Biggest selling films of all time bracket- LOTR 1 wins
BadAtGender replied to Films's topic in The Speakeasy
It's a super tough call. -
Great work this week. Some fantastic analysis from all three contributors.
-
It was really successful in Europe. I believe it's the biggest animated film of all time in Denmark, for instance.
-
Ouch. You have to go all the way down to Bulletproof Monk to find an Easter opener with a worse PTA than Transcendence.
-
I don't believe data is easily available that far back, but I wouldn't be surprised if both Titanic and Mononoke Hime got close to 30x.
-
Competition also doesn't seem to matter as much in Japan. It's really Japanese. So a lot of the culture is difficult to parse, even if the story is really clear and well done. Mononoke Hime is even moreso, and while it didn't even have as strong a release campaign as SA, the business does reflect that cultural divide. Ponyo and Arriety both did better in part due to the lack of such specific cultural cues. (TWR is down in business, and again has a story more steeped in themes that will resonate differently,)There's also a difficulty in how to sell these films. While animation professionals and film fans will recognize Miyazaki it's a bit hard to advertise something as "come see this film, the director is a genius."It's not really right or fair, but it's the way it goes.

POT 1The Hunger Games: Catching FireLord Of The Rings: Fellowship Of The Ring (tough call, but fellowship is more even in quality.) POT 2FrozenJurassic Park (really tough choice.) -
It's still really good, either way.
-
Only 381k to go.

Okay. I did not expect hummingbirds fighting it out of who gets a flower to be so awesome.
-
She does sound quite gentle. The bee and orchid sequence was something else. It was like botany porn.
-
I'm watching DisneyNature's Wings of Life. It's got Meryl Streep doing the narration, but she's narrating as if she's a flower. So it's very strange for me, because I keep thinking back to Adaptation.
-
If you look at Murgatroyd's charts, this isn't especially unprecedented or even a huge concern. A lot of films have a bit of a drop in weekend 6, it seems, so Frozen following that pattern would be in line.

Are You Getting Tired of Comic Book Films?
BadAtGender replied to Dark Jedi Master 007's topic in The Speakeasy
I wish there were more movies adapting non-superhero comic books. Let's get more awesome autobio films like American Splendor. -
This is a reminder for me to work on my own top 25 animated films of all time list.
-
I do like that Sita Sings the Blues is on the list. Really great little film, there. I'm surprised The Thief and the Cobbler didn't make the list.
-
The overall selection is pretty good. The order is pretty iffy. I question anything that rates Fantastic Mr. Fox so high. It's a cute little film, but hardly that brilliant.
-
Ah, the Murder, She Wrote effect. It's a common trope in any ongoing mystery series with a single protagonist. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MysteryMagnet I do still like Conan, but I haven't read the manga in several years, now. I can't remember why, but I stopped collecting them around volume 35 or so (in English). Probably should look up more of them at the library.
-
Yes, after is a good guess.
-
Muppets is up 103% and Peabody is up 90%. Some extremely strong holds for family fare.
-
Man, I do hope someone posts how well CA2 did soon.
-
I don't think there's any expectation for CA2 to do extremely well in Japan. The first only earned about $3.5m, and both Thor films earned in the vicinity of $6m. So expectations are probably for CA2 to earn from $5m to $7m or so. Changing the release date likely won't affect that in a big way.
