I mean…I still win.

Uh…yeah? Barbie was “look it’s the toy you saw as a child. Buy our toys.” Mario was “it’s the games you played as a kid. Buy the toys.” MCU has gone on long enough that the kids who saw Iron Man or Avengers back then have grown up. So there’s Guardians 3 and Quantumania right there. Spider-Man is also a nostalgic property, so there is Spider-Verse right there. Little Mermaid, obvious one. The Taylor Swift tour sold itself on people who remember all her old songs and there was tons of merch based on the concert movie. So of the top 10, we got…two that don’t fit the bill. So yeah. Pretty easy to say almost all the hits (not all ofc) were, in some part, based on nostalgia. So there you go,

Movies can be toy commercials, but not be nostalgic toy commercials. It’s not a sequel or based off an already existing and nostalgic property. The line is pretty blurry for this film than most, yeah, but there’s arguments for and against. I feel you could go against.

Also not an NTC. 👀

Pro-shot. Fathom event for a limited time, but that might change with how well it's doing.

He's a star to me

Keep telling y'all audiences don't want movies that aren't nostalgic toy commercials. Even Illumination isn't safe. ☕

I agree. I also kind of like it in these instances where it's going towards one that's more obscure than the other options. Like Heron is practically locked to win Animated Feature and is in consideration for Best Picture and Best Score. It's already going to be fine in terms of awards love and attention, and a lot of people know what Ghibli is. Godzilla is also Godzilla and is already making tons of money. But for Perfect Days, I had no idea it existed, but I'm glad I know there's a new Wim Wenders movie coming and a potential nomination might mean it comes to my local arthouse. So three great films are all getting recognition and attention in their own way.

Can confirm! Got this like 5 or 6 times in the last month and it becomes more and more tiring every time I watch it.

It's the year 2078. The whole world is underwater. Warner Bros. shut down 15 years prior. And people here will still argue over whether the Snyderverse was successful or not.

Dude, it's a kids movie lol. ...I was supposed to cry?

Daddy Zilla killed it. Holy smokes.

I mean they’re only going to make like…10M at most? You do know re-releases don’t make anything, right?

@Brainbug @Mulder I am seated. Beekeeper trailer is playing. Daddy Zilla, do your magic.

This explains it better than I can. They also already have a GxK tracking number already, though tracking this far out typically doesn’t mean too much, at least if you want specifics. https://thequorum.com/tracking-103-survey-schedule/

....just send me a list.

Saw this getting mocked on social media and it’s probably the funniest YouTube thumbnail in history. The best comedians wish they could make something this funny. I hope to use “I love eating woke movies for breakfast” at some point in my life lmao

This has been out for 11 hours and nobody shared it. That's a great sign!
