goldenstate5 Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Well.... at least the fantastic WOM is working. Only a 37% drop! Go Kubo go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Probably will finish in line with ParaNorman with a worse opening but better legs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BourneFan #1 Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 I'm seeing this in less than 2 hours and I'm quite stoked. It can't be worse than The Boxtrolls, right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiccup23 Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 I am predicting a $48-$49 million finish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieMan89 Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 This was even better on a second viewing. The humor in the middle clicked much better for me this time, not sure why I found it out of place the first time. That third act is practically flawless. Just brilliant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Held much better yesterday than ParaNorman did and approaching its daily pace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel M Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Laika are making good movies but they need to find a way to lower the 60m budgets if they want to survive. Stop motion has a niche audience. You can't just hope that it will be a very big hit like Chicken Run or that it will turn into a mainstream classic with re-releases and merchandise like Nightmare before Christmas. Those two movies are the outliers. For stop motion movies the ceiling seems to be a little over 100m WW and a cult following after that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenstate5 Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Holy toledo! Kubo keeps sprinting onward despite losing a couple hundred theaters! Hopefully when it opens in more markets it does very well OS. I'm very happy it actually may end up on the higher side of Laika's grosses overall.

Coraline was way better. It is the best Laika film out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldenstate5 Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 (edited) I dunno if I would use that many great thans, but yeah it's their best. I do like the tone and look of Coraline, however.

I exaggerated a tad for emphasis, but it is their first film that I've been able to fully endorse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannastop Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 (edited) I think that the main reason this movie has so much credence in critics' groups is because it's an amazing technical achievement. In terms of thematic depth, it's at the same level as the Kung Fu Panda movies. Don't get me wrong, Kung Fu Panda and Kubo are both very good. But I don't think anyone outright praises either for their genius scripts. Edited December 5, 2016 by cannastop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daxtreme Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Indeed, I saw this a few weeks ago and I wasn't too impressed with the overall story. Dialogue was mostly sharp though. But the visuals and imagination are really something, this movie is definitely worth seeing in my opinion. Very, very original at times, especially near the beginning. I just wish they went all-in with the possibilities they unlocked instead of resorting to generic stuff as far as story and action goes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
