Blankments Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 After seeing Mr. Banks, I'm listening to the Mary Poppins soundtrack. It's been too long since I've seen the movie OR heard the songs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spidey Freak Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Planes 2 was erased from schedule and kids now apparently dislike Transformers. Also, GotG turned into an animation movie somewhere during production. Not to mention the complete disappearance of Maleficent, WHICH IS ACTUALLY BASED OFF AN ANIMATED FILM!

druv10 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 how much should Frozen make WW. I haven't been following it's WW box office? It's already at 500M WW with China and Japan still left to open. 850M WW is the target goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainJackSparrow Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 I've been a lurker for quite some time... butI had to create an account...... I'm blown away by Frozen's numbers. I keep waiting for it to drop, but it just doesn't. So glad Disney was brave enough to return to musicals. That's what's been missing from animation the last decade, good original music. The fact that the Frozen Album is number 2 on iTunes right now is proof that people were hungry for something like this.Welcome to the forums!

MovieMan89 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Not to mention the complete disappearance of Maleficent, WHICH IS ACTUALLY BASED OFF AN ANIMATED FILM! By that logic Snow White and the Huntsman was a kid's film too then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, GotG turned into an animation movie somewhere during production. Lol, how in the hell did I mix up Guardians as an animated movie there? I must have been combining it with Big Hero 6. Anyways its only direct competition all summer is Planes, which is weak competition. Transformers are only "kids films" in the 9-12 boy demo. They're certainly not primarily kid's films. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spidey Freak Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 By that logic Snow White and the Huntsman was a kid's film too then. That wasn't directly inspired by Walt Disney's Snow White though, just the original fairytale. In this case though, Maleficent and related characters are from Disney's Sleeping Beauty.

To me the marketing so far has been invoking more of an older audience. Maleficent is the scariest villain Disney has, so I could easily see it going PG-13.

kitik Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Transformers are only "kids films" in the 9-12 boy demo. They're certainly not primarily kid's films. You're right, but I think HTTYD probably skews a bit more towards older kids than something like Frozen or Finding Nemo, so there is some crossover there. It's reasonable to say that TF4 will have at least some sort of effect on HTTYD2. But without a doubt, the animation slate for summer 2014 is a lot more open then what we saw in summer 2013. HTTYD2 has clear sailing (relatively speaking) compared to what we saw in 2013. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time will tell of course, but I don't expect Maleficent to be as much of an action film as SWATH was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TASM2 seems more comedic than TASM and Spider-Man has far more kiddie appeal than Thor so that may have good legs among the family demographic come the summer holidays. The aforementioned Transformers is there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's the scariest Disney villain but I don't think the movie will be AS dark as the first trailer suggested. Probably the same tone as Oz, if slightly more sinister.

Dragon will benefit from that just like Frozen is now, provided it also has good WOM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still think Dragon's actual quality will be the main deciding factor when it comes to its holds though, just as Frozen's is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
