Already this movie feels dated. Shoulda named the duck Floss-Floss

[Valonqar]

Looks awful to me but then I remember that, once upona  time, people went gaga for Chipmunks.

$175 million budget

[dudalb]

History will repeat itsel and this Doolittle will share the fate of the 1967 Doolittle.

If they really spent 175 Million on this, they must have little confidence in this film by not opening it in the Holiday season. This film has holiday attraction written all over it.

Underestimate it at your own peril!!

[JB33]

This looks pretty bad but maybe it'll surprise. Either way RDJ will be fine. Can't wait to see what he does next (Yes, I'm already looking past Dolittle).

There was a TV spot during Macy's where the dog character scratches its ass across the floor

 

Lame humor aside, WHY THE HELL IS IT SO HARD FOR CG COMPANIES TO DO CGI DOGS.

This is the red flag. It doesn't make sense to release a family movie in January. Maybe they thought December competition would have killed it?

I think it looks silly but I honestly feel like it might do better than we're expecting. RDJ is gambling some serious goodwill here tho.

How so? If people want to watch the movie after this trailer, it's on them.

Biggest problem the film has is that 175 Million price tag. It Is really going to need a good reception to have a chance.

And the not releasing this film in the Holiday season....when it seems a perfect fit.....is to me a red flag the studio does not have a lot of faith in the film.

And RDJ has done some ono Iron Man/Holmes films since Iron Man, none have done well.

Aside from the 10 blockbusters he's made in the the last 11 years, and a couple of other smaller hits films (Tropic Of Thunder, Due Date)  some haven't done as well - aka The Soloist and The Judge - two Rated R dramas (and The Judge still did $90m WW)

 

As if Iron Man was an automatic $300m+ Dom property and his performance didn't it make it the lynch pin to a 20B+ universe.

 

Or that Holmes or Ritchie movies were regularly making $500m WW with out him.

 

The budget is high and the movie might be bad but it's failure or under performance won't be a referendum on RDJ's star power.   So far his star power is why the trailer has $21m+ views, 400K likes on the main channel and BOP has it projected at $40m/$145m.  It's certainly not the IP or the quality of he trailer.

OH, I agree it's not a referendum on RDJ drawing power, I am just not convinced he a huge draw outside of Tony Stark..or Holmes

I think that saying this film is going to do Avengers numbers because of RDJ is pretty silly, but then the guy saying it is one of our resident trolls.

One think though, in the Books Chee Chee is a cute little monkey, not King Kong's KId Brother.....
