    18 rating is generally avoided especially for comedy, you make a lot more money from a 15 and I've noticed 12A is more the standard rating, a lot of action films unless they are incredibly violent or sweary tend to be 15.

    I imagine HTTYD3 will be pushed back a year and KFP3 will be moved from March to Summer. A lot of these dates and films will probably change. I can't see Dreamworks releasing an animated movie just a month later.

    A Sandler film can do well if it looks good like Grown Ups and Just Go With It, TMB just look horrendous.

    It's been a good summer overall considering The Olympics and football, it won't pick up until October which should be a jammed packed month with Taken 2, Madagascar 3, Skyfall etc

    I know Disney were trying to cut the costs of their live action films but it's going to be difficult for animated films but it's not a new problem as Sleeping Beauty was a lavish production that failed to make back its money so Walt Disney had to find cost cutting measure to continue producing animated films.I worry for Sony Pictures Animation as they've only had two hits but their films cost $100-110m.

    Probably depends what they have in development, I've noticed that a lot of the animation studios aren't afraid of doing a musical film anymore, we had Rio from Blue Sky and Lorax from Illumination so it was only a matter of time before Dreamworks did a musical film. Would love to see Pixar attempt one but it's not really their style.

    I fear it's going to overkill for audiences, four animated films in 2015 is pretty ambitious, I wouldn't be surprised if one or two films are pushed back, The Croods got pushed back from 2012 to 2013 and Guardians was originally slated for 2011 but got pushed to 2012.I think DWA needs to expand beyond animated movies, wonder if Katzenberg is looking into expanding into live action films either fully or hybrids.

    I think things will pick up next week, The Sweeney is out on Wednesday and there is a few films on Friday like Paranorman and Hope Springs.

    I suspect it'll do decently for a foreign film, It is the highest grossing non English language film so they'll be some interest. The Imposter is also having a good run considering its a documentary and only in a small number of cinemas.

    A Few Best Men could have done with more promotion and perhaps a better release date. September will be fine, its not a strong month for films but they'll be one or two £2m, I suspect it'll be The Sweeney, Looper or perhaps Resident Evil. I'm looking forward to Untouchable which I imagine will have a limited release.

    Diary of a Wimpy Kid's final total is impressive considering it's a kids film made on a $25m budget, I imagine Fox will make money from just domestic release and anything else is just gravy.How did TR and The Watch do Fri-Sun as The Dark Alfred's reported that Brave was ahead of both the Watch and TR but previews mean that it falls to 3.
  12. Jonwo
    The Watch had a seven day opening so £2.2m isn't great. Total Recall did okay for its five day opening. Brave is killing it at the moment but it'll have weaker weekdays due to schools going back.Next week, three openers in Anna Karenina, Dredd and That's My Boy. Not sure if any will open big. The week after, The Sweeney is released which may get interest due to the title.
  13. Jonwo
    That's not great considering the amount of publicity and the character being well known.
  14. Jonwo
    I think the person has valid points but to call the staff school drop outs is extremely rude.
  15. Jonwo
    Talking animal films tend to do well, when you consider that the most popular non sequel animated film is Finding Nemo and way before that it was The Lion King says it all really.
  16. Jonwo
    The Watch did pretty badly, Keith Lemon I can't see having legs, the WOM is pretty bad. Brave continuing its strong run and Ted and TDKR continue to chug along nicely. Only a handful of new films this week with the biggest being Total Recall on Wednesday, wonder how it will fare?
  17. Jonwo
    I do like Keith Lemon but I think it's a character that doesn't lend itself to film length. The Alan Partridge Movie should do much better when it released next August although it faces competition from Simon Pegg and Nick Frost's The World's End.
  18. Jonwo
    Good drop for Brave, Keith Lemon is doing worse than expected which is surprising. With no big releases next week, Brave could comfortably be number one for another week.
  19. Jonwo
    Gone with the Wind and also films like Star Wars, The Sound of Music and ET wouldn't be on that list due to inflation.
  20. Jonwo
    The DVD and Blu-Ray came out in April and even though Avatar had a great cinema run, Fox probably felt that if it had been in cinemas any longer, it would hurt the DVD/Blu-Ray sales. Titanic came out in a time when the home video was often a long time after the cinema release which isn't the case anymore.
  21. Jonwo
    I think it could had hit £100m but I think the arrival of Alice in Wonderland probably hurt it but I don't think that film would have been as successful had it not been released after Avatar.
  22. Jonwo
    Illumination isn't restricted to just animation so I guess they'll have a live action hybrid or maybe a fully live action film for summer 2014.
  23. Jonwo
    I think they should make it the final film and end it on a high. I've always humans to feature again as they've been absent since the first film and maybe feature Rosham, the baby from the first film as an adult.
  24. Jonwo
    Brave should outgross Cars 2 which IMO dissapointed but it did face Harry Potter and competition from The Smurfs. Brave has no similar competition, Ice Age 4 and The Lorax are well into their runs and there is no real competition until Paranorman in September.
  25. Jonwo
    Dredd's an 18 which could be its downfall, I imagine it'll be better than the 1995 film.2013 does look like another bumper year at the box office with films like Iron Man 3, Fast and Furious 6, Hangover Part III to name but a few. I'm personally looking to Man of Steel but don't know if it'll breakout but it looks promising.
