I'm wondering this too. I'm guessing it won't go wide. Even the most premium platform releases are struggling to make money. Still a long way to go for these films.
How unexpected is that??
Still puzzled over NTTD. I mean, I know the reasons floating out there, but still surprised at the end of the day. Thought the film would get more of a "last hurrah" at the box office.
On another note though: what an October!
To add to this: I think Indy 5 should move to Memorial Day weekend. Those movies have a MD weekend history with the exception of the first one only, I think.
Agree here. In fact, I think there's going to be a lot of reshuffling in 2022. Throughout the pandemic studios just needed dates to stash the films they delayed. Now that things are getting back on track they're going to start to reorganize. No way Avatar 2 and Aquaman 2 open on the same date. I can buy them both opening close together over the holidays but the same date? Nah.
Depressing.... How anyone can compare even a top notch home theatre system to an actual movie theatre is beyond me. People just don't want to leave their homes for anything.
Thank you for explaining that! Yes that paints a horrible picture for Ron's Gone Wrong. Animated movies usually aren't the ones plugged into that small auditorium at the back corner of the theatre unless they're months into their runs. They need a good set of showtimes and screens.
All that to say, this one is destined to fail....
I like this. I agree 100%. It applies to the current situation in the world in general. We can't keep delaying and hiding all that. Just have to gradually put one foot before the other and move forward. People will be encouraged to go back to the movies again after a steady stream of these movies releasing. If they don't and keep getting delayed it sort of perpetuates the feeling that things will never be normal again, if that makes sense.
I'm a little concerned at how little business this will do. The Addams Family 2 is doing okay I guess, but families still aren't showing up en masse for animated films. Hopefully I'm wrong and this succeeds, which would bode well for Encanto being the first big animated film in a long time.
I'm glad I'm not the only one here, though I'm not going to wade into this subject. I finally found a place that discusses what I love so I'm just going to enjoy that, especially since I can't go watch any of these films in theatres for obvious reasons....
I've been looking forward to this since last year when the first trailer was released! I hope it'll be opening fairly wide, though I have my doubts. The Numbers site has this opening wide on their movie schedule but I don't really trust them. Their schedule has been all over the place.
