I'm gonna say $80M might be low on Pets... TwoMisfits Jul 01, 13:54

Agreed. Most anticipated in my household. {nm} ndmaster Jul 01, 20:24

DL: tracking [TREK3] [PETS] Antibody Jul 01, 13:56

I think TREK3 will hit high-end of expectations. Rough teaser trailer, but they've more than made up for it since. HAPPY 50th ANNIVERSARY! {nm} chosenone2oo5 Jul 01, 15:00

As far as PETS is concerned...I think it's a crowded marketplace (Dory AND BFG, at minimum), so a respectable $65M seems more likely. {nm} chosenone2oo5 Jul 01, 15:02

BFG doesn't seem to be drawing kids TwoMisfits Jul 01, 15:07

You can either look at it as too many hands on deck, or a high tide raises all boats. But it's been low tide all summer, and PETS-->(cont.) chosenone2oo5 Jul 01, 16:02

The massive numbers of kids who have seen DORY now will go see PETS. This one is another winner. Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Jul 01, 16:32

Agreed. Dory and Pets are spaced the same as Inside Out and Minions were last summer. {nm} warcraft86 Jul 01, 17:04

Sure. Assume money grows on trees. {nm} chosenone2oo5 Jul 01, 19:30

It's not an assumption, it's based on experience. In addition to warcraft's example, MONS2/DESM2 opened within 2 weeks of each other in 2013 RogerMore Jul 01, 20:25

Who can't afford to go to the movies??? {nm} ndmaster Jul 01, 20:25

People who are selective. People who go during specific times to get cheaper tickets because they literally can't pay $1 more later on. chosenone2oo5 Jul 01, 21:22

PETS is going to crush 65m. It's easily the most anticipated kids film besides DORY. {nm} Hersheybar Jul 01, 17:18

Totally agree. I hope it's as good as the trailers make it look. Its the only movie I know most people I know want to see. {nm} Baron_Darcon Jul 01, 20:00

I haven't seen an animated film since the original Jungle Book and I'm going to see PETS. I think it's going to be $100M+. {nm} jnine13 Jul 01, 22:23

100M+ for a non-franchise, non-sequel animated movie? shadowking Jul 02, 06:47

If that's the case, Americans are stupider than I thought. {nm} chosenone2oo5 Jul 02, 11:27

there's nothing stupid about a group of people liking a movie more than you do. {nm} Moviesnob Jul 02, 12:10

Maybe I meant gullible...or low standards, which is low education, which is just stupid again...suppose it's all opinion/subjective anyways. chosenone2oo5 Jul 02, 23:01

84% currently at rottentomatoes. Current consensus is it's a good movie. {nm} Moviesnob Jul 03, 10:17

Current consensus is Americans will watch anything well-payed critics, part of the system, will tell them to see. Latest example: PETS. {nm} chosenone2oo5 Jul 03, 20:38
