It had one week less of summer, lower initial audience scores and Kubo out the next week. With PD's multi that's $95.65m - so $100m looks more likely than not for CR I think it has a good shot at 4x multi... apparently audiences are loving it and don't have any competition, the next "big movie" is The Nun next month Forbes are saying CR costs $ 75M maximum, so Disney will probably be happy with $ 100 - 120M DOM and $ 200 - 220M WW 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the critics seem to like those better? But the audience scores on RT for Christopher Robin (a 92%) are higher than Paddington (80%) and Paddington 2 (88%) I don't think the critical reception towards a movie matters to me in my enjoyment of a movie so much as it seems to be the opposite FOR EVERYONE ELSE. But hey, if someone wants to be told what movie to like, go right ahead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 $75m is a solid budget for CR, OS wise, it's likely to do a lot better in many places, I won't be shocked if it overperforms in the UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieMan89 Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 In the Paddington vs Pooh critics war, it should be noted the 2011 animated Pooh was a critical darling. So it's not like critics hate this brand or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeWeese Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Just got back from the matinee showing thank god I was in a row to myself from about 3 minutes in I was bawling like a school girl I don’t give a damn if this movie loses its ass at the BO it’s one of the finest pictures Disney has ever produced. So much feels 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happened to this being a must-see event of the year. I guess Disney will half to settle with The BFG and Pete's Dragon Numbers. All 3 are fine films especially considering the smaller budgets of Pete’s dragon and CR. As much as I enjoy the big budget blockbusters Disney has come out with recently I.e. lion king and beauty and the beast. These smaller art house takes on classics have been their best work Pete’s dragon and Christopher Robin were both thoughtful well made movies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Craig Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 With no budget posted is $25m seen as a good opening by Disney? I feel since Pooh has been pushed aside in recent years that I'd call this a win. Getting those characters back out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats why Solo wasn't 90 percent. They couldn't afford to dish out the big bucks and they've completely ran out of cash flows after Incredibles 2 hence AMATW's subpar 88 percent score. Trying to figure out if this guy is joking or if he really buys into this conspiracy theory bullshit.

It really thrives when Pooh & friends are on the scene, but when they aren’t? Let’s just say I could hear M:I-F next door and had the visuals in my head matching up with the sounds. But, you know what? I still preferred it to the Paddington films. Pooh is just more lovable to me and I never cared about Paddington as a kid. I would give it a 3/5. I pretty much agree; the film really drags when Pooh and Company are not on the screen. I have to agree with the critics that the wife and daughter are both pretty blandly written. I would give it a B minus. It' certainly not bad, but it's not as well done as the 2 Paddinton movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Paddington vs Pooh feud here is just proof that a lot of people just plain old WANT to pick a fight. it's a case that the critics just felt that CR was not as well done as the Paddington films. Still a little amused that people don't get that you can have two films with the same ingrediants, but one will be a hit and the other a flop depeding on how they are handled. Are people here really that shallow? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk are of around 75m budget, but in the context of a how many billions franchise, how it maintain the franchise alive among the public is really what matter here I would imagine. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the merch sales is what makes Disney attempt a new Pooh movie every so often. Has to make an absolute killing compared to how popular it is at the BO.

fastclock Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 I've watched the CR movie on Saturday and it's a perfectly fine movie. Some amusing moments and a couple of moments where things become teary. So, the movie works well if Pooh is in your memory somewhere. Hence, I think that is the reason the audience score is really high. They feel connected to the movie a lot, different with the critics. Paddington, in comparison, is a well-made movie. Not many people knew about Paddington before (I didn't). So, critics may love it, but it probably doesn't get to be personal for the audience.

TwoMisfits Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 In good news, this movie will likely have the highest 1st Tuesday bump of the summer (even higher than Teen Titans Go). My discount day theater has already sold more tickets on that day than it did for any day opening weekend...I guess $5 (or less) is the right price for this movie... Although the dichotomy between Monday and Tuesday sales is so amusing to see - 5pm showing today - 3 tickets sold / tomorrow - 150 tickets sold. 7:30 pm today - 4 tickets sold / tomorrow - 170 tickets sold...crazy... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if the bump might be neutered slightly since it's a holiday in Canada today, which may boost numbers slightly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Paddinton films were better paced,,whateas CR drags at times, particularly in the first half hour. And I repeat the writing for Evelyn and Madeleine could have been a lot better. It's a good film, but not quite as good as it could have been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Movies4Life Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 (edited) Surprisingly, Christopher Robin had a $3.1M Monday and a 52% drop From Sunday. Not bad, especially as Pete’s Dragon fell almost 60% from it’s Sunday. Edited August 7, 2018 by Movies4Life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
