I think it should lean towards cheap Sure AMC used its investor money to install laser projectors and recliners in their theaters but I don't think it's doing it, quite. And the investor money is dried up now. -
OK so how do moviemakers combat people distractedly watching their movies?
-
To be honest I'm more worried about the exhibitors than the makers of the movies. I don't watch most movies but I do appreciate the opportunity to see anything in a cinema. But I don't know if many of the theaters can stay open...
-
I guess since Luca is finally in theaters I can re-up this rudimentary analysis I did a while back: tl:Dr I think Soul, Luca, and Turning Red would make $500 WW each based on how they performed in the few markets they could back in the day.
-
yeah all three of the movies are getting or already have released in many places around the world. I don't think they're doing much business though. I saw Turning Red in Japan barely chart at all.
-
I only just recently listened to Billie Eilish's Barbie song "What Was I Made For?" and I really liked it.
-
oh sure sure, yeah those movies would have done a lot better 10 years ago. Still we have the big budget cartoons which while they might have taken a hit, still can sell tickets.
-
I mean I agree but I don't know what exactly this is in response to.
-
Maybe with higher OW. Elemental's multiplier is exceptional.
-
well yeah but also we're nerds.
-
I was kind of concerned Luca would have done even worse this weekend seeing as Kung Fu Panda 4 was competition but apparently the Soul and TR level of performance is the floor.
-
I think it's going to be more like $175m. Based on how this weekend will end and the multiplier going forward. 🤷♂️
-
yeah it's impossible to judge the movie based on OW because COVID news was ramping up even then.
-
That's a fine opinion to have but I think it's a little interesting how the narrative of "screwed over Pixar movies" generally overlooks Onward. I ultimately think in a non-COVID world Onward, Luca, and Turning Red would be in the $200 m Dom area. Dunno about Soul though. I've heard takes that Soul would have been another Inside Out and I really don't know about that... Also in real life Luca and TR could have been successes.
-
You mean anything sub 90% isn't amazing. 🤔 I mean Brave and Cars made bank though. And WDAS Wreck-It Ralph also did.
-
Onward was screwed too but no one cares about Onward.
-
Someone in the tracking thread thought it was going to do 3x this just based on a survey of... one theater I think? But this result doesn't surprise me. mainly because we already knew what Soul and TR did.
-
Luca and Turning Red could have been released in theaters even in the COVID reality. Soul was pretty screwed though.
-
In fact, $200 million is indeed a consistent figure for Pixar as @AniNate said. Been the approximate budget since 2010's Toy Story 3. Hasn't been exceeded since then, except for possibly Coco? Which has a budget range of $175m-$225m.
-
Also Pixar hired a lot more people since 2003 and 2004...
-
I think that downgrading Pixar's animation quality will be pretty disastrous. That's part of the reason why people see them in the first place. And the writing and story, I guess.
-
Don't know if this is worth anything but I did see a post on this site saying Steve Jobs made a shrewd contract with Disney when Pixar was acquired. Which might forestall outsourcing.
-
Well the good? news for us is that there are no announced sequels other than Toy Story 5. And they don't seem to be doing mass outsourcing either. So it seems like they're not taking BOT's advice. Though I do want to ask, what gross "justifies" a $200 million budget? $600 million? $800 million? A billion?
-
I genuinely don't want any sequels for the next 10 years. Or maybe ever.

The Box Office Buzz, Tracking, and Pre-Sale Thread
cannastop replied to Shawn Robbins's topic in Box Office Discussion
Wait, Luca is supposed to make $450k this Friday? When Soul made $121,631 on its first Friday and Turning Red made $160,433? Basically almost 3 times as much as those movies? Just find that hard to believe. But we'll find out on Saturday I guess. EDIT: However, Luca tickets on OW seem to be $5 across the board unlike Soul and Turning Red's OW tickets being full price...
