Numbers for Brother Bear

Again another mostly uneducated, but optimistic guess - $27 mill Opening - $148 mill mill thru Dec. 31, 2003 -

Peace G4l
 
Why not throw a guess out there, huh?

Let's go with 16.9 Million Opening Weekend and 86 Million overall by the end of December. :(
 
I will say 17 million opening weekend and 85 million total. I hope that I am wrong though!
 

Guess I'd better take a shot at holding onto my tear-stained stub...

The Saturday opening will hold down the opening weekend, but not as much as it would for a more teen or adult oriented film.

$18.8 million Opening
$135 million by eoy.

Looking only at the themes as I understand them to be portrayed, I see the potential for a big holiday hit. However, Disney's recent past of inconsistent execution has tempered my expectations. I'm still going with a nice success though.
 
My guess is a 13 million opening with a US total of 78 million.
I hope it does better but their is competiton from other movies and disney's animated films havent done great as of late.
 
HB - lowest opening guess. Bob O - lowest total take estimate. Hey, you can both lay claim to being least optimistic about this Disney offering.......................................and it wouldn't be the the R&N Board we all love it it weren't that way ;). The only question is.......................will AV trump you both ::yes::.

Question for all you prognosticators. How do you think Bear will stack up against JB2, box office wise?
 
According to Box Office Mojo, JB2 topped out just under $48 million.

Brother Bear should beat that easily. It's a "safer" bet than Treasure Planet, so unless its just a bad film, it should easily surpass the JB sequel.
 
Okay. Here's how we stand so far. Still plenty o' time to get yours in.....still waiting on Scoop, Hope, Yoho!, Baron, and many others, including Lord Dairth Voice, to chime in.

There's still a few days before the poll will close. We have added a new 8th prize....one year's supply of Mickey Head Butter.

Some of the reviews I've seen from people who have gone to El Capitan are that the movie is pleasant enough, but certainly not "Disney's best." Considering how quickly things come to video/DVD these days, and that there are plenty of other movie choices this holiday season, I think many people who don't have kids ages 3-9 will stay home and put it on their Netflix list. Those people are crucial for generating the higher box office numbers.

Opening: A respectible 2 day total of $18.5 million
Total: An unembarassing, but not as good as the "CGI is gold" numbers... $118 million
 
Can someone please tell me I am stupid and this is not right! But I saw this thread, and everyone was guessing in the millions. When is the official opening weekend? Because on Box Office Mojo, it says Brother Bear did 291,000 this weekend. This has to be wrong.
 
I think BB opened on limited screens in NY and I think LA this past weekend. It does not open in wide release until Saturday, which I guess would be considered it's opening weekend. Of course if someone is off by 291,000 on their estimate they may say they were robbed :hyper:. Technically, the $1 Price is Right strategy would have won the bet because it did "open" on some screens last weekend.

Mojo's numbers are correct, but what they don't mention was that it was only in 2 theaters. These numbers are for the limited release (2 theaters in NewYork and LA). The full release is this weekend in 2000 theaters.
