That was worldwide projection.

What were the other two that were higher? This is obviously awesome, but I thought it would be bigger because this is one of the most promoted movies I can remember.

Looks like overseas numbers slightly overperformed.

 

300M domestic is likely, probably 500M WW final. Only problem is Moana 2 washing everything away this weekend.

International is low and Hurricane Moana is coming.

People trying to turn this into some kind of underperformance  the constant shifting of goalposts on this website never ceases to amaze me

Nice numbers. Although I did expect bigger domestic numbers. It nearly didn't beat Beetlejuice 2 opening with a way bigger marketing capaign and way more hype.

[JO1s]

It's not even open in a lot of countries yet, this film will have legs. And I don't think Moana 2 will completely flood this film out.

If it's anything like The Greatest Showman's legs it'll be massive.

I can understand the sentiment. The film reportedly had massive pre-sales, second only to D&W. Additionally, some publications and box office analysts were predicting a domestic opening between $120M and $155M just a few weeks ago.

 

Given those expectations, the $114M opening feels somewhat underwhelming, especially since many were anticipating an overperformance similar to Barbie.
