Wonder what kind of numbers a live action Mulan would open too. That's were I'm hoping they go with the next live action of these films. Not caught up to date with Disney's plans though.

 

Here's a nice summary article of all the planned live-action remakes:

Mulan is slated for a November 2, 2018 release. I'm looking forward to both Mulan and Aladdin, as it appears they are going in the right direction for both and will not be whitewashing either film, thankfully. 

 

Peace,

Mike

It did 306k. Not bad considering how few theaters it's in.

Shit. That puts it on track for easily over $4m.

HAHA I COMPLETELY FORGOT.  Have they even reported numbers for it?

 

Original film competes with remake of a Disney animated film. Original film is forgotten. People complain there's no original films out there.

$16.3M worth of people saw a live action version of a movie that has been available on home video for almost 25 years.

I hated BATB if it helps .

 

Also my #1 stan for now is a quasi-original film, so there's that.

Mulan is by far and away the best of the Disney princess movies. I actually am only a fan of Mulan. The other Disney princess movies range from good to meh (pre-Tangled, that is). 

 

Mulan will do absolute bonkers in China. $500m+ easily.

Just because a movie has appeal to kids doesn't mean it won't have a frontloaded as hell weekend. People think Harry Potter and Star Wars don't have appeal to kids or somethin?

 

The movie had bigger pre-sales than CW yet did almost $9m less on Thursday.  That does not indicate frontloaded-ness. 

 

It will be more frontloaded than say Jungle Book but there's nothing to indicate an HP or Twlight effect

I really don't care if you hated BATB or not. I'm not rooting against BATB, I'm rooting for the Belko Experiment. People can like both.

Mulan will be successful but not Jungle Book or BATB successful, I think if it can do similar numbers to Maleficent or Cinderella, Disney will be satisfied.

 

I really want Hunchback to be done as a live action movie musical but i think it would be a huge risk because it's not a happy story.

I'm really surprised it didn't go wider. Now I feel vindicated after getting that trailer shoved down my throat

I also am rooting for Belko Experiment.  I just forgot about it amidst the BATB-madness.

No, it's either-or

 

BO is clearly zero sum

I hope the cast it's Marvel-great

Honestly I'm gonna temper my expectations for all live-action Disney remakes going forward.  I was spoiled by the one-two punch of Jungle Book and Pete's Dragon last year.

Many still have the ability to dream and want some Disney magic back, 100% understandable

And some have the ability to dream without any Disney "magic" at all.

$110m more than Furious 7? It will obviously do well, but I don't think it will set records.
