I guess Hollywood runs on sugar, spice, and everything nice.
Well…yeah. It does. It’s like any other workplace. If you’re likable and great to work with, you’ll get more opportunities. If you’re a pain in the butt, nobody will want to hire you. Hollywood and entertainment is a bit more lenient if you have “star power”. But even then, if you have an attitude problem or are tough to work with, you’re gonna suffer once you get a few bombs under you. There’s a reason why Chevy Chase, Marlon Brando, Johnny Depp, Mike Myers, Tim Allen, etc. saw big career declines despite massive success prior, and never returned to their peak.
Plus it’s not like any of the Hemsbombs failed because of Hemsworth specifically, nor does it mean he can’t turn things around with the right project. And he’ll get these chances since he has the right talent and work ethic and attitude.

I tend to agree. Im a huge LOTR fan and also a huge anime/animation fan, but this one just doesnt feel right to me. The animation style they chose feels off and i dont really see the point of this movies existence.
I mean no movie technically has a reason to exist.

Huge groan when the trailer came on at Beetlejuice. People were excited until they realized it was animated.
Literally, the ENTIRE theater.
Such a weird marketing strategy. You're gonna remind us of the thing we like, making us think we're getting a sequel to the thing we know, only to show us something that looks literally nothing like it. Like imagine if the first trailer for Spider-Verse came out, they were showing off footage from the Maguire movies or even Homecoming, and then you cut to a cartoon thing that has nothing to do with it. You can't help but feel catfished.

Honestly I thought the Transformers animation looked pretty good. Both when the trailers dropped and within the movie itself. Nothing groundbreaking or anything, and maybe they should have copied the Spider-Verse style people love so much, but it was certainly theater-worthy IMO. Like have you seen Transformers CGI on a TV budget? This came out like a year ago.

Your point sort of stands but The Wild Robot isn’t original, it’s based off a popular book series like The Bad Guys. And Garfield is an IP film as well. Original is Wish, Encanto, Migration, Elemental, etc.
If you just mean “non-sequel animated film” then yeah, Elemental is the only to break 300M WW in years. But even though The Wild Robot isn’t original or a sequel I think it can break 300M.
SpoilerCan we at least agree it's not an NTC? 👀

So Transformers One is basically LEGO Ninjago adjusted for inflation. Cool.
Now let’s see Wild Robot be another Home for Dreamworks.
Nah. Let it be another How to Train Your Dragon. We're in a position where there are now two Chris Sanders Dreamworks movies opening at the end of a month, and releasing just a couple weeks after a record-breaking Tim Burton movie. Wouldn't it be funny if it went like Mr. Lucas once said? Where it's like poetry? It rhymes?

That Australia opening is quite impressive. It's double Trolls 3 and Elemental, and only 200K less than Kung Fu Panda 4. Australia typically correlates well with the US, so maybe it really is going to turn out fine after all. Good on it.

I honestly completely get being cynical about it (even I can be a few times), but at the end of the day, I do believe that most of our cynicism/frustration should go towards the studios and what they greenlight and not the actual films themselves.
Heck, I would even point to the audience sometimes. I can't be upset or cynical at Universal for spending tentpole money to market a star-driven action comedy like The Fall Guy, but I can absolutely be cynical at the audience who say that these are the types of movies they want, but then never show up when Hollywood does make them.
Oh believe me, I'm #1 in blaming audiences for the cynical way I'm seeing things. They always claim they want originality and something new, but they always return to old favorites. People are just fake fr

100% with this
I understand being cynical about Hollywood making nothing but sequels, remakes, reboots of popular IP and it dominating most of what people see in the theater, but labeling every single IP film (legacy sequel or not) as a nostalgic toy commercial is (at least for me) just poor choice of words. Beyond the fact that not every film with a nostalgic connection works (Jem and the Holograms anyone?), it feels more like a label used to put down a film that (regardless of it being nostalgic) can be really damn good.
There are plenty of great sequels and legacy sequels out there that both audiences and critics enjoy. Of course there are bad ones, but I'm legitimately getting tired of people saying that legacy sequels are explicitly nostalgia and have literally nothing else to offer beyond that. Not only that, but even saying "toy commercial" doesn't make sense for some legacy sequels. Would that mean Top Gun: Maverick is a NTC?
I don't want to derail the thread, but I really wanted to say this for a while as someone who is willing to give all kinds of film a chance whether they be something like The Substance (which I'll be seeing in about an hour) or Beetlejuice Beetlejuice and could care less if one is a legacy sequel or not. I just want a good movie and that's enough for me.
I mean there are plenty of NTCs or legacy sequels or whatever I like and enjoy. I just wish they weren't the only movies making money. When 80% of every movie that's a hit consists of these kinds of franchise extensions and little for originality or movies that are designed to be one and dones? I mean...even though I like a good chunk of these movies, it's hard not to be a little miffed or cynical about it. idk idk idk 🤷♂️

Guys, Baumer's right. Nostalgia slop is the only thing that sells. If people see a Transformers movie with all the old cast members, they'd eat it up like piggies. I know we like to deny this reality, but the masses are like robots. They see things from their childhood, they move, no questions asked. It's as cynical as that.
