Who are you?!!!

Where's Tele? What have you done to him?!

It speaks volumes about the rest of the presentation.

That's why I can't see it doing big money. It might open at over 30 million, which isn't going to be easy. With people seeing Ant-Man, Pan, Paper Town, Minions and Train-wreck still. But even if it does, with Mission Impossible 5 and Fantastic Four opening the next two weeks. It's going to drop off, they should have maybe moved this to mid August or came out with it in mid April.

I doubt Fantastic Four is going to be a huge factor period.

I haven't been excited about an Adam Sandler movie since Waterboy... until now.  This looks hilarious!

 

Maybe this won't do well with all the competition, but if it's good, maybe it'll be a sleeper hit.

This looks just too cute and funny, especially Donkey Kong! I didn't know anything about this movie, but now I can't wait.

Sold sold sold sold sold sold sold sold sold sold sold! This is sooooooo my kind of movie!

[Jandrew]

Competition? You guys seriously think PAN will hurt this? That is if it doesnt move to the holidays. Pixels is even more original and i teresting than Ant Man. We havent seen something like this, itll be a big draw. Did yall not see the giant Pac Man?

MI5 isnt a direct casualty either. I wouldnt be suprised if this finished 2nd for July, after Minions of course. Pan may not even do Annie numbers.

Remember, its summer, and a hot summer at that...nothing doesnt have competition.

[SchumacherFTW]

I'm kinda feeling at least $50m OW for this. Seems like the sort of thing that's going to capture the public's imagination.

[TLK]

This is a $100 million movie. It will have to be really bad (even by Sandler standards) to bomb. This also has a completely different audience from movies like Trainwreck, Pan, Paper Towns etc. Ant-man will be direct competition but let us not pretend that it has some tremendous buzz and anticipation even if it is Marvel.

I love the idea! VIsually looks great too!

And then there is Sandlers face, his pals, and they throw around hyper unfunny un-jokes and all magic is gone. I would love to see this movie, but made by somebody funny. 

[BadAtGender]

I watched Knights of Badassdom earlier today. Dinklage was easily the most badass and engaging part of the film and he died halfway through.

 

Hollywood needs to get its shit together and offer him better parts.

[Talkie]

There was an ad for this on TV last night. It looked surprisingly funny, despite the fact that I can't stand Sandler and find the others unfunny. With good marketing to the '80s crowd it might do well, regardless of the critical reception.

[goldenstate5]

My one hope for this is that it succeeds well enough to convince Disney that there is a market for videogame films so we get a sequel to Wreck-It Ralph.

 

Yeah basically my reaction. It looks... neat? This is either going to be a huge hit or this summer's RIPD.

[LexJoker]

Nice concept. Decent trailer.

[Jay Beezy]

Very curious to see how the Pac Man chase ultimately looks. Hope those guys watched Tokyo Drift enough and fitted their cars with NOS.

 

The question is will Pac Man have those seeds he can eat where the ghosts turn dark blue and edible?

If this is $100M then look at what would happen if it replicated his last few films:

 

Blended - would be a disaster

Grown Ups 2 - would just about be fine

That's My Boy - would only just gross half the budget = bomb of all bombs

Jack and Jill - would be a bomb

Just Go With It - OK but not exactly a hit

Grown Ups - would be a success

Funny People - would be a huge bomb

[filmscholar]

The trailer started out a little chessy but by the end I was sold.  I mean I grew up on these games.  

[Kalderic]

As I mentioned elsewhere. I get a Lego Movie vibe from the trialer... I think its just the concept and the fact that it reaches to the older crowd through accessing their childhoods, but looks exciting and colorful enough to make kids excited for it as well.

[Ezen Baklattan]

An Adam Sandler movie looks more interesting than an MCU film.

 

Pack your bags, folks. The apocalypse is coming.

That's what I was thinking.  That would be hilarious.  They could also lure him with giant cherries or strawberries or something.
