Spoiling a Major Plot point in a Trailer may of hurt Dragon. This is why people should skip Trailers and show up to movies 15 minutes late

[Incarnadine]

Just watched Dragon 1 on DVD again to help myself feel better.  It has fewer moments of action in its first 70 minutes than most frenetic, ADHD animated movies aimed at kids.  The little training fights inside the dragon dome only last for 60 seconds or so and then the director cuts to go back to focusing on story.  It is impressive because the director trusts the story/material enough to not feel the need to bombard the kids in the audience with action (until the final 20 minutes or so).  Reminded me of how restrained the direction is in something like "Where The Wild Things Are". 

 

I liked HTTYD2, but it wasn't as "fun" as the first.  Some of the best parts of the first were those training fights, watching Hiccup learning all those dragon tricks from watching Toothless and then applying them in the ring to effortlessly subdue the dragons.

I like to see the trailers so I can rate the upcoming movies with whomever I am with. Thumbs Up for a movie that looks good. Thumbs in the middle for a movie I am so-so about. And thumbs down for a movie that looks bad.

Try "spoiling 80% of the movie".

Trailers are sometimes good and Bad for Movies but when they spoil pretty much a whole movie in a Trailer its very bad for it.

I can't argue with that. However, I still like seeing the trailers and don't expect to spoil most of the movie when I see them.

My favorite thing about the first is the Viking dad who always wants to go to war.  I studied Political Science in college, and that guy reminded me of some conservative politicians who say we should not have mosques built in America.  Just an ignorant guy who doesn't know any better than to always feel threatened by everybody - always living in fear.  Israel and Palestine is the same way.  It is a primitive mindset to always be at war or afraid of everybody.

Remember when Dragon was supposed to crush Maleficent and destroy everything in its path?

I remember last Thursday very well.

[John Marston]

amazing how much of a non event Dragon 2 ended up being

[Deep Wang]

Okay, check this out. 22 Jump StreetThursday - 297Friday - 1725Saturday - 2017It was 5 shy of staying even!

. So is this good

[boogiezen]

Maleficent ownage?

 

Seriously with so much b!tching and hoping HTTYD2 will murder Maleficent it hit back like a boomerang. Though I still think HTTYD2 will end up better than Maleficent in the long run.

[Mojoguy]

Dragon 2 will be lucky to hit 200m DOM now.

[narniadis]

I will be very curious to see where legs take some of the newer films - will be interesting to see how far down Spidey and Godzilla land and how high dragon and Maleficent go

[MovieMan89]

If TF4 isn't massive this will truly be the most underwhelming summer ever for blockbusters. LEGO could beat every single summer movie at this point.

Well, if you were to extrapolate his theater to the entire nation, that would mean it would be flat including previews which would be really good. Probably not happening though.

[Cochofles]

What are the Sat estimates for Maleficent? Or what page are they posted in? Thanks!

[MovieMan89]

I simply can't wrap my brain around the fact that HTTYD2 will open a mere 5-10m higher than the first. No animated competition this summer, beloved predecessor, great reviews, summer release. What the literal fuck?
