  1. I've always thought the Glendale building was a tad overindulgent but I guess DWA were on a roll until recently,
  2. I agree but I don't think they could slash their budget to $75m without closing down the main Glendale campus and outsourcing everything to China and India and apparently the studio in India hasn't been all that successful, Penguins of Madagascar was originally meant to be animated solely in India but fell behind schedule so they needed help from PDI which increased the budget. It's amazing how films like Storks, Pets etc can have almost half the budget of a DWA film but still look decent.
  3. It wouldn't be the first time they've had an older Barbara Gordon and a young Dick Grayson, The Batman animated series did it before,
  4. I think DWA has to accept the days of big OW are likely over for now. They've had a better year this year even with KFP3 underperforming and Trolls will be profitable and get a Netflix spin-off but no sequel.
  5. Given how SFX heavy Doctor Strange is, it's not surprising the budget is over $165m, I imagine now Ike has been banished from the MCU, Feige can ask for bigger budgets. It'll be interesting how Thor will fare next year since it'll face Justice League two weeks later, it'll is the first time that WB and Marvel have had films in the same month.
  6. The movie tie ins are Lego's most lucrative sets, the Star Wars sets saved the company.
  7. Considering OLS has double the capacity, to not even be the top fifteen isn't good. That's true, I imagine Cineworld LS has eaten into its attendance thanks to the IMAX screen showing the same film which would have been been exclusive to OLS.
  8. BFI IMAX is still the one to beat considering it's limited by showtimes and capacity. Cineworld LS did very well to beat OLS, where did that chart?
  9. I think the top five were all £30m including Inbetweeners 2 and Dawn of the Planet of the Apes but nothing broke out in a big way.
  10. 2014 was a terrible year for blockbusters, The Hobbit, Paddington and The Lego Movie saved that year
  11. For a period gangster film, that's pretty good and it's on par with the budgets of Sully and American Sniper. I thought it would be closer to $100m budget wise.
  12. Sing doesn't need a huge opening thanks to the holidays, it could have a $45m 3 day opening and still get to $200m+. I don't think the final trailer was as good as the previous trailer but I think it look like a better film than Pets, going for a different director and writer makes it seem less formulaic. It won't make as much OS as Pets but it will be profitable. I
  13. DC Rebirth has been hugely successful and i imagine WB hopes Johns can do the same for the DCEU. Losing Famuyiga is not good but it seems the split is amicable, the new director must be announced soon, I wouldn't be surprised if it was a clash of visions similar to what happened with Michelle MacLaren on Wonder Woman.
  14. Doesn't The Flash have no release date at the moment, it was replaced by Tomb Raider so I have a feeling this might have happened a while ago but they've sitting on the news,
  15. Inferno is to Sony what Bridget Jones was to Universal, a film made primarily made for overseas and domestic is just gravy. It'll break even or perhaps scrape a profit but I think this is it for the Langdon series
  16. MGM have a better relationship with WB, they haven't yet partnered on a film with Universal
  17. I have a feeling that Bond will go to Warner Bros, Sony made very little profit despite funding the majority of the budget and handling P&A
  18. The lower budget suggests that Sony knew it wasn't going to make money domestic, it's already over $100m OS so it'll be profitable even with a low domestic total
  19. Considering it's not a sequel, £9-10m would be great for a Marvel film.
