YM!

Honestly think Batgirl will get a theatrical release now.

Could go for Thanksgiving 2023. There’s nothing there.

Sonic 2 should open at least to $50m I think. The Bad Guys probably around lower $20m but I can see $30m+ if Universal keeps up the marketing.

Think it should show up the week after next in time for Morbius OS.

While the optimist in me is hopeful that Lightyear goes theatrical and I do think that we won’t know for absolute sure until like early April as that is around two months before release, Sonic 2 also releases which should open nicely and CinemaCon as disney would make the announcement before but not after, I still doubt it. Correct me if I’m wrong as I have like no knowledge but I believe Marvel has deals that guarantee theatrical releases at least for the stars’ contracts while stuff from WDAS and Pixar do not. Even for the theaters’ making noise, I doubt it’d change the tide too much unless Docter and the whole Pixar crew actually go up in arms, which again I doubt many will as for job security. Unless NATO and chains said we won’t show Marvel or Avatar movies in theaters I doubt much would really make an effort that Pixar or WDAS would stay theatrical.

I wonder when we’ll get the first teaser. I was going to say MoM but I think the two marvel films will be attached to it.

I mean Lightyear is almost all but certain going to the plus. Minions 2, Mario and SpiderVerse 2 could challenge it but even then I think Minions 2 will be hurt a lot by Thor a week later. Mario while I think has an extremely high ceiling and is the most likely, no video game movie has done over 140m domestically. SpiderVerse is also a wildcard,

Shazam 2 will be fine. Yes opening against Avatar 2 isn’t good but should even put with Christmas legs. Besides Mario isn’t that much of a threat either, I doubt any animation this year will go over Sing 2 domestically.

Even then I don’t think Disney cares anymore and I think theaters would throw a fit but they’d come crawling back to get Avatar 2 and the MCU stuff within the first two weeks of the fit. I think theatrically Disney will only put forth the MCU, Star Wars films, an occasional remake into theaters but not any more animation. I think Chapek has made that loud and clear. Theaters need Disney more than the opposite as it stands currently. I do expect it to bite them in the ass later though.

A bit of a better spot for it tbh.

I mean, why do they have in the summer besides Kenobi?

They could also wait towards Cinemacon but I think Turning Red’s numbers will be the biggest determinative as Sing 2 doing well didn’t save TR.

If TR goes bonkers on the plus which I suspect it will, Lightyear will also go to the plus. They got a few weeks to make a decision it seems. We should hear soon with CinemaCon around the corner.

Puss In Boots gets mauled by fucking dogs after losing a card game due to his gambling addiction

I doubt it. Mainly because of universal’s promotion cycle. The Bad Guys releases OS next week and with Puss in Boots getting a trailer next week, Minions 2 will be the other attachment. Probably not until July at the earliest. If we are lucky, you might get a poster or something.

Today is the day Lightyear goes to the Plus.

Wonder what the budget for this is. $65-$80m like Croods and DaBossBaby 2?

A sumo wrestler fucking kills Puss in Boots.

Yeah Lightyear going to the Plus tomorrow as a last ditch effort to save the stock and his job. Throw in Strange World and the 2023 films too for good measure.

Congratulations @Menor Reborn

I’m ready for Chapek to try to pivot tomorrow Lightyear for the plus lol.

Puss in Boots was kinda mid Dreamworks tbh but the premise is hilarious as we are going to get a montage of Puss dying absurd ass deaths eight times.

I think both will move once we get trailers for both Avatar 2 and Wakanda Forever. Flash could do Labor Day weekend and Aquaman goes to 2023, as either Shazam, Batgirl or Wonka takes its spot.

Yeah, this trailer is cuter than the first one, and sells me a bit more on Kevin Hart Ace. It’s cute how he and Batman bond over tragic backstories. Jury is still out on quality though.
