I don't think Narnia could ever have been as consistently big as Potter... the stories are not related and the main characters change! Its the same with the Ender's Game movie. If the first one is a success, they shouldn't just expect an audience to materialize for the sequel when it is a completely different type of story and us 1000's of years in the future.

So BOM is estimating 26,000,000 tickets sold for the weekend. I think that might not take into account 3D though.... Do we know how that compares to all-time opening weekend attendance?

Exactly... check this out tribefan:

Yea, its true... I remember too, back when Disney Animation Studios wasn't under Lasseter, that they were hoping that internally, many people at the studio were rooting for it to flop, because they had Meet the Robinsons out the same year. We all know how that went haha
-
That is true BK007... BO-wise, i remember people have always predicted that the new original movies would flop... first Ratatoille, then Wall-E and there was even an article that I read about Up flopping.
Here it is actually:

oh never mind, that is about Cars II, but still!

And anyway, we're still more than six months away from Brave's release. I'm certain a more coherent trailer is in the future. I don't think
I think that is fair enough. I'm anticipating this movie no matter what trailer comes out, but I hope you are right!
-
Sorry, not seeing a difference. I HATE that Wall-E trailer and the Ratatouille one is even more reliant on slapstick than Brave is.
Agreed about the Ratatouille one (though I still think it is better than Brave)... they both play up the kid humor, but both of them actually present a more cohesive and compelling story. Brave is just a random, largely unfollowable mishmash that goes from humorous to serious in like 1/2 a second.Could be personal preference, but it wasnt that funny to me at all, whereas Wall-E was.

All those folks defending Cars 2 last year, here is exhibit A as to why I was so vehement that yes, a crap movie will affect future releases. Maybe not, but like the old adage goes, you're only as good as your last movie... Never seen so many skeptics going into a Pixar movie until this one. Not as many of those typical "...but I trust Pixar, they've never let me down before" posts this time around.
Don't know how I feel about being made an exhibit, haha but i totally know what you mean.
Plus the disconcerting thing is that a movie is a huge deal....many people at all levels (and yes Lasseter himself) would have had to have been on board with Cars 2, from initial concept, story etc. While its "just" one miss, it does say something.
-
Meh.... I feel the same way about this as I did about Up at this point in time.
Of course, Up turned out being awesome, but I refuse to be sure this will go the same way.
True, sad to say, but my faith has been shaken a bit in Pixar. They pretty much always have lame trailers though, so I perhaps this will live up to the Pixar name

This could be very big in Europe.
How about Ireland haha?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmsT63BgFPwSo that was pretty cool as far as showing the animation goes... still, its going to a whole lot for them to create as good of characters as the original show
-
Trailer, I didnt know about that! Im looking it up right now...
-
haha, that is true... i have never noticed that. I guess what I meant is that instead of making fresh ideas, they just dig up the dregs of the old stuff and the whole series ends up loosing its magic, like stupid straight-to-dvd movies and the endless t.v. shows Disney produces (Lion king 1.5 etc.). Pixar is worrying me because they used to be the opposite of that, but with Cars 2 and Monsters 2, I am starting to wonder...

I took a history of film class at college, so we saw some really early "films" going way back, like I think to the 1870's or so. The one below is from 1902 and is the first science fiction movie made.
-
I think they got better as they went, so number 3 for sure. I really hope they don't pull a Disney and keep making endless sequels. They ended the series in the best possible way, so I hope they leave it that way and move on to something else!

I'm surprised this thread isn't more popular, as apparently, 1999 is the "year that changed films" haha.Fight Club and Being John Malkovich are two of my favorites for sure
