I can’t deny the legs weren’t that great but it wasn’t horrendous like the average horror movie.

2.155 is pretty much like an average horror movie, even horror movie sequel no ?

Ahh so Godzilla 2014 must be the original Star Wars the Last Jedi? 😂

 

It had Days of Future Past coming out right after it, followed by Maleficient. Kong: Skull Island, which had much better reception, dropped down from Godzilla everywhere including domestically except for China, where it blew up enough to make more in total than Godzilla 2014. Beauty and the Beast destroyed it’s legs.

66% second weekend drop and 61% third weekend because of DOFP and Maleficent? Seems a bit extreme, especially since the poorly recieved TASM2 didn't drop more than 53% in the weekends that Godzilla and DOFP opened. And Maleficent doesn't even target the same audience, but whatever....

 

WW, Kong may have dropped everywhere except China, but China was still big enough to make it outgross Godzilla, and I'm pretty sure that's what WB cares about. Kong likely wouldn't have dropped everywhere if Godzilla had gotten good enough reception on its own right. And how did BATB destroy its legs? At least DOM it didn't.... it dropped 53% second weekend against a 174M opener, for God's sake (nearly double that of what DOFP opened to in 3 days), and then had a 2.76x multiplier, which isn't phenomenal but is certainly fairly decent for a franchise monster movie stuck in between two huge blockbusters (Logan and BATB).

Either way staying on topic, I think there’s enough hype for Godzilla: King of the Monsters that could not only have it experience a good OW despite opening less than Godzilla 2014, but it could affect Aladdin especially since whereas that movie is getting good buzz, Aladdin isn’t. 

Godzilla2 reaction So Far is positive.The first didn't have good leg.But it won't influence much godzilla2 imo

Spider-Man had more of the children demo which Godzilla kinda lacked and had no blockbuster of its size or bigger in the weekend after it came out, of course it was gonna have a 50% drop(s). Days of Future Past had more hype than Godzilla and was the focus of many late night shows, magazines like EW, had a star assemble (Jennifer Lawrence at the peak of her career and Hugh Jackman hoy off a good Wolverine film) as it’s cast, more marketing exposure, etc. Godzilla appealed to the kind of audience that will later go on to see Kong, Rampage, and The Meg, but it also attracted people that were hyped to see Bryan Cranston after Breaking Bad; people who probably never seen a Godzilla film before. Hence the big opening weekend, and ‘embarrassing’ legs that followed it and failed to look good compared to it. I’m going to blame the writing for not making a better film that could’ve resulted in better legs but the past is the past. 

 

Kong: Skull Island had the novelty of having King Kong, more iconic than Godzilla, and a more recognizable cast featuring Loki, Nick Fury, the future Captain Marvel, and John Goodman. Unfortunately it was stuck between 2 of 2017’s most anticipated films and it was the film that “needed to pay the sins of Godzilla.” When word of mouth got out that it was a much better and entertaining film, it resulted in better legs, but by then Beauty and the Beast was dominating the WW box office.

Yeah I am not sure how much the final product will look like set photos, once it goes through all what the image go through.

I guess I am foolish to think this is the Aladdin thread. Silly me I didn't realize it was the Godzilla thread. I thought there already was one of those.

I smell box office disaster for these reasons:

 

Release date- it was bad idea to release it on Memorial Day. BO data shows that films fare poorly on this weekend. There's way too much competition. It's going to be a crowded hot sweaty summer.

 

Early buzz- they shouldn't have released those images when the film is early in development. The film is being trashed on social networks for its portrayal of Genie, Aladdin and the style of the film.

 

Guy Ritchie- Disney hired the wrong director for this film, but i hope he succeeds.

 

Audience fatigue- Like what i said earlier, it's too crowded and audiences might get tired of seeing blockbuster after blockbuster or save money to go see bigger titles like Avengers 4, the lion king, toy story 4, detective pikachu, and Godzilla 2.

Is safe to say that this film and Dumbo will struggle. I'm still looking forward to Lion King, Little Mermaid and Mulan remakes though.

Dumbo isn't facing that much competition. It comes out 2 weeks after captain marvel and there doesn't seem to be any competition until Avengers end game arrives in late April. I think it'll have a solid run.

The Famiy market in 2019 is just overcrowded.

Dead bodies everywhere.

Memorial Day isn't causing movies to fail.  That's just a loose correlation based on a few films.

 

And what exactly comprises a failure?

 

And early twitter buzz? We can write a book on what's going on with that. I do agree, though, that even if the negative press isn't warranted, it has an effect. That's just the world and times we are living. It's not the film's fault but it's the film's problem. Plus. people don't read the articles.

I think Dumbo will be fine. Not so sure about this one.

[Yandereprime101189]

The pics are fine and Aladdin's gonna make bank due to similar reasons as Beauty and the Beast

 

But Lion King will quite literally be King, dumbfounding everyone who might think how can people be invested with a movie that has no humans.

I’ll wait to see how the sets/costumes look in motion but so far everything about this in the creative department reeks of a season of Once Upon a Time and not the very expensive production that it most certainly was.

Movies that follow a badly received first film always pay the price. give me an example of a movie with as bad legs as Godzilla where the sequel increased/stayed flat.   NO, godzilla 2 doesn't have the hype of the first one
