What I don't get is why would increasing showtimes suddenly make people want to see it after 3 months? I hope it gets boosted to push it above JW because the latter had a 6-7m boost that will erase all of the margin between the two. And then it comes out on Disney+ and will probably tank.

Which animated film will beat Inside Out 2?

If the caveat is assume everything is good, then all of them could do it. -
Sorry, messed up the numbering, I meant SW7 leading into SW8. The difference is that, and you can argue otherwise but this is what they said, Pixar aims to target everyone not just kids. It's why they don't make or they did not use to make movies that Dreamworks and the others did. They wouldn't make Boss Baby or Captain Underpants. Plus the original Incredibles exists so your argument doesn't work. The original didn't become worse over time. It has held up very well and given that it is better than most superhero movies now, I'd say its esteem has grown. Its sequel was dated on arrival being generic and a generally poor superhero movie that threw out the points of its predecessor. In any case, being nostalgic doesn't mean the original movie isn't any good and is reliant on nostalgia.

What did Star Wars 9 receive? Yet there was a massive drop off with SW10. I've seen a number of these four quadrant blockbusters with great legs that were actually mediocre crap and been uninterested in the sequels. Black Panther, Captain Marvel etc. Obviously I am biased from my own reviews of these sequels (Frozen, TI2) but in the intervening years, they can be directly compared to their original films and whatever hype or nostalgic bias or whatever else will wear off. Pretty sure that their streams on Disney+ are also behind the originals, at least for Frozen. It's like how kids think lots of terrible family movies are great until they grow up. Incredibles just loses the plot and character development and even the point of the first movie. Frozen never needed a sequel and the story was dogwater. And now they want a third and a fourth to tell the full story? lol It's basically driven by Iger not the creatives. I'm hopeful for the reception of 2023 to Disney sequels to strike all these unnecessary shlock. I won't write Pixar off completely until I see the trailers but I don't need to see anymore of Mufasa, Snow White, Frozen to know what the driving force behind them is.

Years ago, like 20 years at this point, interviews from that period, that's what the Brain Trust said. I remember because I believed in the message lol. It was why no sequel was made besides TS2. Then they got bought by Disney and while Toy Story 3 was perfect, Cars 2 came next and the philosophy was basically trashed.

And conveniently they have the Snake character. I suppose there's some misdirection or whatever present but still. The world is very lived in so I'll always give it a pass compared to the likes of Frozen, Incredibles and Dory but WDA should have followed the old Pixar mantra - does the story need to be told? Hopefully that answer will be yes next year.

08/09 WEEKEND: DP&W 53.8, IEWU 50, Borderlands 8.6 💣💣💣
BK007 replied to AniNate's topic in Numbers and Data
The Numbers predicted a $75m weekend for Deadpool lol. I don't want his site to die but how on Earth can he charge people for whatever reports he makes when his weekly predictions are so awful and he seems either oblivious to it or unable to fix his model. -
Looks as bad as every one of these Disney live action movies. Creatively bankrupt company. Iger is a real clown.

Elio | June 13, 2025 | Pixar | Domee Shi (Turning Red) directs
BK007 replied to Eric Ripley's topic in Box Office Discussion
The vibe from the trailer released awhile back puts it in Onward/Home territory than Luca or Turning Red. Looks thoroughly safe and mediocre - and given that it was seemingly reshot, clearly it wasn't very good either. The premise is just not very strong to begin with so it's always going to be an uphill battle and Strange World and Wish have shown that there is no bottom for an unappealing looking movie.
