May v. August release is a big issue
And the game is not nearly as popular as it was when the first one was released.
But the May 20 release date for the first one was the weekend before Memorial Day weekend.
And it opened on 3900 screens, and was the No.1 movie that weekend with $38 million.
The good news is that I didn't short Good Boys. Band news is I'm not holding it long either. {nm} Aug 16, 13:54
THR: GBOYS $8M/$20M ANGR2 $8-$9 million; 48MDW $6-$7 million; BLBTL WDYGB $4 million each Aug 16, 14:09

Secret Life Of Pets 2 only did 43% of Secret Life of Pets total box office. {nm} Aug 16, 16:35
Hoodwinked 2 only did 20% of Hoodwinked 1, but that was largely a case of being Weinsteined. {nm} Aug 16, 16:39
Happy Feet 2 did 32%, Lego Movie 2 41%. Animated sequels are a tough biz unless you're Pixar. {nm} Aug 16, 16:44
Angry Birds 2 is actually, apparently a way better movie, but the game itself has dramatically cooled off. {nm} Aug 16, 16:45
As long as it gives me a shot at passing WB and Disney Funds...it is a towering achievement in my books! ;-) {nm} Aug 16, 17:36
There's a reasonable shot that Angry Birds 2's total domestic gross won't be higher than the opening wknd of the 1st {nm} Aug 16, 16:53
