YM!

Reviews for this be like:

Odds are it'll be: - Coco - a Lego Movie (which to its advantage might get nominated since every other mainstream animated film is not best picture worthy) - an indie - another indie - maybe CU

I don't want to see this Saturday. 😥

I just read what seems to be like the only funny (and somewhat dirty ) joke in there from someone who saw it early but would it be a spoiler?

The best line from TheWrap's review is this: The one non-dispiriting aspect of the “Emoji Movie” experience was getting to see “Puppy!”, a new animated short set in the world of “Hotel Transylvania.” When Adam Sandler outclasses your high-concept, high-tech functions, it’s time to switch to a flip phone.

And are we really to believe that teen boy Alex never uses his eggplant emoji? TheWrap sums it up.

This is BOT. That's what we do.

Color me excited and piss colored

I decided to do something different for tracking animated movies. Instead of use the percent of tickets sold (since unless it's a major event it's hard to determine), I use the amount of showtimes for all Marcus Cinemas in Wisconsin. Emoji: 300 showings for Friday; (41 (13.6%) in a PLF (Ultrascreen/Superscreen/Big Screen Bistro/Ultrascreen DLX)

I think it depends on the movie. However I think they'll keep 3D for international audiences. But this will help sales domestically. Also two important notes I got from there: one is that they'll be more IMAX movies with less time staying in IMAX theaters which can help studios with family films like Illumination or Pixar or WAG to get Grinch, Incredibles, Lego 2, and other films into theaters. It can also help get horror movies into IMAX too like IT or Slenderman. The other note is movies filmed in IMAX will get longer windows to stay in IMAX like Infinity War or Dunkirk.

What's TLK?

I'm seeing this in 3. Let's see how 💩 this is.

This might turn out to be the next Norm of The North in terms of reviews.

Still SPA has done good non Aardman movies before HT1 and 2, Cloudy 1, and Surfs Up. But as much flack as we have to Illumination around here recently Illumination has been beating them quality wise, DM3 is better than Smurfs TLV. Pets was better than Angry Birds (not SPA technically but the sequel is), DM2 is better than all of SPA sequels. 2018 will be a nice rebound. They have two movies locked for a $100M+/$300M+ (HT3 and SMTAM)

For theaters near me with one PLF it's either Dunkirk. For the ones with 2-3 it's a blend of Emoji, Blonde, and Dunkirk, strangely one has the combo of Girls Trip, Emoji and Blonde.

Yeah. China has a not so good release for this it opens before Apes.

This is getting a China release on August 25th.

IW and Han Solo will be fine (since tbh Han Solo is likely going to do sub $400M due to competition and IW, although I see $450M will be frontloaded as hell), it's IW2 and IX that'll eat into each other's grosses even with double features.

Question: Anyone else with theaters with a PLF in it like RPX or Ultrascreen know if Emoji and Blonde gets these formats also.

It can benefit from Jumanji double features though. Coco is an either or situation. I'm thinking it won't be as big as Moana even with that Frozen tv special. Thinking $185M-$210M for Coco.

Because I babysit, my uncle recently asked me to take my little cousins to see it. July 29th will be a fun day.
