Taylor Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 I fucking love this show, but I don't see a movie making that much. Hope I'm wrong, though. Quote
Eric Olsen Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 I'm surprised this out of all of the FOX shows is getting a film, but Bob's is easily one of my favorite shows on TV, I can't really complain. 2 Quote
grim22 Posted October 4, 2017 Author Posted October 4, 2017 It's a good show, but I don't think it has the nostalgia built in to power it to big numbers. Simpsons waited almost 20 years for the movie. A South Park, or a Family Guy movie would do pretty good numbers IMO. 1 Quote
YM! Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 This along with TTG, and Spongebob I can see $100M domestic. Quote
WrathOfHan Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 I'm way behind on the show, but this is super cool. Quote

WrathOfHan Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 With the way the show's ratings are, this will be lucky to cross 50M. Quote

Rick and Morty the Movie would be good although I'm not sure if WB would be up for it. Quote

A legit Family Guy movie was rumored for years, and MacFarlane said he was interested, but nothing ever got off the ground. As for Rick and Morty, I wouldn't mind a feature film, but I'd prefer if the creators were on board with it. Harmon and Roiland don't strike me as guys who are interested in doing a film right away.

Rorschach Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 I'd say I'm more of a casual fan of the show but this sounds like it has a lot of potential. Can't wait to see it. Quote

I think MacFarlane wanted a Family Guy movie to be a musical which I would up for! MacFarlane spreads himself too thinly with FG, American Dad and The Orville that a FG movie would need something to be cancelled or take a hiatus. Quote

A Family Guy film could also be the series finale for the show. It should have ended a while back anyway, even with Fox continuing to renew it, mostly because it does well for them ratings wise.

Both Family Guy and The Simpsons are huge moneymakers for FOX and unless they find another animated series that can do as well, they won't end. I know MacFarlane developed a pilot for a reboot of The Flintstones but FOX only liked it but not enough to commit to a series and the rights went back to Warner Bros. Personally, I'd rather see an FOX animated sitcom which is more like a friendship or workplace series like Futurama rather a family although Bob's Burgers is both a family based sitcom and a workplace sitcom.
