It's not bad, it's just not the Robin Williams/animated version.
The whole sequence in the original movie was done as a parade going through the entire city. It's the same feel here, the genie is just not shape-shifting around.
Some people are saying the song mistakes Ostriches for mammals, but literally as they say mammal they cut to the Abu Elephant.
Again, the remake has to live up to the Robin Williams genie or most people won't be on board.

What the heck was going on in this trailer, LOL
Still will see it.

Beauty and the Beast could the biggest fim of this Disney line after all.
Still not convinced Lionk King CGI will conquer the world.
No but Beyonce singing Circle of Life and Can You Feel the Love Tonight might.
Either way, the King Will Soon Return

To be honest, I still think it’s scheduling. Between Pikachu and TS4, a new 4 quad $150M+ aiming family film opens in the span of 8 weeks, every two weeks. We shouldn’t even be considering sub $200M a possibility, had Disney had this for 2020, and was exactly the same, it would’ve dominated that year.
Yeah, but after this week, I don't see Pikachu quite as much of a threat. I was predicting a considerably larger than 58 million opening. I'm actually very disappointed in Pikachu.
And what makes the insult to injury is Disney's basically competing with itself between Aladdin and Toy Story 4, which I've slowly started to notice isn't getting as much attention as it should be.

I’d argue Aladdin would be much more previews based than the average family film. Not as much as Pikachu or Incredibles 2 so to speak but I’d imagine if it appeals primarily to the female demographic, the previews would be more inflated.
Though I agree, $60M OW is the absolute worst for Aladdin. I still think it’ll be around $75M-$90M OW.
Had they just have released the actual trailer instead of that sneak peek I'd be talking maybe 150 million opening weekend. Even I know that sneak peek hurt Aladdin.
As for pre-sales, I come from a more rural area where most pre-ordering (we have them but people don't tend to buy them) until the week of release. The only exception being Endgame.

London Has Fallen was aggressively stupid. Like holy shit, it was as if a drunk frat boy wandered onto a movie set, gave the original director a wedgie and hung him on a flag pole and took over directing duties.

I mean, yeah, I'm not blind, they're clearing pushing Lion King and Avengers more.
The only thing I think could equal the soon to be popularity of Lion King is Little Mermaid. Out of all the remakes, these two are the ones they cannot afford to screw up. It's also the reason why Little Mermaid hasn't been announced yet, the amount of CGI in that film would be intense. Get James Wan dammit.

Mulder, I've pretty much accepted the fact the film might not do well, but I also think it might at least do better than what this board thinks it will do. I don't really think people put much thought into reviews, unless they don't want to think for themselves.
I care way more for Lion King, which is likely going to be the Endgame of the Disney live action remakes. That monster is going to make money.

Not to rag on Aladdin too much because boy does this forum have too much stuff that approaches concern trolling but the other thing is, the lack of reactions and the embargo being so late means to me a lot of people on the fence won't get things to convince them and if the RT score is as bad as a lot of people are fearing that'll be erm...not good.
Or you know, the lack of reviews and reactions won't matter and people go see it anyway because they grew up with the original and want to see how it is live action/take their children to go see it. Aladdin will at least do better than Dumbo. I'm sorta convinced it will have a big Memorial Day weekend. Maybe not no 150 million, but it won't be 40-60 million. It's likely going to be like Pirates 5.
It's at least not another Solo where they had to scramble to reshoot an almost entire second movie.
Aladdin (and Godzilla) is not a movie that screams preorders, it screams walk ups. They'll end up doing both fine, and then Toy Story 4 will come and then Spider-man and then Lion King and then we all calm down until Frozen 2 and Star Wars.

Gunn may not have wrote or directed it but the trailers do advertise in big letters "From Producer James Gunn, Visionary Director of Guardians of the Galaxy and it's written by his cousin and his brother, so it is still a bit of a family affair movie. Studio is banking on people's love of Gunn, sorta like how Fox banked Cameron's name on Alita though I still believe that Cameron ghost directed it.
But yeah, he didn't direct it.
If only they got rid of the goofy mask.

That'll go the way of Fantastic Beasts and lead to diminishing returns. Speaking of which, is WB still doing three more of those?!
With how 2 did, they might quietly decide to combine 4-5 into 3 and call it a night.
Anywhooooo.
As with Edge of Tomorrow, if you're not a Tom Cruise fan, you'll really love it.

Sure, but the issue is that CBM's are an exploitable IP where you can crank out three a year from one studio and have them dominate the marketplace. You can't do that with IT 2, which cannot have a sequel/large quantity of spin-off's.
They could probably pull an It prequel out of their ass with Pennywise haunting Derry over the decades.

We'll never know. We're not getting a straight adaptation of the original games or anime.
Obviously not now that's for sure, unless Disney buys Nintendo and does it.
I've never been huge into Pokemon, it was never really my thing, but I always felt that a movie version should be its own beast with elements of the various games. Like the hero is trying to be the very best like no one ever was and instead of a Pikachu his main would either be a Squirtle or a Charmander.
I'm still convinced a live action Digimon movie would work better since all the monsters talk and most of the battle sequences are like superhero battles anyway, all good vs evil.

I have to agree with you there. DP was a big chance for a new IP to create some variety but of course, it's not a superhero movie so of course nobody wants to see it in theaters.
I see it less because of that and more because the fans are still somewhat bewildered that it's not either a straight adaptation of the original games or the anime.
Also Danny Devito Pikachu > Ryan Reynolds Pikachu.

They really should have tweaked their late 2018 slate around,
They should have had Ralph come out in March 2018 like they originally planned and released Aladdin on Thanksgiving and Nutcracker in December (so it could die)and Mary Poppins in February around Valentine's Day. They could have then just kept Dumbo where it is but moved Lion King to Memorial Day and we could finally have a massive Memorial Day weekend again full of Yass Kings and meltdowns.

Disney remains the King of over-spending. Seems like Universal and Warner's manage to do with $80m what Disney does with $170m. At least with the Marvel and Star Wars films you see that money on the screen, but they reportedly spent $170m on DUMBO for crying out loud, and it looks like it was made for $70m.
Should have been, too, and they would have made a profit on it.
At $175m Aladdin is going to be hard-priced not to lose money.Well, to be fair, they're about to make 3 billion dollars on Endgame and have already made a billion on Captain Marvel and will likely make over a billion each with Lion King, Frozen 2 and Star Wars 9 and a wunderkind of a streaming service about to be unleashed on the world. A 170-million flop to them is just another Tuesday.

But what if both Godzilla and Aladdin make 700M+ WW?
Then hurray! We got co-existing blockbusters!
I'm hoping Godzilla atomic breaths the box office until Toy Story 4.

I’m thinking $8M/$80M/$105M/$240M/$800M.
I like your prediction, it's mostly my higher prediction.

yikes I just looked at Will Smith's RT page and it's predominantly rotten. He's the male Angelina Jolie....another A list with mostly rotten movies
Making serious bank mostly makes up for it though.

All being said though, I believe Aladdin will pull a Pirates 5
Thursday Nights: 6 million
3-Day OW: 70 million
4-Day OW: 85 million
Total Domestic: 150 million
Global: Somewhere around 700-800 million
But if it makes more in spite of what this board thinks. . . heheheehehehahahahhah

No there is a lot of Aladdin-specific disdain for it. While TLK has the usual suspects, there's still a ton of hype for it. I've seen nothing but disdain for Guy Ritchie being the director, the brownface controversies, the Genie design etc etc.
I'm quite possibly the one person on this board that is the most hyped for Lion King. It's going to be an absolute game changer in the special effects department.
Aladdin was always, always going to be the hardest one for people to accept a remake of. But outside of film buffs and movie forum posters, who actually knows who Guy Ritchie is? The brownface controversies, I'll give you that. That's inexcusable.
The genie is a weird case. Internet went crazy saying how bad the design looked in the sneak peek. Then the actual trailer dropped and the reaction towards him changed for the most part. Sure you got people complaining about a CGI genie but most people pretty much figured when Will Smith was announced he'd be playing a CGI blue genie.
So basically, when it was revealed that he was a big blue CGI genie, people went all surprised Pikachu.

No offense but what in the heck are you smoking. Aladdin's absolutely savaged on social media.
Someone apparently doesn't understand SOMEWHAT in a post,
Of course the hate is there, just like it was for Beauty and the Beast, Jungle Book, Maleficent, Alice, Alice Through the Looking Glass, Pete's Dragon, Christopher Robin, and all these other live action Disney movies.
There's not even enough reactions from the people that saw it earlier in the week to really give you an actual idea on how the movie is, except they all seem to really like Will Smith as the genie.
But compared to the reaction to the first look at the live action genie, there is SIGNIFICANTLY less hate towards it and more the traditional "Why can't Disney do anything original and stop remaking their animated movies" spiel that goes on with each and every one of these. You could make a Mean Girls style Burn Book out of all the videos and posts people do against these remakes.
Lion King gets it too, when it's not just people excitedly posting BEYONCE?!?! and yet the movies going to make a shit ton of money.

Age of Extinction and Last Knight are absolute messes of movies but I still love their utter stupidity. Transformers is at its best when it's big, loud and really dumb.

The quality is bad, but they do have a clip from A Whole New World sequence, albeit in another language.
