Pinocchio getting all the way to #19 I didn't expect
Mulan at #18 I did not expect.

Netflix deserves a lot of the blame for this with their infiltration of the kids entertainment market coupled with their pathological aversion to movie theaters. Orion and the Dark could've been a solid enough family holdover releasing in early February. Also mind-bogglingly idiotic unforced error on Neon's part not taking advantage of Robot Dreams' Oscar buzz.
March had been looking pretty stacked a year ago, sadly both Elio and Spiderverse flew the coop. January does look like it'll have more going for it next year though with Paddington and Dogman.
Netflix is Netflix. The blame is primarily on Disney. Yes there was a pandemic but Luca and Turning Red did not have to be streaming exclusives.

I think it’s way too long. They should try to have the Oscars finished by January 31st.I think more like february. If the Oscars are done by January, everything else will be bunched up.

The DF co-creator/editor is backing this up.
Ah the discussing film guy. Well I just hope the final product is watchable. 🤷♂️
Pixar still hasn't released a bomb on the level of Strange World and Wish. 🤔
Just hope they can make more movies in the future.

This guy posted a picture of said pins later on in the thread as evidence. Personally I believe this. You don't push back a movie like this by 15 months unless something is seriously wrong with it and it needs to essentially be remade.
Well obviously there had to be an issue of some kind for it to be delayed. I wonder if Pete Docter is switching up his managerial style.

Yes but the same can be said for Strange World and Lightyear
No, I don't think you can say the same. A theatrical release is not the same as a Netflix release that got mostly burried.

Disney would basically have to become Pure Flix at this point to address conservative animus. Their status as a symbol of family friendly entertainment that has gradually been shifting towards more inclusive ideals is inevitably gonna make them a target. As much vocal hate as they get, they really are better off in the long-term continuing on the path they are, they just have to improve at execution. You'll notice even now that the movie is available for free on YouTube, not much of a conservative outrage is being directed at Nimona.
Well I think that's mostly because very few people watched Nimona at all.

Well this isn't really Disney exiting physical media. They're just outsourcing the costs. If anything that means they're going more into it.
no, it really doesn't mean that. It's downsizing.

"Don't become the face of a culture war fight where you're on the 30% side of a 30/70 issue" would be the substantive advice I'd give but that's really not generalizable for multiple reasons.
OK so where do you get that 70% number from,
I'm actually a little surprised that the negative opinion on Disney from Conservatives is ONLY 30%. Though I don't know what specific issue you're talking about.

Okay, but... so what? Disney shouldn't do anything about this "problem" because there is no problem. I don't want Disney to cater to a crowd that thought two women kissing was why Lightyear failed (it wasn't).
There were issues before lightyear, like with the controversy over funding Florida politicians, and the tempest in a teapot Turning Red. Then there was strange world. I ultimately don't believe that these are fatal to Disney's brand. Elemental had a lot of these elements, such as references to same sex couples, and it had a 5x mutli from its OW.

Would you link me to the site where you can track tickets sold at AEON cinemas? -
I know Whisper of the Heart will not be in the top 100, but I do wonder how high it will be on the honorable mentions.

Yeah I’ve been thinking for a minute it’s just gonna be Spider verse winning everything from now. Spirited Away just got lucky there wasn’t really an acclaimed American animation that year.
Still could have easily gone to Lilo & Stitch, but I mostly agree.

My thought process was that he was always a "loved, but not idolized" figure a la Aretha Franklin. Is Bob Marley really that big of a deal and I just never noticed?
excuse me what? Both Bob Marley and Aretha Franklin are big deals.

Revitalized Cormac McCarthy's work for a whole new generation
I would say that this movie popularized Cormac McCarthy work like never before.

Turning Red
Ahh I was wondering when this was showing up. It was heavily weighted to the public lists I saw, includng mine. I projected maybe 1700 points from the sample I had but it had about half of that in the end.
-
I dunno where to put this because there is no thread for this movie but on March 6, there might be screenings of Robot Dreams in your area if you check.

BTW Turning Red will have $5 tickets at AMC this coming weekend. Not as low as those Dreamworks/Illumination things with $2 tikeckts. Fewer showtimes than the past weekend. I wonder if it affects anything noticable in the numbers.
-
I know it's not much, but Turning Red did better than estimates, with actuals 8% higher than estimates. It did very well on SuperBowl Sunday, only declining 49% while most movies declined more than 60%. I think it proves that Turning Red would have been good as counterprogramming back in March 2022 when it was originally scheduled to be in theaters.

Are you even sure they have a release in jp? Given that Disney got basically boycotted when they tried short theatrical windows in Japan, I don't imagine they'll get to play stuff that's already on D+ again.
Disney has said there will be a release, yes.

Sleeping Beauty needs to be on 4K disc yesterday. Especially after the truly stunning Snow White and Cinderella releases last year.
yeah it's one of the most visually appealling animated films ever made.

With the Pixar releases (Soul, Turning Red, Luca) being mostly duds in USA+Canada, I wonder how they'll do in Japan. I mean TR sold about 50,000 tickets on its OW, so how much could you possibly expect from Japan? 🤷♂️Also I don't see these movies listed on Japanese cinema websites quite yet. 🤔
