I cried like 4 or 5 times. I haven't felt so seen in a movie in a long time.

YOU FUCKING WHAT

I mean IF I understand, because it was coming out a week before Memorial Day and closer to summer weekdays. It's not like Garfield was that big a threat anyways. But yeah, Transformers should have dropped mid-August IMO

Crisis averted. Still convinced it would have done around 55M ten years ago. 45M at worst. But I'll take 35M I guess.

Moderation @Block-Busted Not sure why you're prolonging this conversation when you know that Pixar won't ever shut down, but it ends here. Do this again and you're getting a threadban.

Oh, did I say the future for non-NTC animation is rough? Never mind. It's fucking bleak. If reviews as incredible as this still aren't enough for today's braindead audiences too piss-scared to see anything but nostalgia slop, then nothing is going to do well.

What’s your fursona bb?

I mean I think it’s still a great opening considering the circumstances and will be hella profitable for both Uni and Dreamworms. I just kind of wish we were back at a time when an animated non-sequel could comfortably hit around 50M like it was nothing. It’s great something like Elemental can find its audience and earn great legs. Great for theaters too, since the more a movie plays in a theater, the more revenue the theaters get. Still, I don’t know if animated non-sequels having to survive as long as there are no other animated movies on the market is super healthy long-term.

You know 10 years ago, this would have opened to like 55 or 60M just off these stellar reviews and make like 250M or something. Now, Charlie’s data is saying it will barely get to 30M like Elemental. And like Elemental and Migration, Wild Robot will only get to 140M or whatever because it was lucky to have zero competition. Pixar’s Elio will probably have a similar 30/150 fate next summer. I guess it could be a lot worse, but the future for non-NTC animation is looking pretty darn rough my dudes.

It’s not even midnight on the West Coast.
