Eric the Minion

Yes...but it is still a failure. For comparision's sake: Beautiful Creatures: $58.9M WW gross on an $85M budget (This includes P&A for all the films listed) Mortal Instruments: $82M WW gross on a $90M budget Legend of Oz: $8.3M WW gross on an $85M budget Free Birds: $101.9M WW gross on a $92M budget 21 and Over: $45.9M WW gross on a $35M budget AMWTDITW: $50.2M WW gross on a $75M budget Now I know what you're thinking: "But Free Birds and 21 and Over broke even!" It looks like that...however, studios and distributors only get half of the money earned in the box office. So, if you do the math: Money Lost for:Beatiful Creatures: $55.6M Mortal Instruments: $49M Legend of Oz: $80.9M Free Birds: $41M 21 and Over: $12.1M A Million Ways to Die in the West: $49.9M So, yeah, a lot of money can be lost for the studio, even if it isn't $180M budget.

Yeah they always succeed. Except for Beautiful Creatures, Mortal Instruments, Legends of Oz, Free Birds, 21 and Over, A Million Ways to Die in the West, and countless others. All big hits.

Anything else in the entire world>Sports

I guess maybe Pan. Even then, Minions will probably overshadow it in terms of the family audience.

Well, that's art altogether. What is considered lowbrow trash to one is something another person holds near and dear. And that's such an awesome thing altogether.

Alright, NOW I'll be going to bed. Hopefully I'll see you guys tomorrow

I'm not even in college.

I think this baby talk means it's time for me to go to bed.

I just love how Disney thought Pocahontas was going to be their next Aladdin, and Lion King wasn't that important to them. Heh.

I was more of a Spongebob movie guy myself.

Might as well give my opinion on Frozen; it's good. However, I don't really agree with a lot of the praise. People claim it better than The Lion King and Beauty and the Beast, but I just don't see it. Now, there are a lot of impressive things in the movie: I like the sisters, their personalities, and their relationship; it's genuine, it's adorable, and as someone who has two younger sisters, I always do appreciate a movie that has well-written female protagonists. Olaf is funny (most of the time), as well as there being good laughs from the other characters. And the songs are great...okay, maybe two or three of them. And the animation is fantastic too. However, in comparison with other movies, such as Tangled, I prefer it more. Tangled had better characters, a more entertaining villain, a better flowing narrative, and just had better romantic chemistry. And while Tangled had two really great songs, and two others that were just okay, Frozen had only Let it Go, DYWTBAS, and FtFTiF as the highlights; Love is an Open Door was cute, Frozen Heart was forgettable, and the Olaf and troll songs were just obnoxious and terrible to listen to. But that's just my thoughts, so maybe I'm just an idiot who has no good taste, I dunno.

I overestimated. I honestly thought the movie would get over $100M. Now, it seems TF4 will be the only likely candidate, unless TFIOS pulls a rabbit out.

I know that feeling. I want to read every page, but I can't do it; ain't nobody got time for that.

I don't see that happening. We still have X-Men, Transformers, and Guardians and Ninja Turtles as possiblities.

Nic Cage...as Nic Cage.

What's a cold launch?

Howard the Duck vs. Thanos

Oh. Sorry about my stupidity. But that is true now that you mention it. In the comedy world, Rogen is one of the highest in the chain. I think the only one who rivals him is Kevin Hart now, since he became the biggest black comedian since Chappele.

This is the End and Neighbors were big hits, but Rogen was in many bombs/disapointments before that. The Guilt Trip, 50/50, Paul, Funny People.

I do like how this thread has the most random shit in it. It helps pass the time waiting for both the weekend box office, and, as a TV ratings/schedule buff, NBC's fall schedule.

Even better, Fox gives up the rights to X-Men and Fantastic Four. With that, Disney has a beyond epic crossover with Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy, Spidey, X-Men, Fantastic Four, and any other characters they bring to the big screen (Dr. Strange, Black Panther) to fight together in an epic 3+ hour movie.

I just realized something: the TV show The Neighbors just got canceled on the same day Neighbors came out. Ironic. Also, Spider-Man's doing worse than I thought. Could it be below $200M? And will Sony just continue to go on with two more sequels which will likely do worse box-office and that spinoff with Sinister Six?

You haven't seen Foodfight!
