Haven't seen Zootopia but TJB is as good as it gets, I consider it a flawless movie. Everything it does, it does great, it looks stunning, it's fun, it's light, it's adorable, it's entertaining.

Been an interesting weekend, but finally seeing TJB at the 9:00 IMAX showing.

[EmpireCity]

JB should be around $200m after 10 days of release with another 10 days of free run before Civil War opens.  Could be around $280m by that time.

Zootopia > Jungle Book > 8/10

The one film that Korea gets 2 months after the rest of the world  It's really annoying not being able to see this film.

 

Do not feel too bad for me though as my local cinema instead has the ultra new releases of... Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Ben Hur! (The Heston One)

Does Disney’s ‘Jungle Book’ Success Spell Trouble for Warner Bros. Version?

Warner Bros. likely has no real choice but to scrap their entire project and use the money and technology to give Andy Serkis something better to do.

The cast for that film is pretty expensive so I doubt they'd just cut it. They definitely will change the title however.

Both of those are likely much better than TJB (I haven't seen either  )

Wow. I'm actually jealous.

[GiantCALBears]

Shocking how big this OW was, so who had Deadpool, Zootopia & TJB beating BvS domestic? Just goes to show you, brand can only take you so far if the movie isn't well liked.

Keep the cast and use the technology to shoot a different movie.

I'm being sarcastic.  Sort of.

And to think, this was unimaginable back in January.. MARVEL was deemed a has been and BvsS was supposed to be WB/DC's version of The AVENGERS and it can't even get the job done.. All I saw was "The Trinity This and the Trinity that" and when these so called 3 Iconic Superhero's can't dent the box office, that makes me wonder if it's not so much Zack Snyder is the problem as it is that the general audience just doesn't dig DC like the fans do, excluding Nolan's Trilogy for obvious reasons???

I don't think this is a DC thing at all. It's a poorly executed film thing. Another director and a more traditional interpretation of Superman and... Ugh, can't wait for CA and a more positive experience.

 

Very impressed by JB. Neither of my kids seem interested but we had a lot going on this weekend with a birthday. Maybe we'll catch it next week.

I want a 2 and a half hour Mulan epic, they can weave some of the themes in there, but Id cut the singing.  Of course, that means Disney isn't going to do it.

 

I dunna. They seemed willing to drop the songs in Cinderella. I think with the right director, they could make an epic with songs, of course that's an IF.

They should let Serkis do Animal Farm for a lower budget.

 

He's been wanting to adapt it for a while.

[movieboner]

Star Wars, Finding Dory and The Jungle Book, Disney is banking on Nostalgia. Since remaking nostalgic films is the fad today, I hope they remake Basic Instinct or Showgirls.

Let me guess, Kal made this...

[GiantCALBears]

Disney has always been nostalgic, it's a major part of their brand. Isn't some new occurrence.
