Better date. Pretty much confirms too that Scooby-Doo isn't making its planned release spot.
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

Does WAG itself do any animation or is it all contracted out like how Animal Logic did Lego Movie?
All contracted, they do storyboards and designs in Burbank but the animation is done elsewhere.

April seems fit for Smallfoot. Besides WAG comes up with the writing while another studio animates the movie so they can have budgets under $80M (Sony Imageworks did Storks and Animal Logic is doing the Lego franchise.)
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 is based on an existing Warner Bros IP? SCOOB isn't?
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.
5 minutes ago, YourMother said:If Smallfoot keeps its release date it'll do anywhere from Storks numbers to barely over $100M, so it'll likely move. SCOOB should move to Jungle Book: Origins spot, if good $150M+ domestic wouldn't surprise me.
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.

WAG has a bright future in the world of mainstream animation.
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.

Yeah, the critics loved it. That bodes really well for its numbers because I think it's going for a little more adult audience than your typical animation.
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,

We're sold out already for Friday night and almost there's on Saturday. Could do £6m+
Half of the first film's OW would be a success for Universal.

Lego Batman will break out big time once the word of mouth gets out. It's really good.
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

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

The Lego Movie had cameos from characters from different franchises so I'm not surprised Lego Batman has them too

Alvin 4 did $85M when it opened against TFA. Ferdinand will either do the same or perhaps better.
Depends on Jumanji, I think Rio numbers is doable

Warner Animation Group will be next Top animation studio
DWA is so weak these days.Lego batman will have a long-term run.
I think WAG needs a hit that isn't Lego or based on an existing franchise before they can challenge the big studios

Yeah we're OK on Lego Batman but not fantastic. About half of the Sing previews.
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.

Seems about right although it wouldn't surprise if they switched release dates for SCOOB with Jungle Book: Origins.
Possible, SCOOB could benefit from Halloween but it would face The Grinch 3 weeks later

If Lego Movie sequel comes out in 2019, Billion Brick Race was supposed to be released 5/24/19 but got replaced by Minecratt so it'll likely be moved to 2020 likely with an WAG original, Lego Batman 2 at earliest could come 2020 if they want to delay Billion Brick Race, but 2021/2022 seems likely.
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

Don't be surprised for Lego Batman Movie 2 for 2021, if the film performs well.
Wouldn't 2020 be more likely?

It won't open as high as the previous Lego films but I think it could comes close to breaking HT2's September record
