This got laughs at my Big Hero 6 showing today...

 

Definitely of the condescending kind, I'm sure.

I saw some tracking on this...it's not that bad.

Where did you see it and what are the numbers? Meesa curious...

Where did you see it and what are the numbers? Meesa curious...

Let's just say I have access to such information.

And...it pointed to an opening weekend closer to 15m than lower than that.

[DAJK]

A 15M weekend would be a huge win for this film.

[kowhite]

A 15M weekend would be a huge win for this film.

 

It would.

 

I...still have my doubts.  But my doubts are based on my polling of one person...kowhite.  So what do I know?

[fastclock]

I saw the trailer on hdtv yesterday and it looked much better than the internet version. It would probably still grosses less than Epic, but should be decent overall.

[Walt Disney]

It would.

 

I...still have my doubts.  But my doubts are based on my polling of one person...kowhite.  So what do I know?

 

Well, it depends on how well you know the person polled.

Strange Magic 2

Directed by George Lucas.

[CloneWars]

$15m for a small marketing budget is impressive, if that comes true. Also, let's not forget that no one knew about this film more than a month ago. Still though, tracking for children's films is almost always off.

I don't think this movie looks that bad, not great but not bad. 

[MovieGuyKyle17]

This is getting lots of commercials. Seen a few during Modern Family

[grim22]

Saw an ad for this on Hulu, looks like a low rent version of Epic from last year.

[Yandereprime101189]

 

A featurette was released. It at least doesn't make me want to gauge my eyes out like the actual trailer did. . . but just by a smidge.

[MovieGuyKyle17]

So I am the only one who things this looks decent. 

[Avatree]

I really want to see this, I love that style of fantasy.

[75Live]

I literally never heard of this film until this thread was bumped up.  I have not seen one trailer or tv spot for this so I have no idea what this movie is

[CJohn]

Paddington is gonna kill this.

[Rorschach]

An opening weekend less than 10 million is for sure guaranteed at this point.

[Walt Disney]

Paddington is gonna kill this.

 

Bring it on. This is Disney's year. Disney isn't backing down to anyone in their own year.

 

Just remember, this is just Disney's opening salvo for this year. Disney's heavy hitters are still to come.
