Jumanji's also gonna make a killing next Christmas too. Don't forget Ferdinand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FantasticBeasts Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 I don't really think that Sing's and RO's audiences match. I think that U12 are a big proportion of Sing's audience which is not a case with Rogue One. Otherwise, one of them would have been hit by the other.

yjs Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 (edited) Aside the issue that a movie's quality and its box office performance not going together, I've been thinking about this question a lot these days, why do we even bother deciding which film is objectively "good" and which is not if the nature of film criticing is purely subjective and it's just a matter of personal preference? Like, how subjective can we really be when it comes to telling "good" arts apart from the "bad" ones? to stretch it a little, are we allowed to say Nicki Minaj is better than Beethoven if we really think so? Could the population in the 23rd century possibly think Minaj is a superior musician? Cause reputations do change and things like that do happen. Can I say E.L. James is less talented than J.K. Rowling when there are many people out there who genuinely enjoy Fifty Shades of Grey more than Harry Potter? all the efforts to aggregate reviews, are they just pointless? The fact that such collective opinions can be so easily diminished by individuals' personal tastes confuses me a little these days, about the notion that I've had about film critics and stuff. Maybe they are really meaningless? Edited December 29, 2016 by yjs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deep Wang Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 1 hour ago, WrathOfHan said: The main reason I expect Sing to have a string of 40% drops after January 6: theater counts. A 12 screen theater won't have Sing by the end of January, and there's a decent chance many get rid of it on January 20. Because it's going to have low weekdays once school is back in session, theaters won't see the need to keep it around. 36 minutes ago, EmpireCity said: I disagree with this and most theaters will hold Sing as it will be the only animated kids movie out. Empire is right. There is one thing that took me a few years before I noticed, but the fact of the matter is every theater will ALWAYS have a kids movie available at all times. You don't have to keep sci-fi movies or comedies, but you will keep an animated movie until the next one comes out, guaran-damn-teed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FilmBuff Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 It pisses me off a future sci-fi classic like Arrival will barely scrape by 100 million dollars. It deserved so much more. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sing was only slightly better than Pet's. And Pets was my worse animated movie of the year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the fuck is The Resurrection of Galvin Stone? January poses no threat to any of these Holiday films. The first competition is February 10th.
