It's a feel good crowd pleaser, and better than everything else out this week. It makes a good counter balance to a darker film like RO, and better Christmas watching.

cannastop Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Let me set expectations high for Sing. $3m in Tuesday previews, anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bladels Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Sing was meh. I've never connected well with Illumination's movies. The only thing I really liked about their movies was minions until they released that crappy movie which killed all of my interest in them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No question about it. I am just trying to figure out how strong the argument regarding not-closed schools is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gave up on Minions half way through, but I did enjoy both Despicable Me movies. Trailer for the third one was pretty funny, I thought. Other than that, every Illumination movie looks really mediocre and child-pandering to me. Good for them that it's working though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quick question: Did they change the release date of this? I think I saw something like that on youtube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would Zootopia have much better legs than Secret Life of Pets with a rotten rating on RT? Parents tend to avoid boring or annoying movies unless their kids do non-stop begging. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illumination is single-handedly taking the place of 4 live action family-comedy movies that would have been made in the 90s. Good on them, indeed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FantasticBeasts Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 It may be funny but I am kind of feeling more optimistic for Sing now that I see the mediocre reviews. An unoriginal, cliched, funny animation is a guarranted hit..I mean it's meant for kids. It's not supposed to be a piece of art with an deep meanig etc...

narniadis Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Glad to see my issues with Tuesday previews came into play. Now to see how it affected other films. I expect Wednesday drops to be about normal mainly because 2011 didn't deal with 3 major new films on the 21st thereby negating the benefits of schools getting out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FantasticBeasts Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 (edited) 4 minutes ago, SWXII said: What I was pointing out is that reviews have very little impact on kids films. Minions,Secret Life of Pets....There are a bunch of kids' movies with lukewarm reviews that did exceptionally well. What reviewers are thinking as a disadvantage of Sing; the unoriginal story that you will see in about a hundred other animations is actually an advantage. It is a very well tested formula that always succeds. Edited December 21, 2016 by FantasticBeasts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poseidon Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 (edited) So far, nothing unexpected for RO. Right where I expected it to be. Now looking at a 20% drop on Wednesday and again flat on Thursday I would assume. Let's see how big the other movies turn out.
