I saw this flop trailer in front of BR. I thought it was Artemis Fowl.

SO I been getting posters for this at my theater job for weeks and I haven't seen any other advertisement for this.

This is going to do sub 10m total. Maybe even sub 5m.

I can see it doing okay in the U.K. although it comes after HTTYD3 and Lego Movie 2 which means it’ll a distant third choice for families.

i can sense the same B.O result like Mortal Engine......

I've gotten this trailer a ton recently. The January release keeps me from setting expectations too high but hoping for the best

[Morieris]

I saw Spiderverse twice and have never seen this trailer in front of it, and was a bit late to Aquaman to see those trailers. Maybe it was in front of that.

I thought this was modern retelling of the Kipling Story "the Man who would be King"

I’ve seen the trailers for this in front of a handful of movies recently. Too bad it looks like an obvious flop.

This looks like a fun movie for kids, I’m sure I would have loved it if I was a lot younger.

100% on RT and 74 on metacritic.

I'm really happy that this film has managed to get great reviews. It's got some hurdles to overcome but it should be able to benefit from a dry January slate. LEGO Movie 2 doesn't come out until two weeks after do it has a bit of time to itself.

That trailer, (is it new?) actually wasn’t bad. Plus I think it helps their school uniforms look like Gryphyndor(sic) robes.

 

I don’t see it being big, but it might make some money. Younger daughter saw it with me and she didn't want to admit she was into it, but I think she was.

Shame, this movie's pretty good. Hope it holds well next weekend.

The teen that played the young alter-ego to Patrick Stewart's Merlin the wizard stole the show 😂😂. Odd spell casting technique 😂. Good entertainment, B-minus.
