  1. It always helps a family film's staying power if future family films flop (Turbo/Smurfs 2) -- because there is better chance that those films will take the hit from a film like planes rather than DM2.
  2. Internet fanboys, sure, but the broad GA would probably hold these films in comparable liking.
  3. Hop shouldn't count. That wasn't run through Illumination's main animation studio (Mac Guff).
  4. DM - 250M Lorax - 214M DM2 - 300M+ Doesn't compare at all? This has been the best start for an animation brand since Pixar TS, BL, TS2
  5. My point being that critics were a result, not a cause of intense pixar fandom.
  6. I object to the notion that critics played a significant role in giving Pixar their high cred. Their cred was built on their early movies, TS2, MI, FN and TI, plain and simple **(the point in time where they started putting them out consistently)
  7. I object to internet posters and/or critics being called their "die-hard" fans. These movies are made for the parents who bring their multiple children to the theatre. Not the YA (mostly) who latched on a long time ago and believe that their connection to the internet makes them superior fans to the broader GA. MU was the most perfect movie they've made since TS3, it erased the obvious production flaws of the past two films. Why are people still complaining?
  8. http://video.disney.com/watch/disneychannel-no-service-4df889ed3d82b43c9c01a272 new mickey mouse cartoons are awesome
  9. Got back from 8PM WWZ -- probably 85% full, but when we bought tickets at about 7:20 --- virtually all of the MU showtimes at our theatre were sold out for the non-3D showings.
  10. That will never work. So many people would not go to the films. The ones that bomb, would probably bomb harder.
  11. Yes. That was stupid too. Now all the bigger studios are going to fill up dates 5-10 years in advance because of certain franchises or animation studios.
  12. This is stupid (not the thread, the company announcing dates 5 years in advance)
  13. That number for Epic would be fantastic for it. 2M? Couldn't that equal a sub 20% drop this weekend?
  14. With that drop it seems almost guaranteed at this point that Epic will be the lowest grossing BS film to date, right?
  15. Yes, is it also the 3rd animated film to even open on memorial day weekend over the past 15 years?
  16. The other Avengers effect is in full force. Fist it struck down STiD, and now TH3. Bring on Epic and Fast 6.
  17. Why is everyone assuming this is going to eat dirt? Everyone I hear from loves this thing to death. WOM is as good as the 1st film. It's broad appeal just isn't on part with something like IM.
