Deadline predicts that the film will have made back its budget by Monday

Except...It hasn't. Disney only gets half of that.
shareSo? If it ends above $65M in US & above $65M overseas, it's actually considered a success. Probably not a huge profit for Disney, but they are going to make money from DVD sales.
shareIt's only at $28M overseas right now, so it's going to struggle to make $65M in those markets.
I'm glad to see it doing well domestically with small week-to-week drops considering its opening weekend was less than expected. It actually rebounded to the number three position this weekend, so it's got some legs. I just wouldn't hold my breath for a theatrically released sequel.
It's not that I want a sequel
I just want. quality family films to be rewarded and encouraged.
