Though then again...neither were the original AIW & Sleeping Beauty at their time, yet they got big live action remakes. I could see a Non-Disney live action remake like The Swan Princess (Sony) work great if it’s well-received, beloved by audiences and treated with care & passion.

These movies clearly have more of a pulse on what moviegoing audiences want than most other films do, otherwise they wouldn't do nearly this well. Nah, just soulless copies of the highly influential disney movies in the animation movie history. They are derivative, without original ideas, a recognazible style, writing. They are a bland copy of the originals aesthetics with no impact in the industry or to others filmmakers. I mean even bad blockbuster movies like transformers have been influential or roland emmerich films. These remakes are just a one shot experience for most of the people. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JB33 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Still loving that TLK number! I'm guessing today will be about a 30% drop for a number that's basically flat from Monday (around $21M). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm trying to figure out what the problem is with this? Does every film need to be impactful or influential? Can they not just be a good time at the movies? I have yet to even see TLK but these "soulless" takes are beyond trite now and one of the reasons I'm glad it's pulling big numbers. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB33 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Looking ahead to the weekend, I'm going with an early, early projection of 27-35-28 for $90M, right there with Beauty and the Beast's 2nd weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minnale101 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 August seems so dull. Hobbs and Shaw got no buzz. Maybe Dora can break out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobbs & Shaw may not have the buzz but I'm sure it'll do pretty well (especially overseas) and we'll get one or a couple surprise breakouts, The Kitchen being the obvious candidate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 I just looked over all of August and holy shit is it ever dead. There's not one film outside of Hobbs and Shaw that will probably clear 50 million. I guess Dora might but still it looks barren. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're probably seeing Angry Birds 2 during a vacation week late in the month...and if Dora goes cheap enough, my youngest has decided it would amuse him, so I'll spring for tickets with an Atom or TMobile deal:).

But, that all being said, if I had a movie subscription, I'd be so excited by August b/c I'd have options...instead of 6 wide releases for the entire month of July, I'd have 6 in LESS than a week (Aug 9-14) and tons more after...I'd totally make use of 3 movies a week to end the summer b/c most of it is new and original material and most of it is probably just as good as the Disney live action served this summer (having seen Aladdin and knowing that's actually the consensus better option than TLK:)...aka, it won't wow, but it will be serviceable enough:)...and if I wasn't paying... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 The Kitchen looks like it should have gone right to streaming. 47 MD will probably do ok and London Has Fallen will more than likely do okay WW but domestically I think it will fall even further than the last one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point about choices. I've gone on record many times here criticizing the lack of releases in July, even though the size of a few them was big. After seeing Once Upon a Time in Hollywood tomorrow it will be the first time I've seen all wide releases featured in a month. Not hard though when there were only six of them, like you said. August always seems to be this way: almost nothing really big or must-see, but several options for when it's the dog days of summer, you're bored and decide spur of the moment you want to see something. I saw several under those exact circumstances last year (saw all of Christopher Robin, The Meg, Slenderman, BlackKklansman, Crazy Rich Asians, Mile 22, Alpha and Searching. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
