I think people mostly associate DreamWorks animation movies with Shrek. Maybe also Madagascar and Kung Fu Panda.
DreamWorks used to be the studio people assumed all non-Disney animation was made from. Like people might think Ice Age was DreamWorks, when it wasn't

Uncut Gems helped inspire Inside Out 2

INSIDE OUT 2 IS THE FIRST PIXAR MOVIE WITH A MOSTLY FEMALE STORY TEAM
that's part of the same article.
Some people are confused because they thought Turning Red had an all female story team, but what it actually had was all female leadership.

probably because Turning Red is based on the writer/director's own teenage girlhood?
well yeah that's the point. Domee Shi even said on the original Inside Out, where she was a story artist, she was happy that "being a teenage girl" was one thing she was an expert in.

This seems to be the actual source of this information. Dunno what it says that they needed teenage girl consultants when they didn't need them for Turning Red.

QuoteThe film and TV industry is now controlled by only four major companies, and it is shot through with incentives to devalue the actual production of film and television. What is to be done? The most direct solution would be government intervention. If it wanted to, a presidential administration could enforce existing antitrust law, break up the conglomerates, and begin to pull entertainment companies loose from asset-management firms. It could regulate the use of financial tools, as deWaard has suggested; it could rein in private equity. The government could also increase competition directly by funding more public film and television. It could establish a universal basic income for artists and writers.
None of this is likely to happen.
This is an interesting article, though it could be said that what the writer calls the death of Hollywood is the death of a lucrative writing career.

Is this a Mission Impossible spin off cartoon? Or a bootleg poster?
It's a parody of the Mission Impossible poster with characters from an anime.

Yes. Comes out after the sequel

July needs Twisters, Despicable Me or Deadpool to be massive.
What do you mean by massive? I don't think any of them are making over $400m Dom.

Garfield is the real wild card. Right now I’m feeling it’ll be like the Angry Birds movie back in 2016 where it gets overshadowed by the way bigger animated movie competition later that summer, but still gets a respectable 125+. But it could also do Wonka numbers and it wouldn’t surprise me.
I'm thinking more that $125m is the tops for Garfield and it could go under $100m Dom. 🤷♂️

I think there's a Garfield audience.
I'm kind of low on Garfield, but maybe it can reach a Migration total.

So I think this is getting at least 2 weeks of IMAX/PLF, right? June seems pretty sparse.

This could be at the bar of other Pixar sequels, where they are seen as worse than the originals but still get positive reviews…
At least, worse from the perspective of fans.
Yeah that's the trend. Monsters University, Finding Dory, Incredibles 2... all have positive reviews but not as high as the original. Don't know why people think Inside Out 2 would be different.

Hmm so this did about 3X the OD of the Pixar releases. Dunno what people expected though.

honestly even compared to rounding everyone up to drive to a dollar theater it probably has more appeal.
Do Dollar theaters even still exist? There was once a $2.50 ticket movie theater near me but it closed. I think the whole rush to streaming killed a lot of them.

$3.5m previews is great.
$21m would be franchise frontloaded though. Is there something here that’s likely to cause front loading?
I'd guess not. In any case, $25 OW would be absolutely amazing for Civil War. It could even be profitable from ticket sales alone, which I don't think anyone thought would happen.

Remember when the first Moana opened and people were arguing whether it was a success or not just because it wasn't as big as Frozen?
Wish came out and now we realize Moana was Avatar level compared to Wish floppage.
I don't really remember that but Disney's pre covid successes did spoil us in a way

At a certain point the theatrical industry will need to figure out how to adapt to "massive disruptions". Can't just rely on the world being perfect for the next year. That isn't as much an issue for Disney themselves though since their investments are heavily diversified and new movies are just a small part of it.
Well the pandemic was kind of a once every 100 years thing. I don't think there will be another disruption like that soon.

Umm, no one would accuse Pocahontas of being a 'great movie'. In fact, it was a horrifically dumb, racist and boring movie that put the brakes on the Renaissance revolution pretty badly. Audiences gave it a fair shot before discovering it was poop. Unfortunately for hand drawn films, the far superior Toy Story happened in the same year which led to people subconsciously assuming CGI was an evolved medium. But a much stronger film than Pocahontas would have put up a better fight for 2D films.
Not my point at all. Do you think Pocahontas was intentionally bad? I mean there was the story that The Lion King was seen as the lesser project at Disney at the time. My point is not every movie can be great

They're definitely not ignoring their creative struggles promoting the searchlight head to live action, will just have to wait for what fruit that move bears.
WDA and Pixar did try to "make good movies" for a bit and got hit by a combo of bad luck and audience rejection. I don't blame them for pivoting to emphasis on sequels now but I still prefer we got those 9 original films from them since 2020 than not.
I'm thinking more that the "make good movies" strategy is like the "just win every election" strategy for political parties. Untenable to have them all be winners.
