YM!

Yes ma'am. Do think ceiling will be smaller this decade due to plus but it's plausible audience can still be retrained. Make this, Indy and TLM your Christmas releases.

Tbh I think it can have a Super Pets like multiple due to lack of family competition getting it to Lightyear to The Good Dinosaur range. It’s not good at all but it's a step in the right direction for WDAS and Pixar.

This is why you're my favorite poster on here lol.

Nothing brings BOT together more than something flopping.

With that OW and with a very realistic chance that Flash could have a poor Saturday jump and go sub 50m OW, that Elemental overtakes it domestically.

Call me back when a Disney movie has better LGBTQ representation than Disney Channel shows. At best, we will get a kiss between Wiccan and Hulkling that can be edited out with a few scenes. I trust Marvel somewhat more than most other franchises for representation but only to a certain point.

I don't want Young Avengers as I don't trust Feige to make it gay enough.

If no hook then what?

Yet I doubt FNAF does 100m domestic.

The Supergirl there isn’t the Supergirl from the show nor does it have any relevance to the plot. Get a better bit.

Out of curiosity what are your predictions for the upcoming MCU movies?

They really need some people with powers and not just assassins and super soldiers. Sentry and Ghost are the only two with powers and I don’t know think they can fight evil Superman well. Throw in Red Hulk, Mysterio (cause he’s obviously still alive), Mordo (he hasn’t add anything to do), the bad guy from The Marvels, etc. They need to look different than Marvel’s Suicide Squad.

Tbh The Marvels has a more uphill battle in understanding on who is in there from streaming. Kamala and Monica just appear out of nowhere to the blind eye whereas Endgame and Black Widow introduced the eyes of Falcon being Captain America with old man Steve giving him the Shield and Yelena living up to Natasha’s legacy. Apart for Isaiah Bradley and Val, I don’t think any show characters from the show returning and they can be explained via exposition and don’t have powers to confuse.

With what I’ve seen from the KFP4 trailer leaks, I think a Dragon 3 run would be great for it.

I think both will be movies that work on legs rather than OW. What’s Thunderbolts hook aside from the Marvel brand and I think Winter Soldier numbers especially with a new Cap even with all the Hulk stuff is more comparable for Brave New World. The audience is definitely getting more pick and choosy with Marvel stuff especially when I think these two are more likely to play as new Marvel stuff instead of sequels.

Like Dune has its own IMAX page and trailer, The Marvels doesn’t. I don’t think it’s getting IMAX, PLFs sure but not IMAX.

Think we’ll get something like Matrix/Spider-Man in which Spider-Man got the PLFs but Matrix kept IMAX with Dune and The Marvels as I’m pretty sure Denis has a Nolan like deal with them.

No PLFs though.

Feeling more 80-90m for that one. Think Dune and Hunger Games will all eat into each other.

Actually more in the ballpark of 90m but I think Pixar and Disney needs to find a way to keep budgets down for their originals at least for the time being. DWA are based in Glendale and tend to bat at 90-135m a piece, and the only way for Pixar to get there is to cut pay, use cheaper software and jobs unfortunately.

Like I chalk up a lot of different factors why Elemental is failing: the Disney+ factor training audiences to wait especially for Pixar, original IP being a harder sell now, mid reviews for a Pixar movie being the death knell, not appealing enough to the GA and pretty bad marketing (Unlike Lightyear and Strange World this had presence but it wasn’t good enough to get butts into seats), but it’s up to those two films. Elio had a decent teaser as it’s somewhat reminiscent to classic Pixar adventure but I think they should consider moving it because Pixar originals aren’t threats anymore. Wish is a traditional big Disney musical with an aesthetic blending Disney’s usual style with the popular SpiderVerse aesthetic. I still think if it has strong reviews it’ll do okay but with Disney family stuff underperforming and Trolls 3 just five days before it, it has a very uphill battle. Migration has the Illumination brand and looks like dumb family fun and doesn’t need to be good to succeed just entertaining. Though with Wonka and Aquaman being prime choices, is that enough for it to live.

I still want to wait to see how Wish and Migration perform before declaring death but it’s in trouble.

Is it possible it overindexed in some places or maybe had a higher ATP than expected?

Disney/Pixar’s Elemental started previews at 3PM tonight and box office sources peg that pic’s Thursday night at around $3.5M. How?!

How solidly is solid for Elemental?
