  1. Also, this will be wack with no Diablo Cody. The Reitman-Cody productions were the best out of all of his movies. (Tully is sooooooooooo good, and America's trash for not seeing it)
  2. You know me so well. Also, wasn't there supposed to be an animated Ghostbusters movie a while back? Guess that got scrapped.
  3. The thing to remember is that Sonic the Hedgehog is expected by most people to open to more than Avatar's entire run, so it could still see a bit of a dent.
  4. It should be mentioned that Netflix is making a MJ biopic...only it's stop-motion and from the perspective of Bubbles. But again, if this is solid, I think a MJ biopic would be fine quality and box office wise. https://deadline.com/2017/05/bubbles-michael-jackson-chimpanzee-movie-netflix-cannes-film-festival-1202096715/ Frank Sinatra could also do decent, but the Sinatra estate hated Scorsese's treatment that focused on his Mafia ties, so that probably won't happen any time soon. I'd also argue a Whitney Houston movie would do well too. Iconic musician, interesting backstory, well-liked figure, compelling story.
  5. Hard to know, considering we don't have many examples of movies with preview screenings. The Amazon movies (Jumanji, HT3, AQM) were Atom Tickets exclusive, while Spider-Verse did nothing to differentiate itself from regular showings and preview showings. The only good comp we have is Bumblebee. My dumbass didn't separate the preview screenings from the regular shows, but I remember them not selling a whole lot, or at least nowhere near as much as Dragon. Of course, those were in only a couple hundred, while this is in 1,000. So again, very hard to figure out. But it seems pretty solid either way. HT3 did around $1.3M for its Amazon previews, and I think that's a good benchmark for Dragon.
  6. DO NOT QUOTE Glass 3,106 Glass' Monday is: 143% of Quiet Place's: 71.6M 471% of Hereditary's: 64M 219% of Equalizer 2's: 76.6M 202% of The Meg's: 91.6M 149% of The Nun's: 80.3M 240% of The Predator's: 59.1M 23% of Venom's: 18.3M 32% of Halloween's: 24.7M 200% of Bumblebee's: 43.3M (Xmas movie) The Halloween comp gives me pause, but this is still looking mad impressive. Dragon 3 Early 6,957 Captain Marvel 1,118
  7. Wouldn't there also be a lot of months with nothing but dance rehearsals and choroegraphy practice that could extend filming? Still, I think it would also be a bad idea to have it out in time for Cats, even as a qualifying release. Maybe both can co-exist, and I'm probably overestimating Cats' appeal, but having two major Broadway musical adaptations out around the same time seems like a bad idea for both movies.
  8. Filming is supposed to start in the summer, so I don't think it'll make this year. With In the Heights next year, 2020 will be the Year of Latinx Musicals
  9. Shoulda gone with Chalabae instead. He's a year younger than Ansel, and he has singing experience. (Gimme that "Not Cool" reaction Coolio. I know you want to)
  10. https://www.fandango.com/fandango-early-access-how-to-train-your-dragon-the-hidden-world-216542/movie-overview Fandango has preview screenings on February 2. I might just take advantage of this.
