-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Incredibles has so much going for it, it's unbelievable. One magic word that is the key to The Incredibles' success is PIXAR. Pixar has never failed. It has never failed the expectations of the studio and it has never failed the expectations of the viewers.

Each of Pixar's movies so far has opened to more than its predecessor and ended up with more than its predecessor. Last yaer a Pixar movie, Finding Nemo, dethroned The Lion King as the most successful animated movie of all time and that after many year's of TLK's reign.

Furthermore, people just want to see CGI animated movies. This is more obvious that anything. Shark Tale has been getting bad WoM and terrible reviews over at RT and yet its drops are small, legs are good and a total gross of around $185+ million is very likely.

Moreover, The Incredibles' release date will help it out a lot. It is mimicing Monsters Inc.'s release date which benefited heavily from Thanksgiving and Christmas. Monsters Inc. was harmed by Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone quite a bit, though. The Incredibles won't have such a huge opponent to deal with.


However, even The Incredibles has some few minor obstacles in its way. It is Pixar's first PG-rated movie, in contrast to all its previous G-rated efforts. Also the theme of the movie doesn't have such a wide appeal as...say Finding Nemo. The biggest obstacle, however, will be the fact that Robert Zemeckis' The Polar Express is opening exactly FIVE days after The Incredibles. The Polar Express is really a wild guess. It can bomb or be a huge hit. I predict it to be a big hit, this year's Elf. Zemeckis has rarely ever failed and this year he has Tom Hanks' support as well as a classic Christmas theme. This kind of competiton will surely hurt The Incredibles. Even if The Polar Express won't be huge, it will still hurt The Incerdibles somewhat.

Therefore, here are my (almost) final predictions:


Opening weekend - $69 million

Total gross - $288 million

Total- $278.8 million

Lookin' good for The Incredibles. Great advertising, good and funny trailers, good release date. It's going to murder The Polar Express, so there's no worry.

The film looks very funny but I think that its going to lack on the story. Finding Nemo was a big hit because of the great story and the comedy was just a bonus, but this looks like more comedy than story. So if I confused you.

Opening- 82 mil
Total- 332 mil

45m/180m

I think Dreamworks double team of Shrek 2 DVD Nov. 5 and Shark tale finishing it's run will hurt it.

$62m opening
$211m final

Now that's kind of lowballing, eh?

Hmm...I'm not liking the trailers I'm seeing on TV right now, but I'm sure it'll do great nonetheless.

$65/$250

Seriously, thats really low, I think that its a lock for 200m personally.

It may be a little low, I could see maybe 10m on my original 180m TBO figure. Pixar can't have a hit everytime.

Right now I'm at 82m/355. However, I have some doubts. CGI humans don't seem to work that well. Still, the way the handle it in this film is far better then The Polar Express or Final Fantasy.

I've updated with predictions and averages.

C'mon people, post your predictions!

Opening 88.6
Total 401
...

84m / 385m

$90M/$305M

78/344

SharkTale's underwhelming opening is giving me doubts though.

Could go anywhere from 50 million to 80 million....

Opening: $67.5
Total: $313.0

Opening weekend: $65.4m
Total gross: $305.3m

Averages and predictions updated

I'm thinking $65-68 million opening...more than Monsters Inc but slightly less than Finding Nemo...but exceeding $250 million total. I think it will do better among older teens and guys, but might lose some women. I just think it's funny that the two biggest movies of the year are SHREK 2 (CGI) and Spider-Man 2 (CGI) just as Pixar mixes the two..of course, it's not a sequel.

$71m/$295m

Probably close to 300. One thing though, unless the Polar Express is a great magical very received movie, The Incredibles will probably kill it.

My final predictions are in my sig, so look below.

The Incredibles is gonna rock our world.

hmmmmm... Best Picture Nomination uh!
cool!
