Now I'm sad not only is the LCU in serious trouble but WAG biggest hit was TLM and will likely be that way for a while.

The Lego Movies aren't in any trouble.

It doesn't have anywhere near the groundswell of enthusiasm or excitement as LEGO MOVIE. After next week, it'll start losing audiences (not completely, but steadily) to ROCK DOG, BATB, and POWER RANGERS.

 

Did Tele just say Rock Dog was competition to Lego Batman?

And even if it doesn't have much enthusiasm as TLM, it still has quite a bit.  WoM might be able to propel it to a decent sum, and possibly 200M, by the end of its run.

[Dementeleus]

O/U between 200 and 150 is 175. I say under. Who wants to bet?

[filmlover]

I don't see why people are freaking out over this LEGO Batman number? Pretty much expected in my books. It's performing somewhere between a family movie and a fan-driven tentpole.

Lego Batman while respectable will do $170M-$185M domestic gross. Luckily internationally there is an increase which will get it to $400M

Ninjago will do barely $100M to $125M

The Lego Movie Sequel might be another HTTYD2 type situation.

I don't see how a 54M number is expected when pretty much everyone had 60M pegged as a near certainty a few weeks ago.

To be fair DHD at early tracking had it at $50M. I think 50SD and JWC2 may have hurt it more than anticipated like KFP2 and HTTYD2. Had Lego Batman had been released a week earlier $60M+ would have been more possible. Basically don't put animated sequels near other sequels.

No it wouldn't have.  It would've struggled to reach 40M.  It was Super Bowl weekend.

[WrathOfHan]

Fifty Shades stands a pretty decent chance at hitting 100M. Never bet against Grey, I suppose.

My bad I meant later.

Now that I think about it LB could have opened over MLK weekend easily

HTTYD2 also made more than the first one worldwide.

This is a spinoff, like Ninjago. And Batman or not, it shouldn't have to put up LEGO Movie-like numbers to qualify as a success. Now, if The LEGO Movie Sequel does like $150m, we can talk about the long-term viability of the franchise.

 

You don't have to be such a pessimist based on one spinoff.

[YM!]

Also starting to think that most animated movies this year will underperform or do small business similar to 2011 due to how big 2015 and 2016 was big similar to 2009 and 2010.

Well that's why you don't have unrealistic expectations for movies.

...But they weren't unrealistic?  The film had the Batman brand and the Lego brand meshed into one, and strong online buzz and presales.  60M should have been achievable given all that.

I still think you're overstating the appeal based solely off Batman, and forgetting that spin-offs usually don't do as well.

[DAR]

I'm not disappointed with LB.. It's still making money
