All I’m saying is with the right people and a good push; they could turn a live action Treasure Planet or Atlantis into their new POTC.
But nah fuck it we’ll get live action Little Mermaid 3 or live action Frozen before that.
Looking at the calendar, we just need films for these dates:
August 7th: @cookie‘s Animal Crossing is date for this spot but is unfinished
November 25th: 2 films are needed, both @Blankments‘s Who Recycled Roger Rabbit and @Xillix‘s Silent Hill: Restless Dreams are planning on opening there but haven’t claimed the dates officially.
December 18th: @cookie‘s Voltron Reunion is dated for the spot but is unfinished
December 25th: 1 film, @4815162342‘s Fortnight is slated there but unfinished @YourMother the Edgelord‘s Kingdom of The Sun is finished but a film is still needed
I’m not denying it’s possible this does around PATF but it should be noted it has more trailer views and buzz then either Grinch or Ralph 2. I’m thinking a run like $30M/$150M

Endless Animation inks a deal with Laika, makers of Coraline and ParaNorman to produce a series of stop motion films similar to Dreamworks Animation/Aardman.
The two are doing a three picture deal, the first of one is tentatively titled “A Fool’s Errand”, directed by Chris Butler, about a blind jester who dreams of being a knight, must save his kingdom from an evil thought to be vanquished.
June 5th-7th
Blankments’ Brave is looking at a solid opening of $40M-$55M, although it’s not as big as the other remakes, it should be noted that original Brave is only 8 years old and at a modest budget of $95M
Brave: $50M/$147.5M (x2.95) (Due to the young age and mixed reviews I doubt Brave will light the box office aflame especially with Dragon 2 still thrashing as well as High School Musical 4: Reunion nearby.)
June 12th-14th
At a strong 97 on Metacritic and barrels of hype, Lager’s The Odyssey: Homecoming is shaping up to be the one of the biggest hits of the year, and could topple Homeward’s OW record ($181M), despite its R rating, tracking at a strong $175M-$200M
The Odyssey: Homecoming: $200M/$522M (x2.61) (Hype should elevate this far more than expected but it will be the most frontloaded of the three as it is the final chapter as we also expect Jaws to be quite big)
June 19th-21st
Red Cresent’s Darkness Dwells Deep is tracking at a strong $20M-$22M due to 3D influence as well as lack of horror films.
Darkness Dwells Deep: $21M/$48M (x2.28)
June 26th-28th
Endless/Blankments’ High School Musical 4: Reunion is tracking strongly at $40M-$50M trending well in both the female and family demographics despite mixed reviews due to a huge marketing campaign.
O$corp’s biblical epic Paradise Lost isn’t as strong though tracking at $25M-$30M and due to mixed reviews.
High School Musical 4: Reunion: $45M/$157.5M (x3.5) (Yes reviews aren’t the best but it could be a crowd pleaser not to mention a dallop of nostalgia can’t hurt)
Paradise Lost: $30M/$70M (x2.33) (Not expecting much for this, doubt Christian groups will be raving about it but the unique perspective may help)
