Chances are slim at this point. The film will in all likelihood cross the $250m mark by the end of this upcoming weekend. Even with moderate to big drops, the weekdays will help it.


If it follows Shrek 2's trajectory from now on, it will end up with around $315m. I'm expecting around $310m.

Just to add, my current predictions are:


Spider-Man 3 $330m
Shrek 3 $310m
Pirates 3 $298-302m


I suspect Disney will make sure that Pirates gets past $300m. I can't think of any reason why theatres would want to keep these films for weeks to come given what films are upcoming. Their theatre and screen counts will take a nosedive week after week.

Sounds about right but 5 million higher on the SM3 projections

Shrek should be about $3 mil higher...

Pirates should be about $13 mil higher!!!

So this is how this summer is stacking up against other summers thus far:


2007 $909.90
2006 $756.30
2005 $769.00
2004 $797.90
2003 $950.40
2002 $921.40
2001 $600.90
2000 $615.90

Increases/Decreases

2006 $153.60
2005 $140.90
2004 $112.00
2003 -$40.50
2002 -$11.50
2001 $309.00
2000 $294.00

Other Summers vs. Current

2006 -16.88%
2005 -15.49%
2004 -12.31%
2003 4.45%
2002 1.26%
2001 -33.96%
2000 -32.31%


Current Summer's Gains on Previous Summers

2006 16.88%
2005 15.49%
2004 12.31%
2003 -4.45%
2002 -1.26%
2001 33.96%
2000 32.31%


So we're behind 2003 and 2002, and comfortably ahead of the rest. It's quite something that three $100m+ openers could not go against Spider-Man/AOTC. But to be fair, 2003 had 5 May weekends (Finding Nemo opened over May 30-June 1st), so the last two days of May in 2003 were weekends, and very strong weekend days.

The key is 2004, which holds the summer record. This is a nice increase over 2004, whose beginning was actually weak, if you recall.

The film grosses thus far:

2 Shrek the Third $227,906,792 34,015,939

SM3- DAY 36


It's now way behind the biggies, but still ahead of The Passion, which is going to pass it soon enough, and TTT and Nemo. I don't think Spidey's legs will be good enough to fend of those two, so we could see them both passing it as well.

Hmm, seems like a low number for the sixth highest opening day of the year. At this point last year, the sixth highest opening day was $19m for Scary Movie 4.

Shrek 3- Day 22



It's still $20m behind Spider-Man 3 at this point. Even with better legs, I just don't see it catching up by that much. But we'll see. It's $50m behind Shrek 2...

But O13 will easily be pushed out of the top 10 this summer

But ahead of Wild Hogs!

I'm clearly still not very coherent. For some reason, I saw Wild Hogs at 57mil, and than saw the first "Up" on the list at 60mil and thought that was Knocked Up.

Thanks to summer weekdays, it's looking more like Spidey at 335 million, Shrek at 320 million, and Pirates at a respectable 315 million.. not too shabby at all...

It's been an interesting summer so far... June has somewhat been underperforming in comparison to last year... and the first weekend of July is going to be increadibly tough to come close to last year's numbers..
However, this upcooming weekend with Ratatouille, Die Hard and Sicko, those three films alone should combine for over 100 million, so that will be great ( I totally only just noticed now that Live Free or Die hard opens on the Wednesday.... I think that is a mistake on Fox's part!)

Anyhow, at this point I can really see Transformers overperforming and pushing the 300 million barrier... it all depends on how big of a chunk Harry Potter takes out of it...
I also think Harry is going to approach 300 million ..

That would be fantastic if both films made it... that would be 5 300 million films in one summer, a definate record.

I'm still really confused about the Simpsons Movie.. it could gross anywhere from 50 million to 200 million. it's such a wild card...

And, I don't know id anyone noticed, but the 4th Bourne book was just published! I didn't even know there was a 4th. The Bourne Betrayal... Interesting to see if this helps or hinders the box office performance (as many thought it was going to be the final in the film series, though now it is looking like it won't be...)

I think it will be very hard for both Harry Potter and Transformers to make 300. Unless they both open so big that it isn't that difficult.

Strong numbers for Die Hard 4
