[That One Girl]

If the "intense crash sequence" in Doctor Strange isn't intense, I'm asking for my money back.

On the plus side, Stork's bombage (and IA5's and Angry Bird's underperformance) might signal that the bar for animation has been raised for the GA. So many quality animated films this year, perhaps the generic juvenile stuff isn't cutting it for the GA anymore. And before anyone brings up SLOP, that at least has top notch production values and a certain entertainment factor. 

 

It'll be interesting how Trolls does because if it's mediocre then I can't see it doing more than $30-35m. 

 

I do think Storks being a talking animal film didn't help either. Not that there is anything wrong with them but they're the most overused animated concept and audiences need a break from them 

[grey ghost]

Damn, is 100 m DOM in danger for M7?

 

Nobody saw that coming.

[RichWS]

WHAT HAPPENED TO $50M, EVERYBODY?*

 

*asks the guy who thought Jason Bourne would do over 200.

Yeah Trolls could definitely be another Rise of the Guardians. They're pimping the hell out of it with the marketing, but Storks is showing that doesn't necessarily matter. 

[La Binoche]

Hmm, Mag7 opening like a typical Denzel movie in the low-to-mid 30s and not in the 50s as some were predicting? So Chris Pratt added nothing. 

[cannastop]

Storks is failing and Mag7 isn't wowing anyone. And after this, the next movie with even a chance at $100m dom is Doctor Strange.

 

Did I pick a bad year to join this forum or something?

DWA needs this to be a hit since KFP3 underperformed. Storks underpeforming for WB/WAG isn't good after the success of The Lego Movie but they'll survive and the two Lego films next year will do much better business.

If Trolls doesn't make $100m, I think Dreamworks' operations might be in some serious shit. Maybe they'll make Shrek 5 and shut everything down.

The whole major emphasis on celebrity voice cast and Justin Timberlake hit soundtrack angle reek of desperation on their part. I think they're confused as to what to do after audiences basically rejected a quality film like HTTYD2, so they're just back to cheap marketing tactics in hopes they pay off.

DWA won't shutdown so soon after Comcast just bought them but I expect the budgets will be slashed to under $100m apart from the ones already in production .

It did work for Home although I'm not sure it'll work for Trolls.

It's a blow for original content. But WAG will be fine overall since they'll just fall back onto their Lego franchise. Even if this is a loss, it likely won't be much considering its production cost is $70mil, which is very reasonable. Because it's animation, it'll likely make enough long-range and home video that it'll be fine overall.

 

Both Mag 7 and Storks are looking like they'll be average performers since the numbers are hitting the more reasonable ranges people expected. Which isn't terrible. It's just when you get the unexpected breakout hit in the beginning of February in Deadpool it makes the rest of the year a little banal since everything is behaving within reasonable expectations.

I agree, hopefully WAG will look at what happened with Storks and try again with Smallfoot but given WAG has Lego and the various characters from the animation libraries and DC for ideas, it'll make it harder for original ideas to get greenlit if films like Storks and Smallfoot don't do as well as the ones based on IP

More upheaval at Paramount @CJohn

 

 

 

They're blaming the man in charge of marketing and distribution for the failure of “Ben-Hur,” “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows” and “Zoolander 2.”    Yeah, that makes sense.

[filmlover]

Could Magnificent Seven open lower than The Equalizer?

I think that Girl on a Train is going to hit it fairly easily.

A smaller version of Gone Girl, perhaps?

Presales started today and look strong already.  It is going to hit a demographic (female and date crowd) that is absolutely starved for content.
