$8.5m is truly awful. WB really ballsed this one up. 

[Ezen Baklattan]

Fuck everything.

Look at those sexy mule legs!😍

So about a $31m OW and a 100 total if it manages not to collapse against Dragon. The Blade Runner 2049 of animated comedy sequels

[sfran43]

Oof!

I just hope HTTYD 3 does good at the very least.

Lego underperforming will benefit HTTYD.

Could Lego 2 actually debut below $30M? Yeeeeessssshhhh.

 

This actually feels reminiscent of Happy Feet Two, another sequel to an acclaimed WB animated box office hit that came exactly five years after the first and cratered.

With the way WB develops movies (i.e. throwing stuff at the wall all at once and see which one sticks), you guys are still surprised at the dismal opening weekend of LEGO movie part 2? 

 

Wait until you see the 10 million OW of "The Trench" (the so-called spin-off of Aquaman universe). This hopeless studio just never learns and they have already milked Fantastic Beasts and LEGO franchise to death. It will soon be DCEU's turn.  

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.

Let's all just ignore the studio troll.

Lol Happy Feet Two is the biggest bomb ever

Darwin lost belief in a loving God when he discovered the parasitic wasp, I lost my belief after that $8.5M Friday.
