Fast 9 is coming in 2020 now.

This along with TTG, and Spongebob I can see $100M domestic.

Nice.

Shape of Water.

Hypothetically speaking have you considered that one person doesn't mean facts. If we used that logic Coco is not appealing well. I think you are letting your feelings cloud judgement. I'm not denying there's family appeal.

People really don't get sarcasm on here.

And Disney would've got away with it if it weren't for those meddling kids.

I'll see it. I grew up playing most of the Sonic games and watching Sonic X when I was younger.

But Sonic must have blue arms or I'll send an angry letter to Sega, color in the arms blue on the posters and mace a theater employee.

Have Chris Chan voice him and have a Sanic cameo and it's the perfect movie.

Wait. So is Touchstone back?

I'm excited for this.

Okay. I'll shut up.

If any of you animation fans are interested, I made a club recently for discussion. https://forums.boxofficetheory.com/clubs/41-animation-club/

True. I just think WAG can do so much better. WB is one of the big studios, second only to Disney in terms of box office. I'm still optimistic with WAG and know they make great films. Ninjago would've benefited if it were released in 2018 and had time to be reworked or maybe as shorts with WAG movies.

Still, Smurfs had a big fall OS from the past two movies. Emoji may have benefited from a dire August but Minions had no family competition and that didn't do a 3x multiple. Judging by OS numbers and domestic numbers so far, Ninjago is doing under $200M WW. Barring Paramount, WAG might be one of the weakest animation studios. SPA's four films next year seem likely for at least $200M WW. HT3 and ASMM are probably doing over $300M WW. WAG has only two films in the foreseeable future that can do $200M+ WW, and that's Lego 2 and Scooby.

Still barring the two previous Lego Movies, no WAG film has done over $75M domestic or $200M WW. SPA although this year isn't the best, both Village and Emoji outgrossed Storks and Ninjago. WAG may have an idea but their results aren't the best. There is a chance that both TTG and Smallfoot are the weakest major studio animated film of 2018.

February or Mid May or Early November also works good too. TTG seems like for Emoji Movie numbers but if it appeals to anyone over the 10 and perhaps bring the OG Titans back, I think $100M can happen moreso than Smallfoot. It should make nice cash though.

Trailers especially. Storks and Ninjago could've benefited from better and more frequent marketing. Better dates would help too, they should stick to February, and try the mid May or early November spots. However I think ironically TTG outgrosses Smallfoot and can do $100M if good. If I were to predict now: TTG: $30M/$100M SF: $20M/$70M Lego 2: $60M/$200M Scooby: $40M/$130M

True but they need to market Scooby as well. WAG isn't the best at marketing and their future isn't the brightest. However I'm hoping for the best.

So do I. To be honest anything over $100M is a win for WB and WAG, since it'll likely be the only non Lego film to reach that mark unless TTG is decent and Smallfoot doesn't get screwed over like most WB animated September movies. However has their even been a time when a studio has two big movies in 2 back to back weeks (Scooby and GVK).

They planned on filming it this month in Atlanta.

I will laugh my ass off if it gets a sequel. Even harder if it's the 12/25/19 date, due to an old and reused joke.
