THR: ased on pre-release tracking, MONS2 has a strong shot of $70 million or more. WWARZ could open in the $50 million range.

WWARZ being R is news to me, THR. I always thought it was PG-13. My OW predict for WWARZ is $56-$62M. Like Par's lowball of 45M, funny.

I like MONS2 for $80M+ despite the letdown trailer, but it's Pixar. They could time-lapse a paint job drying, and it's a $70M+ OW for them.

Well, except for CARS, UP, WALL-E, RATAT, CARS2 and BRAVE, which all opened in the summer under $70M.

Yeah, I posted a bit fast. I guess I tried to make the point that Pixar's OWs these days seem to get bigger with each release.

The original is the only Pixar property about which I liked exactly nothing. And RATAT and INCRD are amongst my favourite films.

Monsters is my favorite Pixar, Rat and Incred were just ok or less, But I don't like the prequel story line - seems to leave out all the

They didn't do it their last two films. 66 Brave, 66 Cars 2

Yeah, tatoufan, that's $66M, which seems to be their average OW--very few studios, animation or otherwise, can brag about such consistency.

As for MONS2 it will be another homerun, although (I'm crushed to say this) it's beginning to look like Pixar is less deserving of these.

WWZ is indeed PG-13; looks like they corrected the error.
