Hmmm.
Looks like the princess movies break out and the male centric stuff flops.
Now I'm concerned for Coco.

Haha, I didn't say he (and by proxy me) don't see them, just that they don't interest me. Also, for whatever strange reason, he doesn't want to see MOANA. Have no idea why.
He's in that "girl movies are yucky" phase. No worries, he'll grow out of it in a couple of years.

Anyone that has a problem with Megan Ellison or A24 is not a supporter of good film. Who gives a flying fuck on how or why she has her money, simply be happy that she is has it and is using it to advance some great films.

All the Idris Elba movies? Even the latest Star Trek?
Yeah. Beyond was awesome and might be my favorite of the Trek reboot trilogy, although it and '09 are kinda interchangeable and depend on what mood I'm in.

If I can join the tentpole argument, this season the only tentpoles I've really gotten a kick out of are Deadpool and all of the Idris Elba movies (well, except maybe Finding Dory, but I still really enjoyed it). The rest that I've seen thus far mainly fit into the "fun, but forgettable" category. But of course, I've never really had much interest in tentpole movies, even as a kid, minus a couple of franchises (Spider-Man, Potter, Pirates). When I got into high school, the only movies I cared about were the Oscarbaits, indies, and some of the cartoons, with only two or three big tentpoles grabbing my attention in a typical season.

Ugh, people:
the wizarding world brand has always been adolescent and adult targeted. That's something I've said over and over again. Yet people deflect my comments in favor of patronizing it and attempting to drag it back to the children's table.
The J.K. Rowling fantasy brand is quite strong and dark in its imagery and thematics and not child friendly. I could see younger audiences enjoying the creepy but charming initial first two films, but the series is not for children much beyond that. I don't think I've ever seen a more child unfriendly four quadrant IP than Potter, and that's not a bad thing.
Fantastic beasts is not at all what id call a kid friendly film. Despite some people's attempts to deflect this statement, the film is quite dark, intense, scary, and thematically heavy in ways that most blockbuster films from Star Wars, Marvel, even DC to an extent, aren't.
I've also always pointed out that Warner bros has hardly ever marketed this brand to children. There are no toys to speak of, or at least not many. Most of the merchandise for the film's have been adult oriented clothing and wallets and fashion accessories sold through hot topic, and TV Spots were only ever aired during The Walking Dead, American Horror Story, and the World Series baseball games.
The Wizarding World brand has more than proven that, with some exceptions, it serves more or less a darker, more adult palette than other franchises. But for some reason, people just get really angry when you mention this. Why? Like...
Hi dcasey. Almost forgot you were a thing.

Alright, with all of the craziness going on, here's my two cents:
I definitely feel that many of us overpredicted Fantastic Beasts, but to be fair, a lot of signs pointed towards it being huge. Presales seemed strong, Cursed Child was a huge hit, and it was supposed to kick off 4 other movies instead of 2, which showed that WB was super-confident with it.
And on its own, if the OW is above $70M, it's definitely a great number. It works as a good launchpad for a franchise, and if it gets around $750M WW, I'm certain WB would be happy. But again, this is supposed to start a 5-movie series, and I don't see something that might not even cross $200M as the perfect place to start. I'll gladly eat crow if there's some major increase for the sequel, or if it has crazy good legs, but I do feel there should be a hint of hesitance.
As for the whole Rogue One thing, I do feel Beasts is a good indicator for there being a potential big drop from what's expected. But that's just it: a potential big drop. Star Wars as of now is in a much better situation in terms of films, as this movie comes hot off the heels of the biggest domestic earner of all time, and this one promises to have a much bigger connection to the original series than Fantastic Beasts did. Juding off the trailers, Rogue One promises stormtroopers, AT-ATs, Vader, and the Death Star, all being key features of the original trilogy and film franchise as a whole. Fantastic Beasts has wands...a character from the book that wasn't in any of the movies...fantasy creatures...yeah, that's about it. But again, only time will tell, and quite frankly, I feel that if Rogue One is at least close to half of what TFA got domestically, I'd say Disney would be happy with that.
Also, to EmpireCity, if you want people to PM you about their grievances, why aren't you doing the same to other people?

I don't really remember Tele being that hyped for WW. For the Comic-Con trailer, he thought it looked solid, and for the second trailer, all he said was "I'm surprised you guys are so down on this". Doesn't scream super-hyped to me.

Was surprised Brie Larson had no lines in this trailer..again. Maybe they're saving a trailer based on her character and Kong.
Nah. They're saving the goods for the actual movie. WB knows Queen Brie will be amazing in this, so they want to take everyone by surprise. And thus, the Year of the Brie will start with everyone talking about her.

I'm shocked at how hard Fox is pushing this new "Untitled" series. 7 movies in one year will certainly cause some fatigue.
