Dumb will give loss to Disney. $170m of budget + $140m on marketing and p&a = $310m and it is looking for a WW box office under $330m. Next weekend, Pet Sematary will has a new entry, Dumbo. RIP 💀.

$ 140M on marketing where? Captain Marvel spend that and i think the difference between both promotional campaigns are clear.

Really? Overseas it is looking poor.

Except SK / China is doing OK, exactly like DOM.

Huh 140M in marketing. Please go somewhere else with your fake figures. Lol. 140M marketing is what Captain Marvel had. 

Cinderella marketing and p&a cost was $130m and Maleficent $150m according Deadline. 140m looks reasonable to Dumbo.

Are you seriously comparing marketing of Dumbo to Cinderella and Maleficent. Wtf??

Should I compare the budget of Dumbo ($170m) to Cinderella ($95m) and Maleficent ($180m)?

Good start for Dumbo. Not going to be frontloaded at all, so we'll see how high it goes, especially with spring break still in swing for many kids.

when you dont have any info or fact presented and just guesses dont be suprised if people call you for saying stupid things, dont make your opinions facts and also your comparison doesnt make sense either

If Dumbo is making above expectations, i imagine Aladdin will explode. People are seriously underestimating that one and the disney brand

or maybe we don't think poor, purely corporate remakes of already great cartoons should be rewarded with huge box office figures?

See release costs. Yes, $140m is a guess, but release costs aren't cheap for big budgeted movies like this.

[XO21]

What. Dumbo has a $170m budget???. Crazy....

To be fair, being against Disney isn’t an unreasonable stance.  Being against any mega corporation isn’t an unreasonable stance

Agreed, if Dumbo can make $ 50-55M with weak marketing, Aladdin with a much better campaign already could pull at least $ 90M ($ 110M 4-day).

I think it is just easy to root against Disney because of their practices, doesn't mean I want every Disney IP to suffer, I hope dumbo does ok.

It's unreasonable when the same posters aren't anti AT&T, Comcast, Fox, Sony, Viacom. 

 

It's also really fucking boring to read ad nauseam especially when it has nothing to do with the individual films themselves

[MrGlass2]

Dumbo could have been sold as the big Disney Remake event of the year, since this new genre has a lot of fans. Unfortunately it looks like a distant third in hype behind Aladdin and especially TLK.
