I am not sure if Penguins will do huge numbers but then again Madagascar 3 was huge and they should be able to lure kids with origins story.

Penguins - $45m (5-day)

Horrible Bosses 2 doesn't look as good, the novelty factor is gone and the early reviews are horrible.

Horrible Bosses 2 - $30m (5-day)

Yeah I'm not really feeling any of the openers either. Penguins could go either way, but I haven't seen any marketing for it and HB2 is definitely not breaking out.

Interstellar's hold is the only thing that interests me and well the JW trailer coming online Thursday. Other than that this is going to be a boring Thanksgiving to follow.

Normally the Thanksgiving holiday has more openers to choose from. Oh well I guess.

PENGUINS OF MADAGASCAR - 31.91 MILLION (3-Day)/43.41 MILLION (5-Day)
HORRIBLE BOSSES 2 - 30.46 MILLION (3-Day)/43.48 MILLION (5-Day)
THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING - 6.84 MILLION (3-Day)/8.347 MILLION (5-Day)

I've seen a ton of marketing for Penguins of Madagascar. And it looks horrible... especially after the most recent trailer. But there isn't much for families right now over the holiday. It'll probably do fairly well.

tbh I could see Horrible Bosses completely flopping. Really bad release date for it.

Why is it a bad release date? There's not much comedy competition outside of Dumb & Dumber To which isn't that much really and Thanksgiving week is a busy movie-going week..

Actually Public enemy has a point. Thanksgiving (and the week before) isn't really a great release date for non family or franchise films.

That said it will hit or miss based on its own merits. String opening and short legs are in order.

Sure family movies generally fare the best but others get boosts too with people having time off from work and school.

idk, I don't think people will want to see something mean spirited for the holidays and this one doesn't look nearly as fun or funny as the first one.

I think Horrible Bosses can open on par with Four Christmases. Penguins should have a solid opening for a DWA title, even if it doesn't break out.

Penguins- 43/58
Bosses- 30/45

Mockingjay 52/77
BH6- 17/24
Interstellar- 12/17
D&D 2- 9/12

Horrible Bosses 2 - 5-day 27M
Penguins of Madagascar - 5 day 37M

I don't feel any buzz for HB2, it just doesn't look funny. The first was fun it showed in the ads. This one not much.

There is an ad that runs at my local theater (Marcus Theaters) that has the Penguins of Madagascar dangling on ropes as if they're on a mission, advertising gift cards. I know I haven't seen the reaction to this in front of it's target audience, but before Interstellar, Dumb & Dumber To, and Mockingjay, this ad got no reaction, and it clearly was meant to be funny. I couldn't help imagining how a similar ad featuring Minions would just slay the audience.

Hope you're right. Please, Hollywood.... Stop making shitty, redundant movies.

Also, Mockingjay drops 60%. Enough of this Part 1 crap

Horrible Bosses wasn't even funny. Would be lovely to see a drop.

I hope Penguins does well because Dreamworks needs a hit and also because it will dilute the market for NATM3, Annie and the other clunkers in December. The former definitely needs to end.

guys, this is the Madagascar franchise, of which the penguins are widely considered the best part. The brand alone is enough to get it over 40 million 3-day.
