meriodejaneiro Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Had Nutcracker had any chance of getting over 100M ... Disney would have pushed CR over it too ... but ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalismanRing Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Bizarre, for all the hoops they jumped through for WIT they barely tried with CR. All they had to do was give it double features with Wreck It Ralph 2 or even just wait and do it with Poppins for on w/e. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is bizarre (same would go for the Dwayne Johnson movie that did look like it had an easy opportunity for double feature with Meg that was really a good match for a nice drive in double feature), when it is not Disney there is always some chance that the domestic distributor is not the same than the people getting the 100M intl TV bonus, but for Disney....? Maybe concerning CR 1) Is more perceived has an publicity for a giant merchandising franchise one of the world biggest, how much it do is important for how good of an ads it is, but how much money the movie do isn't. 2) Movie is already profitable without that bonus unlike say WIT and there is some understanding that they need to choose their time they use that trick, that the people signing those contract with those 25-50-100-200m benchmark do it knowing studio will game it a little bit, but if they do it all the time they will stop.

DAJK Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Pisses me off that WiT was the one they gave the 100M 'crown' to and not this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Prime Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 I think the main reason they pushed for Wrinkle instead of CR is because Disney thought they could push all their movies to 100M. By the time Christopher Robin could have gotten help through fudging, Nutcracker utterly flopped, so Disney had no incentive to keep their film going. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
