Spidey Freak Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 TMNT and Spongebog are showing the power of nostalgia. That's the reason dem Mighty Morphin Rangers shouldn't be written off completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceroll Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Well, the fight scenes were really good and as we've discussed before, goodwill for the show guaranteed it would never be an outright flop no matter what. The trailers were actually quite enticing, and they even had a Super Bowl spot too. Paramount really killed it 5 years ago, it's sad to see them releasing so few movies nowadays.

Jonwo Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 SpongeBob OW is a win for Paramount since this is their first animated film from Paramount Animation. It means that out of the major film studios, only Sony has not had an animated film to break $50m OW 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spidey Freak Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I never got the complaint against tried and tested franchises getting new instalments. Just because it is familiar and comforting does not automatically make it inferior or unimaginative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitik Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Huge number for SpongeBob. Why haven't we gotten an announcement about a big animated movie coming out at the start of next February? Move Zootopia! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grim22 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 (edited) Spongebob may end up being the biggest OW for an animated movie till Minions comes along. Pixar originals tend to do around 55M OW which is where I see Inside Out ending up on OW. Minions on the other hand, may hit 85M or more IMO. Huge number for SpongeBob. Why haven't we gotten an announcement about a big animated movie coming out at the start of next February? Move Zootopia! I think Zootopia may move like you said. Makes sense after seeing 2 consecutive animated breakouts. Edited February 7, 2015 by grim22 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a2k Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Paddington held well going against Spongebob. -42.5% from last Friday. Weekend drop will be well below 40% owing to the strong Sun to Sun hold from Superbowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jandrew Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 (edited) How old was the child? He looked about 5th maybe 4th grade. I just found it funny because i couldnt get my parents to go back in 04 either, they dropped me off with a cousin. BUT now my 48 year old mother wants to see this and is offering to take my cousin. She dorsnt care if its Sponggebob (like some), she just wants a good comedy. Edited February 7, 2015 by Jandrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Move Zootopia! Illumination has The Secret Life of Pets for February 2016 and WB has animated films dated for February 2017 and February 2018.

grim22 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Last 3 films from #Wachowskis will gross about $110M in US combined. Together they cost $400M+. Plug to get pulled. — Gitesh Pandya (@giteshpandya) February 7, 2015 Of course, the last 3 movies before that almost grossed 2B WW combined, which got them that long leash. Now of course, it will be different moving forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wachowskis are just the latest of film makers who after too many expensive flops will likely won't be able to command huge budgets for their films. It happened to Bruckheimer after Lone Ranger, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fancyarcher Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 My theater applauded at the end of the movie, and my non-movie fanatic friend liked it. Not saying it won't have bad legs but I don't think it's a guarantee. Plenty of movies I've heard had theater applauses from various people, yet those films still dropped on their second weekend regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fancyarcher Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 (edited) I'd be up for a Jimmy Neutron 2. I still remember when a sequel was in works. I wonder why it got canned? Edited February 7, 2015 by Fancyarcher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
