31, 19:55

I have zero interest in Finding Dory. I thought the original movie was one of Pixar's worst. {nm} diamondman56 May 31, 20:21

Blasphemy!!! {nm} masonacj Jun 01, 07:08

No that's good. We'll need that extra seat. {nm} clusterxxxx Jun 01, 07:32

Couldn't agree more. Everyone I know with kids including mine can't wait {nm} tomcat90 May 31, 19:49

Well, yeah, most people actually liked Nemo. shadowking May 31, 19:53

agreed shadow. {nm} lobogotti May 31, 19:56

FNEMO is masterful film making. This sequel is completely unnecessary. And what can I say, I"m sure I'll probably watch it. goodvibe61 May 31, 21:26

they do need better balance, but hey, we got Inside out so its still kinda worth it {nm} Moviesnob May 31, 21:44

I loved FNEMO but I only made it thru about 30 min of Inside Out before I quit watching {nm} JDolphin May 31, 22:52

Different strokes! {nm} Moviesnob May 31, 22:56

that was dumb {nm} slipping jimmy May 31, 23:01

Why? If you're bored by a movie why should you keep watching it? {nm} JDolphin May 31, 23:45

Because you missed a lot of the depth and meat of the story. {nm} masonacj Jun 01, 07:09

couldn't agree more about the original. in my eyes, an instant classic. lobogotti Jun 01, 05:56

But Toy Story had 3 wildly different movie plots TwoMisfits Jun 01, 06:36

okay, so what is your expectation here? the film won't work? the film won't open well? the film won't have legs? {nm} lobogotti Jun 01, 06:40

Film will open big (but not record big) TwoMisfits Jun 01, 08:29

that's fair. so the current price or something bewtween $90-105M is what you're thinking? {nm} lobogotti Jun 01, 08:36

Probably to the higher end on the open TwoMisfits Jun 01, 08:52

but you don't think Pets will beat Dory in OW or final gross, right? {nm} lobogotti Jun 01, 10:41

I just looked at your Pick 5, so I see that you do. good luck, that's a bold pick. {nm} lobogotti Jun 01, 10:42

Thanks - I just was a fan of originals over sequels this summer TwoMisfits Jun 01, 13:52

Which is exactly what everyone thought about the first movie and it opened over $60 million... diamondman56 May 31, 20:20
