Frozen opened on this slot back in 2013 with a $1.2 million Tuesday for what turned out to be a $15.2m Wednesday/$67.3m Fri-Sun/$93.5m Wed-Sun debut weekend. Pixar’s The Good Dinosaur snagged $1.3m via Tuesday previews last year for a (comparatively) frontloaded $39.155m Fri-Sun/$55.4m Wed-Sun debut weekend. For comparison’s sake, Pixar’s Inside Out had a $3.7 million Thursday preview which led to a $91m debut weekend (4%). Toy Story 3 began its $110m debut weekend with $4.1m in midnight shows (3.6%) back in June 2010. Oh, and just this summer Finding Dory earned record-breaking $9.2m Thursday gross (6.8%) towards a record-breaking $135m debut weekend.
