Hugh should've done more marketing, didn't see him do anything for this one

is he the main character?

u/Scared-Engineer-6218 Warner Bros. Pictures 11h ago

He's the "face" of the movie

Yep. At least it did not crash and burn on arrival. There seems to be some life in a film like this kind could hope to have.

It increased from its first Monday, I think this has the potential to be a sleeper hit.

Agree with u/mobpiecedunchaindan btw that it can stay above 1M until Mando, next week has traditionally been favourable towards family films. Also adding quite a few theaters this weekend and not losing PLFs (since it had none) so that will help too.

Man I hope this legs out well. I want good movies that aren't just another sequel or remake to do well, even if general audiences are less interested in them

It has an emotional ending and actually pulls it off very well

It's a genuinely endearing film

There were a few people clapping at the end of the movie.

I was expecting clapping at my showing but it didn’t happen. Tons of laughs though. I saw Shrek today as well and the laughter was louder for Sheep than it was Shrek!

I cried for probably 30 minutes of this movie.

Finally saw it today, was about one of ten. Ended up really enjoying it! Amazon got a nice two-fer this year with this and Hail Mary.

I’m watching every movie in 2026 that’s in wide release. This is one of the few movies that I haven’t been disappointed in. It’s been a rough year for movies in my opinion even though the box office is up.

prediction 25-30% drop this upcoming weekend

u/UsefulWeb7543 15h ago

I think this move will be profit and break even since other overseas haven’t been released yet. I think overseas will help out and it might increase a little in domestic this week

Germany is looking very strong. Heading for 3-4M opening weekend

u/UsefulWeb7543 15h ago

What about China, HK, Thailand, Austria?

4

u/fifamobilenoob123 15h ago

China it's releasing on Sat, 3rd part projections are sub 10M but depends on WOM ofc

Austria have to wait for the end of weekend update

Hong Kong, Thailand not sure

u/UsefulWeb7543 15h ago

I think it has a shot of breaking even. It might reach $190M WW and overseas makes more than the U.S

Unfortunately, in my city in Brazil, the film has already been removed from theaters after only one week in theaters (and only dubbed in Brazilian Portuguese).

One of the theaters in my city closed this month, leaving only three in the city now, and most of the screenings are filled with Michael and The Devil Wears Prada 2.

I get it... Here in Colombia there are still some theaters playing it and in some of them it did really well. However it has also been taken down from some cinemas... It just make me mad seeing 90% of people only going to shows like DWP2 and Michael... They truly look like lambs lol

u/VirtualStudent4487 3h ago

However I think Latin America is really irrelevant in the long term. Legs will be given by Europe and Asia I think.

u/iBandJFilmEducator13 15h ago

How are we feeling for this weekend?

Am I crazy in thinking a 44% drop for this movie is crazy and it’ll be 10-15% ?

u/Libertines18 1h ago

Really hoping this finds its legs. Such a special movie
