Watch out! Disney is back. Pixar smashed Thursday night previews with an estimated $13M. As for now the movie is guaranteed to hit a $100M. The only question is how far it can go. The movie won´t be frontloaded as you can see with MCU movies, another famous brand under the Disney umbrella. 92% RT and 95% verified score indicates great WOM. Father´s day on Sunday will also be a boost. Cinemascore arrives tomorrow but nobody is expecting anything but an A there.
The movie is going to have open runaway to July before Despicable Me 4 arrives. By that time we might be looking at an $400M+ grosser but let´s not get to far down the track. With an horrible performance of Lightyear and Elemental having an horrible opening this is pleasant news for the Pixar Brand. Yes it belongs to the story that Elemental recovered but this is the first time the brand has had an major opening since Toy Story 4.
If all goes well the movie can become the first Disney movie since 2019 to gross 1B at the box office. Spider-Man No Way Home is first and foremost a Sony movie for those who might be thinking of that. Overseas numbers are just as impressive, and looks to crush the low projections. Not to mention major markets are sitting out for next week. This includes Spain, Italy, Brazil and China. Japan arrives in a few months.
