  1. Aladdin was good. We saw it dubbed (in finnish), based on my experience original live-actions tend being better (especially songs). I liked it a lot, partly due to nostalgy. I gotthe chills when they first song started playing :) It was not as "bombastic" or funny as the original, which was probably good call. In my opinion Jafar was not as bad as some people have mentioned. In addition I liked how they treated other supporting characters (Hakim, Sultan, Jasmines handmaid). Not sure what to think of Will Smit, thou.

    My seven year old liked it over the original; she seems to love CGI over old-fashioned animation. My 13 year old liked Mena Massoud, and I fell in love with Naomi Scott.

    All in all "something old,
    something new,
    something borrowed,
    something blue".

  2. I think Disney is wise not to lift the review embargo early after all. 
     
    Had RT score released earlier, audience will be misled and the buzz will just stop right there , especially the pre-buzz for aladdin is already mixed 
    So is it justified to assume, that if embargo is not lifted early, the critical reception is going to be bad?

  3. We're halfway through the year so let's compare this year to last year (to the weekend, not to the date):
     
    1. Captain America: Civil War - 405M
    2. Finding Dory - 372M
    3. Deadpool - 363M
    4. The Jungle Book - 359M
    5. Zootopia - 341M
    6. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice - 330M
    7. X-Men: Apocalypse - 154M
    8. Kung Fu Panda 3 - 143M
    9. The Angry Birds Movie - 106M
    10. The Conjuring 2 - 95M
     
    Average B.O.: 267M
    Average RT: 65% (6 fresh, 4 rotten)
    Breaks down to 6 sequels, 4 non-sequels.
     
    1. Beauty and the Beast - 504M
    2. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 - 383M
    3. Wonder Woman - 347M
    4. Logan - 226M
    5. The Fate of the Furious - 225M
    6. The LEGO Batman Movie - 176M
    7. Get Out - 175M
    8. The Boss Baby - 174M
    9. Kong: Skull Island - 167M
    10. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales - 165M
     
    Average B.O.: 254M
    Average RT: 75%(8 fresh, 2 rotten)
    Breaks down to 4 sequels, 6 non-sequels

    Interesting, nice. Is Kong: Skull Island the fourth sequel? Or Logan?
  4. Removing Japan's OW it's on ~532 OS-Japan. So should do 540 (even a bit more) OS-Japan.
    Dom should do 170 (maybe 1-1.5m more).
    That's 710 WW-Japan (540 + 170).
     
    So 90m from Japan (even 85m, if above markets add a little more) will give it 800m WW.
     
    Even if the prod budget was 260-270 opposed to reported budget of 230, then it should do around 3x the prod budget WW with 780-800.

    Why do you suggest that production budget was not the one reported?
  5.  He said it's trending close to the same numbers as the last Pirates film which made $108 million, so I wouldn't throw $800 million out just yet. It's a long mark for sure, but I wouldn't say it's off the table yet with this opening so strong. And that opening number could go up further if the Sunday drop off is not as much. Should be interesting to watch. Without a doubt Pirates 5 is another winner for Disney. They've got to be pleased with it's staying power five movies in. 

    I'm with you.

  6. If I was gonna pick my Top 3 GA animations since 2010, I'd pick Toy Story 3, The Lego Movie, and Kubo.  Beautiful storytelling in all 3...and the endings of all 3...just epic and awesome...if you have to have great moments, it pays to put them at the end:).
     
    And since it's a Will Ferrell weekend, let's talk about where he completely shined in The Lego Movie - watch him act that last live action scene with his young boy and tell me you aren't almost brought to tears...he kept it understated and real...and tell me that you don't know some collector or someone else who had that same mindset about "stuff vs kids"...my husband went through a stage like that with his trade paperback collection...it took finding out how much his kids loved them to realize it was worth having them become "well-loved" vs "like new"...the movie hit that whole thing out of the park...

    And the little-sister with duplos stuff at the very end of the lego movie. My kids are at the age, where little sister keeps destroying their lego build-ups [emoji4]

    Well no, the movie merchandise sales can be affected by how loved and successful the movie output is without being the only factor, like you said a car franchise is one of the best to be merchandised to young boys (versus a movie like Moana that is harder to turn into toys). Hard to believe that Cars merchandise sales worldwide would not have been 1% higher in the last 5 year's, that they would have been the exact same amount if Cars 2 was a Toy story 2/3 level beloved movie that made 900 million at the world box office.
     
    We would need a by year breakdown to see if there is a jump in the movie year and if it is lower than for franchise with more liked and bigger output.
     
    Someone did try to look for Hasbro toys sales and Hasbro related movie box office and the correlation was really strong:

    Hasbro could be an extreme case, I doubt that would be the same for every franchise, but it is hard to imagine zero link between movie popularity and their merchandise.

    Can not see strong correlation there, maybe I do not understand the graph (?)

    Weaker jumps for WW и BD:depp:


    Was hoping better for Cars, even if you all said it would be crumbling...

  9. Cars3 falls 55% over the weekend. Fine imo.
    Cars1 -44% : original, no thu previews
    Cars2 -60%
    Cars3 -55% : three-quel, thu previews
     
    Certainly points to better reception.
    Problem is DM3 next weekend. Could again give a similar drop.

    BO Mojo has better number for Friday than what Asgard gave earlier (7.5 vs 7.2), so maybe Satu number will also increase (I am assuming Mojos number has been released later -> more accurate). Think that Cars 3 will have closer to -50% than -55% decrease.

  10. Yes, but they are counting on close to $100 million from Japan. And few posts earlier it was mentioned by several posters that it is not likely (althou I do hope they are wrong [emoji4]). Anyway with such good last weeks in DOM it should do clearly over $750 million.
