In what world are any of those more appealing movies, especially in a family fair barren summer.

He only means the OW.

[ACSlater]

This can't be happening.

So when Dragon does 550-650 ww are people still going to call it a flop. Jesus you guys it's not like Mars Needs Moms was released again.

It's a flop to those that wanted a billion WW.

Please no Mars Needs Moms. It's too painful to think about.

When a movie opens with less than peoples expectations, they lose their shit. Overhyping can do that.

If you sit on a time machine, travel back to last year or somepoint in the early stage of this year and predict Dragons 2 to struggle for 50m OW, you would be laughed to death.

People are always overreacting, and shitting on movies that are great. I love this board, but those people who overreact to every bad box office run need to calm the heck down:

DAT family audience! Or is it DAT Frozen audience?

Oh good fucking lord.

And that line of thinking is completely wrong. People really need to manage they're expectations.And I fully admit I got caught up in the Dragon hype, so it won't be the top film this summer, oh well.

[Ruthie]

Thanks for all the likes, Blank. 

DITTO!!

Agree completely. And this one also has a lower budget than the first one.

I know, I'm just criticizing the general public right now.

[ky02121]

I wish HTTYD2 was a crappy film. But no. This is happening to THE BEST film I've seen all year. What a shame.

For the record, I NEVER thought Dragon would be hitting a billion.

[Dementeleus]

those at the studio are saying the budget is at $145M but we’ve heard significantly higher.

I'm watching Terminator and feel really compelled to get fat, dye my hair black, make a tumblr and post overly emotional pictures and quotes about Sarah and Kyle.

How to train your expectations

[Mojoguy]

But this movie had WAY more hype going for it before the release... at least it looked that way. Looks like people didn't care.
