DreamWorks' Trolls Predictions
This opens with Doctor Strange to begin the Holiday movie season. The first teaser had a relatively poor reception, but the new trailer is much better and I'm actually anticipating it. "Can't Stop the Feeling" can only help. I really think Dreamworks has a winner here and that it will perform on par with Home or better.
55/180
Hopefully this and Moana can coexist! I literally can't wait for November with this, Moana and Fantastic Beasts!

Re: DreamWorks' Trolls Predictions
DWA is no longer relevant so this will suffer.

Re: DreamWorks' Trolls Predictions
I'm thinking this will open over $50m right now. 80's nostalgia has been clawing its way back for some reason - even CNN is doing a special on remembering the decade.

Re: DreamWorks' Trolls Predictions
Reviews for this are on par with Kung Fu Panda and Shrek if below How to Train Your Dragon.
Interest does seem low though. I think opening against Doctor Strange should hurt it. 30m+ OW should happen just based on the lack of any hit kids animated film since Pets.

Re: DreamWorks' Trolls Predictions
I would think the good reviews, heavy marketing, and lack of family films in the market should lead to this movie doing better than current tracking indicates.
It really should open to 40M+ based on the above, but opening against Dr. Strange will hurt it. I'm thinking low/mid 30's OW.
Prediction 34M

Re: DreamWorks' Trolls Predictions
Trolls merchandise has been popping up in at least 5 different stores at my last count. I'd be surprised with an opening under $40m.

Re: DreamWorks' Trolls Predictions
I never understood why the studios wanted to open this against Strange. They basically have the same audience, although DS will still skew older. It would have made more sense to push it back a week, but I guess they wanted to avoid the FB/Moana combo. Anyways, the buzz feels low, but being a straight kids flick should help and there hasn't been an animated hit since Pets, so over $30M should happen.

Re: DreamWorks' Trolls Predictions
Basically the same audience? Hardly. There is some crossover but it is not as if Strange will appeal to little girls.
