meanwhile some toy factory in china..

To be honest, they could loop this gif for 90 min, release it in theaters as Despicable Me 3, and make 300M DOM and get lauded by people claiming "OMG, the Minions were so adorable and funny and the film had a real sentimental side to it oooooh"

[Blankments]

And it looks like Steve Coogan is quickly becoming the John Ratzenberger of Illumination. His name showed up in the Pets trailer too.

Poor Coogan

Blanks is in full-on James Woods Hercules mode.

I prefer to imagine myself as Lewis Black Anger

 

Wait, then you'll all go "BLANK IS A LOONEY INSIDE OUT STAN"

 

...

 

I prefer to imagine myself as IMMORTAN JOE

So we don't care about the holdovers anymore?

Nah. Minions is destroying everything.

[La Binoche]

How's Amy (the Winehouse doc) doing?

The dream is collapsing...

 

 

Imagine Tele Jr. Freaking out when you ban him from watching anything Minion.

Minons, Good God on that Friday Estimate.

Blank's meltdown is hilarious, especially since there shouldn't actually be any reason for it, not like Minions came out of nowhere to do this well, everyone knew it was going to do well - except Tele and Ethan Hunt (one is too old and disillusioned, one is too young and crazy)

 

Umm... He wants to see the better movie doing better than the sub-par one, sounds like a valid reason to me. People here did that all the time with every big franchise/movie. Just because it's a movie made for toddlers doesn't mean it should be immune to all criticisms.

He'd rather just watch Donald Duck.

Morpheus Voice:

What if I told you Inside Out is still on track to become Pixar's third biggest film and the third biggest original film of the century?

[Jay Beezy]

IO and JW with even worse than expected drops? Race to $12M between the three? Sigh.

 

That was their very first report at 4 P.M. EST. They haven't updated appropriately. From the looks of things, I don't see TG competing at all with IO or JW.

Tele about now

I feel better now.

Now, I just rewatched Jaws tonight, and it got me thinking. Wish I was alive when Universal made quality PG-rated tentpoles that involved sharks instead of dumb twinkies.

Nice increase.

Blank about now

Or time travelling cars.

Rank the Blanks meltdowns.

Tele Jr. has great taste!
