Luckily next summer's schedule doesn't have an obvious flop in its roster (unlike this summer which had the failures of King Arthur and Valerian which could be seen coming from miles away). Although that might have to do with most the big titles being continuations from already established brands, none of which are following unsatisfactory predecessors (like most of this summer's underperforming sequels).

Also I noticed animation wise the Summer 2018 slate outside of TI2 looks kind of weak.

They have a standee of that creepy looking bear at my theater that I heard someone say "what the fuck is that?" while passing by it the other week. Yet another Sundance title to fail in transcending the festival circuit.

I got the trailer before A Ghost Story, and it tells literally nothing about the movie. I'm not surprised at all it isn't going to find an audience because of marketing.

Right now Fandango is advertising a sweepstakes for Ingrid Goes West on their homepage. I definitely think Neon isn't joking around with going wide.

Yeah, I even saw an ad on TV yesterday. They're certainly giving it a big marketing push for an indie. Would be nice if both this and Wind River were relative hits for Olsen, it feels like these two are the most notable projects she's landed (outside of her supporting roles in Godzilla and the Marvel films) since she broke out in Martha Marcy May Marlene almost six years ago.

A Ghost Story isn't exactly lighting things up either (actuals)

2019 has a shitton of animated sequels. 4 could go $300M+ (TLMS, TS4, F2, and Pets 2), Dragon 3 could do $200M+, and Angry Birds 2 and Spongebob 3 can drum up some nice business.

"Made mostly with IMAX cameras, Nolan’s latest grossed $4 million this weekend from IMAX screenings alone."

"The $100 million World War II drama earned another $17.6 million in weekend three, a drop of just 34% from last weekend. That is a terrific hold and gives the picture a $133.556m 17-day total, with $29.8m of that coming from IMAX alone."

 

22.7% IMAX share in its 3rd weekend, 22.3% IMAX share overall....

Yeah, A Ghost Story is another movie where the trailer wasn't appealing at all to a GA. At least that had a general outline of the plot in its trailer.

I think the Charlie Brown sheet over the head conceit just did it in for any GA breakout.

Any reports on actuals?

Nah, the trailer is pretty upfront that it's a slow arthouse film. That killed it.

[MCKillswitch123]

Actuals, where art tho?

This won't help 2018 summer animated...

 

"Update: Paramount’s animated feature Amusement Park is now scheduled to open on March 15, 2019 instead of Aug. 10, 2018 the previous release date announced by the studio at CinemaCon."

EDIT: Maybe Barbie should swipe that date...

 

EDIT 2: And if I'm anyone with an original animated concept that works, I'm chucking it into next summer...Incredibles 2 and Hotel Trans 3 are the only confirmed summer animated releases (plus the unknown DC one)...2018 summer is desperate for a premier animated concept to battle with the retreads...

Hotel Transexual?

[YM!]

Incredibles 2 is now set to dominate. HT3 will do KFP3 numbers at most ($140M). I wouldn't be surprised if TI2 does $500M+ due to nostalgia and lack of 4 quadrant animated films.

That might be a better concept than a horror movie retread in the dead of summer...and I liked the 1st 2 movies and saw them in theater:)...

Warner Bros Pictures has an untitled animated movie set for June 1st 2018, opening against Deadpool 2.

Yeah, that was the extra one I referenced...but you know, I'm starting to think next summer, we'll all be talking about how Coco should have released next August and it would have cleaned up, just like we talked about how Moana could clean up this summer.  I see it getting lost this fall, but having a now wide-open path next August through its Day of the Dead celebration...

[YM!]

So I did some digging and the last time where had such a dry animated period in the Summer, similar to 2018, was 2009 (with UP and IA3) and 2014 (Dragon 2 and Planes 2).
