Box Office Showdown (6/30-7/2) Despicable Me 3, The House, Baby Driver

[Leonidas King]

Baby Driver could well turn out to be the same scenario as Scott Pilgrim performance-wise, which is truly sad. I sure hope thats not the case cause the film was incredible.

DM3 is being released 4,529 theaters. Widest release ever.

Really? How? I thought it was just okay. Were you the guy behind me that was the only one laughing at every line I wonder?

I'll check out all of the openers.

Nah, it wasn't good enough for that. There wasn't anything special, so unclear why so many on here are wetting their pants over it.

Smell the Banana's. Banana vision.

But to be fair. A lot of movies are like that now there.

Even if I had fun with the film, yeah, it's going to dominate the box office. Hell, it could even take over Homecoming.

Nope. That one too at my Regal - 4DX.

Wouldn't be surprised if it did. Kids love those yellow guys and so do I.

I don't think it will be that big. Animated movies have not done well this year for whatever reason.

Which means this could be the one that does.

Don't underestimate Illumination and their goddamn minions. Minions made a billion dollars, more than both Despicable Me movies, The Secret Life Of Pets and Sing did EXTREMELY WELL for original films.

Even if it underperforms barely, it'll still be big.

Minion madness will continue to reign supreme.
