It's actually refreshing to watch a film without a subtextual cynical tone. It's simply a clear and thus powerful tale of humble heroism. Personally, I thought it was better than Flight.
Plus, the cinematography on the Alexa 65 6K Imax camera is amazing. Do watch in IMAX. It is worth it.
Although I'm happy for their success, it's kind of depressing to think that SLOP will likely top Inside Out and Zootopia domestically. At least WW numbers tell a different story.
Or Max and Gidget have a kid that gets lost (at the pound most likely) and the gang reemerges to find him/her. If it worked for Finding Nemo it'll probably work for them. One step closer to becoming discount Pixar.
Why do I have a feeling the entire plot is going to focus around the owners moving to a new city. Something like the culturally opposite city of Los Angeles... wait, I might be thinking of Bolt.
I hope the film performs well and finally throws Jeremy Saulnier into the mainstream. Honestly, I thought Blue Ruin was lacking in substance, but Green Room proved Saulnier to be a proficient director in the suspense thriller genre (David Fincher is still the king of course, but he needs a successor).
Strange that Sony isn't really involved.
Wouldn't it be a bit too late to cancel Sly Cooper? It's slated to come out later this year, so its gotta be nearly finished, right?
I wonder if Ratchet and Clank's under performance will affect how Sony markets the Sly Cooper movie. That franchise is even more out of touch with today's audiences.
I could see this as a sleeper hit. It's something action oriented yet refreshingly grounded in comparison to all the high-tech glitzy summer blockbusters. Plus, American Hustle showed that people love a 70s asthetic.
Certianly. From Western sanctions induced by Crimea to military spending in Syria to radically dropping oil prices, Russia is in a heck of a bind. Even Saudi Arabia is atttempting to diversify its economic output from oil alone.
Makes sense. Shame about the exchange rate though, especially regarding Russia. If the ruble was fairing better then $1 billion would be a lot more certain.
Just out of curiousity, does anyone know why Zootopia's numbers in Latin America aren't as strong as other recent animated hits (Inside Out)? Is it mainly because Zoo was released in the Spring?
