YM!

I’m kind of curious on how Encanto does box office wise. Barring Spirit Untamed and Peter Rabbit 2, it’s the first major family film with a purely theatrical release (my gut says Disney will dump Ron) and part of a big brand.

and also the domestic totals are here.

Hey, all. I know it’s been a minute and many of y’all are thirsty for totals. Unfortunately, returning to school these past few weeks and changing family dynamics have left me little time to focus on totals. However, with the help of @cookie doing the tabulations, I am able to post the totals for this year. I want to apologize for the long wait I have put everyone through and once again thank @cookie for his help. So for now, here’s the DOM totals of the first four months. DOM

So any guesses on OW for DEH?

Well Genndy is working on two other movies for SPA, so I get why he’s not directing In a note, regarding Fall animation, I’m curious on how Ron Goes Wrong does. I’m pretty sure Disney will dump it for numerous reasons but is Croods 2 Numbers a good benchmark?

Went back to theaters yesterday for the first time in 18 months and saw Shang-Chi, and I really was surprised on how much I loved it. It’s like number 6, close to number 5 MCU for me. Tony Leung naturally stole the show. It also made me truly excited about the MCU again which I haven’t really felt in years.

Anyways, I’m trying to find time to work on the totals/WW grosses guys, sorry for being so hush hush but in a combination of college classes being more difficult than I anticipated and some family stuff going on, I’ve been a bit behind. I want to get a quarter up and posted by this weekend. As for the festival, I’m cool lowering both the IC and OOC budgets to either the 25/50 or 30/75 suggested, as for the date I feel it’s way too soon. A lot of members here are either in college or starting/continuing working at vigorous jobs, and have just gotten into the swing of things. I do like @Ethan Hunt’s idea of scheduling though.

Thank you.

And with news of a kiddie vaccine ready to be approved by the end of October apparently, it should gain a substantial chunk of its normal audience. I really think that it could also challenge 500m if everything goes right, maybe even 600m.

Hey man, this is a family friendly Oscars.

@Blankments It finally happened

Lol

Not really, given the last few years, Sony has been able to construct strong brands whether it’s Spider-Man content, Jumanji films or the now somewhat revitalized animation division, whereas Paramount despite having a string of hits with Sonic and AQP, had most of its franchises outside of MI, dead in the water:

I guessed you could say Halloween got killed.

Why?!?!?!?!?!

A 60% drop for a CBM or tentpole regardless of WOM isn’t exactly a rare event, let alone coming after a holiday weekend.

Strange, they normal do that for just Disney. But that’s not too fair of a stretch.

Question: did Shang-Chi go over Ant Man and the Wasp OW?

Hmmmmmmm.

Besides I feel we have had 80s Ghostbusters in both Stranger Things and IT.

Even then, it’s still five years after a not well-received entry and even then I feel Ghostbusters nostalgia in general is debatable in effectiveness. WOM may help legs but I have a hard time seeing it over a $25m OW, $30m tops.

Pineapple pizza is good if it has the right toppings to balance out. Add some heat like jalapeños and the right meat, maybe beef, sausage or pepperoni and it works really well.

Out of curiosity is PA WW or just DOM, if it’s just domestic then I agree but iirc PA is WW, and assuming half, it’d be more around $110m OW. Also August seems empty as well. Something like 8/5 - Black Adam or The Flash 8/12 - Transformers 9/2 - John Wick 4
