Nice. Sounds like it won't be too bad of a movie to go to either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Sony may be seeing the rise in Tuesday grosses like we are and thinking it's a better date than Wednesday, especially when it's a kids/family movie and we're in summer. You think this might become the new norm (aka non-Friday releases being released on Tuesday instead of Wednesday)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno...I also think BTS's engagement might have only been for the weekend, so there were last-minute showings to be had:)... And Angry Birds had that early Saturday open already...moving to full day Tuesday vs previews might mitigate how low those previews would have been, since the early rushers saw it and the not early rushers would be taking a fill of cheap Dora if they see everything family... Plus a lot of schools start next Thursday, so not the best plan to open the day before - no time for "last hurrah" since parents tend to be in wild back-to-school prep:)... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB33 Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 75% on RT after 36 reviews: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_angry_birds_movie_2/ Critcs Consensus: Like its non-aerodynamic title characters, The Angry Birds 2 takes improbable yet delightfully entertaining flight, landing humorous hits along the way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB33 Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Who called this kind of early reception for The Angry Birds Movie 2?? Obviously could still go way down but....not bad. Really curious to see if it translates to a mid-level late summer hit at the box office. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morieris Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 SPA is becoming That Studio who comes out of nowhere and makes better movies than we expect. Pity there won't be a Peter Rabbit 2 teaser before it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I had my review in the Tuesday thread:). Biggest audience applause of any movie I saw this summer...go figure:). My boys and younger teen girl LOVED it...older teen girl and I liked it...Dad gave it a C (which beat Pikachu's F - he's being tough on summer movies). It's reminiscent of the Hangover...paper thin plot explainable in 2 lines with laugh out loud funny jokes and scenes (even some for adults...and a ton for kids), particularly in the 2nd half. It's very slow to get going, but once it does, it takes off, and it chose to be a straight comedy in animated form:)... PS - And like any comedy, best to see with a receptive crowd...I have a feeling it won't be quite as good alone in the quiet of one's own home:)...

DAJK Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Kinda annoyed with this movie. Had some legit good bits that had me belly laughing. Good writing, good physical comedy, but these good jokes would be followed up by the lowest brow humour I've ever seen that was just completely unfunny and unnecessary. It was as if the writers were like "okay, let's get some good jokes for the adults in here. The kids? Oh, they won't care, just put some fart gag, they're dumb enough to find it funny" Sorta felt like a direct to TV sequel overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels like maybe adults have enjoyed it more than the kids. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB33 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Looking like this will make between half and three quarters of its budget back domestically. As I said, the reviews really surprised but business at the box office has been a dud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
