That's more in between, I liked the trailer but it's still February, although I am optimistic about it, I just feel like there is a possibility it might verge to much on being kiddish entertainment and the animation style might get annoying. (I understand animated movies are primarily for kids, but some are great movies period, some are great for kids and tolerable for adults, and others are pure childish entertainment)

 

The trailer had some funny jokes, but there were also some parts that verged on being annoying six year old slap stick, hyperactive jokes.

 

Phil Lord and Chris Miller tell me enough. Cloudy 1 is one of (if not the) funniest animated movie in the past few years. Cloudy 1 had annoying trailers and seeing LEGO only has annoying parts in the trailer gives me hope it'll be the great comedy it looks like

 

I don't get your point on the animation style though; it looks real refreshing compared to what you usually get in current CGI

Just came back from WoWS. Am in NYC for the weekend and went to Lincoln Center for the 6:30pm show. The rush was insane. Obviously sold out. The movie was on 2nd floor. The line for those who had already bought the tickets started from the theater to the passage(which is very long), to stairs all the way down to the groundfloor. The crowd reaction was generally positive. The climax had a mixed reception.

Keep in mind with Lego, it's designed to entertain, like many kids movies, but moreso than most it's also designed to sell toys.

Yeah, but how much money does WB make off that the Star Wars and TMNT characters in it? 

 

$0

That doesn't exactly excuse a potential poor product.

[K1stpierre]

People are excited about the Lego movie? Seriously?

We were 2 blocks away from each other at 6:30. A small world eh?

I can see it now in February Tele update:I still haven't seen The Lego Movie

Of course not. Fortunately, it looks like it's going to be a good product (I don't generally watch animated movies, and I won't watch this, but this looks like it'll be a good one).

 

I was just pointing out that for whatever-sized hit this turns out to be at the box office, you can actually add a lot more money to it thanks to all the Lego Movie sets they'll be selling.

I'm looking for a razor and I texted my mom where we keep them...

 

 

Long story short, she texts me back "I do shave my legs on occasion."

Lego Movie should be a lock for $75 million.

uhhhhh... it should be a lock for 100M seeing it has no competition for a month

[Fancyarcher]

Of course not. Fortunately, it looks like it's going to be a good product (I don't generally watch animated movies, and I won't watch this, but this looks like it'll be a good one).

Yes.

[The Panda]

Yeah, there are people predicting 200m+ for that thing.

[wileECoyote]

Settling in for American Hustle.

[Blankments]

Had a great reaction at DM2 and Monsters U. Yet never saw anything for it since.

Though I do think it will be the first 100M film this year.

THAT'S BECAUSE YOU HAVEN'T SEEN FROZEN ALGDSGLJSD

[K1stpierre]

I see it locking in at around 150M, with 200M not too far out of reach.

[Empire]

Yeah, Lego Movie has been getting great reactions everytime the trailer is shown when I am at a movie.

 

I wouldn't be shocked if it makes around what The Lorax did.
