Weekend Prediction thread 9/20-9/22 Play the Derby

Civil War: $225 million opening weekend -
I think Martin Scorsese's Silence has a shot of taking this trophy. Liam Neeson could win best supporting actor, he's overdue.

If Stephen Chow directed Batman vs Superman, I wonder how much it'll gross in China lol. His name alone can fill theaters anywhere in China. Marvel is probably thinking about it: introduce a Chinese superhero into the MCU and have Stephen Chow direct it. The popularity of the MCU and Stephen Chow together in China would equal box office orgasm.

ZOOTOPIA | 682.5 M overseas ● 1023.8 M worldwide
movieboner replied to kayumanggi's topic in International Box Office
I saw the film 2 1/2 years ago in December, so my memory of the film is a bit fuzzy. All I can remember is a princess falls in love, the many sing alongs, comic relief supporting characters like the reindeer and snowman, and a generic good defeats evil story= a generic Disney princess movie. I have no intention of seeing Frozen again when I can enjoy "better" animated flicks with popcorn like Inside Out, Zootopia, Big Hero 6, Wreck-it Ralph and Despicable me 1 & 2. -
Here's my top 10 for 2015 in no order: 1. Inside Out 2. Mad Max Fury Road 3. The Martian 4. Mission Impossible Rogue Nation 5. The Revenant 6. Ex-Machina 7. Star Wars: The Force Awakens 8. The Big Short 9. Sicario 10. Spotlight

No, I'm talking about the relationship between Kristoff and Anna. She's nobility and he's a peasant, so they wouldn't be allowed together. -

It follows the same generic formula: forbidden love story and a lousy sing along. The film's plot at times resembles Beauty and the Beast, Sleeping Beauty and Snow White. The only difference is Frozen cashed in on its popular song "Let It Go" and had better marketing like a McDonald's commercial. It's the "new business strategy" for Disney to maximize profits from a movie. -

I think Disney picked a good release date for Zootopia, where there is less competition. Bad release dates for SW7 and KFP 3, notable big hits were released shortly afterwards and attracted moviegoers from SW7 AND KFP 3. -
You have to look at the entire filmography of WDA vs Pixar. WDA is better in my opinion, Pixar only surpassed WDA in the 2000s and made a steady decline in the early 2010s. During the 90s and early 2010s, WDA made better animated films. 1990s WDA: Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King, Hercules, Aladdin, Mulan, Pocahontas, Dinosaurs, Tarzan, Fantasia 2000 Pixar: A Bug's life, Toy Story, Toy Story 2 Early 2010s WDA: Tangled, Zootopia, Big Hero 6, Frozen, Wreck-it Ralph, Winnie the Pooh Pixar: Monster's University, Cars 2, Brave, The Good Dinosaur, Inside Out, Toy Story 3
