Forums - Movies & TV - Finding Dory to be yet another billion dollar film for Disney this year? 1 billion! Eat it haterz! If there were some.....

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finding_Dory

 

423 million international. Disney is on a roll this year!



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

The overseas numbers are still not that impressive but since it doesn't release in Germany until September 29 it going to make overseas revenue well past October. It should pass Shrek 2 as the highest grossing animated movie domestically if not it will at least make over $400 million domestically.

 

Well almost 350 by friday right? 400 million by sunday night maybe.

The daily gross is impressive! Star wars is a good recent example I guess. At this rate it is on its way to 450-

500 million domeatically.

 

Yeah, its legs are better then Captain America: Civil War now so it will easily make over $400 million domestically over $450 million is probably doable also.  $500 million could be possible if both The BFG and The Secret Life of Pets don't hurt its legs too much.

I have no expectations for BFG. Dahls third most popular book?

Well I probably have no expectations for it either I'm hoping it does better then Disney's first movie adation of a Dahl book James and the Giant Peach since that movie didn't make any money at the box office.  Plus the most recent one Fantastic Mr. Fox didn't make any money at the box office either.  Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory from 1971 really didn't make any money in its orginal run either since its production cost was $3 million and its first run grossed $4 million it was highly successful in its 1996 re release which made $21 million.  Despite not being very good the 2005 remake Charlie and the Chocolate Factory actually was profitable at the box office it had a budget of $150 million and made $475 million.



The BFG didn't really do much to its legs domestically over $450 million dollars is pretty much a done deal now. If The Secret Life of Pets doesn't do to much to its legs either then it will probably make over $500 million domestically.



$10 million budget Purge 3 beats $180 million Tarzan and $140 million BFG

I love it! bring on small and mid budget films taking the top spots.

All films that have broken $100 million in the USA in the first 6 months of 2016

Captain America: Civil War BV $404,857,604
Deadpool Fox $363,070,709
The Jungle Book (2016) BV $359,041,958
Finding Dory BV $343,788,856
Zootopia BV $340,608,333
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice WB $330,360,194
X-Men: Apocalypse Fox $152,857,455
Kung Fu Panda 3 Fox $143,467,597
The Angry Birds Movie Sony $105,502,614

Interesting selection of 4 superhero films, 4 3D cartoons and 1 live action remake of a Disney cartoon.

Hmm I wonder what film studios are rushing in to production even more off right now.

The Legend of Tarzan kinda bombed, The BFG totally bombed. Finding Dory is now the second highest grossing movie so far this year domestically. I'm guessing it will make at least $50 million more then Captain America: Civil War has made so far domestically so at least $455+.



I can't wait to watch Finding Dory, it releases in my country until July 15th. Finding Nemo is one of my favorite movies ever, so a sequel is like a dream come true for me.

I got to watch it a couple weeks ago. It sucks you have to wait that long, but it will be worth it! Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!



I'm not sure why Disney released BFG so close to Finding Dory. It was a bad decision since both share similar audiences so it's not surprising BFG flopped.

It's odd that Mexico usually isn't the first or one of the fist Spanish speaking markets where the big US studios release their major releases.  Besides the US and Canada only Brazil is a bigger market then Mexico when it comes to potential box office revenue in the Americas.  But since the revenue of the US and Canada is always lumped together there is actually no way of knowing of how big a market actually is when it comes to box office revenue.
