Warner is the only studio from the Big 6 (future Big 5) which constantly flops with the animation. Even trashing Emoji from Sony Animation makes much more then this.

Lego Movie, Lego Batman, Happy Feet and The Polar Express were all hits and TTG! was never expected to be a big moneymaker anyway and the budget's low enough that it'll be profitable anyway.

but anyway this can't be compare to Sony Animation or Dreamworks (I'm even not talkng about Illumination, Pixar and Disney Animation).

 

And that's strange, especially for studio which is home for Looney Tunes and was huge player on animation field in the past.

Different time when a 165m movie making 310m at the box office like Polar Express was considered a hit.

Loved it. Not my favorite of the series though, would say below Rogue Nation. Kind of surprised all the twists were very obvious ones.

WB's strength in animation has always been in short form rather than feature length.  They're making progress with Warner Animation Group which is really the relaunched feature arm and they've seen success with The Lego Movie and Lego Batman, don't forget, it took Sony years to get SPA to where it is now, it's not all been hit after hit.

 

I would say the WAG slate does look promising since they're looking beyond Lego and existing WB IPs like Scooby Doo with things like The Ice Dragon, Cat in the Hat and hopefully Bone

It had great legs though considering it opened to $30m but I agree it was super expensive even in 2004.

And has almost certainly turned a very healthy profit over the last 14 years through annual IMAX re-releases/DVD sales/TV rights.

The fact that it gets a re-release every year is proof that we need better Christmas movies.

$16 million for Mamma Mia 2 seems a bit low considering general box-office trends for adult-skewing films in the summer, especially since there's no direct competition.

 

$6.5 million (near-70% bump) 

$9 million (near-40% bump)

$7 million (just-over-20% drop) 

$22.5 million ($78 million 10-day)

 

That might be a bit bullish, but still, $18-20 million seems more likely to me.

Why don't they re-release Die Hard every year.

It's not jumping 70% today, especially seeing how the first increased only 31% in its second Friday

why don't they just re release B A T M A N  R E T U R N S every year?

I mean I'm down. Nothing says Christmas like "Yippee ki yay motherfuckers." Don't know if parents of young children will agree though.

Only if that stops Tim Burton from making new movies

In a dramatically different box office climate.

 In 2004, over your budget domestic, no doubt.

 

Hitch:

https://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=hitch.htm

Total Lifetime Grosses

Domestic:	$179,495,555	48.8%
+ Foreign:	$188,604,865	51.2%
= Worldwide:	$368,100,420

 

Made 490m in revenues, if Polar express played similarly could have reached 200m on the domestic home ent + domestic tvs revenues alone.

 

Tallagada nights:

https://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=talladeganights.htm

Total Lifetime Grosses

Domestic:	$148,213,377	90.9%
+ Foreign:	$14,752,800	9.1%
= Worldwide:	$162,966,177

 

Made 320m in revenues, almost doubled is box office in revenues lol, Tallagada nights could have had a 150m production budget and would have still turned a profit, so I imagine Polar Express was more than ok, didn't need year's before becoming a success, was probably right away seen has a hit.
