YM!

Hello all, Are you a writer? Have you considered trying CAYOM this year? We’re just about to start Year 7 but there’s still plenty of time for anyone to join, as the movie submission period deadline has been extended to March 23rd. Give it a try if you can, have a great day.

I loved this book as a kid and KFC directing, this is probably one of my most hyped upcoming films.

Congrats @ChipDerby

Think Grinch, Coco and Pets 2 are the best comparisons for it, the average of the three gives us about $53M OW so $55M-$60M OW seems like a good bet.

@cayommagazine Matthew A Cherry and Bruce W Smith (The Proud Family, Academy Award winning Hair Love) have signed on to write and direct an untitled musical for Endless Animation schedule for Y8. Details will be revealed next week.

You’re arguing with a 5 year old.

But will it match The Longest Daycare short that came with Ice Age 4 in quality

@Cap

@cayommagazine LaKeith Stanfield joins Endless Animation’s Creation as a part of the main voice cast. Details for Creation will arrive sometime around April but casting information will be scattered through March.

@cayommagazine Academy Award winner Donald Glover (Gateways, Atlanta) has been casted to play the titular character in Nia DeCosta’s Heartman. Heartman begins production in a few weeks, shot in Barbados and Chicago.

And one can say the reverse for the fanboys on the board.

I mean the live action remakes are pretty much the same thing as DTV sequels.

Onward North Shore Cinema (9 days before previews, 10 before release) Mequon, WI 3/5/20 6:00 - 9/147 7:00 - 0/301 - UltraScreen 10:00 - 0/301 - UltraScreen 15% of Toy Story 4 ($17.7M OW) 39% of Despicable M3 ($29.3M OW) 129% of Sonic The Hedgehog ($74.51M OW) 300% of The Secret Life of Pets 2 ($142.9M OW) Pretty solid for an animation though buzz seems eerily quiet for it. Thinking $45M-$60M OW seems about right.

It’s Val. He can’t be older than 8.

How old are you?

@cayommagazine News about a Y7 project and future news Infinite Studios, Will Packer Productions, and debuting film director/actress Regina King invite you to Cropover. Cropover is a comedy-drama set in the country of Barbados. The DeCosta family consisting of recently divorced and overworked mother Yvonne (Regina King), and her children, the reserved yet precocious child Abioye (Evan Alex) and charismatic teen daughter Alexa (Alisha Boe) travel to Barbados, for the first time since Yvonne left to America, as the family goes to reconnect and discover their roots. While the plot seems rather basic, the film is said to be extremely heartfelt, and moving. Cropover will come out sometime August Y7 as more details will arise. Angelina Jolie (The Eternals, Kung Fu Panda) and Andrew Rannells (Netflix’s Big Mouth) have signed on for voice roles in Gateways 2.0., Jolie will play Piper as Rannells plays a new character. Gateways 2.0. is being given a Y11 release date, as Creation has moved up to a Y9 release date, both films directed by Pete Docter.

His next project is apparently one of the unused characters from the original version of Bolt.

Disney will always win, no matter how mediocre unless reviews are awful or competition gains legitimate buzz.

That’s not real tracking, it’s just BOP projections.

Puerto Rico rides again.

Batman v Superman isn’t direct competition though. Direct competition hurts worse. Hell, I wouldn’t discount Mulan for a 100M OW either.

No. Zootopia had no family competition until The Jungle Book which was mid April on it’s seventh week which had a 40%+ drop. Also there was no family films at all since Kung Fu Panda which did ~140m iirc. Onward faces Mulan on its fourth week, Peter Rabbit 2 on its fifth and Trolls 2 on its seventh. A benefit is Easter weekend is on the sixth to offset a drop. That said, family films take theater space which is something we all know, take Boss Baby which fell nearly 50% on its second weekend due to Smurfs which did sub 15m OW, Lego Batman’s late legs collasped due to the one-two-Three punch of Beast, Boss Baby and Smurfs back to back. It is also is after Sonic, which at the very minimum I’m expecting 150M, more likely 180-200M Granted it won’t effect Onward’s second weekend or third weekend which if as long as it keeps the Pixar quality, I wouldn’t expect drops under 35% for those two weekends but I do think the films after it will hamper late legs a bit due to space. That said I don’t see under a 3.5x multiple for Onward, especially since I’m guessing both Mulan and Trolls want 4,000+ theaters and Rabbit 2 likely at 3,500 theaters
