I've seen it three times. Aiming for a fourth viewing, assuming theaters in my area show it.
What's crazy is that I sat in an empty theater the first couple of rounds. "Round three" saw a theater that was almost fully packed. Word of mouth is what's driving this film's box office.

Babe (1995) turned 25 years old today. I wasn't even three years old until much later in the month of its initial release.

I would agree if this were The Little Mermaid or something like that but Cruella seems like it could be more like Dumbo or The Lady and the Tramp
Yeah, I actually agree. Cruella is a character who was designed to be reviled. She lacks the class of Maleficent and she certainly isn't a Disney princess. Idk if she'll have the same star power that Disney princesses have. Again, we'll have to wait and see.

I am starting to wonder if this will actually stay in November. I hope not but now with this composer announcement plus the rating revealed already, it might come out much sooner.
I don't expect any major "blockbuster" release to stay in its current spot--not even Tenet or Mulan with an inevitable jump in cases.
But we'll see.

Someone I know spoke with McCreary at a meet-and-greet one year ago and he confirmed that he wasn't returning.
I'm actually interested to see what Junkie XL can do with this. People were inevitably going to complain about the selection, but I'm interested in seeing how the soundtrack will turn out.

Yeah, but Kong:Skull Island featured a totally different lead monster, tone, and look from both Godzilla 2014 and KOTM. It's not really a coincidence that the most successful film of this franchise was the only one that didn't feature Godzilla at all.
A lot of these are good points. Each film has been different in style and tone.
The same should be expected for Godzilla vs. Kong. Whether audiences will bite remains to be seen.

Saw it today, as I had the day off. This beat the hell out of Birds of Prey, and I'm sure I would enjoy it more than any other February release this year.
Keep in mind, I was someone who initially wanted to see it 10 months ago because the design was so bad and wanted a laugh. I still got some laughs from this. It's worth at least one matinee viewing.

I expected a delay. Hopefully it's because the movie needs more time and not because Wingard & co. fucked so many things up along the lines.

If this flops, it'll only prove that I don't understand the tastes of Disney fans and what they truly like.
-
If it's likely to be finished in less than six months, release it in March. If it's not, push it back. Just don't throw it to the wolves during the Summer.
I have a feeling that these films can thrive much better outside of the Summer months anyway. Kong: Skull Island proved that releasing them in the heat of May or June isn't necessary, as long as the movie itself appeals to audiences.
-
I was still going to see this no matter what the score said. Still, it's good to know that while there is a drop off in the score compared to its predecessor, critics aren't outright saying that it sucks.
But I don't watch horror films to get scared. I watch them to be entertained. I expect that much from this.
-
The first one didn't click with me, but I'm glad a lot of other people are excited for this.
It just feels weird to see its first sign of marketing with less than three months to go.
-
I mustered up the courage to watch the trailer. This kind of stuff doesn't endear me to musicals.
-
Oddly enough, I'm not as excited for this film as I was with the first part. I guess I'll need to wait for the second trailer.

Swiper actually looks decent.
How did they mess up Sonic?

Also, I'm actually quite glad that they aren't pulling a Justice League despite KotM's performance. That didn't go over well.

Well ya take half a decade, and let audiences think about not seeing Godzilla, in the Godzilla film in 2014...the ship has already sailed. KOTM is actually a good movie, so maybe they have awoken the audience from their long, 5-year slumber. Maybe Godzilla vs Kong does decent numbers.
Yeah, if this movie is a success, it's not going to make fantastic numbers. It will just make enough to generate a decent profit.

How about the visuals? They look really sleek in the trailer - and are the first and often only thing the Shay ever cares about.
Some of the CGI was actually a bit rough in certain spots, but for the most part they were okay.

Not really sure what to say about this that people don't already know. The chemistry between Hemsworth and Thompson works well enough, but everything else falls flat. Really flat.
You're not missing out on anything by choosing to skip this movie. I like the MiB series, but this one will likely be forgotten by most people in less than a year. I enjoyed it slightly more than Dark Phoenix at least.

I hope that wasnt intentional, but theres no need to sound mean-spirited about some members just because they arent posting here right now.
Besides, nothing wrong/delusional with the line of thinking that "Godzilla & even more monsters" would gross more than "just Godzilla." People are free to speculate.
Yeah, I think some people are high strung about this little tidbit. Whatever reason they may have, it is silly.
Some of us are sticking around. The nature of the box office fascinates me. Also, you won't see many of us going into threads about DCU or MCU films bashing superhero films, or Disney films, or the people who love them.
On another note, talking smack about box office numbers is pointless.

WB need to sack Adam Wingard (why was this guy hired? Lol) and bring in either James Wan or Jordan Vogt Roberts to take over
Jordan isn't directing another MonsterVerse film, as much as I wish he would. He's still trying to get the Metal Gear Solid film off the ground.

So the first trailer for this might be next year.
Which is fine. It would be weird forcing one right out the gate two months after KotM's release.

They aren't going to sell it to Netflix. They may not even be able to depending on WB's contract with Toho.
2024 Box Office Predictions and Discussion
in Box Office Discussion
Posted · Edited by NoobSaibot
This is purely anecdotal, but I remember early responses to Joker's sequel being less than ideal because of its shift to a musical style. Not sure if a shift in tone will harm or aid it, but either way I don't think it'll hit $1 billion. I agree with AMC's notion that Despicable Me 4 has potential for $1b, as it's such a beloved franchise at this point and DM3 already achieved that milestone.
Other passing glances: I anticipate that Dune will have a stronger box office worldwide total since the first one was enjoyed so much, but expecting more than $550 million WW might be pushing it. Same for GxK.
