It's doing less than EMOJI with 6% RT so that does not explain it.

BOSS BABY reviews are close to NINJAGO with 52% on RT.

DM3 is barely fresh at 61%.

 

CAP UNDERPANTS has the best reviews with 87% on RT. It opened a little below Emoji with worse legs (3.0x vs Emoji's 3.5x).

My post wasn't clear, I apologize. I'm not blaming the reviews, I'm just mentioning them. 

 

I think Ninjago failed because it looks like a straight to DVD premise and people mostly don't give a crap about Ninjas.

The fact that IT's beating Ninjago in its third weekend. WB right now though

Yikes for Ninjago. I was expecting a decline but not a 22m OW. This is Storks all over again for WGA.

They need to seriously assess their business model given how weak their OS runs are and the potential decline of the Lego franchise moving forward. They don't have OS saving them.

They're ahead of Sony but nowhere near the big three studios: Illumination, WDAS and Pixar. They need to amp up their strategies.

Record breaking for Friend Request lol, wonder if they’ll put that on the dvd cover. 

 

Dreadful for Lego. 

 

Yay for IT. $266m

yeah. but wag shouldn't feel much low on lego franchise. they got to use it wisely. but the way hollywood treated 3d after avatar's success, one can expect this overkill of lego. when do we get lego-horrors (conjuring, annabelle, it...)

I think after The Lego Movie 2 inevitably declines a lot from the first movie they'll move on to regular CG animated movies and try their hand at more internationally friendly films. 

[Rman823]

I honestly feel like the type of audience that would see Friend Request has probably already watched a copy online long before it's official US release date.

Wish I could comment on IT but Deadline didn't post a Friday number. I just see XM and I don't know what that means.

Beren and Luthiens story is great, perhaps better than all in Silmarillion barring that of Turin. But the problem with their story is that it heavily revolves around the Silmarils and to tell the story of the Silmarils you need to tell a huge portion of Silmarillion (nearly the whole of Quenta Silmarillion). 

 

The story of Gondolin is good but I prefer children of hurin.

 

Btw if you have not already, I would recommend reading The Unfinished Tales after you finish Silmarillion. Its a great book if you wanna delve deeper into the world of LoTR. There are a lot of stories and information in that book. 

Yep, that is next for me  And History of Middle Earth after that.

Why not? I'm hoping for 10.5mil. Deadline does not know how to extrapolate so it very well might be.

Wouldn't surprise me if Lego Movie 2 flops. This lego shit has clearly run it's course

Same here. Too much spin offs, too soon. Cool concept though and Lego Batman was great.

Nice. Unfortunately I never went beyond The Book of Lost Tales (Volume 1). I hope to someday get back to it and finish it. 

 

Right now I am looking forward to Origins by Dan Brown. I've enjoyed all of his books and I think I will like this too (at least based on reading the prologue to the book). I still have to read The Cursed Child. Thats been sitting with me for ages.

Why is that awesome? I can only imagine the hissy fit you would throw if someone said the same about your favourite DC movies. So this is strange

Origins is my most anticipated book this year! A few more days! Can't wait!

It's truly unfortunate, since Lego Batman was great. I just think these releases should be WAY more spaced out. I mean, two Lego spin-offs in the same year is truly pushing their luck.
