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

Let me rephrase that for you. I'm not going to see The Lego Movie. I have zero interest. None. Nada. Zilch.

[The Panda]

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

 

$0

 

That's why they are putting characters like Batman at the forefront.

Telemachos, if you don't understand Lego yet, here's a good translation.

Australia take the Ashes 5-0.

Does this mean you have actual interest in Frozen???

[a2k]

Australia take the Ashes 5-0.

On paper England looked stronger. With the momentum from the previous Ashes victory with them. What happened? Fatigue, complacency, stress? Johnson  ?

[Incarnadine]

I think Lego will do decent, maybe 125m. I don't think it looks to go much higher, it seems to be firmly aimed at very young viewers, I don't see it expanding beyond that demographic or getting a lot of repeat viewings (both of which helped power DM2 and Frozen to their lofty heights).

Obviously basing this just on the trailers. Anything could happen, including big disappointment if the funny bits in the trailer turn out to be the only good bits, or it might turn out to be better than it looks.

Now that the NFL is done, on to the other sports news of the day:

 

England is broken!

 

 

 

5-0 ashes whitewash is complete.

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.

And seeing that Lorax was shit and LEGO Movie looks actually good, that'd make me a happy Blanky

[kitik]

Australia take the Ashes 5-0.

 

In 3 days!

 

(Actually, if you factor in England's terrible overs rate, and look at the amount of balls bowled, Australia won in about 2 and a half days' worth of cricket.)

Yeah, The Lorax was bad. I really hop LEGO Movie does better than it did.

And half a days worth of talent from England

That pretty much summed up the series.

That pretty much summed up the series.

 

England were thoroughly outplayed in this series. Not too many positives to come out of it for them.

Ben Stokes was one.

I have seen more commercials for Lone Survivor tonight than I was seeing for any of the Christmas openers a week before they opened. I know a lot of people around here don't think so but this has a legit shot at pulling in close to $30 million this weekend.

I have been seeing a ton of commercials for it too. I don't see it opening close to 30m, but I could see it opening close to 25m.

[eXtacy]

Australia take the Ashes 5-0.

 

Australia won the series by 1030 runs, and 8 wickets.  

 

Unbelievable domination.
