    Wouldn't they need another "Let It Go" to really explode (again)? Seems that might be hard to do on demand, can't make the lightning hit your bottle every time.

    Frozen II is gonna make crazy bank just because it's Frozen II. Another "Let It Go" would just be a bonus.

    Not sure if posted here but the end credits song will be called "Farewell Song" and sung by Demi Lovato again

     

    So that might be this sequel's Let It Go

     

    Hopefully I just hope this movie transcends that song and will be good regardless

  2. Is it just me or does anyone else think the 2016 clown sighting hysteria contributed to IT's box office success?

    I remember people were also speculating if it was just a publicity stunt for the movie

    That plus the uniqueness of having kids as the main characters (which also worked for Stranger Things, another huge breakout at the time) really makes IT a zeitgeist film

     

    So I hope no one is making huge expectations for this sequel and this movie shouldn't be seen as a disappointment if it doesn't surpass or stay flat from the first

  3. Can the GA remember the name of Leonardo's character in Inception?

    Sandra's character in Gravity?

    Matthew's character in Interstellar?

     

    Now that I think about it the only other original movie without any pre-exisiting fanbase or property in the top 25 highest grossing WW list right now

    is Frozen

    Elsa is probably the only "new" character this decade that the GA went crazy for and she's still loosely based off of The Snow Queen, sort of a B-list fairytale from a hundred years ago

    It's interesting how the lead has been lost by a story focussed movie to a technical breakthrough movie and then back again several times.

     

    Compelling and tense Jaws was topped by technical wizardry of Star Wars, then topped by heart-warming E.T., topped by technical breakthrough of Jurassic Park, topped by doomed romance movie of Titanic, topped by technical spectacle of Avatar, perhaps to be topped by character-heavy Avengers Endgame. (Star Wars has a lot of heart, and Titanic and Endgame have a lot of spectacle, but they weren't the movie's main selling point.)

     

    Star Wars, Jurassic Park, and Avatar stand out in my memory as the only times when technology leaped ahead to the extent that a movie really showed audiences something they had never seen before, and created a "must-see" event. And it's weird how they are spaced by 16 years.

     

    So Endgame to take the lead, then be topped by a technological breakthrough movie in 2025. Can't wait! 

    E.T. being in that list full of epic scale spectacles is so cool especially when u think about how most of the movie takes place in a small house lol

     

    It's such a universally touching story

  5. Endgame outgrossing Avatar WW could work in A2's favor

     

    Since Avatar is no longer at the top, the online hate bandwagon around it will finally calm down and mellow out a bit (just like what happened to Titanic) and people will be more open to seeing A2 if they hear good WOM from the GA (real life people who liked Avatar 10 years ago and never really hated on it online)

     

    Disney can still market it as a mega event cause I mean, it's still #2 and it's not like it didn't hold the record for 9 years

     

    Spoiler

    I might be on the bargaining stage at this point, it would still be surreal to see Endgame at the top spot
