I understand you didn't like Frozen, but you know what I think you should do with your hatred? You knew this was coming:

I have to say that while I liked Frozen. I am not getting the over the top hype and word of mouth it is getting. It is a perfectly good movie, but nothing I would recommend someone to rush out to watch. Personally, I liked Tangled better.

But I hate Defying Gravity so how will this help?

Amazing on a big screen with good sound.

 

The animation with the snow and ice are incredible.

Yeah in truth I don't even hate it (gave it a C+) I just think it's been terribly overrated. I really don't understand the appeal outside of young girls.

The OS is what's truly tragic. I mean damn, when do big budget movies bomb that bad OS these days?

Fortunately for Summit, that hits the distributors more than them. Thank god for presales.

Y'know what I'm feeling toward you?

Certainly everyone is going to have their likes and dislikes.

 

But you should realize when you are obviously in the minority.

 

I don't like the Lion King but I realize that 99% of the population does so I don't go around saying its lousy.  I just realize I personally don't like it.

Well, daily incredible holds disagree with your thinking.

I just said I don't understand the appeal outside that demo, not that it's not there. It apparently is.

 

And I'll continue to be the resident hater for it here since someone always has to be for a movie.

So what chance is there of Frozen doing better than DoS next weekend?

 

Tangled had a 50% increase the weekend after Christmas while AUJ had a 13% drop, and DoS is currently dropping slightly harder than AUJ.  Plus, since DoS won't get the family audience (due to Frozen) it will negatively impact Smaug a bit (especially because it was advertised as darker, and thus less family friendly than the first).

 

(For example I saw AUJ trailers on animated movies, but no DoS were on any family films for me)

Zero. DOS will benefit from next weekend as well. In AUJ's case the calendar was different.

When the movie only cost a measly 50M to make, were not allowed to say it's a disappointment.. It's a bonafide hit for heaven sakes...

I did not say it's not a hit. Just a disappointment against the expectations here of most. I personally think it's doing well. Just stunned at the australian performance. And yes it's still going to be a money maker for the studio.

[Deep Wang]

haha. Granted, I will see Pixar movies in a heartbeat because they appeal to all ages. However, from what I've seen of Frozen, I think I'm outside the target demographic (mid 30s and wrong gender too).

I'm a 34 year old male and I fucking loved Frozen.

Every movie besides Jack Reacher and An Unexpected Journey got boosts from the previous weekends, so this is incorrect.

 

Also the year before Mission Impossible GP did not have an increase, Little Fockers did not increase the year Tangled had its increase, etc.

I think you'll have to find yourself a teen age girl and go see it again.

 

I actually enjoyed it more the 2nd time because I could take the time to appreciate the animation.

 

I actually think that Disney Animation Studios has caught up to Pixar Studios in many areas of animation.  Their snow and ice effects were amazing as was the hair in tangled.

[MovieMan89]

DOS likely won't increase next weekend, and Frozen for sure will. But I still highly doubt it beats DOS.

This club is growing. Blankments, AndyLL, Me, Empire and others.

Oh I gave the animation an A+ and raved about it. It's gorgeous. WDA has absolutely caught up to Pixar there.

It most likely won't, but im rooting for it to, that would be a huge slap in the face for Jackson.

DOS should have a very small drop next weekend still. Even something like Star Trek Nemesis (which fell 76% second weekend) dropped only 8%
