I'd move Pan to October if I was the schedule maker. You heard me, October.

Since Jungle Book moved, that would be an excellent date. Kinda baffled Disney didn't swap Finest Hours and Ant-Man once they moved Jungle Book to April 15th, 2016. 

 

October 2nd or October 23rd. Possibly September 4th or 11th if WB wanted to challenge the notion that early September always has to be dead.

Disney has numbers to hit for their fiscal year 15.

Finest Hours ain't gonna do that. AntMan can.

As if Avengers 2, Tomorrowland, Cinderella and Inside Out aren't enough? lol Ant-Man could possibly "only" do $150-170 million. It won't be as big as GOTG since it doesn't have the team-up aspect and I have a feeling it won't be as high-quality as GOTG or Cap 2. Closer to Thor 2 or Iron Man 3. 

 

Makes more financial sense to put an adult-skewing thriller in a time of year where it will have minimal competition as opposed to directly before Disney's big Cold War thriller vying for Oscahs. Finest Hours might only do $20-25 million where it currently is since adults will have 3-5 different options to choose from. 

 

During summer or spring, Finest Hours would be by itself. 

 

Ant-Man would also secure October 2015's dominance over 2014, 2013 and others. Fall 2015 looks solid already though. I just want to see Pan or Ant-Man move there to liven up the Fall box office a bit.

I think it's too late for Marvel to move Ant-Man, yet again.

[Alpha]

Disney won't move Ant-Man to October unless post-production takes too long for it be completed by July. From Disney's perspective, a mid-July spot is invaluable.

The premise of this movie is really ORIGINAL or is it just me ?

Pretty original idea....trailer is quite funny....James and Sandler are pretty good together.  I think this will do quite well.

[Ethan Hunt]

The last joke in this trailer falls so flat, it's on eye roll level.

[baumer]

Yea, they should of had the Pac Man eat the creator, not just bite his hand.  But it still looks pretty funny.

Yeah, didn't work for me. Huge build up and...they fumble it.

[baumer]

Josh Gad is in this.

 

I'll see anything with Gad.  He never disappoints.

[Dementeleus]

Don't succumb to the Dark Side, baumer.

[Ezen Baklattan]

Josh Gad will bring out all of the Frozenites in droves.

[baumer]

Don't succumb to the Dark Side, baumer.

 

Not sure what you mean.  

[SchumacherFTW]

Josh Gad is in this.

I'll see anything with Gad. He never disappoints.

His dancing skills in The Wedding Ringer were something to behold lol

[baumer]

Gad elevates anything he is in imo.

 

Internship:  awesome cameo

Thanks For Sharing:  Criminally under seen and he was terrific in it

Love and Other Drugs:  Great comic relief

Frozen:  what needs to be said

Jobs:  Terrific

 

I have no doubt he'll be good in this too.

[SchumacherFTW]

He was a really good Woz in Jobs. Better than Kutcher was.

[CoolioD1]

considering it's basically the plot of a futurama episode... no?
