    Among my generation, Elf and Home Alone both seem like very easy legacy sequels to make that would be a license to print 300m domestic between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Yes I know Home Alone has fake VHS sequels but I mean with Macauley and Kieran and hopefully not Donald Trump. Again, I hope none of these things happen and we continue to invest money in original movies and create new memories and franchises, but I'm genuinely mind blown we haven't gotten an Elf sequel yet. Original is thermonuclear levels of iconic among people my age and a few years younger, and it seems like a very easy sequel to get people on board for except apparently the director and star.

    Apparently both Will Ferrell and Jon Favreau did not get along with one another, which is why a sequel never got made. That's a little surprising. You can say what you will about Favreau's movies or whatever, but he seems like a cool, chill dude. I'm assuming Ferrell's a cool, chill dude, since I never heard anything bad about him.

    Hopefully that never happens because both Burton and Selick have gone on record saying they have no interest in a sequel

    Actually, last I checked, Henry Selick stated that he wants to do a sequel, but Burton's the one who is against it, and has basically vetoed any chance for that to ever happen. Though granted I think the big difference is that Henry probably wants that nostalgia money and Tim's too rich for that crap.

    A Nightmare Before Christmas sequel would open to 150m+. Not kidding. I'd say it was probably second behind the Lion King in terms of 90s kids favorite movies. To be clear, I hope this movie doesn't happen.

    Well picture this...how about...we remake it...in live-action...but Jack...is...well...I think you know who I want to be cast.

    Given the extremely high percentage (73%) of females over 25, does that still point to it being all Ortega? I know I ton of women 30 to 45 years old simply love Beetlejuice because it's Beetlejuice. Ortega is absolutely a huge piece here but that is interesting. Or, do we thing the 73% of females over 25 are going mostly for Ortega?

    I thought Burton's stuff was mainly a guy/gender-neutral thing, but I was schooled recently that Burton's big with the ladies. Which in hindsight makes sense. Pretty much all my friends who have Nightmare Before Christmas as their whole personality are women.

    I find it funny Beetlejuice is considered a "cult classic" because it was still popular at the time.  It was the 10th highest grossing US movie in 1988.  I know ABC Family/Freeform's Halloween marathons helped boost the attention over the years, but it would be like if 'Us' or 'Sound of Freedom' or 'Interstellar' were deemed cult classic movies in 40 years if they grew in popularity.

    Apparently Titanic is a cult classic. People will throw that term around for anything.

    I think the extemely close proximity to Endgame killed that, especially internationally.

    I think I've said it before, but Detective Pikachu came out at the worst possible year competition-wise. No matter where you put it on the schedule that summer, it would have been overshadowed by Endgame, by Toy Story, by Spider-Man, by Lion King, and so on. Even in the springtime, it would have been overshadowed by Captain Marvel and/or the build-up to Endgame. Even the holidays were a bad time with Frozen/Jumanji/Star Wars. If Pikachu came out in July 2018 or something, it would have at the very least made close to Lego Movie numbers IMO, at least domestically.

    What is this film opening against Speak No Evil?

     

    Another dodgy Angels film? Everything they’ve done since SOF has flopped. 

    It's a documentary by Matt Walsh. If you don't know who that is...I wish I was you. One look at his Wikipedia page tells you everything you need to know about that evil, despicable man.

    Skimming through the reviews...many say Gaga is very good but underused and her character is cast to the sidelines outside of the musical pieces. 

     

    I'm really disappointed. 

    Literally the only reason I wanted to watch this was for Gaga. Hearing her being wasted and underutilized just makes me wonder what was the point of all this?
