Us has one of the better scripts (as in, purely from a craftmanship aspect, not going into whether the story itself is compelling or not) I have ever seen in a horror movie. The way it sets things up and reuses them later, hides details, etc... is amazing. I really want to watch it again because I feel there's barely a wasted moment. Even what feels like throwaway stuff becomes key later on. I'm in love with it. Happy that it's making so much money, we need more successful original films.

I can confirm that Disney Spain seems very confident in this. They have spent more on localisation and marketing than they usually do for their family releases (which is usually very little, Illumination otoh spends loads).

From a "where do I take my children this weekend" point of view, all those films you cite are probably more enjoyable to them - they have more jokes, rather simple plots, more slapstick. You need Pixar levels of reception/reputation to pull off incredible legs with more sophisticated animated movies like HTTYD. Nonetheless, all the movies in the saga still made good money. They hardly failed.

Monday (03/11/2019) Numbers - Cap Marvels 10.9M
Celedhring replied to charlie Jatinder's topic in Numbers and Data
What was the last movie to draw double digits during a non-holiday weekday ? (so I'm not counting Aquaman) I'm seeing The Grinch on Monday Nov 12, but that was a -53% drop so I'm assuming there was holiday of some kind? Otherwise I have to go all the way back to JW:FK on July 3rd, unless I'm missing another movie. -
Genies are fantasy creatures, so they have more leeway with them race-wise. I'm personally happy they didn't pull a Gods of Egypt with this. I agree the leads seem miscast though, hopefully it's just a badly cut trailer. That said, we're just two months away and they should have better material available than this...

Finally caught up with Into the Spider-verse. Well, that was fantastic. Pity it's not doing as much as it deserves, we need more big budget animated films that aren't either Pixar copycats (and I love Pixar) or lowest common denominator slapstick crapfests. Does it have animated Oscar buzz? I hope so.

It's a disaster, but it's doing enough money OS to avoid the "worst bomb of the decade" moniker. IIRC it will open in China, too. Can see it limping past 100M WW. If it somehow does a bit better (say China or Japan take to it) might end up losing less money than Solo. The concept was way out there for the GA to buy into it, and the books aren't that famous. It screams "you shouldn't spend 100m doing this". Their best market is Russia, Russians do love bizarre sci-fi extravaganzas.
