YM!

I think to offset the animation/family over-performance this year (2LBH is settling with about $440M, TUSG will do over $300M, Medusa, Sylvarius, American Dragon, and Olive all did in the range of $250M+. Even Splatoon did $200M), the sheer number of family films and it being @Xillix‘s turn to spin the wheel, I think we may see softer returns for some of the animated films like 2016/2017.

Is there a chance Squirrel Girl tops Can You Imagine?

Way too early pre Y6 predicts: 1.) Spark: A Hero’s Promise: $215M/$630M 2.) Voltron: The Hunted: $100M/$175M/$445M 3.) Untitled Matt Reeves Flick (I have a concept of what is): $155M/$380M 4.) Super Mario Bros: $65M/$100M/$370M 5.) Pokémon: The Cinnabar Conspiracy: $125M/$150M/$330M 6.) DragonBorns/Pigeon 2: $75M/$325M and $90M/$325M 7.) Mass Effect: Ascension/Blue and Gold II: $115M/$300M and $100M/$125M/$300M 8.) Carmen’s Voyage: $70M/$300M 9.) Scrooge 0.5 (cause no time to remember that long name): $75M/$280M 10.) Children Of Eden/Silent Hill: Rebirth: $85M/$250M or $90M/$250M

@cayommagazine Endless Animation’s The Music In Me will shift away from the normal 2.5 CG/2D Animation. After the performances of Endless’ animated fare and @cookie‘s Ducktales and @Alpha‘s Amulet franchise, The Music In Me will be fully traditional animated, making it the first for Endless Animation but the music realm will contain CGI background.

It’ll always be number one out of the three in my heart.

@Blankments if it’s any consolation, Olive has a really good shot at $250M especially if it gets BP nomination.

Why is T-Bot?

1.) TSW2 - $470M-$480M 2.) 2LBH - $450M 3.) Pillars 2 $330M-$340M 4.) One Punch Man - $330M 5.) Squirrel Girl - $300M-$350M 6.) Green Lantern - $280M-$290M 7.) ADFP - $275M-$280M 8.) Medusa - $275M-$280M 9.) Sylvarius ~$260M 10.) Olive - $235M-$240M

Also TSW2 might make $500M after all.

Damn at Squirrel Girl! Might be my third $300M DOM grossing animated film. Still wih as powerful as Medusa and TUSG were and even Splatoon which is not an Endless Animation film, I imagine Mario will be a beast if it is really good next year.

Either Poison and Wine or Redeeming Love

Certainly you weren’t here for the Raegr era or the DCasey era.

@cayommagazine Imagine Dragons to write the song “1 Up” for Endless Animation’s Super Mario Bros. Mario leaps into theaters Thanksgiving Y6.

OS was always going to be the big fish for Aladdin. I suspect DOM likely won’t be extraordinary due to competition but OS is more spread out and it’ll have a bigger presence.

Shrek 2 is one my favorite sequels tbh... But agreed.

Despite the two recent sequels not living up to the legacy, I can easily see a Shrek 5 making a run for $600M maybe $700M cause Shrek is arguably the most nostalgic 2000s animated movie for 90/00’s kids.

Though I easily agree, all fanboys are awful, no matter the faction and make things harder image wise for the vast amounts of good fans.

As for most impressive: 1.) IW/Endgame/TFA (hyped sequels to beloved franchises) 2.) Jurassic World (came out of nowhere, like that showcased the true power of nostalgia at the market imho) 3.) The Avengers (first team up movie ever and caused the cinematic universe thirst) 4.) Spider-Man/Shrek 2/TPM (the first showed the true potential of CBMs, the second so many people sleep on as it was the biggest film of 2004 and held the animation record for over 12 years, and still holds on to the adjusted record (I think the 5 day is in the near $190M range), and TPM although bad showed the love for Star Wars and actually had decent legs. 5.) Pirates 2/TDK (that jump) I would include Potter 8, Incredibles 2 (was one of the few people along with @DAJK to say $500M+ was happening), Spider-Man 3, and Sith has some impressive OWs.

People on BOT: PikaPika stans are annoying with their joke predictions CBM fanboys: Actually ruining threads with their very petty infighting People on BOT:

Really considering making The Music In Me fully traditionally animated after seeing how big both @cookie‘s Ducktales franchise and @Alpha‘s Amulet series.

Outside of Should You Imagine and Medusa, I have a role for her in a original blockbuster series coming up. Point is like Cookie with Farmiga or you with Lane, I want to make Martin a star as I love Blackish and am excited to see Little.

Let me clarify.

As for young Mario/Luigi may just say fuck it and cast Thomas’ son and Ethan as they’re minor roles.

Tonal whiplash warning: the first few minutes of Mario will be somewhat dark for a family film.
