So below 70 million for Despicable Me 4 first weekend.

That’s a downright bad independence day number.
Fuck this makes me wanna say 750m may not even be reached.

Apple to apple comparison:
Despicable Me 2 on Thursday (also July 4) grossed $24.5 million
DM2 had $83 million 3-day OW, $143 million 5-day OW, and went on to gross $368 million DOM and $970 million WW.
DM4 will need a very strong international gross to match DM2 WW total.

Easy to say in hindsight, but DM4 would have been better off waiting one more week for Inside Out 2 hype to die down. Twisters should have opened this weekend instead.

That’s less than Despicable Me 2 on Thursday with $24.5M which is still good

IO2 may end up making double DM4 WW

This is still great for theaters to have these grosses and all the foot traffic from families but unfortunately Inside Out hurt this movie and I feel like that’s pretty clear now. And vice versa, Inside Out is obviously seeing a steeper drop than it would have if Despicable Me wasn’t out. Even if it’s still a very good hold in the face of competition, it’s still a steeper drop than it would’ve seen otherwise.
