Rth just posted in the HTTYD2 thread that he revised his numbers up to 21.5-24 for Dragons!24 would be awesome

 

[Noctis]

Terrible for Dragons.

[iceroll]

Fuck, HTTYD2 keeps dropping. At this rate we might end up below 50m D:

[Jonwo]

Chicken Run's another good one.

 

Shaun The Sheep sounds promising, and given Aardman's track record, I have confidence it'll be quite good.

 

Aardman despite not releasing many animated films have made great films, their problem is that the humour is very British plus stop animation isn't as well loved as CG but I don't think they've ever aimed to be as big as Disney.

Straight with no chaser.

 

Thanks Rth.

16.5M with previews will be HORRIBLE. That is sub 15M minus previews and it could miss 50M!!!.

 

Even 22JS is not breaking out as much as what I was hoping(30M OD). But it should gross around 60M. Disappointing weekend. I hope holdovers at least did ok.

This kind of feels like Summer 2010 all over again, every movie is disappointing.

I think it is clear that even if your films was extremely well received you can't wait too long these days if you want the sequel to explode. We saw that with Star Trek 2 and now it looks like it is happening with Dragon as well. 

 

 

 

taking a look at the sequels to well received films that did explode or did very well. Hunger Games: Catching Fire, Twilight: New Moon, Transformers 2, Fast and Furious 6, Hangover Part 2, 22 Jump Street. They came out two years or less after their predecessor. Coincidence? I think not

Ouch for HTTYD2. if it gets 16.5 then it might make under 50.

This is true, however I'm not a Brit and I find their humor to be quite enjoyable hilarious. I laughed a lot at The Pirates for example.

Noctis you troll, you dirty bastard, you...

Please, please, please don't call me a dirty bastard. I was born out of wedlock and I was bullied mercilessly growing up because of it.

[Mulder]

Yeah exactly.

Except...we won't have a Toy Story 3. Or a Iron Man 2. Or a Twilight. Or a Harry Potter. Or an Inception.So...this is worse. Edited June 14, 2014 by kowhite

Yeah I said earlier every weekend so far has been anti-climatic. 

[Jonwo]

Yeah, given how animated movies go today...being a musical is hardly a reasonable complaint.Disney just spent a decade plus avoiding being a musical for the most part. I say..bring on more musicals.Ok, I can live with less princesses.

 

Musicals were Disney bread and butter before Pixar came along, you look at the 90s animated films like Anastasia and Prince of Egypt, both copied the Disney formula. The animated musical has slowly made a comeback not only at Disney but at Illumination and Blue Sky and Dreamworks has two in development.

EXCEPT for the two movies LEGO and Cap 2, which were released BEFORE summer. They were the lucky ones. hmmmm.

Sorry.
