Shrek 5. That is taking the animation record.

 

For a Box Office and personal standpoint, Disney’s stronghold is both powerful and very sad.

Yeah, as much as I'm a fan of Disney and everything they're doing, I really badly want to see some seriously big tentpoles from other studios. If not other studios, just something different. I'm not saying I'm experiencing superhero fatigue, but I do want some variety. I wish Disney or some other studio could come up with another adventure epic along the lines of Pirates of the Caribbean. Those movies epitomized the fun summer blockbuster. I had a huge grin on my face the whole time watching Dead Man's Chest in the theatre!

I think Shrek 5 is practically a lock. A Pokémon Red/Blue adaptation has a chance but it may be too repetitive for the GA and would have to be split into parts. Harry Potter 9 can also do it and something from DC, eventually.

I honestly don't think Red and Blue would make a good movie. Cursed Child probably would bring a lot of fans and audiences but that's a while off.

 

Shrek 5, I can't see audience being interested, live action Shrek from Universal could potentially be Beauty and the Beast 2.0.

I think studios are taking risks with more fun blockbusters, Disney has Jungle Cruise next year and Universal has Red Notice which admit-fully is a November flick. The Meg last year proved dumb fun can be a hit.

If all of those other movies are that small, Endgame is going over $200m.

You know what would be funny?

If Endgame broke the old OW record again on its 2nd weekend

Agreed on both but Shrek 5 is underestimated

 

Never doubt nostalgia and Universal’s marketing (the fact that they were able to get Dragon 3 almost to a $60M OW speaks volumes). Enough 90s/00s kids love the first two and would be willing to ignore the awful 3rd and the underrated 4th, if the 5th delivers. Also Shrek was originally supposed to be live action/CGI and if it really didn’t work then, it wouldn’t work now. Shrek like (to name a few getting remakes) Aladdin and Lion King should stay in their original forms because live action can’t capture the same energy to the same effect. Sure dozens will go for nostalgia and enjoy it but it won’t be able to fully recapture the magic of the original.

You think The Meg has trilogy potential or is it a one-off? Having read the first few books, I could go for more Jonas Taylor stories.

 

I'm also a huge fan of Steve Berry's Cotton Malone books and would love if those could catch on as movies!

[CloneWars]

It's mind-blowing this is the most anticipated movie of all-time, even more anticipated than TFA by leaps and bounds. It makes past blockbusters OW look like mid-openers.

[Silver Surfer]

I honestly was expecting this whole weekend to be one big nervefest where all of us would be biting our nails wondering if it could crawl past 300m. And here we are, and there is literally zero doubt about crossing 300m, none. What was once impossible has become inevitable, wow.

We're not seeing any movie come close to this for years, if not more than a decade.

I am really rooting for Jungle Cruise being big, I know the last thing Disney needs is another powerful franchise but hopefully it causes them to take more risks.

Me too! Right up my alley, and it's "original".

I think technology has improved enough for it to work as a live action film, Shrek could be prosthetics rather than CGI and it be the perfect parody of Disney's live action films.

I imagine we'll get a sequel but I don't see it until 2022 at the earliest since Warner Bros' summer 2021 slate is packed.

I don't see anything big enough from any other studio to do it. The next Jurassic World movie will be the closest thing, and even that won't do it.

After how awful Fallen Kingdom was, I’d expect the next JW to decrease, so I’d say it has absolutely zero chance of getting anywhere near JW1, nevermind Endgame.

Does Dolby (or other "premium formats") get the expanded "Shot On Imax" aspect ratios?

No, only IMAX has the expanded ratio as it was filmed with their cameras. All other formats get the standard scope ratio.

[The Futurist]

They re doing Shrek ?

Re-Boot ?

Se-quel ?

Re-quel ?

Space Jam 2 still is doing $400M DOM.

if WAG puts every character they own in it, that'd be a huge selling point.

Yeah, instead we are biting our nails if this can crawl past 400m 😛
