It’s not personally, hell I love it better than the original. I just think that Sylvarius will do an upset and has more of a chance. It’s between it and Sylvarius for BAF and I can see either way.
You know out of three, I probably might want to give the crown between Sylvarius and 2LBH for my personal favorite animated film of the year as the former grew on me over time. In my honest opinion it’ll be Sylvarius that wins.
I always have been expecting RT score to be around the same as BATB and depending on holds Pikachu tbh. A 90% on RT or a 50% can’t hurt it or help it as it always had a built in audience, one who would likely love it no matter how good or bad due to nostalgia. The marketing is what needs improving, as it has two weeks left and we all know legs will naturally be rough.
Again I’ve been saying this time and time again, Disney can’t handle marketing three huge tentpoles in a two month timeframe without one sort of suffering, it sort of showed in my honest opinion with Coco, where it’s marketing was kind of bad despite a huge gross. That should’ve done Moana numbers due how barren the family slate was had Disney spaced things out a bit more.
I’d argue that out of the three openers this week, Poms or The Hustle would be the more date night movie. I have a hard time buying a PG movie in general is a date night film or for friends getting together, as I doubt most adults who don’t have kids or into Pokémon are invested in this.
For the record I meant as in Spaghetti, Numbers and Rorschach putting the competition in low enough spots to increase their favor, and SG getting enough places in number 2, and maybe a first place for one.
Bold and crazy prediction: The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl wins Best Animated Feature for the same reason of what I assume Treasure Planet won best visual effects: sabotaging the competition.
