 Re: Epic Crood Despicable Turbo Monsters (INTL)
It wasn't meant for Pixar movies in general......nevermind no point reasoning with you.

 Re: Epic Crood Despicable Turbo Monsters (INTL)
I know it wasn't, but you cannot ignore the fact that Monster's University is a Pixar movie, and a monster movie, and a sequel, and the first did amazingly well (and is loved by millions), so why would the second all-of-a-sudden be this scary movie that kids are so afraid of?
And yes, you're correct, there's no reasoning with me when the person who is trying to reason is clearly lacking sense.

 Re: Epic Crood Despicable Turbo Monsters (INTL)
Yes, it is a prequel, forgot, but the connection to the first movie is the same. I am 100% sure that children expecting a sequel will not be frightened when realising it is ACTUALLY a prequel. They will be not scared, either way.

 You seriously need to read what others write and not just increase your post count.

I hope Epic does really well. It actually looks really great.

Looks like CROODS' 2nd weekend drop will be miniscule in Germany...

None of these can be breakouts.

 Re: Epic Crood Despicable Turbo Monsters (INTL)
Pretty good hold on paper but I would like to know how many markets did it expand this weekend and what is the share of holdovers.

 Re: Epic Crood Despicable Turbo Monsters (INTL)
Don't know about the other markets, but it looks like Germany went from 356,978 admissions to around 360,000 2nd weekend (judging by the first 3 days of the 4 day weekend)

 Re: Epic Crood Despicable Turbo Monsters (INTL)
It was supposed to expand in 19 markets including Australia this weekend so overall its a good but not great number IMO. It could have stayed flat though majority of these 19 markets could be small markets.

 Re: Epic Crood Despicable Turbo Monsters (INTL)
Yes then this weekend could have included previews from rest of the 19 markets  I am not saying its bad but it could have stayed flat over the weekend, perhaps I am expecting too much from this movie

 Re: Epic Crood Despicable Turbo Monsters (INTL)
It did increase over last weekend (previews excluded), and it's not like this weekend it opened in many major markets. Even a blind person would see it's a great hold.

 Re: Epic Crood Despicable Turbo Monsters (INTL)
As I said I might be expecting too much cause its now out in about 60 markets so I thought it could have done another $60m specially with Australia opening. Maybe I was wrong cause I didn't remember it was THAT big over previews (didn't read it the articles last week). Based on the data you guys are suggesting I'd change by sentence, its a GREAT hold

 Re: Epic Crood Despicable Turbo Monsters (INTL)
Should do $350-400 million overseas. This is a huge hit. DreamWorks has got a new franchise. It could be their Ice Age on a smaller scale.

 Re: Epic Crood Despicable Turbo Monsters (INTL)
Yep the reception is quite good IMO and then this has so many things similar to Ice Age. Stone Age ending and Family angles are basically a straight rip-off of Ice Age.

 Re: Epic Crood Despicable Turbo Monsters (INTL)
Wow! Its going to increase over third weekend. That's surprising. Is that like a common trend in Germany for movies to see increases later in their run?

 Re: Epic Crood Despicable Turbo Monsters (INTL)
Actually, it can be quite common. just last week DJANGO UNCHAINED increased by 16 % in its 11th week and re-entered the Top Ten. Most times the reason for increases are Holidays or a worsening of weather conditions...
