The premiere seems to be next Monday, so probably Monday/Tuesday?

Oh wait there's an advanced screening tonight it seems, so maybe reviews might come a little sooner.

In germany the press screenings are next week and I think there's no embargo so at least international reviews should drop then.

 The buzz for this movie seems really dead. Don't see many kids talking about going to see it.  I think this is going to have more of a Pete's Dragon and saving mr. Banks type run. Definitely not the monster hit people with predicting after the trailer.

This should open to high-$20M. Maybe. At least Disney presumably (and wisely) kept the budget on the low side so it probably doesn't need much to make a profit.

Movies with sweet and kind bears just don't seem to resonate domestically.  Maybe this one will be different, but I'm not feeling anything more than tracking for this one right now.

 

It reminded me of Paddington 1 & 2, which is good for quality and bad for potential box office.  The Disney brand will carry it somewhat, but the lack of "old" Moviepass, the abundance of family movies, and the tightness of screens/box office space is gonna hold this down.

Noticed @captainwondyful's wonderful new icon and had to seek out the artwork

I can’t wait. I am just gonna cry in the theater. I think it will do well around our are, too. I overheard two older women were talking about how they can’t wait to see it at the theater on Thursday.  And on the train to SDCC there was a bunch of Gen Z/Millennial girls talking about how cute it looked.

Looks so good.

 Looking at the posters I can kind of see why kids will not be interested in this. It looks kind of creepy and bland

Agreed.

 

They look like horrible old fashioned toys found in a haunted attic.

From Deadline's article for this weekend's box office:

There are four wide releases next weekend (four!) with Disney’s Christopher Robin looking to open in the mid $30Ms much better than its August 2016 live action toon adaptation Pete’s Dragon ($21.5M)

[TalismanRing]

The Disney Store is sold out of all the movie related stuff except for Kanga/Roo - they have underestimated demand for vintage (not creepy you philistines) Pooh & Co.

Mid 30's would ve good I guess. Waiting for the reviews to come out tomorrow

[That One Girl]

I hope the reviews aren’t Pooh
