  1. I think it can even get some mainstream press as well. Might stick out from all those other Oscar contenders.
  2. It's a set in stone rule! Only exception is Taxi Driver, which doesn't count for some reason.
  3. Here's the source: http://variety.com/2016/film/asia/japan-animation-sensation-your-name-funimation-north-america-1201901838/ I still doubt that it's going to get an Oscar nom.
  4. I have a feeling that Toy Story 4 is going to have an awkward making of story. That rumor specified a "beloved series", btw.
  5. "Member when The Incredibles was in theaters?" "Uh, kinda..."
  6. I think it's going to end up around $350m. On par with the big PG animated blockbusters that came this year.
  7. What people? Fanboys on the internet? We're not talking about a Star Wars level phenomenon here.
  8. I'd guess so. It's just one guy, Justin Hurwitz writing the music, so I think they will not count the score as original.
  9. Why not? Especially when ticket prices will be a little higher two years from now.
  10. Interesting. I wonder if Toy Story 4 is in serious trouble, though.
  11. OK, but they are still interested in movies. If Wreck-It Ralph has a sequel confirmed, I don't see how Zootopia will not have one.
  12. Yay! The dubs for Akira suck, btw. Find the original Japanese trailer here: This is one of the few Japanese animated features to do voice acting before animation.
  13. The Chinese market can absolutely have a $300m/$400m animated movie, especially in the future. It wouldn't even break The Mermaid's record. I don't think Zootopia is a bad investment either, just going by ticket sales. You can say people forgot it, but it was an unknown before it debuted in March.
  14. Yep, I think that's what did it. Zootopia tapped into a genre popular with Chinese audiences, similar to the Kung Fu Panda movies.
  15. Whoops, sorry for not keeping up with that news. I don't thik that goodwill has anything to do with it, though. Otherwise Finding Dory would have done better.
  16. Under $50m or ¥340m is just the most likely result in China. The best way to predict a breakout in China is to see if it's had surprising results in any other country. BTW, it's probably going to be February when Moana reaches China.
  17. http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/envelope/cotown/la-et-ct-china-box-office-20161024-snap-story.html The Los Angeles Times did a piece on China's slowing movie industry. I'm actually skeptical that China's rabid box office growth will continue in the future.
