The Panda Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I remember when you said that because I was with you. I was tempering my expectations because of the fact that family audiences had not been starved. The Lorax made what it made because there hadn't been shit in almost 3 months I think. Also, everyone was claiming this was too "kiddie" and didn't appeal to anyone beyond "8 year-old boys." Oh about half of my audience were 17+ males and their friends, there were a lot of kids to, but it appealed to all ages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deep Wang Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 And I'm thinking...if lorax opened to 70m...and had a 3x multi...where will this go? The response is miles above that film.And yeah, even a week ago no one was saying this film will do 200m (pardon me if anyone was, good job). Now...it might sail right past it.Granted, it might not, but well see. It certainly has the potential to have a huge opening AND great legs. At this point, the sky is really the limit on this one. I just want to enjoy the ride the whole way up because it deserves every penny it makes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spizzer Posted February 8, 2014 Author Share Posted February 8, 2014 Opening of 70 is going to get it close to 300M. Maybe higher if the WOM is truly exceptional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forg Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 (edited) While checking out the 2014 release schedule, I just found out of this movie's existence Opening on May 9 and has the likes of Lea Michelle, Martin Short, Kelsey Grammar in the voice cast. So there's at least one animated movie each month except August and December Edited February 8, 2014 by forg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How crazy would that be to have 3 $300m animated movies released within an 8 month span? Two of them original! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's always those movies that you never suspect! I mean everyone, including myself, pretty much had DM2 being the highest grossing animated movie of the year. We were almost right. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kowhite Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Given the weak reviews...22m is excellent for monuments Men. Even with solid reviews I'd probably say that's still good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
