Box Office 2006 Part 2

20th Century Fox's animated sequel, Ice Age: The Meltdown has defied almost all expectations with an opening day that is set to make it the highest opening movie of the year even without including its Sunday box office.

According to early Friday estimates, the animated film grossed over $21.6 million in its first day, Its release into 3,963 theatres made it the fifth widest release in history, and it averaged over $5,400 per venue. That opening day puts it in line to make close to $75 million or slightly more over the weekend, based on comparisons with similar animated films.

Going by estimates, had a bigger opening day gross than both of Pixar Studios' last two movies, Finding Nemo and The Incredibles, which each made just under $21 million their opening days. 2004's Shrek 2, currently the highest opening animated film of all time, opened quietly on a Wednesday with $11.7 million before grossing another $108 million over the three-day weekend and then becoming the third highest grossing movie of all time with $441 million in the U.S. alone
 
damn ..could this be this years' Shrek 2?
 
IA2 is going to have a great run. With this opening day it, this could reach as high as 250 million.
 
And we're surprised why? Though there's about 5 other animated CG movies coming out featuring animals this year, so I would laugh my ass off if those were all the 100 mil + blockbusters this year.
 
Estimated numbers for the weekend: $70,5 million. Ice Age 2 easily sets a new opening record for March.
 
AICN gave Ice Age 2 terrible reviews

Comingsoon's predictions:

The Benchwarmers: $14 to 16 million opening weekend on its way to around $45 million.

Lucky Number Slevin: $5 to 7 million opening weekend on its way to just under $20 million.

Phat Girlz: $3 to 5 million opening weekend on its way to less than $8 million.

Take the Lead: $15 to 17 million opening weekend on its way to $50 million total.
 
Yeah, I predict Benchwarmers hitting number one this weekend. Though I am curious about Slevin. I haven't seen Lucy Liu in anything for a couple years.
