That be an opinion.

 

Though not denying their box office power has decreased.

WB was the only studio to not have any flops last year, so I don't know how one bomb means they'll only have flops from now on. 

DISCLAIMER: I don't hate WB as some of you said. Just as many others, I wish this studio to be successful. But sometimes, a son needs to get his ass spanked hard by his father in order to learn from his own mistakes.  That's why I am sometimes critical of WB. The so-called "hatred" is actually out of love. 

 

By the way, your statement is false. WB did have some flops last year.

12 Strong                  budget: 35 million  WW: 70 million

I disagree...like Glass, which dropped from $75M, to $50M, and then to $40M...I think there's interest, but at a price point...and interest didn't turn into purchase b/c the price point wasn't met...

 

As I said, my son is "interested" in a lot of things, and if I was getting tracked, I'd express interest...but I'm not buying without something more...at least not for this level of movie...

Nah, this is cratering enough from the original movie that it's evident that the interest just wasn't there. Ninjago probably damaged the Lego movie brand to the point where there was no recovery.

Interest to buy full price - I agree.

Interest to see - maybe not.  Give me free tickets and my family is there:).

 

I will say - I think the trailer hurt the movie, since it seemed "the twist" was going to be so obvious...now, I have not seen the movie, so I have no idea if the twist plays out or if it was a red herring, but if you think (as an adult) you know the entire plot and the sappy ending before release, gonna tell you that kept the $14/ticket in my pocket for now...no matter what critics say...

[filmlover]

Spider-Man is looking to hold on extremely well despite the arrival of Lego (though that having a much smaller impact than expected probably helped). $200M is out of the question but $190M is possible if it can get a decent expansion following its Oscar win.

[EarlyDeadlinePredictions]

Based on the amount of user ratings on RT, there was interest from hardcore fans (didn't think this franchise had that many) but the general audience seems over Lego movies at this point. 

[ScoobyDoo21]

Wait? what happened to Lego 2? Was it Ninjago's fault? I mean that movie shouldn't have been in theaters. It kind of was eh. seemed like a movie fit for direct-to-video.

Should be on 180 after a 2.7 weekend. Had direct competition and a 20%+ theatre count drop this weekend. Should recover very well over the long weekend coming up. I don't think it will need an expansion to hit 190 dom.

12 Strong isn't a WB movie. They only were involved with US distribution. That is like calling Creed 2 or Blade Runner 2049 a WB film.

[lorddemaxus]

Now that I have seen the film, I am not too sad that it will flop. This works perfectly as an ending to the main franchise and I feel like this flopping or barely breaking even means that WB won't pull a Toys Story 4 and make a sequel. I mean the only way this franchise can move forward from here is to make it about the boy growing up and putting his Lego away but that has already been done quite a lot (like in Toy Story 3).

I agree that narratively this feels like it should definitely be the end of the franchise. Shame the box office is this embarrassing though, as it was a pretty good movie nonetheless. 

 

Looks like WAG is going to need to find another franchise to work off. Scooby Doo?

[MrGlass2]

There is just a lack of interest in movies at the moment, between two highs (Detective Pikachu and the Detective Pikachu trailer).

[Gabriel Sales]

In Brazil, marketing for The Lego Movie 2 was practically zero! 😔

[IronJimbo]

Where are those who thought Alita wouldn't even be number 1 on its OW due to lego movie!

 

Hmmmmmpf!
