ViewerAnon Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 AVATAR 3 opening on 12/22/23 instead of 12/15 seems telling that Disney believes THE LAST JEDI opened a little too early to get a maximum holiday boost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disney has Cruella slotted for December 2020. Releasing a Marvel movie during that month is unlikely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimiQ Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 West side story and Cruella instead of Avatar2.. eh. I am 85% sure it's JC's fault Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCsoft Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 (edited) 2020 is officially the least exciting box office year ever, 1 year delay for Avatar 2 just like that? Another Year!!!! Dec 18, 2020 was a great slot... Oh well, just have to be patient for another 2 and half years... 2020 will be interesting in the sense that we won't see a bunch of films fighting for 2B, they'll be fighting for 1B.

Although I don’t think it’s entirely a good idea to release a movie about skinning puppy alive on a family’s holiday, but what do I know. At this point, we’ll never get to see a Marvel movie in December ever then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DP2 and IW are both superhero genre but different rating while Pikachu being a different genre but similar rating(PG vs PG-13) Yes because DP2 came out in IWs 4th weekend while Pika Pika is coming in Endgame’s 3rd (plus Endgame being bigger means there’s more audience in the 3rd weekend for Pika to take away). Endgame is facing quite a bit more competition going forward than IW did imo. Doesn’t necessarily mean legs going forward will be better or worse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DP2 and IW are both superhero genre but different rating while Pikachu being a different genre but similar rating(PG vs PG-13) DP2 was way bigger competition. DP2 did probably 2x the business that Pika will do, and there's more audience overlap between MCU and DP than MCU and Pika. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, makes a lot more sense, explain why they can place an SW movie in Dec 2024. but also that means they will have Avatar and SW alternating on the pre-Christmas Weekend from 2021 to 2027 (that are 7 years). Big question is what will move to December 2020. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrestrial Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 haha or ugh, $%$§ I need my break or I think I go insane (imagining the different reactions) Exhibitor Relations Co. @ERCboxoffice 8m8 minutes ago More Disney just dropped around 30 release date changes as they incorporate Fox into their master plans--I imagine every other studio in Hollywood just cancelled lunch plans for today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cap Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 (edited) Last weekend my Mom told me that my nephew wanted me to take him to see End Game. I was kind of shook; kid isn't into The Avengers. I don't even know if he's seen any of the movies. He is, though, OBSESSED with Pokemon. I thought I was gonna take him to see Detective Pikachu. So this weekend, we're hanging at my house re-watching the Avengers before we went to see AEG on Monday. I was ADAMANT he needed to watch The Avengers. (I didn't make him sit through Winter Solider, but I did show him the HIGHLIGHT REEL.) I asked him, "Hey, how come we're not going to see Pokemon?" He replied, "Oh, I'm not into Pokemon anymore. No one is into it anymore at school. Everyone thinks it's lame. I gave all my Pokemon cards to my sister." And to complete his betrayal, he did tell me that Stark and Hulk are his "favorite" Avengers. I'm just like: So, on Monday, we went to see the movie on the IMAX screen. The 4PM was about 80% full. He liked the movie, but was super quiet on the car ride home. (Will post details in the Spoiler Thread.) He also said the screen was too big, which made me He never goes to the movies and I wanted to give him something crazy special. I was like, Man, I hope I didn't eff this up. I texted his Mom and she said he was just "tired, but had a blast." Phew. Edited May 7, 2019 by captainwondyful 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmscholar Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 (edited) Tracking "EG" made me forget how "Awakens" got to damn near 750 by Day 17. But 10.7 is straight. Again the battle comes when the competition comes in. Obviously this weekend is the first test as Pika is the wildcard. Also I just saw those release dates. So the next 9 Christmas's it's gonna be: (2019-2027) Star Wars Non Star Wars/Avatar Avatar Star Wars Avatar Star Wars Avatar Star Wars Avatar Edited May 7, 2019 by filmscholar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A2 was far and away the big event of 2020. There really isn't much to look forward to in that year now, especially during Christmas holidays.
