I have never been a huge Toy Story fan and this movie seemed like too much for me, don't get me wrong I think Toy Story 1,2&3 are pretty excellent but I have always preferred The Incredibles, Finding Nemo or Ratatouille. Now after these reviews and after loving Incredibles 2 I am really excited to watch this. Now please Pixar after Toy Story 4 bring me a lot of original movies + Incredibles 3 until at least 2025

Spain and Italy love Disney Live Action movies. Dumbo did amazing in Spain, a bit less than half of what Endgame is going to end up with. Not comparable but it's like if Dumbo would have done $400m DOM

I watched this the other day and it was pretty solid. Has more quality than Bohemian Rhapsody but this last one feels more like a crowd pleaser. Really didn't understand the controversy with the gay scenes, like do those scenes really create that amount of controversy? People are stupid.

I am really excited about this movie, I think it can be as good as Zootopia. If the quality for the new Pixar and new WDAS movies for next year are as good as their latter original films (Coco, Moana, Zootopia, Inside Out) then I think they will be big hits.

I'd watch a remake of Brother Bear since I loved that movie, but I think it'll work better as a potential Disney+ film. Remakes such as this, Lady and the Tramp or Fox and the Hound would be nice for Disney+.

The problem with Disney's 00 movies is that ones that could need a live action (Treasure Planet and Atlantis) were financial flops for the studio so I doubt they remake them. Lilo & Stitch could work but I doubt it'll make a lot of money

For me Aladdin's most difficult task was to bring the Genie into live action and put musical performances like Friend Like Me or Prince Ali into live action. Ironically that is the best part of the movie. I know many of you hate Disney live action films but for me as long as I enjoy them I will watch them (and yes I watch a huge amount of original movies as well so I don't just watch remakes or sequels). I'm interested in the following live action movies Disney has confirmed or could make: - The Little Mermaid - Mulan - Tarzan - The Hunchback of Notre Dame - The Sword in the Stone - Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs - Pinocchio - Hercules - Atlantis - Treasure Planet - The Black Cauldron - Sleeping Beauty (evil Maleficent this time) - Peter Pan Maybe I'm forgetting something but those are the movies I could see doing well in a live action, the rest are difficult to pull off IMO or I have no interest and it's damn to early for movies from 2010 onwards.

Aladdin deserves to make money, Will Smith and Naomi Scott were outstanding in this. Too bad Disney fucked up with marketing and release date, this could have easily been a +300m DOM movie. The budget is $183m, almost same as Maleficent ($180m) and Dumbo ($170m Wtf). Maleficent did $758m WW and was considered a huge success, I agree this movie should have made more (specially when BATB made $1.26b) but it's not going to be the bomb some of us were predicting a few weeks/months ago

Everyone says 2020 looks like a really bad year at the Box Office, which is true, but I am actually really excited for next years. There are a lot of new original movies (Onward, Tenet, Jungle Cruise, Scoob...) that thanks to a not so good year they can have the potential to be really big hits. Another good thing IMO is that we will have a lot of surprises, even the sequels to successful movies (WW1984, Venom 2, Minions 2, Fast 9) are not guaranteed to increase over their predecessors. Even Marvel movies are a wild card next year (I hope The Eternals breaks out). Lastly, I think Cruella is going to do really good over christmas if they pull it off. My Predictions for 2020 DOM (Of the movies I can remember now, will update later): 1. Wonder Woman 1984: $419m (I see a small increase, similar to THG:CF) 2. Onward: $347m (I could see this doing similar to Zootopia) 3. Mulan: $282m (If they keep the songs of the original) 4. Black Widow: $277m (I see TWS numbers adjusted for this, although can go higher, really depends on details of the movie) 5. Cruella: $261m (No competition over Christmas and can co-exist with The Croods 2) 6. Tenet: $253m (Nolan) 7. Birds of Prey: $248m (Suicide Squad was pretty disliked so I think it will hurt it, but again it has Harley Queen so big it'll be a big hit) 8. The Eternals: $240m (This would be my initial prediction but really want +300m DOM for this) 9. Dragon Empire: $236m (Disney Original Movie) 10. Godzilla vs Kong: $234m (This will be big OS) 11. Fast 9: $223m 12. Minions 2: $202m (I see a huge drop from Minion's $336m DOM, but will be insane OS) 13. James Bond 25: $195m 14. Venom 2: $189m (Small decrease DOM, small increase OS) 15. Jungle Cruise: $176m (Could do decent, depends on budget) 16. The Croods 2: $160m (Too late for this movie IMO, but we shall see) 17. Scooby: $141m (I want this to break out, don't disappoint me WB) 18. A Quiet Place 2: $130m (Decrease)

I do remember both 1996 Dalmatians remake and Pete's Dragon. I didn't include the first one because for me it is not part of the new live action remakes since it was 14 years before Alice started this trend, plus next year Disney is going to release Cruella. As for Pete's Dragon it is not part of the animated Disney Classics so I did not include it. I used to love 1996 101 Dalmatians as a kid and I really liked Pete's Dragon, so i haven't forget about them.

I saw this yesterday. My expectations were pretty low so I was actually surprised at how entertaining it was. I never felt bored and the movie was actually good in most moments. The Genie, Aladdin and Jasmine delivered, everyone else is kinda meh and I didn't like Jafar at all. The movie has some flaws but not even close to the negativity it's been getting over the internet. For me the most important things were the musical performances and I think they nailed all of them and Speechless was good too. My audience liked it a lot so I think this is going to get a good response from general audiences. Updated Live Action rank: 1. The Jungle Book 2. Cinderella 3. Aladdin/Beauty and the Beast 4. Beauty and the Beast/Aladdin 5. Maleficent 6. Dumbo 7. Alice in Wonderland Original animated movies rank (only those that got a live action): 1. Aladdin 2. Sleeping Beauty 3. Beauty and the Beast 4. The Jungle Book 5. Cinderella 6. Dumbo 7. Alice in Wonderland

Of course 700 would be nice for this movie. It has a $175m budget so it'll actually be a good result but kinda sad that it could have made more with different release date and director. This could have dominated 2020 with how pale next year looks in respect to other years (although I'm really excited about having Pixar and Disney animated originals).

I think this will do pretty similar numbers to Pirates 5 DOM and WW ($150-200m DOM / $700-800m WW). Not a disaster but this would have done +$400m DOM and +$1,1b WW in 2020 with a better director and a better cast for some characters (e.g. Jafar).

Other Non-Disney 2019 movies that have a chance at $400m DOM, along with my actual prediction (might be missing something): - Jumanji 3 (Jumanji 2 surprised everyone and did $404m): $360m - Joker (Trailer was huge and if it is good then this will blow up): $330m - Spider-Man: Far From Home (another MCU lol): $355m - Secret Life of Pets 2 (This is destined to decline but we can't ignore the $370m that first one did): $280m - Cats: $455m (Nah just joking...) Honorable mentions: - It: Chapter 2 - Pika Pika (This has no chance) Can't remember anything else

Penguins still have a chance to pull those late legs

Dude, it was a joke. I would also prefer if Endgame would cross TFA and rooting for it.

Disney right now reading the comments that Endgame will have to settle for #2 DOM instead of beating their other #1 movie

MCU Phase 3 has been insane. I remembered when Civil War finished with $408m people were saying Infinity War had no chance to top Avengers (2012) and some even said it was going to drop from Civil War. Now here we are with Endgame with ~2.2B WW and $620m DOM after 10 days, unbelievable. Also damn at MCU 2018 vs 2019, I thought 2018 was huge for them but 2019 is even gonna be better $700m vs $430m $678m vs $850m (let's be pessimistic) $216m vs $330m (let's say it stays flat from Homecoming) $1,594m vs $1,610m So unless FFH is much lower than expected or Endgame drops harder than Civil War, 2019>2018.

Comic-con 2019 for Marvel could be big with Phase 4 reveals.

Also as if there was any doubt before, this weekend completely seals the conversations about #1 movie DOM and WW on 2019. This makes me more excited about Summer 2019, specially May with Endgame, Detective Pikachu, John Wick 3, Aladdin, Godzilla, Ma and Rocketman. Really curious how they'll coexist

Holy shit at that opening DOM and WW for Avengers: Endgame, totally deserves it. Don't know how high it'll go but will definitely be there to witness it. Marvel has done history. I loved Endgame even more on my second watching (my favourite MCU movie). As for the talk about GOT affecting Endgame, both of them have huge audiences but don't think they will impact each other at all. Everyone who wants to watch GOT will have seen Endgame by then or will watch it later. Plus Endgame has proven to be such a massive phenomenon that there'll be spillover + people that do not watch GOT and were going to watch Endgame on Sunday.

How do you think this will perform? I absolutely loved the first. I can see this increasing similarly to what Catching Fire increased from Hunger Games, although not that much OS. $149m OW / $425m DOM / $964m WW

OMG Yaaaaaasssssssssss!! Really difficult to be as good as the movie though

I don't think Dumbo is flopping but it isn't doing great either. I always thought this remake could bring some money (smth like $150-170m DOM / $400-450m WW) but only if Disney kept the budget "low". After watching the movie, they could have kept the budget similar to Cinderella's ($95m) and not $170m. Also Disney really needs to space out these remakes a bit more (2 per year), promote them as events and make sure the movie is going to be loved by audiences like they did with 'The Jungle Book' and 'Beauty and the Beast'. Yes I know this last one is hated around here but audiences loved it, I mean it made $504m DOM and $1.2b WW and legs were really good, people may have forgotten about it but it was huge when it came out and helped to increase popularity for the Disney classic. Off topic: I'm getting really tired of these Wonder Woman-Captain Marvel comparisons. Can people not just like both? I mean I though one film was better than the other but really happy both of them did so huge cause I am a fan of both.

Watched this yesterday and really liked it. I love these movies that have you thinking about the ending and don't explain everything. I saw the twist coming right at the beginning when they did not show Lupita's character returning to her parents but I did not expect everyone to have a tethered and their plan either. I appreciated in that aspect that they did not reveal it on the trailers (or at least the ones I saw) because I watched Get Out's trailer recently and was surprised at how much they reveal, basically the whole movie. Now I have a few questions that I know most of them don't have an answer (or maybe I missed it), maybe I'm overthinking this but after all this is what these movies are made for, to discuss the blank spaces that weren't clear. 1. The clones (or however you wanna call them) ate the rabbits to survive but wtf did the rabbits eat? They must have had some water and food for them too. 2. Where did they get all the red jumpsuits and scissors from? 3. I know the movie was only focussed on one family and their experience but you are telling me that no one we saw outside of the main family survived? I mean I can understand normal families dying but what about police officers or just simply people who have access to a gun (which in the US there are a lot, unfortunately), they had guns and the others had scissors
