Nothing on RT at the moment, but Metacritic has THR, Variety and TheWraps's reviews up and it's currently 100, 80, 80 Edit: TheWrap's review is listed as 90

Toy Story 3 got $59M in Mexico when it released (adjusts to $39M now). So this would be the second. How fitting that both were directed by Lee Unkrich

I'm pegging this at $75M 5-day to a $225M DOM total. Would love to see it open between Moana and Frozen and be the biggest animated film of the year in North America but that does not seem likely at the moment. By the time this releases though, families are probably going to be starving for a big animated release and it will have been nearly 5 months since Despicable Me 3. I know that people said the same thing about Ninjago, but this looks to appeal to adults just as well as it does to kids. And I think we have a pretty good idea as to what will win Best Animated Feature at the Oscars.

Heck, the Olaf short attached to Coco has more views than Coco combined trailer view count, and that only had 1 trailer.

Only the first teaser garnered any significant amount of views for Coco, but even then that was less than Moana's first teaser. Moana's 2 trailers combined to around 13-15M at this point last year IIRC. Then again, the WDAS YouTube channel has about 3 times as many subscribers as the Pixar YouTube channel, so more people are notified when a new WDAS trailer goes up.

Lego Batman seems to be the most "likely" candidate at this point and that may get ignored due to it's super early release in the year. If reviews for Coco are stellar then that'll probably win. If they aren't, and Lego Batman doesn't get a nomination... then we're probably looking at the first year where a foreign animated film with a super limited release actually wins Best Animated Feature.

There's Little Mermaid (already mentioned by YourMother), though that's the only really big one left at the moment. There's also Pocahontas, Hercules, and Hunchback which I can see doing pretty good ($200-250M DOM), but not huge. Give it about 10-15 years and we might see Lilo & Stitch come back. Heck we might even see Pixar films being remade by then. Another 10 years we'll probably see remakes of all the Disney Revival films. I'd imagine a Big Hero 6 remake would probably just be part of the MCU if that's still around.

Yeah, I never truly understood why predictions were that high. Yes, it's Batman, but it's also an animated superhero movie and those do perform well, albeit softer than their live-action equivalents. Did not expect Lego Batman to go that far under $200M though

Normally I'd be weary since most of those people probably haven't watched the film yet, but in this case, I'd be surprised if that score moves up very much by the end of it's run, if at all, given these reviews.

Hillary's America has a 2 IIRC Out of 10209 films on Metacritic, The Emoji Movie currently ranks at 10184...

I do, but I always liked reading the consensus that Rotten Tomatoes usually puts up. It's amusing seeing the percentage of people who "want to see" this movie drop by the minute on Rotten Tomatoes, though

Yeah, I'd like even an actual phrase for a critics consensus. Simply putting in one emoji is kinda vague for me.
