Back to Alita, considering the budget the numbers are not fantastic but they’re better than tracking and will likely be in the green with a $100M/$450M-$500M performance as well as a win for Fox before they become part of a soulless monopoly.
March better be big I can see some nice breakouts:
CM O/U $150M OW
Us over $60M OW
Dumbo over $70M OW
If in the very unlikely case Disney has the guts and Elsa is a lesbian, I bet it’ll be like how they did LeFou in BaTB 2017 and only subtlety hint at it.
I sort off get what you mean but that’s only because it’s more or less in line with the character models of modern Disney princess films. Not cheap per say but bland. That said it’s an improvement from the first as lighting and technology improves.
You know, I really believe cold weather is partially why numbers are low that and franchise fatigue (which all in all I think we may see this year but not just franchise but remakes as well).
Looking at the inevitable summer pileup and the barren January to February and as well as November, you think studio would spread out more.
Pretty sure Endgame is going to be #1, but #2-6 is looking to be competitive: Frozen II, The Lion King, Episode IX, Captain Marvel, Detective Pikachu and Toy Story 4 all have chances at $400M (the latter two are long shots but semi plausible).
North Shore Cinema update
Alita Battle Angel
7:00 - 6/301 - UltraScreen 3D
7:30 - 13/146
10:00 - 0/301 - UltraScreen 3D
10:35 - 2/146
I’m going to bed as I have classes early but I imagine that 10:35 will stay flat, all and all ouch for previews.
Yeah, I just don’t see those TS4 numbers especially after the 1-2-3 hit of Pika-Aladdin-Pets 2. The trailers haven’t caught fire the way Incredibles 2 or even Dory has.
Not to mention, considering the lack of big movies since The Lion King, audiences will be hungry for a blockbuster, as well as the fact the sort of young adult tone may bring back The now 13-14 year old girls who saw Frozen.
