I think this is a trend for animated movies in general

Posted by: benz0 on Apr 24, 13:31 in response to professor smartbrain's post i've never been able to figure out their consistently...

The only animated movies to open over $100M are Shrek 3, Toy Story 3, and Shrek 2, the next closest were Despicable Me 2 and Monsters U at bit over $80M. All sequels.

Maybe kids aren't nagging their parents as much for movies where they don't already know the characters? So they're fine waiting a week or two, and all the movies end up having long legs.

except Pixar's brand (pre-Disney at least) was long established as platinum {nm} professor smartbrain Apr 24, 13:51

Kids don't know the underlying brand, so parents have more leeway to see the movie when it suits them. {nm} RogerMore Apr 24, 14:19

You didn't mention Finding Nemo which opened in the $70M club (70.25) {nm} magicdreamer Apr 24, 19:36
