It won't open as high as the previous Lego films but I think it could comes close to breaking HT2's September record -
Scooby Doo might remain there but i won't be surprised if it swaps release dates with Jungle Book Origins
-
I would guess Amusement Park moves to August. HT3 doesn't strike me as a summer film
-
4DX is better than D-Box but I don't think it's as widespread in North America compared to the UK
-
All contracted, they do storyboards and designs in Burbank but the animation is done elsewhere.
-
Reel FX, who have done the animation for films like The Book of Life, Free Birds and also animated specials and shorts is animating SCOOB, I'm not sure who is animating Smallfoot. Using existing Warner Bros characters like Batman, Scooby Doo etc does give WAG a leg up plus from WB's POV it breathes new life into a franchise. It's the reason they're developing films based on The Flintstones, The Jetsons etc along with original ideas and adaptations like Bone.
-
Storks was original but I think if Smallfoot doesn't do well, WB may stick with Lego and movies based on characters from their animated library. I'm not sure where Smallfoot could go, it may just stay put. I think SCOOB likely will go to October, there's no way HT3 is budging from its September slot.
-
I think they've got potential but i really want to see have a successful film that isn't Lego or based on a existing Warner Bros IP. It'll be interesting how SCOOB and Smallfoot do.
-
It's more adult skewing in its humour compared to something like Sing, there's a few jokes that kids won't get.
-
£2.4m is pretty solid for Lego Batman,
-
Half of the first film's OW would be a success for Universal.
-
I wouldn't be surprised if it beats Fifty Shades Darker next weekend minus previews. Speaking of Fifty Shades, I'm not expecting to do anywhere near the OW of the original but £4-5m is likely with a spike on Valentine's Day. There's too much competition in the coming weeks for it to have any legs

Leap! | Eric Summer & Éric Warin | August 25, 2017

This isn't making $20-30m, not with Beauty and the Beast two weeks later and The Lego Batman Movie likely doing solid business still at that point. $10-15m if it's lucky -
According to Ian Sandwell, Sing retains number 1 with £3.8m with £14.6m total which is around a 40% drop excluding previews so it looks Lego Batman did dent it.
-
The Lego Batman Movie is really good, there are plenty of gags and homages to the Batman universe.
-
I'm seeing it tomorrow and if it's on par with Storks, WAG will be 3 for 3 in my opinion. They seem to have taken a more zany approach to their films and it works surprisingly well

Ferdinand | 12/15/17 | Blue Sky - JOHN CENA IS FERDINAND
Jonwo replied to CJohn's topic in Box Office Discussion
Depends on Jumanji, I think Rio numbers is doable -
As good as The Lego Movie?
-
I think WAG needs a hit that isn't Lego or based on an existing franchise before they can challenge the big studios
-
Thats still pretty solid for Lego Batman, that would be £2.1m for previews if it translates nationally and it still has half term coming up. Sing has probably taken the wind a little out of Lego Batman as well.
-
Possible, SCOOB could benefit from Halloween but it would face The Grinch 3 weeks later
-
My guess for the WAG slate is: September 22nd: Lego Ninjago February 9th 2018: Smallfoot February 8th 2019: The Lego Movie Sequel September 27th 2019: Scooby Doo February 7th 2020: Lego Batman 2 September 25th 2020: Original WAG film February 5th 2021: Billion Brick Race
-
Wouldn't 2020 be more likely?
-
WAG seems to have delievered again with The Lego Batman Movie,
