So, I guess the amended rule for box office is "Competion doesn't matter..."

"...unless a Monsters film in it's third weekend is facing a huge kids film."

Kinda strange that those two films are really the only examples of the competition theory happening.

Responses:

I'd say competition matters more for movies aimed at children because they are not the decision makers. - Roger More Jul 10, 12:35
I'm not ready to write that off as competition yet. Cars 2 was at 23.0% of its opening weekend during its third weekend. - David Jul 10, 11:43 6
- I would simply say to look at last Wednesday's dropoff for Monsters U. - Inigo Jul 10, 11:56 5
  - I'm obviously familiar with the numbers as I did that column last week. My point is that it could simply be decaying that quickly. - David Jul 10, 12:06 4
    - I'm not sure what you're waiting to see. The issue is whether or not competiton affected Monsters U last week. - Inigo Jul 10, 12:16 3
      - And that issue cannot be identified until we know what happens this week as well. - David Jul 10, 12:21 2
        
        I'm not sure you're geting it. - Inigo Jul 10, 12:31 1
        
        This is apples and oranges. Because of the holiday mess, we *do* need more data. - David Jul 10, 12:46
or Pixar sequels not named "Toy Story" generally blow -- nm - charlie Jul 10, 11:37 6
- I was pleasantly surprised by it. It wasn't on par with Nemo, TS3, or Incredibles, obviously, but it was a good solid movie. It actually works well - Don Homer Jul 10, 11:39 5
  - The one huge opportunity they missed... (Monsters U spoilers) - Inigo Jul 10, 11:50 3
    - but... - Beaker Jul 10, 11:53 2
      - I'm not sure many remember that scene though. (spoils) - Inigo Jul 10, 12:06
      - Right, they work as companion pieces. -- nm - David Jul 10, 11:55
  - It reminds me a lot of Kung Fu Panda 2 in that it's not laugh out loud funny but it's very well intended. -- nm - David Jul 10, 11:44
