Tuesday BO Preview: CREED - $1.4M (new Thanksgiving record), DINOS - $1.3M (above Frozen's $1.2M) FabioParme Nov 25, 07:50

Article also notes DINOS preview was behind Big Hero 6. {nm} RollingThunder Nov 25, 08:02

and ahead of FROZE which is a better comp since it was also Tuesday night preview {nm} Oleg Max Nov 25, 08:07

Don't agree it's necessarily a better comp based on day of week. {nm} RollingThunder Nov 25, 08:09

so you would rather compare Tuesday vs. Thursday, instead of Tuesday vs. Tuesday? Oleg Max Nov 25, 08:12

Not trying to be argumentative. Preview data on non traditional days is erratic and inconsistent. RollingThunder Nov 25, 08:39

but equally so. no reason to think these are outliers any more than the previous record holders {nm} slipping jimmy Nov 25, 09:01

Big Hero 6 made $1.4M on a regular Thursday preview ahead of its Friday opening FabioParme Nov 25, 08:10

Fandango has remained silent about DINOS. It's probably nowhere near Frozen, IMO. {nm} RollingThunder Nov 25, 08:13

I'm starting to think that $80M is doable. More than that, I will be surprised. {nm} FabioParme Nov 25, 08:15

I'm sticking to under $60m. Gut supersedes over analysis of previews. {nm} RollingThunder Nov 25, 08:16

* Under $70m, sorry. RollingThunder Nov 25, 08:17

FROZE had bad buzz prior to opening. People didn't even know it was a musical. Then WOM just "Let It Go". {nm} Antibody Nov 25, 10:14

If i had known it was a musical I wouldn't have said "Let it Go" i would have said "aww hell no". {nm} Dorfman Nov 25, 10:38

disney hasn't made a non-musical animated tentpole since before The Little Mermaid {nm} slipping jimmy Nov 25, 12:00

correction, except Mulan I guess {nm} slipping jimmy Nov 25, 12:24

FRNKS - $175,000 (I suppose) FabioParme Nov 25, 08:13

Not shaping up to be a great year for Max Landis... {nm} RamsFan2004 Nov 25, 08:30

How'd it get to 175K!?!? That was a miserable trailer... {nm} Kevman66 Nov 25, 08:32

The US one or the UK one? They each tried to sell a different kind of movie. {nm} RamsFan2004 Nov 25, 08:34

Only saw the US one. I believe it was before Crimson Peak (?) mashed in with a bunch of horror movies {nm} Kevman66 Nov 25, 12:33

I think the UK one was more like RDJ's Sherlock Holmes in tone {nm} RamsFan2004 Nov 25, 13:47

Saying "new industry record" is pretty tepid, IMO. 2013 was the first year to even have Tuesday previews for the Thanksgiving openers. RogerMore Nov 25, 09:32
