"We need to show the true complex character of the racists in this movie."
Seriously? Wow, I love how tone deaf some people can be.
Motivations don't matter, actions do.
It's things like that that really make me hate Disney. They have way too much influence w/their monopoly from the animated film industry. They keep pushing back copyright terms b/c they don't want Mickey Mouse on the public domain
Saw the trailer a couple of days ago, it's gonna be a real tearjerker. I would give it Marley and Me numbers, but there's not much star power in the film. DOM $110m I suppose
I probably won't see it though, seems so cliche and sappy
True. Looking at BOM, Frozen was the biggest animated musical since The Lion King. I would say the cultural impact was roughly similar.
You can't replicate that success at will. It was catching lightning in a bottle
But would they really see a movie based off it? I feel like this movie was more geared towards American audiences that listen to pop. Those are the vibes I got from the trailers when people were singing in their cars and shit.
Well all the songs were from the Anglosphere, so I would say Sing is more Anglo-centric if anything. I don't know how foreigners really feel about singing competitions, but that should be the main factor in the OS BO
They have to expand their markets outside of big city, secular liberals. Makes sense that now they're going to the Heartland
Also, I love how the article refers to them as "flyover audiences."
Yep, that's basically what the article said
I thought that movie was gonna knock it out of the park (even though I didn't want it to, cuz Disney). It doesn't have that much of a hook, based off my feelings from the trailer
