Monsters University will make less than $1M this weekend, that wont hurt Smurfs 2

That's not my point. I don't know many families that see 4 movies in a row like that. If they saw Monsters "X" amount of weeks ago, they might not see another kid movie again so soon.

They certainly didn't see turbo and kids love smurfs . I think it's projected to make upwards of $700 million worldwide

I don't know any kid who even knows who they are either lol and where is this $700 WW number coming from?

Smurfs looks dreadful. The fact that the first made enough money to warrant a sequel is ****ing sad.

The first film made over $560 world wide, and they expect the international numbers to climb on the sequel.

The US box office for Smurfs 2 is not very relevant.
