Wrath replied to Alli's topic in Numbers and Data
Im probably in the minority on this, but I liked Storks better than Lego Batman as well (though I did like Lego Batman in a B/B+ kinda way). edit - I did think Dory was pretty mediocre, though.- 542 replies

Weekend Estimates: Lego Batman 55.6M, 50 Shades 46.7M, John Wick 2 30M

The marketing push is key. Book of Life was terrific but Fox didn't push the marketing and it flopped. Disney won't let that happen. -

Heh, I'd say so. When your *4th* weekend's take is equal to your production budget, things are going well. -

I feel like all the people complaining about the villains are missing the point. This story is being told by a kid, just like Lego movie was. Yes, its a Batman movie, but one told by a 10 year old not a Batman expert. As a result you're going to get a lot of cross-overs because thats how the kid is going to tell the story. The first movie handled this really well, while this one really didn't.

Weekend Estimates: Lego Batman 55.6M, 50 Shades 46.7M, John Wick 2 30M
Wrath replied to YM!'s topic in Numbers and Data
The problem is that the movie isnt great. Its good, and argually very good, but its not great. As others have noted, Chris Pratt as Emmett was a better lead than Arnett as Batman. Id add that I thought the pacing was off in a few places (especially the beginning) and I thought part of what elevated the first one to great was dual-plots between the Lego world and the real world. Both were poignaint. Lego Batman was also clearly taking place in the same universe (city built over bottomless pit to the void, etc) but there was no cross-over. Which was fine, it didnt detract, but it was a situation the first one used to raise the stakes with parts of the audience (every dad got hit in the feels when Ferrell realizes his son has made him the bad guy in his story). -
Top 10 OW: Obviously not set in stone quite yet, but I'm guessing: 1. Rogue One - 155M 2. Dr Strange - 85M 3. Fantastic Beasts - 74M 4. Moana - 57M 5. Lego Batman - 56M 6. Trolls - 47M 7. Fifty Shades - 42M And it looks like Glassfairy may be the one and only person to go 7/7 on these. Thanks, Trolls.
