StarSaber Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I liked nothing more than Dinosaurs as a Kid, Jurassic Park, The Land Before Time, We're Back, all 3 childhood favorites of mine. Couldn't be more excited for this. Haha. My parents say I liked a sitcom called Dinosaurs when I was a baby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StarSaber Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Do you remember it? Nope. Didn't even know what it was until they mentioned it. I want to find it somewhere and see what it is like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jandrew Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 (edited) You are wrong. TWO isn't flooding. PLANES ll isn't gonna make 200 M let alone 150 M. Or maybe not even 100 M. TGD and HTTYD will be the best options for families. It doesn't matter how many there are, its business depends on other factors too. Just because there is 2 "big" animated movies opening next summer doesn't mean they'll hit $300M. $300M for an animated movie is extremely tough. DM2 was an outlier, Epic, Turbo, and Croods were norms. People are saying Dragon will hit $300M, but why? Because DM2 did it. Just because DM2 did it doesn't mean it'll become a common thing. People did the same thing with Skyfall. Now that Skyfall hit $1b, every 2D movie can now. No. AMWTDITW is the only western next summer, so does that mean its guaranteed success? Dracula is the only major horror, so does that mean success? No. And keep in mind, people look at it for a calendar year. Most people don't realize the summer movie season ends after Labor Day or begins in May, especially when you're still focused on school, exams, and work. Money is tight now a days. Next year before summer you have LEGO, The Nut Job, MP&S, and Rio 2 in just animation. Then in other family you have Muppets Most Wanted, Cap Am 2, Heaven is for Real, and Divergent. So people already have a lot of options before summer. TGD and Dragon will be big, but just because they're the only 2 in the summer doesn't mean they have a free pass. Families that shelled out for Rio 2 and/or Cap 2 may not want to shell out again for TGD, especially if TASM2 is in the mix. TGD is practically guaranteed about $200M thanks to Pixar's fanbase and many families, but getting that extra $100M is a tough task. Many families also choose to opt out and wait until Redbox or so. $1 is easier than $30+. Stop looking at it in a calendar month perspective and more in a broad perspective. Also, just because its not G or PG or animated doesnt mean it wont pull families. Like it or not, TMNT will be a factor, TF4, TASM2, Maleficient, FF7, etc. Dragon and TGD are the only "big" animated movies coming next summer, not big "family" movies.

John Marston Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 bad news for Good Dinosaur. Dragon 2 now only opens two weeks after 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Marston Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 you know, what is scheduled for Thanksgiving Weekend 2014? That may not be a bad place to put it if they feel they should avoid Dragon 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainJackSparrow Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I think this should move a week earlier, even with X Men taking many screens... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MovieMan89 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Too bad JP4 got moved out of next summer. It could have been the summer of dragons and dinosaurs. I like the sound of that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blankments Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Just move it up two weeks and it'll be fine. I'd love to do a double feature of TGD and Godzilla. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zackzack Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 (edited) bad news for Good Dinosaur. Dragon 2 now only opens two weeks after I am more worried about the effect of GODZILLA on both DRAGON2 & GOOD DINO. How many Gigantic Monsters that GA can handle in a month? Universal/JP4 is smart to move out of the bloodbath. PACRIM has both Gigantic Monsters & Gigantic Robots, and it is a pretty well mounted production, and the audience stayed away. GODZILLA has only Gigantic Monsters. Audience may come but not in droves. Later, they see the ads for GOOD DINO, and they will go: "Another giant lizard movie? I will wait for the BluRay" And a few weeks later, they see the standee for DRAGON2, and they will go: "Pixar just changes the poster? Meh...." Why does Hollywood do this, again & again??

Ladybug Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I don't think HTTYD2's move will impact TGD too much. If MU and DM2 can coexist within two weeks of one another without being too much of an impact on one another, then shouldn't these two do the same?
