I hope he hops in the DeLorean and Tom Hanks as The Polar Express is driving.

Gut says that this won't be big but I don't think it will fall below that unadjusted 70-80m range that Spielberg has been frequently hitting (albeit with different genres, budgets, etc) since AI  .... hoping 26-27m ow / 2.6-2.7x / ~70m dom is the low-end. 40m ow / ~3x / 120m dom optimistically.

They should remove that cgi eye close up from the trailer, his face goes all Polar Express. 

 

Freddy though, small yay.

Is this in 3D?

 

Because I think going the Tron Legacy route (real world in 2D/virtual world in 3D) to make the "Oasis" enticing (it looks like a hideous epilepsy-inducing hell) is the only way to make this appealing to GA beyond hardcore gamers and nostalgia geek quadrant.

 

Cue someone saying everybody hates 3D and want it to die. Well, then RIP RPO.

Yes. (Also, 3D sucks)

The marketing has been absolute garbage for this. They're not even selling the biggest hook of the story!

To be fair we've only had one trailer...

[Morieris]

This better show us some more color in the Oasis. 

[Arlborn]

The next trailer better be real good otherwise I do see the hype for this staying relatively low which would be a bit of a shame.

Exactly and it's not out until late March! Given how VFX heavy this film will be, I'm not surprised we haven't seen much footage.

Given how expensive this film likely will be, a $26-27m OW would be pretty awful. I imagine WB are hoping for double that.

I hope the second trailer is much better.  Most of the Comic-Con trailer has honestly soured as it's sat with me and the only thing that sticks out is that race sequence towards the end.  I trust in Spielberg to deliver though.

I expect the second trailer is likely more plot heavy and likely feature the characters who didn't appear in the first trailer.

What is the biggest hook?

[RichWS]

Indy 5 aside, there is a part of me that wishes this is Spielberg's last big-budget "blockbuster".

 

Also, I've seen the first 10 minutes of BFG three times because I could never get past that. I think it might be something that has to wait until the post-death retrospective.

You should get past that because it’s a lovely movie.

There's immediate zone-out with that beginning. The score, the kid, Janusz's LIGHT POOLS.

TFW you have an RP1 club over $300M.

I almost fell asleep watching that film about halfway through... so there's that.
