  1. Does anyone rembwr Delgo? I had never heard of it, but apparently is had a budget of 40M, made 500K on OW at 200+ theatres, and only remained in theatres for a week...

    I've only seen two ads for it in my entire life. One time on TV, and the back ad for Nick Magazine. I believe the movie was in development hell for 10 or so years.

  2. I am looking forward to the box office for the rest of the year though. Apart from the weekend after Thankgiving it should be a fun end of the year

    Yeah, this fall easily makes up for one of the most boring summers in a long time. So many successes both critically and financially to count.

  3. Y'know, I'm mixed on the character designs, but I feel like the only one who enjoys the live-action sequences. I think they're just as funny as the animated segments. They both have the same wit and charm the series always had. Seems people only hate the live-action because "ZOMG CG DESTROY MOVIE!!!!1" Of course I'm the only person on the Internet who likes modern Spongebob (I know, I know), so probably take my words for a grain of salt.

  4. Wasn't WB planning on making a new Flintstones show with McFarlane? And he walked off the project when they asked him to make it more like his Fox comedies instead of like the original?

    I might have some facts crossed but I seem to recall that being the jist.

    Pretty much. Fox president at the time enjoyed the script, but didn't approve of it, but Seth didn't want to restart everything, so he abandoned the project. But I believe WAG is planning to make a Flintstones animated movie produced by Will Ferrel and Adam McKay. That sounds pretty cool. And I know WAG has other movies besides Lego, but I can't remember off the top of my head what they're called or what they're about.

  5. Why Would Relativity Media put The Best Of Me in October instead of putting it in February or April???? Big idea!!!!!!

    Because February and April were packed with major competition in both the romance genre and just movies in general? Big idea!!!!!!

     

    But as for your answer, in many ways, February and October have changed. February seems to be where animated movies made by smaller studios are released (Escape from Planet Earth, Lego Movie, Spongebob, Illumination's Pets project), along with romcoms and romdrams, with the occasional action movie here and there. October seems to be a lot of horror, a kids movie here and there, and plenty of adult dramas/Oscar bait. For the other months, April, and especially March, seem to be giving a bigger focus on summer blockbusters, while August could make studios put less movies in the June and July area, and January...will still be where the crap goes. With the Oscar season and limited movies rolling in nationwide, January will have the movies that the studios know are bad and won't turn a profit, but a slightly bigger push on MLK weekend. September will also be filled with movies not as bad as January, but ones that won't get a big push on the distributor's slate, with some exceptions. Now I'm fine with how the release calendar works for now, but any change is welcome!
