it might have a shot at skyfall as well

as far as i can gather it means that frozen is going to closely match MUs opening 2day weekend... that is pretty impressive since MU opened on a saturday and frozen on a friday which means frozens saturday numbers would have been deflated by that. please somebody in the know correct me if i am wrong

anybody know what those plagiarism claims are about?

right... sorry for reading that into your post... since previous posts were talking about the NFS movie and Resident Evil i assumed that we were talking about adaptions oh, and yeah regarding WiR... i love that one

yes, but it is not a video game adaption... the characters in WiR know that they are video game characters... rotten tomates actually has a list of video game adaptions http://www.rottentomatoes.com/guides/best_video_game_adaptations/ though i actually would not count their number one since its also strictly speaking not an adaption.

yep... guess spring break is really messing with the weekday grosses (in a good way mind you )

Lego outholding Frozen... that would be a first... but i guess the looming blu ray release might have something to do with that.

Neat... that would put it on track for my $90M guesstimate

My prediction is $90M :)So basically MU territory... might be a little high, but oh well

illegal downloads spread HBO series far and wide (see GoT) but yeah Girls is probably still pretty niche

i think Peabody targeted nearly exactely the same demographic and since it didnt do that badly LEGO suffered...

yeah... had a good run (the initial weekends were really spectacular ) btw, just stumbled across this article on the hollywood reporter... seems like ppl in the states just realized that Frozen was so successful in SK http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/frozen-crazy-south-korea-spawns-686173

I think they planned it as a kind of multi franchise starter and for that to work it probably was supposed to be really huge... which it was not really...

Chuck Jones Looney Tunes are best Looney Tunes! http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xjw9ms_feed-the-kitty_shortfilms

yes it does not look bad... and to those that think it looks cheap... i think the overall design is pretty cartoony, but the animation is top notch. The art design isnt bad as well... though choosing this very cartoony look might not really attract too much attention from the general audience which could be a problem... i certainly dont wish for this to fail terribly since that would mean that animation studios will further shy away from relatively expensive productions. i kind of like the prince of egypt as well since it is visually really impressive

He just has to find another struggling animation studio with a long and successful history to make fun of... maybe he could just spin off another company and start making fun of DWA?

pretty sure its going to be between your two estimates so for me the safest bet would then be $90M btw, are there any estimates for Frozens final gross in China? (to keep this at least somewhat on topic )

german live stream... but they are simply forwarding the abc now http://www.prosieben.at/static/oscars/index.html

wearing black in front of flashlights... pretty dangerous

Anybody know what the budget for Peabody was? Something in Legos ballpark or more along the line of previous DWA pictures? Anyways, LEGO is going to be really profitable for WB... doubt Peabody & Sherman can come even close (even if it was on a lower budget which i doubt)

Hehe, so i guess that one will be the next WW target

$1B WW, 10M admissions in SK, Menzels Oscar performance, and hopefully also some wins make this a pretty good day for frozen

right... and he has his own superhero team... the superbest friends, including Muhammad, Buddha, Moses, Joseph Smith, Krishna, Laozi and Sea Man

The way George Clooneys character in gravity dies... his relative velocity with respect to the space station was already reduced to zero and still something pulled him away... that kind of breaking physical rules for the sake of melodrama nearly killed the movie for me
