I guess critics say "OK this is nice if you want to entertain a 5 year old".

 

Are they?

I have only seen like half a dozen RT blurbs and the positive ones were indicating it's not outright obnoxious for adults (the way Minions might be) so that would be a shame if the fresh waves of reviews indicate otherwise.

I was hoping this would be a bit of harmless fun in the vein of the first Secret Life of Pets...

Secret Life of Pets is probably a good comparison.

 

You know how the sequel fell off more than half from the original?

This movie will make less than half of SLOP2.

 

I'm not saying the movie is obnoxious, I'm saying it looks like it's meant for 5 and under crowd.

Ya, I get that, but the reviews I've seen had the good 'ol "audiences of all ages will have something to enjoy" line. So was curious if the upcoming wave of reviews say it's all incredibly young-skewing (and thereby more likely something people will wait for on HBO Max/PVOD).

The reviews are OK... 81% with 21 reviews.

This just looks way too juvenile and I think that's why tracking is indicating a flop.

So all the stars like Rock, Reeve are there just to impress kids?

Given that Minions is still going strong, I'm picturing Storks/Smallfoot numbers from this movie. If it opens around $25 million domestic-- which all signs are pointing to-- then it should at least be able to reach the $200 million mark worldwide. 

[Borobudur]

Even the number of reviews flow into RT suggest that this would be a small movie. 

[El Squibbonator]

Not so small it wouldn't be able to double its $90 million budget worldwide, I would imagine. Probably wouldn't do much more than that, but still.

I wouldn’t say it’s going be a flop - just that expectations were set too high, likely due to the DC branding 

 

Looks to be a fine, but somewhat forgettable, run-of-the-mill animated feature, nothing more. That limits OW rush, but also implies it will likely leg out extremely well given lack of competition, probably topping Lightyear.

Pretty much my thoughts. We should be treating this as a Warner Animation Group movie first and foremost, not a DC movie. The LEGO Movie aside, none of WAG's movies have been major breakout hits. That's not to say they've been failures-- most of them have at least managed to earn back their budgets-- but they haven't had the massive staying power of Disney and DreamWorks. League of Super-Pets will likely be similar in that respect.

Is he the only one promoting the movie now? The final marketing push has been lacklustre for a decently review film that attached to a well known IP and voice cast.

WB told him it’s either this or black adam for a marketing budget so he decided to do this himself.

Pretty great issue. The concept is pretty out there even for a comic book but it pulls it off really well.

It was like an old episode of Justice League Unlimited. It was a nice one-and-done.

Just remember, when anyone tells you that superhero movies are meant to be serious, Batman had a live-cow living with him in the Batcave for months... recently

This was really bad

 

Straight to video level

 

I think Dwayne and Hart recorded their sessions while on lunch break of other movies

The real question is....will Bad Blood (Taylor's Version) come out with this soundtrack in full? I'm not finding an official release on YT.
