    Reviews are going to make it or break it on Saturday.
  2. JWR
    I'll bet he is
  3. JWR
    Then again, they opted not to show Lightyear at Cannes, so...

    We'll find out on Saturday.

    As always, Pixar movies will live and die based on word of mouth. This has the unfortunate job of needing to be their "comeback" after Lightyear.
  6. JWR
    At this point, I think they'd settle for this movie breaking even.

    I don't know if Justice League is a good example. They could have thrown the Teen Titans and Justice Society in that movie, yet it still would have had to pay for the sins of people not liking BvS.

    The latter is what especially sank him.
  9. JWR
    It still might.

    Three things have to go right for this movie just to have a chance at success: 1. The final stretch of marketing in the next 3 weeks reaches enough of the GA to put in on their radar 2. Enough people need to be in search of a non-blockbuster, light breezy family film they can take their kids to 3. The word of mouth needs to be stellar.

    What else can they do?

    To be fair, this was only two years after Sony used Nickelback....

    Conversely, pushing the immigrant stuff would just make it look too serious or have be accused of "woke."
  15. JWR
    And Inside Out used "Sweet Emotion."

    This could backfire big time if the reception isn't stellar...
  17. JWR
    Why did anyone seriously think that this was going to be PG-13? Especially after the first one still managed to get a PG rating despite being a bit more mature than your average family film.

    Sorry about getting side tracked. Anyways, I bet WB is happy with that Flash OW forecast.

    DeSantis has all the charisma of a paper bag, his political instincts have proven to be lacking, and there's little about him that people outside of far right crazies in FL find appealing. We should still take him seriously, but he's not invincible.

    The folks at Pixar can only hope.

    Looks generic but has a straightforward premise. It seems like back-to-basics Pixar and doesn't seem to be confusing people like Lightyear was.
  23. JWR
    That's why I don't see it collapsing like Lightyear did. Minions 2 stole all the oxygen in the room and delivered what families wanted from an animated Summer movie. Ruby Gillman could surprise, but that has even less awareness than Elemental does now.
  24. JWR
    Aren't all Pixar trailers like this? Basic premise, looks derivative or weird, then the movie usually takes people by surprise.
  25. JWR
    I guess. Maybe you'll be right? We'll just have to find out.
