It seems TOYS3 will eventually (after delist, perhaps) become the highest grosser opening this year (Avatar will probably have earned the Facto Jun 19, 20:30

Avatar has approximately $465.8M earned in 2010. {nm} fourstars Jun 19, 20:33

Indeed. Its first 14 days were in 2009. In those exact two weeks, it made $283.624.210. Total now is around $749.5M... {nm} Facto Jun 19, 21:42

that's toast {nm} mickpix Jun 19, 22:12

I'm not so sure it has the same legs as prior Pixar movies. This is a much bigger open and could have a bigger decline. Not convinced it GMov Jun 19, 22:38

It's still earning/accumulating... And may be re-released in a special, director's edition before the end of the year(?) It'll be hard to Facto Jun 19, 22:38

the only question in my mind is how long it takes TOYS3 to get to 500 million. mickpix Jun 19, 22:42

Weeks after HSX delist, if so. It's got great reviews, but its 3D is said to be nowhere near that of the quality of for ex. Avatar. Also, Facto Jun 19, 22:47

the 3D is not what will keep people coming back. the story will keep people of all ages coming back. all summer long {nm} mickpix Jun 19, 23:03

Who said the quality of the 3D is bad? The 3D is just about perfect because it's subtle and doesn't overpower the storytelling. secretstalker Jun 20, 04:18

Don't forget there is not an unlimited audience for it. It is too scary for really young kids...not cool enough (G-rated) for teens... GMov Jun 19, 22:51

Harry Potter And The Deathly Hollows Should Be The Biggest Opener Of The Year Especially With 3D And An Opening On A Friday. wrongturn687 Jun 19, 20:38

Looking forward to see how it does since it's finally opening on a Friday for a change. {nm} kcpelot Jun 19, 21:56

HPOT7 for the win! {nm} carlmans Jun 19, 22:40

Yup, it's gonna be giant. But boy, I hope HPOT8 stays on a Friday. Jelly Jun 20, 03:53

Called it months ago and reiterate before opening, boosh...don't feel like digging for the post {nm} bennyboy10 Jun 19, 23:09
