| Chris Hu said: Well JW didn't beat the first Avengers third weekend but it is over $500 million domestically now and did it the fastest in only 17 days. Also box office mojo needs to update JW overseas numbers they still only have it at a little over $584 million. JW should easily make over $600 million domestically now. The website the-numbers.com have JW international total at just a bit over $737 now. That website also has Furious 7 at $1.520 billion world wide so it might be ahead of the first Avengers movie after all. Minions continues to do well it already made over $50 million overseas with still a pretty limited release. Also even if it ends up making less then Inside Out world wide it will still be more profitable since it also has and sells a ton of merchandise and it has a lot of cross promotions. |
Numbers are still estimates. It could beat The Avengers when the actuals are released. Everyone's been underestimating Jurassic World since release, including Universal themselves. There was not one time Universal was on point with their estimates. They estimated 204m in JWs opening weekend when actuals were 208.8m. THey estimated 102m for its second weekend when actuals were 106.5m. Now they're estimating it at 54.2m on its 3rd weekend. The actuals could go lower or higher but based from JW's performance so far and Universals estimates, it is safe to assume that it has a higher chance of grossing more than 54.2m and beating TA's 3rd weekend.
Minions is alread a guaranteed success although I'm not sure it would beat DM2. It's released in a few markets but most of those markets are the biggest ones with UK and Australia leading the pack. It debuted with 16m in UK alone.
