Moderation
@Firepower enough with this passive aggressive “of course the haters are in full force” nonsense. Do this again, and you are leaving me with no other choice but to give you a threadban.

I’ll eat crow on this one. Yeah the average rating is nothing special but with burton it was reasonable to expect yet another creative disaster, and clearly this isn’t that. Well done Tim, have a cookie.
Yep. Was admittedly disappointed that this was just another boring, safe bit of nostalgia slop, but I'll take a bland "greatest hits" sequel compared to what Burton put out the last decade. I just finished rewatching all his movies, and his run from Alice in Wonderland through Dumbo can honestly be a contender for worst run of 2010s movies for any filmmaker. Zemeckis at least has one or two bright spots in the last decade or so.

This looks positively dreadful. This will also make a zillion dollars.
Okay I might be wrong, because the gamer dudes that sometimes pop up on my Twitter feed, the people who always go nuts for these video game movies, aren’t buying what they are selling. 🤔

All I care about are the Gaga raves. This can be trash on a stick for all I care as long as people are praising my queen.

What the hell? Why did someone delete my post?
We can't talk about the critical reception of the previous film, while awaiting the critical reception of this one? I guess this forum isn't for me, if mods delete posts that have absolutely nothing controversial in them, with no explanations.
Well if you want an answer, I hid your post because we don’t do this “critics are out to get this movie” rhetoric, because it is conspiratorial and an easy starter for flame wars. You may think this isn’t controversial, but it 100% is. I’m just doing what I think is best for the forum. You may not like it, but it’s just how things are run. But if you’re really this passionate that your post must be seen, I decided to unhide your post. We will not allow this kind of rhetoric further, but I suppose I can let this one post slide. If you wish to discuss this further with me, my PMs are always open.

I mean my biggest issue with seeing Moana 2 reaching 600M is just how unprecedented that gross is, especially for animated films. We've only had two animated movies reach it, and both are Pixar films. And I feel like Pixar is a much stronger brand name in terms of bringing in adult audiences that aren't all that into Disney or animated movies in general. This is anecdotal, but my mom hasn't seen a movie from Disney Animation proper since Frozen came out, and she was super pumped for Inside Out 2, and saw Toy Story 4 the day it came out. My dad watches Monsters Inc or any of the Toy Story movies or Inside Out whenever they are on cable, and the last Disney Animation film he's seen is probably...I dunno, when he took me and my siblings to Lilo and Stitch?
I also feel like streaming performance isn't the end all be all? Like Cars sold more copies on DVD than The Incredibles, but their sequel performances are night and day. And even if Cars 2 was actually good, I can't picture 600M...or whatever the equivalent of 600M in 2011 money would be. I dunno. I feel like even 400M would be a crazy overperformance for Moana 2, and I hope people aren't crying if it doesn't even reach that.

I feel like it's an outdated mindset based in existential anxiety that doesn't really apply anymore. Streaming is basically the new direct to VHS, it's clearly not gonna kill the theatrical experience.
This movie's current predicament is the clearest illustration yet of just how complicated the reality is now. Still gonna be released in theaters, just not as many as before. Where do you draw the line, and is it even worth it anymore to attempt to draw it? I don't think it really is anymore.
I mean I agree with you. But like...I'm just a guy and the rest of the team came to a different consensus.
But yeah, we'll see if the staff and I can change things up.

They still say it'll get a limited run of a few hundred theaters, probably won't be reported though.
I reiterate that it'd be easier for everyone if we just combined all streaming and theatrical movies into one forum. The line is just gonna continue to blur from this point, and to be blunt some streaming movies are worthy of more attention than the current setup allows.
We actually had a subforum a la On the Lot that was here in the main forum a few years ago, but it was moved to the TV show subforum because...well, we're a box office forum and streaming is box office's biggest competitor at the moment.
However, I will bring this up with the staff and we'll see if we can take things back. You never know.
