YM!

@cayommagazine Thank You and Congrulations for our audience, the Academy and Our Fellow Studios from Endless Entertainment Endless Entertainment is ecstatic to have gained it's first Oscars win since Y6 when Gateways swept the categories, as Endless Animation took home both voice acting categories as Anika Noni Rose took home Best Lead Voice Actress and Isaac Ryan Brown took home Best Supporting Voice and Best Animated Feature in Matilda and the Night Children. Irving notes “Matilda is probably one of the proudest works to come out of Endless, earning it's place on the table with the likes of Gateways and Can You Imagine?” We want to also take the time to congratulate our various friends from other studios. @SLAM! Studio Groundswell took home Best Picture for The Mirage in a delightful upset, @MCKillswitch123’s Phoenix Fire Pictures won Best Actress from Jurnee Smolett’s excellent performance in American Spy, Best Original Song in Making You Care for Runaway Train, Acne and American Spy also racked up a nice sum of awards and took home Best Documentary Feature in The War on Drugs: America’s Modern Conflict, and @4815162342 Numerator Pictures took home a record amount of awards for the spellbinding hit The Queen Who Never Was. We would like to thank the audience and our friends for supporting us and hope to deliver a larger and a wider variety of films next year for Y10 and build further upon making great films.

Not feeling 1B for Flash and 400m for Across is too low even with Lord and Miller stuff not doing well OS. Flash has strong reactions that will likely help more because they're earlier but I don't see it getting there without China and some of the reactions point out some of the issues. Something like 400/900 at absolute best. Across thinking does somewhere between 240-300, and with the typical ratios that brings WW to 470-625 WW.

To the surprise of no one, Guardians is sounds great. Thinking it will have a solid rebound to like 125/320/650-700 which would be the lowest and probably not as much as Disney wanted but if budget is reasonable (150-200m vs 250m) should make a nice profit, and considering the diminishing returns CBMs have been having is solid. Also helps Marvel if this is great as they have to build back audience trust.

Yeah those three being good/great will help with whatever audience fatigue is there. By the time of Kraven and Marvels, if both are good they should both do very well.

The anti-Gunn DC crowd is fun on Twitter.

During the second Oscars Television Break

Yes.

Over Frozen 2?!

Yeah not sure how I feel on it. Sometimes it works in some shots in the teaser, other times it looks like TV animation. Not sure if the style they like will work but we’ll see. Was hoping something a bit more like Bad Guys in terms of CG/2D blending. Anyways, pretty confident this ends up being a hit. Enough to get Disney Animation/Pixar to bounce back come 2024. Seems like GA catnip. SpiderVerse aesthetic + big Disney musical with a clear villain with marketing trying to play up a comeback angle. Really good chance at doing Moana numbers.

Not a movie but the new Moon Girl cartoon does a good job at doing racial themes with humans for a kids show with the superhero background with gentrification being a common theme in episodes.

So incoming peak?

Ayoooooooo?!

I despise these remakes but Halle can sing and it looks like she is carrying it enough for me give it a chance.

Someone where there’s a middle between Pirates 5 and TGM, and judging by reactions I think it’ll be in there. Seems like the CBM lovers will love it and it’ll satiate the GA. Guessing 70-85% on RT, and pencil me in for 95/280/670, and if hype and marketing kick off 300+/750+.

Different demographics. Mario while a family film skewed male so it should be more frontloaded ticket sales wise compared to Mermaid.

How is Mermaid doing? And what are we looking for in terms of being good?

Rated with no trailer just two months until opening.

And I thought Quantumania was ugly lol. Why are these tentpoles looking uglier?

I’m expecting slower/at par. I do think it can be a bit backloaded like Aladdin was at first but also I do think Halle has a sizeable fanbase to drive up ticket sales.
