The thing that really sours me on this movie is that awful looking CG when Wonka opens that jar of magical bead things. Rest of it looks passable but the only thing that really makes it stand out from any other generic kids fantasy is Chalamet and King's names, the former of whom I'm not convinced has the kind of gravitas in the role that Wilder or Depp had.

 

 

Totally disagree. Chalamet has great charisma. Depp just plays weird. Chalamet >>>> Creep Depp. 

 

Wilder is Eons ago and we are not remaking the same movie. This stands on its own and has a great director as well. This will crush all family picks this holidays.

Agree. Do not understand the Timothy is miscast or stiff argument going around. He seems just fine. For sure compared to Depp who played it like someone who should not be allowed within 50 yards of a school.

Very peeved not one of you brought this to my attention.

I still think it is a mistake releasing two big budget movies so close together, bur now I think  this does better then Aqua 2.

Genuinely don't understand why some people are so bullish about this doing so well. Getting Mary Poppins vibes where tons of people were so sure it was gonna crush everything the Christmas it came out.

 

I just don't see this doing more than 200-300M WW. But hey maybe I'm wrong.

Quorum takes 5 movies that release around the same time, say it should be on the high end of this average, and Deadline sees that as enough to make an article?

I mean, it is Deadline.

 

This part was interesting though:

 

Quote

In regards to Wonka‘s marketing campaign, there are material out there to move the needle: Two official trailers on the Warner Bros. YouTube channel measuring at respectively 31M and 9M each, lead star Timothée Chalamet will be the guest-host Saturday Night Live on Nov. 11 with the actor also on the cover of GQ. In addition, Warners has 17 one-sheets out there for the movie, in billboards, in-theater and online, and if there’s any barometer as to how much a studio is committing to a movie, it’s in its quantity of one-sheet posters.

 

Nice way to promote without promoting.

Are they not doing industry tracking anymore? The quorum is not legit

It's around 3 weeks before release when NRG tracking come out. Trade numbers are driven by that.

Every time I see the Quorom mentioned I just laugh. That Wonka story deadline put out today is just hilarious. The movie is 6 weeks away.

I'm actually on your same wavelength...I don't see this getting under 25s to rally to it, and if it doesn't, it's where most of this year's mainly older Caucasian drawing films sit - not very high.

Kylie will roll up at the premiere looking hot af and buzz will explode 

[filmlover]

This is feeling more and more like a nonevent compared to the buzz it had when the first trailer landed ngl. 

[excel1]

IDK what people were expecting but this has screamed $25-30m opening, $150-160m total since the concept was announced. 

[emoviefan]

So we are basing this all on the Quorom tracking figures. LOL Okay.Why don't we wait until  they do the final marketing push and the reviews come out.
