Founder / Operator Shawn Robbins Posted February 8, 2014 Founder / Operator Share Posted February 8, 2014 Welcome aboard. I'm loving all of the influx of new users. That'd be awesome if Lego brings even half as many as Frozen seemed to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder / Operator Shawn Robbins Posted February 8, 2014 Founder / Operator Share Posted February 8, 2014 (edited) The LEGO Movie dying down (in another month-ish) might benefit Muppets Most Wanted. Might. I'm worried about Muppets. My feeling is that kids and families will be burnt out on animation once Lego has its day (month) in the sun. They'll be looking to Captain America at that point. That movie couldn't be more perfectly timed, IMO. Edited February 8, 2014 by ShawnMR 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I have seen the new Total Recall and I prefer it to the old one. Probably my biggest movie sin. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Panda Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 The LEGO Movie dying down (in another month-ish) might benefit Muppets Most Wanted. Might. Mr. Peabody and Sherman comes first. I'm worried for the Muppets, even though it's a family movie it interests adults who grew up on it way more than the kids. I really want the Muppets to be a success though. (and the marketing has been stellar so far) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That movie couldn't be more perfectly timed, IMO. Captain America which will in turn hurt Spider-Man. Problem with Muppets is that last film was well-recevied. By grown-ups. But it had the same position as Frozen and Tangled (two mega hits) and yet didn't crack $100M. And this sequel by all accounts is way more kid-friendly, an odd move since kids got dragged by their parents to see the last film and not vice versa.

That movie couldn't be more perfectly timed, IMO. I think studios are trying to recreate last Summer this late Winter/Spring. Lego, Peabody, Muppets, Captain America and Rio are all very close (and I know Nut Job is a small movie, but it will end up with 60-70M which is quite good and affects other family movies).

That movie couldn't be more perfectly timed, IMO.The Winter Soldier will be the second example this year of how quality movies will make money wherever you put them. I'm thinking this one-two punch could see a major shift in how studios view release dates.Well, until someone releases a similar, yet very inferior product in the same spot and it makes way less money. Then, it's a bad time again. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Don't forget this year Easter is on late April. Usually on those years major releases happen in April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
