I agree.

 

I really like both versions. Plus, the remake is now at $502M DOM, while the animated one made $219M DOM in it's lifetime gross.

 

Let's look at the DOM box office for Disney animated films and their live action remakes:

 

Cinderella (1950) = $93M

Cinderella (2015) = $201M

 

AIW (1951) = $5.2M

AIW (2010) = $334M

 

Sleeping Beauty (1959) = $51M

Maleficent (2014) = $241M

 

101 Dalmatians (1961) = $144M

101 Dalmatians (1996) = $136M

 

The Jungle Book (1967) = $141M

The Jungle Book (2016) = $364M

 

Beauty and the Beast (1991) = $219M

Beauty and the Beast (2017) = $502M

 

It feels like that all of the live action remakes have outgrossed their animated counterparts (with the exception of 1996's 101 Dalmatians, of course).

I am quite intrigued as to how Wonder Woman 's critical and commercial success will impact the narrative around Gotham City Sirens . Maybe a lot more people will be a open now to the idea of superpowered women onscreen, but David Ayer is a polarizing figure. Then again, he still managed to create a product (Suicide Squad and Robbie's Harley) that was a huge hit with teenagers (always a prized commodity for the Hollywood bean counters). 

[a2k]

GOTG1 11.2 + 26.65 (+138%) + 30.99 (+16%) +  25.46 (-17.8%)

WONDR 11.0 + 27.20 (+147%) + 35.20 (+29%) + 29.60 (-16%) ..... [using Gitesh's FSS numbers]

 

Now this doesn't set in stone a GOTG1 like run of 3.5x+ but I feel 3.0x is very likely.

 

Giving it 2.8-3.2x off 103 ow gets 288-330 Dom. 3x gives 309.

 

I will be first lame downer to say I will be disappointed if this goes below 290.

If Fri and Sat hold then 16% drop actually gives 104.5. But either way,

 

 

They didn't hold. Gitesh is reporting both Friday/Saturday are down around $600,000 each.

 

FRI - $38.2m

SAT - $35.2m

SUN - $29.7m

A Cruella movie starring Emma Stone has been stuck in development for some time.

Well, to each his own. 

 

However, i liked it though. I think Emma Watson will be happy that she was in a lot of huge successes. First the Harry Potter-franchise....and now this film.

True.

 

However....i wonder how Emma Stone will handle her potrayal as Cruella De Vil? Cause i think Glenn Close from the 1996's "101 Dalmatians", managed to capture the wickedness of the original version, perfectly.

 

So how will Emma Stone be able to top Glenn Close? We don't know yet.

101 Dalmations doesn't need another live action remake. I question whether a Cruella prequel would be successful 

 

The Disney animated film I think could work as live action would be Hunchback of Notre Dame, the recent stage adaptation is much closer to the original novel with a more tragic ending and I think it would work brilliantly as a film

 Man, I would LOVE to see that. LOVE to see that. However, I was so disappointed in the BATB remake (which I really wanted to love), that I dread what they would do. What Disney was willing to do back then (and got away with) with Hunchback was amazingly dark and twisted (yep, in spite of the gargoyles). Would they make a big-budget live-action remake without declawing it and sanitizing it?

My wish is already granted with aladin being made! That was my favorite movie growing up.

If disney makes HoND, it will be difficult for them to do a tragic ending.

I've been saying for months that this one would do over 100M OW and over 300M dom. One objective down and one to go!

 

I believe she can do it.

I think its more likely they'd make a live action film closer to the novel, it wouldn't need a huge budget maybe $60-70m and they should cut the gargoyles or make them figments of Quasimodo's imagination

My original prediction was 101 with a 3x.

So pissed I changed it.

Because it would make the negative reception BvS had (making more than half your total from opening weekend can in no way be spun as a positive) even more glaring and how much potential it would've had had it enjoyed a positive (or at least significantly less divisive) one.

Nobody's going to think of things in those sort of terms if Wonder Woman outgrosses BvS other than a small niche who want to hold onto harping about BvS out of some obsessive need to shit on it. If Wonder Woman outgrosses BvS there's only going to be three real reactions.

 

1) Wow, DC really course corrected!

2) Wow, Wonder Woman has broken through the glass ceiling!

 

And the one from the studio.

 

3) Wow, every DC movie we've made has just about earned more money than the last! Make more!

Some obsessive online detectives have discovered that Catwoman has a pretty prominent place in the character line-up in the new DC/DCEU logo. Even more prominent than Harley, surprisingly. Kinda cool as Catwoman is a very iconic pop-culture figure, rivalling possibly Wondy herself. I think Geoff Johns will take a lot of care to ensure that Sirens is a quality movie as well. Could possibly rope in Jenkins to help Ayer too.

 

There's assuming Ayer stays and doesn't choose to leave if he is picked for that Scarface remake.

Uhh, I hope they don't fixate on his kinks too much. There was so much more to his life than that. It would be annoying when now that Wonder Woman is seeing success and recognition on a global level, this film suddenly raises a panic that the character is some "perverted leftist agenda" to brainwash little children. Stuff like that was why that silly conservative paranoia took hold of comics in the 1950's, curbing a lot of progressive stories and characters.

While we are still in the subject of Disney live action remakes....i wouldn't mind seeing a Disney remake of Robin Hood.

 

That could have a potential to be faithful to the animated film. What could make this live action Robin Hood-adaptation different and stand out from the others....is that:

 

A. It's Disney.

B. The characters in the animated version, are all anthropomorphic animals. That alone could be something that could make the Disney live action adaptation, more unique than the other "Robin Hood"-films.

C. It's more family-friendly, which makes sense since the 1973 animated version is already family-friendly.

 

All Disney needs to do.....is to pick the fitting voices for the live action-version, and make sure it captures the elements & the charm of what made the 1973 version so enjoyable for the Disney-Fans & the "Robin Hood"-fans. And also....Disney just needs it to be not just a good movie.... but also faithful to it's animated counterpart.
