While I'm happy for the projections, we'll have to wait and see what happens. But I'd like to remind again that this wasn't make or break for WDAS as it didn't need "saving". The studio would have been fine even if Moana 2 didn't do well, but I'm glad it will so it won't even be an issue.Yoo hoo! https://deadline.com/2024/10/moana-2-box-office-projection-1236120216/ Looks like WDAS will be saved after al!!

I donāt think they drop it on the same day of Agathaās finale. It would have to be the week after or the week after the election.Thursday previews are out, not much changes as has been the case for most of the month. Smile 2 is really the only new movie out. Next weekend should be more interesting with Venom 3 coming out.
Here are the numbers for Thursday -

Also of note, even though DP&W will increase it theater count for this weekend in a last ditch effort before it hits D+, the splash page for DP&W on D+ was updated with the video format specs of its release. This is usually done about a week before it hits the service. So that means it'll hit D+ really soon, I would think next week with fellow MCU adjacent movie Venom 3 releasing in theaters. If not then the week after, as the rumors I've been seeing was for a Oct 30th D+ release.

Well see, but Iām not sure why you think they canāt release things at the same time as other content, as they have done so previously. But based on how other movies were previously released, just as the article I posted says, the fact they updated the video formats on the title page indicates itās likely to release soon. So sometime in the next week or two is my guess.

Ugh! That evil WDWPro keeps saying that Moana 2 is going to flop! Is he for real? I know Disney Irish will get on me on this, but I want Moana 2 succeed at the box office, even though itās probably likely. But seriously, what is wrong with WDWPro? Is he trying to get Disney to go bankrupt?

You just need to stop paying attention to them. They have no power over the box office.

Plus, you forget, they said Despicable Me 4 would outgross Inside Out 2 worldwide and that turned out to be a bold-faced lie.
Interesting!
The beginning of Pro's descent on these forums when he tried to pass himself off as an insider was when he said that Disney had projections that Frozen 2 would bomb.
Frozen 2 made more than Frozen and was temporarily the number one animated film.
Pro never admitted he was wrong.
Stop watching his YouTube channel. It's toxic.

The trouble was he I think was committed to this position a couple weeks into the gross. He also actively did not understand how box office was split between domestic and global.
Which is quaint when you are claiming to be an expert and/or authority.
Iām sure his guess record last year was better and this year is awful.

That's true, they need the write offs
JK.Seriously, I agree, they do need to make movies even if many lose money as their movies are really very expensive commercials for their brand.
Its just the cost of doing business.
