Foreign box office weekend dropped only -10.4%. What the hell...$800M+ minimum..


Ok, well then. This is quite the shock. Quick summary.

It made $78.3 million last weekend.
It made $70.1 million this weekend......HOLY CRAP!!!

This included opening in Japan (it's last market), which opened to $12.9 million. Apparently WOM is terrific and it on track for at least $70-75 million alone.

Disney has to be absolutely grinning at the moment. One of the best 180's I've seen in marketing. Already profitable as is and the sky is the limit at the moment. How high do you think it'll end up finishing?

I think that this summer season is an incredibly competitive season for films in a good way. Audiences have a variety to pick from and too much focus is placed on box office performance as a detriment.

$800 Mil is fantastic. Toy Story 4 will also steal views but because they are both Disney films Disney is getting data that will help craft a release schedule for a large stable of different films. Disney is competing with itself but needs to have films capture their dollars as quickly as possible for short runs instead of looking for long theatrical runs.

Disney is also looking to tap streaming revenues in a post theatrical world as soon and as continuously as possible.

Long legs in streaming will be one greater than theatrical legs.

$800 Million in this new world is great for this type of film with much more revenue to come.

Tonight, #Aladdin shd break the $250M mark at the domestic #boxoffice becoming only the 3rd film this year to do it. #CaptainMarvel did it first and then #AvengersEndgame on its 2nd day. All 3 blockbusters are from #Disney with its #Pixar unit on deck with #ToyStory4 next wknd.

just wanted to post this literally for absolutely NO OTHER reason than I know it will bother Queen.

as I predicted last year when ABUSING queen, 2019 is going to be a year of PURE hell for Queen Literally watching Disney have the Biggest Year Ever....

and The Hell Is quickly becoming Queens reality.

Queen Just made it through the gates of Hell, watching Captain Marvel become the highest grossing female superhero movie of all time and topping Wonder Woman has the highest grossing Domestic female SH movie of all time(something Queen claimed was impossible over 30 times)

and The Having To Watch Endgame Shatter almost every record possible while Embarrassingly Guaranteeing "300 Million was dead for an Opening Weekend and It will be interesting to see if EG can even match IWs OW"

and Now With Aladdin Easily heading for Hundreds of Millions in Profit Instead of The Hundreds of Millions in LOSSES he Claimed when he made a now disastrous failed troll thread claiming Aladdin would flop so bad it would lose a "good chunk of EGs profit"

So far 2019 has resulted in nothing but failure and embarrassment for queen watching Disney dominate....Queen had 3 of the biggest back to back to back trolling fails I've ever seen With his Epic fails

"This aint No Wonder Woman"
"Brace For Impact"
and "This bad Boys Gonna have legs"

^Queen made for a dozen predictions and guarantees in these horrifically failed threads,Truly not 1 came true...It was truly a collection of Nothing but Embarrassment,failure and Shame

now Queen gets to making through the gates of Hell and Meet The Devil himself and truly Experience HELL for the rest of 2019 With Disney's Dominance coming full circle with

Toy Story 4
The Lion King
Spider-Man Far From Home
Maleficent 2
Frozen 2
and Star Wars 9

Queen is going to have The Horror of watching Disney possibility Break every Studio record for revenue there is this year....as I said last year....PURE HELL....

Wow OP! I don't think i could come up with a more appropriate username for a Di$ney shill. Not that you necessarily are one. Anyway, regarrding the film i'll say that after the success of the live action Beauty and The Beast i'm not surprised by its performance. Will Smith is generally component in most roles so I expected him to be alright.

Damn.


$800+ million definitely is guaranteed. This is a bonafide smash hit.
