cheesypoofs Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 If JW and IO can co-exist, I think this and WW will definitely be able to, even if not on as big of a scale as JW/IO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arlborn Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Surprisingly solid reviews so far, that's always nice to see. I hope it does fine even though I have zero interest in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to think the best for this but I'm not sure I think nostalgia from the books and good reviews should be enough anticipation for this. A performance similar to either Kung Fu Panda 3 or Trolls would be great for this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

franfar Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 From Variety Film Review: ‘Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie’ Quote The animation in “Captain Underpants” has a softly popping candy-colored sheen. It’s a very pleasing concoction to look at, and it zips along infectiously, but viewed next to something like “Trolls” or “Finding Dory,” it’s a trifle of a movie. Hart, although he makes his personality felt, doesn’t really get the chance to bust loose. Yet “Captain Underpants” isn’t out to be more than a trifle; that’s part of its appeal. It’s not so much potty-mouthed as it is a potty-minded kiddie burlesque, one that finds the supreme innocence in naughtiness. Sounds like kids should enjoy watching this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it'll do quite that much. 35/115 maybe? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This movie doesn't feel as anticipated. Hence why I said just not on as big of a scale. I don't think WW is going to be JW either. I just think that the two should be able to co-exist just fine.

I didn't think Boss Baby was going to be as big as it was and so far this seems to be a much superior film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheesypoofs Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 We haven't had a really big weekend in a while. Call me an optimist, but I think the stars are about to align for WW and CU. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheesypoofs Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 8 reviews now. Still at 100%. 5 of the 8 are top critics. (*insert the eyes emoji*) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiccup23 Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 This really has a prime release date for a family film. I would be surprised if this opens less than 30M. Family audiences are hungry for an animated film and this looks right up their alley. $35M/115M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morieris Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 88%, 14/2 Probably one of the top 5 rated Dreamworks' pictures on RT. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subzero Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 The awareness for this is not huge. Doesn't look like it will open big ... $32M/OW would be my guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poseidon Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 It feels like Fox dumped this, but now it's getting great reviews. Feels like how Paramount dumped one of the greatest movies Dreamworls ever made when the contrackt ended: Rise of the Guardians. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaz Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Y'all, the books are popular in the elementary set. I honestly see this doing over $50m 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoguy Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Just 10 reviews on RT so far? That seems really low. Do critics care about this? Waiting so long to let the reviews come out was a huge mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
