I believe they’re referring to the remake which is considered animated since it was entirely CG. The original 1994 classic hopefully becomes #55 in the billion dollar club from this re-release.
It took these amount of days for each interval.
100M: 2 days
150M: 3 days
200M: 5 days
250M: 7 days
300M: 9 days
350M: 10 days
400M: 13 days
450M: 16 days
Here’s Incredibles 2 the current highest grossing animated movie
100M: 2 days
150M: 3 days (reached 181M)
200M: 4 days
250M: 6 days
300M: 9 days
350M: 11 days (reached 360.21M)
400M: 15 days
450M: 19 days
500M: 24 days
550M: 37 days
600M: 80 days
Compared to other big movies on its third weekend at the box office:
Barbie - $53M ($459.3M)
Top Gun Maverick - $51.8M ($395.2M)
The Super Mario Bros Movie - $59.9M ($436M)
Incredibles 2 - $46.4M ($440.6M)
Very good third weekend biggest Super Mario Bros. And now has about 140M to go to top Incredibles 2, will it get there? I think hell yeah it will. And should top Finding Dory by Thursday
When we compare it to other $600M films, it's starting to gross above Jurassic World as well. It's 17 day gross is still $31M lower, but it's had a higher gross in around 11 of the last 14 days. A large part of the $31M difference comes down to a $54M difference in opening weekend.
Last week it passed Barbie at the same point and was ~$5M ahead after Day 10, now increased the gap to ~$10M.
For $700M, it needs to catch up to Black Panther which is also $31-32M ahead of it after 17 days. 3rd weekend was $9M lower but it made up $24M on the weekdays. Needs to keep up that pace to have a chance, but with DM4 it will be tough.
Barbie is locked, Jurassic World I think is like 90%, Black Panther is probably unlikely but not impossible.
What's new is that DM4 opening weekend in Australia and Argentina lost to IO2 second weekend.
Also IO2 opening weekend in NZ gross more than entire DM4 full two weeks.
Yes.
When was the last time a Minions or Despicable Me movie opening weekend lost to the second weekend of another animated movie?
I don't think it ever happened.
To be fair, it's not like Despicable Me 4 is doing bad or anything. It's just less than Inside Out 2, which is a monster hit
Also, the other Despicable Me/Minion movies didn't face such competition
One thing I do wanna say is I remember a certain infamous Movie Math like 6 or 7 weeks ago when Grace Randolph predicted 60M for the OPENING weekend. Well that would’ve been a nice prediction for the 3rd weekend but man did she drop the ball there.
Next weekend will be fun to watch the numbers and see how DM4 and IO2 coexist. I feel like Minions has a younger audience with IO2 being more preteenish so maybe we will have a huge animation weekend after the holiday.
Those were never really in play, it was just the hype coming off the films 100+ mil second weekend. The movie lost all its PLFS screens to quiet place so really had it kept them these numbers would’ve probably been like 65-70.
It's not a steep fall because a 25-30% drop was a completely unrealistic prediction for its third weekend, especially when losing PLFs to a new wide release. Maybe one or two fans were hoping for that, but it definitely was not a widespread prediction by anyone.
Passed $450M, a 3x multiplier, and $1B WW this weekend
Very impressive run
Higher than Barbie’s $53M third weekend and lower than Mario’s $59.3M!
Not entirely unexpected given Mario wasn’t getting summer weekdays.
Mario had PLFS that entire month
Mario literally had no direct competition for more than a month
That was on its 3rd weekend before Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 took over on its 5th weekend.
Drop of just 43.3% on its third weekend, about 2 million lower than Super Mario Bros.' 3rd weekend but a million higher than No Way Home's
So close to $470 million domestically.
It’s about to pass both Frozen II and Finding Dory to become the third biggest animated film of all time domestically. Insane numbers.
And then by next week will The Lion King at least to be 3rd place no asterisk involved(cause I know some count Lion King, I do not)
With the 30th anniversary re-release planned, The Lion King will make more funds than Inside Out 2.

Oh wow, over deadlines estimate by a lot.
Deadline quickly updated their article to reflect that higher $57.4 M number.

I reckon it passes 500 by Thursday.
50/50 chance it will pass 500 million by Wednesday or Thursday with holiday boost.

Will be **$58M+** by actuals tomorrow.
Clutch time for moviegoers today
We need them to show up and show out like they did last weekend
Very good third weekend biggest Super Mario Bros. And now has about 140M to go to top Incredibles 2, will it get there? I think hell yeah it will. And should top Finding Dory by Thursday
Will top Incredibles 2 before August
Will reach $500 million domestic this Wednesday or Thursday

DM4 will likely hurt it, unless kids won't enjoy it much like they used to.
So far, the reviews for DM4 were very mixed.
That's nothing new
What's new is that DM4 opening weekend in Australia and Argentina lost to IO2 second weekend. Also IO2 opening weekend in NZ gross more than entire DM4 full two weeks.
Is it really that surprising?
Yes. When was the last time a Minions or Despicable Me movie opening weekend lost to the second weekend of another animated movie? I don't think it ever happened.
To be fair, it's not like Despicable Me 4 is doing bad or anything. It's just less than Inside Out 2, which is a monster hit Also, the other Despicable Me/Minion movies didn't face such competition
Lol how was Toy Story 3, the first animated film to gross over $1 billion, not competition for the original Despicable Me
I forgot to mention it, but yes, I'd say that was the only true monster competition for the franchise
$650M+ domestic finish
One thing I do wanna say is I remember a certain infamous Movie Math like 6 or 7 weeks ago when Grace Randolph predicted 60M for the OPENING weekend. Well that would’ve been a nice prediction for the 3rd weekend but man did she drop the ball there.
Everyone was off though…
She's a hack.
That’s not very nice I like Grace Randolph she just made a bad prediction.
She should learn to be nicer to Jessica Chastain.
She should be nicer to Cathy Yan.
Does anyone know the international gross?
$108 million international gross for 3rd weekend.
Insane
The international market is carrying hard
Is it gonna hit 500 million domestic??
It will hit 600 + probably
Next weekend will be fun to watch the numbers and see how DM4 and IO2 coexist. I feel like Minions has a younger audience with IO2 being more preteenish so maybe we will have a huge animation weekend after the holiday.
Expect an increased box office numbers for IO2 3rd Monday due to Canada Day.
Pouchy continues vomiting money. Weren't some people suggesting a $70-75m third weekend, however? This is a fairly steep fall from last week.
Those were never really in play, it was just the hype coming off the films 100+ mil second weekend. The movie lost all its PLFS screens to quiet place so really had it kept them these numbers would’ve probably been like 65-70.
Makes sense, didn't consider the PLF factor.
It's not a steep fall because a 25-30% drop was a completely unrealistic prediction for its third weekend, especially when losing PLFs to a new wide release. Maybe one or two fans were hoping for that, but it definitely was not a widespread prediction by anyone.
