[UPDATE X2]"},"content":{"rendered":"

So, we know Up is a big box office hit<\/a>. But just how big?<\/p>\n

Well, today’s estimates<\/a> are saying that Up has crossed the mark set by A Bug’s Life<\/a> (1998-1999\/without inflation) making it the 9th highest grossing Pixar movie<\/a> so far! Up just keeps soaring<\/a>, recently breaking the $150 million mark and now starting to climb the Pixar ladder<\/a>. The upcoming milestones for Pete Docter’s latest would be to overcome the production budget of $175 million, reach Toy Story’s domestic gross of $191,796,233<\/font> and then break through to $200 million domestically. After that, just keep going… Up!<\/p>\n

I have a feeling all of the above will be taken care of in a week or so. Maybe it’ll even reach Monsters, Inc.<\/a>-like numbers along (or at the end of) it’s run. I just have this feeling that Up could be a much bigger hit than WALL<\/span>•E and Ratatouille<\/a>, but then again I could be completely wrong with Transformers, Harry Potter and Ice Age sequels coming very soon. I’m also quite curious how it’ll do overseas, but I’ll set that off for a later discussion.<\/p>\n

Anyways, this is how the weekend<\/a> figured so far: Friday<\/a> was very successful with $8,850,000<\/strong>, suggesting Up is still going strong; right behind The Hangover but considerably in front of the "family" competition. This means Pixar’s 10th is now at a predicted $165,514,000<\/strong> putting it on track for the #2 spot in America. Further weekend estimates<\/a> put the film at $185.16 million<\/strong> once Sunday passes. Keep it here for updates throughout the weekend!<\/p>\n

Update:<\/strong> Box Office Mojo<\/a> is reporting that Friday’s weekend estimates were a tad low. They actually think Up may end… up at $187 million<\/strong> with a $13 million<\/strong> Saturday and an $8 million<\/strong> Sunday! That means Up has now busted its production budget and in the next few days will surpass Toy Story’s domestic total leaving $200 million not very far away! Impressive, impressive indeed… Expect weekend totals Monday.<\/p>\n

Update 2:<\/strong> Weekend estimates are in! The total for Up this weekend was $30,762,280<\/strong> bringing it to $187,425,989<\/strong> ending at a strong (and close) number 2! I hear there are many records attached to those numbers, sounds good to me!<\/p>\n

So as I keep saying (but I do so sincerely) keep on telling people about Up<\/a> and how much you liked it! And of course, congratulations to Pixar for their 10th hit in a row!!<\/p>\n
