I don't want this to fail.

 

I wonder what will be a harder sell to the GA; This or Uprising.

I don't think this will be a big hit unfortunately, but it looks good. As someone who's read the book, I like the tone they seem to be going for.

No thanks.

[Noctis]

I'm excited for this one.

yikes, Disney better hope there is a fanbase for this , otherwise Tommorowland numbers

 

That would be mediocre for it but not a flop since the budget is a reported $103m vs $190m

[filmlover]

Yeah, this feels like an inevitable box office dud.

[snarkmachine]

Didn't this cost $100+ million? Why does it look so cheap?

 

The art direction is seriously ugly.

Now it’s cursed.

The logic of everyone on these forums:

 

Disney does another franchise film: “Wow, this looks amazing!  400M+ domestic!”

 

Disney does something different: “This looks like a flop.  Tomorrowland numbers at best.”

Go figure that you immediately dismiss and deride the first different looking Disney film in ages.

I'm looking forward to this regardless of whether it's a hit or not, bro.

Yeah...because that’s what always happens when Disney does something different. Tomorrowland, Lone Ranger, John Carter, Prince of Persia. The last time Disney did something different live-action tentpole wise and turned out a success was...I guess Into the Woods. 

[That One Girl]

I’m getting big Narnia vibes from the trailer. This is gonna blow up.  The only other blockbusters in March (barring Ready Player One, which comes out at the end of the month anyway and isn’t direct competition) will do less than 100M, this pretty much has an empty marketplace.

Did you ever think that those end up shitting the bed because they’re poorly received (regardless of what I think of them) and not because they’re different?  And also because most of them have unappealing stars to the GA in the lead role (Taylor Kitsch, Jake Gyllenhaal, Armie Hanmer, etc.) and that they’re all more targeted towards adults (compared to Wrinkle in Time, which has far more family appeal)?  I wouldn’t bet money on Wrinkle in Time getting poor reviews, I trust in Ava Duvernay and the book is a classic for a reason.

[WrathOfHan]

Ready Player One is the only March release I'm confident is making 100M. I have Red Sparrow and this making the mark, but I'm feeling uneasy about this. The main advantage it has over Tomorrowland is Disney will devote a full marketing push instead of sidelining it for the movies before and after (AOU/IO)

Are you really going to blame The Lone Ranger's failure on Armie Hammer when it was sold as a Johnny Depp vehicle? lol.

I like how that’s what you pick out from my post.  I could’ve also used Depp as an example, but the true lead of the film was Hammer so I used him as one.  Either one of them can be exchanged in or out and it’d work.
