YM!

Honestly they made a huge mistake for the purpose of subscription revenue for Turning Red. It could’ve also done a $150m run. They could have still give it an early Disney Plus release on April 8th. Odds are it’ll still have the same effect and would maximize revenue streams.

Damn @ the late legs of Sing 2, there’s a really good chance at $150m domestic. If I weren’t so cynical on release patterns, as i think a handful of family films (looking at Bad Guys, Lightyear and Super Pets getting direct to streaming or hybrid release) I’d say this is a good sign for the rest of animation this year. NWH is also having some strong legs. Got to say a $260m opener with a $800m finish in the middle of a pandemic is impressive, albeit sustainability is up in the air. Solid opening for Jackass 4Ever, although I am certain the demographic is younger than say the average adult fare, it’s good this and Scream are doing solid business.

Sonic is IP. That’s the main benefit it has a family film in a post pandemic box office.

I’ve lost faith in any animation this year doing over $200m domestic. Theatrical animation is dead, Bob Chapek killed it.

Here, let me clue you in on something that you obviously can’t comprehend. Yes, no one person can represent for their entire background and yes, people from the same background can have differing viewpoints on what’s okay and what’s not, BUT just because one person from said background doesn’t bother them, mean that invalidates why it’s offensive.

Wouldn’t MaxCock sound more lucrative?

Because you’re awesome.

I believe they’re still casting, but I read that the casting call wants actual teenagers to voice the Ninja Turtles which is cool.

It’s sad we have to debate or second guess whether or not the odds the next Pixar movie will even get a theatrical release. However with Kenobi and HSM3 and probably Ms Marvel or She Hulk this summer, they should have the necessary content Lord Chapek wants to survive.

For Chapek, yes.

This is IP and only IP matters for theatrical release for Chapek. That said, I see him pulling some BS and making this a day and date with Premier Access.

Cool to see him score Cuzz Lightyear.

Guessing either it’s not in production yet which seems likely as it wasn’t mentioned in yesterday’s press release for Paramount Animation and Nickelodeon Animation or it’s going direct to Paramount+.

Cool that this is still happening. Wondering if they’ll take a Spider Verse like approach in the animation style.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Shrek 5 gets a 2024/25 release. I can see Dreamworks trying to fast track it.

So… Beta Flynn Rider

Nice to see Feige and Pascal team up on producing again. Especially a non MCU film nonetheless.

Ay, you used quotes from my reviews, thanks @The Panda Also, fantastic list this year, as per usual.

I’m thinking around 40m-50m domestic seems fair.

Lol they moved Morbius again. This probably means we’re getting more Q1 delays right? Sigh.

Unfortunately, no.
