Hypothetically, how well do you think a hand drawn animated legacy sequel to one of their 90s/00s films would perform?
Reactivating Disney’s hand drawn division to do, let’s say, an Emperor’s New Groove 2 or Mulan sequel could be something really savvy from a business perspective, while also honouring the legacy of what Disney did to begin with.

If WB were really smart, they'd arrange a major wide release for the 10th anniversary of Interstellar with major IMAX support.
The film is beloved on a level with The Godfather and 2001: A Space Odyssey with Millennials and has a strong TikTok presence as a result.
Could easily see it clearing $50 million with full marketing support. There's a massive yearning to see it on a big screen for the people too young to have seen it initially.
With theatres looking sparse next year, there's a terrific opportunity laid out in front of them.

What will be number one next week?
If Expend4bles doesn’t deliver I could see A Haunting in Venice get another chance with good WOM.

I know we don't have the numbers yet but is Kingsman 2 looking to clear $100M at this rate?

Eye Of The Beholder was the lowest back in 2000 during Super Bowl Weekend
It's very possible that we could have the lowest grossing #1 movie since 1997 this weekend. Nothing has dropped lower than $9.5 million when adjusted for inflation.
-
The next two weekends are looking extremely thin. Will THB hold on to number one for three weeks? Or could Close Encounters have a wide enough opening to challenge it?
-
Annabelle Creation is doing pretty well. Is 100M looking more likely?
-
Can't say I'm too surprised that this underperformed. I didn't sense that much interest out there. It's another one of these franchises that the internet disproportionately cares about in relation to the real world.
-
What will the domestic total end up being? Will it make it to 100M?
-
I'm expecting this to be much less of a crowd-pleaser than Force Awakens was. This is far too complex, dark, and different to win over a lot of people.

This movie really is nothing special. You'll probably forget it by the time you leave the theatre.

Loved The BFG. Such a shame that it isn't doing well.

Tarzan is a big surprise. People were already calling it a disaster months ago.

To be fair, this movie should've probably easily had a $100M+ opening, at least on paper.
The first one isn't that beloved. You could call it a fad. Men in Black 3 didn't touch the original when you adjusted inflation. Sequels to movies that were big hits in the nineties like Armageddon, Twister, Deep Impact, True Lies, the Lethal Weapon movies, Home Alone, Robin Hood wouldn't necessarily be guaranteed huge hits. Maybe we overestimate 90s nostalgia at the box office? I didn't even like IDR by the way.
-
It's funny how everyone was predicting IDR's failure e.g. not crossing 100M but now, that it's doing much better than expected, people are calling it a disappoint.

Fuck that's huge. This movie is headed for over 500 million. Why has the GA been so picky recently??
This has really stood out this year. There have been very few mid-range successes. Movies seem to either do really really well or have mediocre runs. I read somewhere that this has something to do with everyone seeing the movie of 'the moment' but nothing else.

The Jungle Book says hi. And the Conjuring 2 will likely squeak over the mark.
I'm including Jungle Book in animation because it was like 90% cgi.
-
It's sad that the only movies that have been able to cross $100M this year have been comic book movies or animated movies. It tells you a lot about the state of the film industry.

Absolutely terrible list but very expected.
Twisters | Uni/WB | July 19, 2024 | A remake (?) to the 1996 classic

I hope it does well but I don’t think CGI cyclones have the novelty value they had in 1996.
It needs great reviews, otherwise I don’t see what’s gonna get people out of their homes to see it.
