CelestialFairyIX Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Currently, the slate for 2016 animation wise is, to say the least, nothing short of spectacular box office potential wise. We have three sequels to beloved (arguable) franchises that, possibly, could each make well over $1 billion WW! That is INSANE! Then, we have a B-grade animated flick arising from Walt Disney Animation Studios: Zootopia and of course, the highly anticipated musical: Moana from the same studio. Then from the humans that brought us the Despicable Me series and Minions comes two releases: The Secret Life of Pets and an untitled project set to hit theaters this December. Dreamworks, aside from Kung Fu Panda 3 is also releasing Trolls. Finally, a string of low-profile animation releases from other studios hit theaters. With such a potent amount of high profile releases, could 2016, possibly, be the highest grossing year for animated flicks WW or set and break an ample amount of records in the box office world? What are your predictions and thoughts? Box Office Prediction: ~ Finding Dory: $500 - 600 million plus domestically and $800 million - 1 billion OS for a cumulative of $1.3 - $1.6 billion - BOLD Prediction: #1 domestic and WW film of 2016 ~ Kung Fu Panda 3: $180 - 200 million plus domestically and $700 - 800 million OS for a cumulative of $880 - 1 billion - BOLD Prediction: Beats Kung Fu Panda 1's domestic gross ~ Ice Age: Collision Course: $125 - 175 million plus domestically and $800 - 900 million OS for a cumulative of $925 million - 1.075 billion - BOLD Prediction: Beats Finding Dory's OS gross ~ Moana: $250 - 325 million domestically and $500 - 600 million plus or lower OS for a cumulative of $750 - 925 million - BOLD Prediction: Makes $1 billion ~ The Secret Life of Pets: $200 - 250 million domestically and $300 - 400 million plus or lower OS for a cumulative of $500 - 650 million ~ Zootopia: $170 - 225 million domestically and $200 - 300 million plus or lower OS for a cumulative of $370 - 525 million ~ Trolls: $100 - 150 million domestically and $200 - 250 million plus or lower OS for a cumulative of $300 - 400 million 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AniNate Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 It certainly looks like a big year for Disney, that's for sure. Hopeful for KATTS as well. Recently when animation studios have tried to go epic and earnest it's ended up backfiring at the box office but this looks like it may be Laika's most accessible film Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PangeaMovies Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 I recently watched Zootopia. It was a good movie. Some upcoming movies such as Finding Dory, The secret life of pets etc look very promising as well. I would vote "Yes" for 2016:year of animation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CelestialFairyIX Posted August 28, 2016 Author Share Posted August 28, 2016 I am extremely disappointed by the performance of Kubo and the Two Strings. The film is absolutely gorgeous, innovative, and simply stunning. Such an amazing film does not deserve to be overlooked and shadowed by mediocrity. Hopefully it holds well and achieves a great multiplier, but it doesn't seem to be the case since it's second week drop is nowhere near Zootopia's. Hopefully I can update the charts soon when I'm free from school. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moana seems poised for box office dominance as it currently holds an impressive 100% with an 8.0 average rating on Rotten Tomatoes and has all the bearings of a Disney classic. Sing seems to follow suite as it has amassed over 47 MILLION views alone with just a single trailer and double that with all the teasers and t.v. spots included. With two soon to be gargantuan animation blockbusters on the horizon, expect 2016 to not only end on a high note for animation, but for the yearly gross to cross the $2 billion and $6 billion thresholds domestically and worldwide respectively! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
