Re: Aladdin predictions
Will Smith and his Genie carried the bulk of marketing for the film. Without him in the cast, I could see the film struggle even more at the box office.

Re: Aladdin predictions
Totally agree. He's not the Will Smith of 1996 - 2004 but he still carries weight.

Re: Aladdin predictions
It was too popular with too many trailer views not to do well. Shouldn't be a surprise. The online reaction to the genie didn't really matter and didn't involve the target audience anyway.

Re: Aladdin predictions
At $810m WW now. Japan may be the key in pushing it close/over a billion.

Re: Aladdin predictions
Man what a comeback story this movie is. No matter how big FFH or LK are this is easily the most impressive performance all summer, although everything else being so shitty helps.

Re: Aladdin predictions
Will Smith has been very smart to find a new niche playing high-profile supporting roles in big franchise blockbusters. It lets him keep his A+-list movie star status while not having to carry the whole weight of a film on his diminished drawing power.

Re: Aladdin predictions
At $813.2m with actuals.
Japan and US alone should push it to 900m. Would be irritating if it barely missed a billion.

Re: Aladdin predictions
Great that people love the film, wonder if this will get a sequel?
Better marketing and release date and this does 30% more both domestic and overseas.

Re: Aladdin predictions
If they do a sequel, just skip straight to Aladdin and the King of Thieves.

Re: Aladdin predictions
I mean... if they went for a Maleficent sequel surely this should get one. Definitely want one for this over Jungle Book.

Re: Aladdin predictions
They'll definitely make sequels to this. Hopefully they don't rush them though.

Re: Aladdin predictions
Guess they may wait until Maleficent 2's performance before deciding on the sequel.

Re: Aladdin predictions
At $880m.
Japan and US alone should be good for another $60m+ million.
