YM!

In Milwaukee, the public schools go back in August 14th now.

It'll break even. TLV did $195M WW which seems likely for where it'll head (give or take $20M) and SPA was disappointed with the results. However a sequel may be out of the cards.

True. I wonder if they can pull of 4 movies in 2018, something not even DWA could do.

I'm thinking after Emoji's OW and/or The Star's OW, SPA might push some of their 2018 films back. Any thoughts @Jonwo?

Considering how big 2016 was for animation, I wasn't surprised for us to have a soft year in animation for 2017, similar to 2010 and 2011, me and @narniadis talked about this earlier in the year.

Here's a thought: SPA's last fully animated movie Hotel Transylvania 2 had about $170M domestic run, Smurfs finished at $45M, Emoji is looking at $70M-$80M, and if we assume The Star does $50M. Their combined total might be under HT2.

Agreed.

I wonder if it'll gross $70M+.

10 + 9.5 + 7.12 = $26.12M OW for Emoji.

I am planning on seeing in Sunday. Or Tuesday at the absolute latest.

I mean I tend to babysit them two to three a month and I often take them to the movies.

I do. But I like do something nice every now and then. Not to mention I change more for movies.

I had a babysitting job to take my little cousins.

It has the Disney marketing machine, and I'm curious how people would feel.

I agree. Their non Marvel/Lucasfilm live action slate sucks is just remakes, except for a few things like Wrinkle. I think it'd be nice if they resurrected Touchstone for their more darker films and their risks. I mean imagine if Disney/Touchstone did a big budget horror movie.

True. I mean don't get me wrong I like Marvel, Pixar/WDAS, and Lucasfilm but their live action slate sucks. It's almost always remakes. A good idea would be to revive Touchstone as their New Line Cinema for darker films maybe even venture into horror movies. Then it'd be complete Disney domination.

1.) Apes 2.) Logan 3.) Get Out 4.) Baby Driver 5.) Dunkirk 6.) John Wick 2 7.) Guardians 2 8.) Wonder Woman 9.) Split 10.) Spider-Man: Homecoming 11.) Gifted 12.) Lego Batman 13.) Valerian 14.) Kong 15.) Captain Underpants 16.) Power Rangers 17.) Fate of The Furious 18.) Alien: Covenant 19.) Despicable M3 20.) Ghost In The Shell 21.) Dog's Purpose 22.) Smurfs: The Lost Village 23.) Monster Trucks 24.) Beauty and The Beast 25.) Life 26.) King Arthur 27.) Transformers The Last Knight 28.) The Emoji Movie 29.) The Mummy

?

I have not but I've seen 50 Shades of Gray. Which cancelled plans for me to support a sequel.

They even used a Sony phone and Crackle.

Also @That Atomic Guy do you also think the short was better than Emoji too?

The more I think about Emoji, the more I hate it. I still debating where Emoji goes on the bottom 3 of 2017 between The Mummy and Last Knight.

Same.

I think IT will do $70M/$170M
