AJG Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 I fucking love Bob's Burgers... but what's the lowest opening weekend for an animated Disney film??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadOlCatSylvester Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 This movie just got pulled from the release schedule in my country. A sign of things to come (Disney's CinemaCon panel is just a couple of days away)? Or is our distributor just cutting their losses on a brand that is virtually non-existent outside the US?

Their lowest since the 2000's would be Mars Needs Moms, produced by ImageMovers Digital, which had a $6.9M OW. If we only count movies fully produced by Disney, it would be 2011's Winnie The Pooh which had a $7.8M 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudalb Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Irony is it is actually pretty funny according to the reviews...my concern was 90 minutes might have been too long for the show's shtick.....but it will still probably vanish as the box office.

El Squibbonator Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 (edited) I found out something that could change things regarding the way we evaluate this movie. To elaborate, it's come to my attention that the $60 million figure for the budget of The Bob's Burgers Movie DOES NOT COME FROM A RELIABLE SOURCE. It was taken from a website called Filmik, which has a history of making such statements about movie budgets with no official information to back them up. While I obviously can't speak for what the movie's actual budget is, the fact remains that we should not be taking the statement that it cost $60 million as fact. As for what it did cost, I obviously can't give an authoritative answer. However, I do think I can make an educated guess. Instead of comparing it to The Simpsons Movie, we might be better served comparing it to Beavis and Butt-Head Do America or South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut. Both of these movies cost roughly $20 million, which is about a third of what The Simpsons Movie cost. Compared to The Simpsons, which is a globally-beloved show watched by both adults and children, South Park and Beavis and Butt-Head have narrower target audiences and are less popular outside the United States. Bob's Burgers is vaguely comparable in that respect. Consider, too, that even in their prime, South Park and Beavis and Butt-Head were nowhere near the cornerstones of pop culture that The Simpsons was. Spending $60 million on a movie made sense for The Simpsons, but not really for any other primetime cartoon. It would not surprise me, then, if the real budget for The Bob's Burgers Movie is closer to that of South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut than The Simpsons Movie.

And though sucessful, Bob's Burger was not nearly as sucessful as Beavis and Butthead or South Park..let alone the Simpsons. All three had a much bigger cultural footpring then Bob's Burgers. I would say it was more on a level of Ren and Stimpy sucess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Squibbonator Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 (edited) Regardless of how popular Bob's Burgers itself is, I feel I have good reason to be skeptical of Filmik's statement that the movie's budget was $60 million. More significantly, if we assume the budget is indeed closer to $20 million, then a $10-12 million opening weekend might not be as bad as we've been making it out to be.
