YM!

Going to be honest, I do think it needed to be trimmed quite a bit. But you know there’s always room for improvement and something I’m keeping in mind for number two. I know for a fact Medusa and Artifacts scores are as good as they’re going to get from you for my films as I have a gut feeling you’re going to dislike Splatoon, Static Shock and probably Squirrel Girl. I’m just hoping for mercy.

Wrong thread nvm.

Good to see another member of the T-Bot lovers.

By The Balls has really grown on me since I first read it.

Beast had a $7M OW and legged it to $100M in Japan, now that was during a major Spring Holiday but we have analysts from Japan who think the $45M-$90M is very likely for Aladdin as well as the Lion King. I suspect it’ll be more towards the latter as musicals seem to be thriving there and the fact that Aladdin is the biggest Disney renaissance film there. I’m probably going to guess in the middle and say $60M-$65M for Japan. I am just talking about one market not all of them. I expect Aladdin to do about half of what Beast did in the states and probably in the $500M range OS.

Okay everyone I need y’all for the Oscars to assemble (by That I mean tell me who you want to see) a team of your favorite CAYOM heroes, villains, character interactions and everything in between. Endless doesn’t bring just dead animated films from the dead but dead Oscar Concepts.

Last time I checked the Japan Box Office forum, the insider last said they expect a range from ¥5-10B ($45M-$90M) for both Aladdin (which is the biggest Disney Reninasnce film there) and Lion King and Japan is more of a legs market. That said, I don’t expect much OS from it, a $270M/$530M/$800M seems right.

Considering musicals tend to be bigger in Japan and the fact Beast did $100M, I’d say chances seem fair. Not a lock or even say very likely but there’s a chance.

That’s the problem in releasing them all at once and depending on nostalgia. Nothing in the 2000s category barring Stitch or anything before Mermaid has nostalgic potential where they can do a full on remake. They can try the 2010 category but that wouldn’t be effective until the late 2030s imho.

I do agree with the first part as for release date I’m iffy, as Aladdin is part of an 8 week blitz of $300m+ aiming family films and opens on the frontloaded MD weekend. I still think Dumbo will have better legs.

Mulan is a maybe but agreed. The only big future Live Action remakes imo is Mermaid and Stitch. I can see TENG doing big if they use the unused KOTS pitch as I feel that is way more suited for live action.

It’s the only PG movie though and apparently Shazam! is darker. I think the two will co exist.

As some who likes to see a Disney remake crash and burn, the jury is still open for it. It has an open family market until Pikachu and Spring Break. Let’s wait and see before we start screaming flop.

Again Dumbo doesn’t really relate to this, in think it’s a matter of circumstance. I think Aladdin will do well OS even with competition (as to be honest, it’s more of a DOM problem) as dates are more spread out and different market potentials (for example I think Aladdin could do $100M in Japan where as Pika would struggle with $40M) like really well so it’s not a problem. The 8 week time frame may hinder domestic more than OS but I still see everything doing fine even with Endgame as it’ll make most of it’s money, the first two weeks: TS4: $100M/$365M Pika: $105M/$305M Pets 2: $90M/$285M Aladdin: $90M/$270M Godzilla: $80M/$230M This but I am thinking around MU numbers (~$90M/$270M) DOM.

@cookie how was the CYI? short?

I stop following you when you said both Pets and Aladdin weren’t for small kids. All of them are rated PG.

I think it has more to do with competition, as Pika/Ali/Pets2/TS4 are during an 8 week interval, all aiming at $300M DOM, as well as the Memorial Day spot of doom. Besides legs likely won’t be too good anyways. That said if this and Dumbo underperform DOM, that won’t hurt TLK as it’s a beast of it’s own nature.

And no Static Shock smh.

BOP says $85M/$235M DOM

Another good example is Ice Age. I mean it used to be a giant and then bad sequels (I mean 2-5 have had negative reception but nonetheless) ruined it.

^This. Again, I love most of Disney’s movies (barring the remakes but even then TJB, Cinderella, PD and CR were good to great), however what happens when they run out of stuff to remake cause after Stitch, nothing has potential until like 2030 when they do Frozen or Moana (there’s more but I don’t want to yell and further derail). I’m not saying they should stop remaking everything and I’m not chastising the people who love them. I’d just like more original content as that’s what made them big. I don’t care for how they treat theaters and the power that they have growing to rapid proportions but at the same time know they’re a necessary evil for theaters.

Moto Moto is thicc.
