  1. The Addams Family does too (although I don’t think I’d ever care about scheduling against a UA release).
  2. This abomination is still trending #1 on Twitter 8 hours after the trailer dropped... I’ll say this, they’ve got the awareness part down 😂
  3. I don't think this means anything for its future date... the films that are most likely to move into the massive hole this move would create (In the Heights or Scoob) are still filming right now. They're not going to shuffle dates without knowing that the new film will be ready at the earlier release date.
  4. It'll show up in the Top 5 tonight... in that slice above it's already at #4 over Pikachu if you combine its standard, IMAX and 3D showings. Just need to wait for the 24 hour to roll over.
  5. Journey: $275k Purpose: $455k Way Home: $535k If it's in line with Purpose (same distributor, direct sequel), it projects to $11M. If it follows Way Home, it's headed for like $5.75M. Either way, the previews are a bit ruff.
  6. They could've done more with it though. No idea why they shot Genie straight on for most of that clip. The original animation darts all over the damn place during this song which makes it feel more lively. They could've achieved a similar effect here with quick cuts and costume changes (even without the Robin Williams voice impressions). Instead, they did it once when he's riding the ostrich and half of the shot is bland.
  7. I just don't understand the point of throwing a comedy with really good reviews directly into the Endgame black hole... Uglydolls belonged in this spot, this didn't.
  8. I don't know how much closure we can get from a pulled release date with no new date being set (especially given the Disney/Fox uncertainty) but at least we don't have to look at it on the May calendar anymore!
  9. It's so hard to sort out the fact from the fiction with these tweets because they're so over the top. The only thing I believe is negative feedback because if the people slobbering over literally everything can't get behind a movie, hoo boy...
  10. It’ll come out for Awards Season 2019 which is where it should be in the first place. The May date is kind of a strange place for it to begin with.
  11. As a parent who can barely stomach the show, I can’t even fathom paying money to see it in theaters for over an hour...
  12. Frozen 2 is going to be huge. The cult following that movie has is ridiculous. I’m not worried about that one at all.
  13. Diluting the brand is damaging the brand though, especially when it's done with an inferior product. I think they over-estimated the demand for all things Lego when really, it was more about the novelty and quality of the original.
  14. Agreed. Their worst decision was putting out Ninjago... a poorly reviewed movie from a niche Lego line that skews heavily towards one demographic. Talk about a way to water down a brand...
  15. If it keeps this pace up, it'll clear $100M. It's outpacing The Bucket List by $5.5M (more if you exclude the $1.4M from limited release) and has shown better holds. Pretty crazy for STX. Only question is if it can keep holding well once this barren part of the schedule is over after this weekend.
  16. Nah, it's one of those weird Funimation releases. Not a ton of showtimes, skips days at some places and they're usually only around for two weeks. Although, if there ends up being enough demand from people who get convinced to watch or who want to see it again (WoM is off the charts among DBZ fans) maybe they'll adjust and have it stick around for longer. Going to be absurdly front-loaded most likely but this is still a massive opening for it.
  17. Paramount is a dumpster fire. Probably unrealistic to expect them to be on top of things until they get their shit together.
  18. Families who want to see something wholesome over the holidays/early winter that appeals to all quadrants. There's nothing else that really fits the bill this year. You're looking at pretty much the same group that came out to see The Greatest Showman last year. TGS wasn't about it being an inaccurate historical-fiction flick about P.T. Barnum and his freak show with mediocre reviews. People who thought that totally missed its success because it sounded crappy on the surface. It was about it being a feel-good, family friendly movie with catchy songs and entertaining dancing. Mary Poppins can pull in that same crowd on a much larger scale for the exact same reasons as well as some additional benefits like the known IP, cast, and Disney's backing. The songs will have to be top notch but if it's all done well, this will absolutely explode.
  19. I don't know that I'd judge First Man solely based on presales... I feel like a lot of the target audience is of the walk-up variety.
