  1. Boggles my mind why Disney would create as their main attraction for Marvel land a character they do not own. Iron Man would have made the most sense. You can basically do the same things you would do for Spidey's ride with Iron Man or hell even Captain Marvel.

    They have only the little Mermaid (but i don't see it big as The beauty and the beast and the lion king but still over a 1B) and Mulan.

    Pinocchio, Snow White, Crudelia, The sword in the stone are more likely to make something between Dumbo and Cinderella (350-550M WW). 

    I'm sure there's more on the way and will be announced at D23. 

     

    You can bet with the money these soulless films make, they're definitely gonna greenlight more films.

    They don't and they shouldn't. Whether something is good is inherently subjective. We can only measure what is liked.

     

    My family talked about the reviews. They understood them, and didn't really disagree with them - but they ignored them. Their comment was they would have been upset if Disney had made any major changes to the story. I think in the end Disney largely delivered what the audiences wanted, not what the critics wanted.  A couple of my family members have seen the movie twice so far. Both times audiences clapped at the end of the movie - that's about as positive a response you can get at a movie.

     

     

    LOL and to think in the 80's and 90's that was the norm.

    Looking at my 1st local's set this upcoming weekend, I think the rumor of Disney terms being harsh for Lion King is probably true.  Even though TLK never sold out a single showing on the 6 screens last weekend, the theater still has the Lion King set for 6 screens this weekend.  I foresee a lot of empty seats coming...but it means the new opener really didn't get a large set (and now I'm wondering how long these screens need to be held)...and TLK has no excuse to not have a very good hold (could be an ugly box office weekend for year on year comparison if TLK really doesn't hold well)...

    Disney has a special deal with theaters to hold their films for 3 weeks in their biggest screens. This is their way of making sure their movies stick to the screens while new films from other studios get relegated to second hand screens.

    Aladdin was a film that NO ONE believed - myself included - that is about to break $1B WW. Like it or not, Aladdin is a box office success story, and it's bound to get sequels. First Will Smith's $1B film, if I'm not mistaken.

     

    It will still be playing in domestic theaters for the last leg of the Summer, just like Avengers: Endgame, the latter for obvious reasons. 

    Would prefer they skip Return of Jafar and go to The King of Thieves, much better film.

    Significantly? IDK. Maybe 57%? I don't think it will have staying power, but it's Disney after all. It might perform like an oversized Aladdin. Full disclosure, I haven't seen either and I will not do that in my home town crappy theater, neither I have the time to travel and watch somewhere else. I will catch on theaters an week or two from now. 

    Aladdin's probably heading out of theaters very soon I imagine.

  7. Imagine Disney making a shot for shot soulless live action remake of their most beloved animated film and it grosses well over a billion dollars. These live action films will never end. If I was Disney I'd find a way to meld them all together ala Kingdom Hearts or some other kind of Disney Live Action universe cause the money and interest is 100% there.

     

    Even with two rotten scoring live action remakes back to back audiences just don't seem to care what critics have to say.

    If TLK makes $90 m in wknd#2 then $600 m is guaranteed.

     

    If TLK makes between $85-$89 m then $600 m is likely but not guaranteed.

     

    Likewise, if TLK makes less than $80 m this coming wknd then I'd say that $600 m is not happening. But that's just me. Not guaranteed.

     

    If TLK somehow makes less than $75 m this coming weekend (HIGHLY unlikely) then $600 m is gone. $75 m means it's just not resonating with audiences enough to get to $600 m despite the RT audience score.

    Who the hell cares? It's gonna make over a billion, Disney sure doesn't.

    This is doing 250 million max 

     

    looney tunes is is nowhere near as popular as it was 20 years ago 

     

    Michael Jordan is much bigger than Lebron. 

     

    Nba finals ratings with bulls are much bigger than any nba finals with Lebron 

     

    jordan was a massive draw 

    No doubt this will not perform as well as the original.  For all the reasons you listed and it breaks my heart to say this but I think the same of Scooby Doo. It's just not as big as it used to be and that's entirely on the fault of terrible cartoons for SD after Mystery Inc which was amazing.

    The songs are in the movie, just not singing by the actors. 

     

    And Aladdin is a success because GP embrace it, Mulan could easily find similar reception even with online hate. 

    Songs are not the only thing that matters. 

     

    Aladdin added on characters but never replaced them or cut them. Mulan is cutting multiple characters and replacing Mulan's sidekick whom I argue is just as popular as Robin Williams Genie, Mushu.

    All these movies released within a very tight 4-months. You can check the schedule for 2020, 2021 or you can check the schedules for 2018,17 16 etc etc. You will never see such a stuffed 4 months summer. It's absolutely ridiculous. Compared to this summer the entire schedules of 2020 and 2021 you will find it pretty much empty. IMHO all these movies could have been spread across 2 years. I geninuely believe if some of the movies that flopped found themselves a better opening dates things could have been different and especially for Movies like Pika and King of the monsters + Pets 2

    I would love to know your logic behind saying Pikachu flopped especially compared to all the films you're comparing it too.

     

    Pikachu two weeks post Endgame when it was still a monster and had no IMAX screenings as well made 430 million WW. 142 DOM/287 OS

     

    Meanwhile movies like Godzilla and Dark Phoenix whom have the benefit of IMAX and none of their screens being taken away

     

    Godzilla - 103 DOM/263 OS = $367

    X-Men - 61 DOM/172 OS = $234

     

    So how is Pikachu consider a flop? Enlighten me please. It's right now the highest grossing film of WB this year and the highest grossing family film for WB since the first lego movie.

     

    Pikachu just didn't go past our insane expectations for it but it did not flop.
