I think if Soul and Turning Red went theatrical in a pandemic less environment, both would’ve outgrossed Lightyear. Both had stronger reviews and it seems more and more likely Lightyear may be softer than expected.

Soul yes, really doubt Turning Red would have done it

Not impossible I suppose but it doesn't matter now since we'll never know.

When does the review embargo lifts by the way?

I don't know why you'd even try to think of a "no pandemic" situation but...

 

I mean Finding Dory still made WAY more money than Zootopia and Moana did at the box office. IP-driven stuff works.

In my hypothetical it’d be like:

Soul - $105m/$325m

TR - $60m/$270m

Lightyear - $75m/$245m

Monday 5PM 

 

I though they was just avoiding JW with this kinda late embargo but maybe they knew reviews won't be glowing.

I can maybe understand Soul keeping the June spot and improving on Inside Out's opening, but why does Turning Red have Zootopia legs in your imagination?

either way I'm still going to guess Lightyear will have an OW of above $90 million, just because.

That guy runs Fandango lol, it's in his best interest to promote new releases.

I think it sounds like a movie that I might dig, and possibly a crowdpleaser as well. Certainly on the lower end of Pixar reviews, most likely. 

[Gavin Feng]

I really love Turning Red. It would be a shame if the theatrical one is a mediocre thing. Then little Bob have more excuses to put more great Pixar movies on Disney+.

IDK I think Turning Red kind of turned out to be a polarizing movie in the general audience, so it would end up with fairly average legs in the end.

After the cinemacon raves, I'm a tad surprised at the responses being as lukewarm as they are.

CinemaCon buzz should always be taken with an enormous grain of salt. Never forget that they screened the entirety of the last Pirates of the Caribbean there to raves claiming it was a return to form for the franchise.

I actually think Luca, if released in the summer as it was going to be I believe, would've done better than Turning Red for certain and potentially Soul as well. I like Turning Red and Soul more but people seemed to like Luca that streamed and it's a very summer movie and extremely kid friendly. Families would've ate that up in theaters. Would've had nice legs. Turning Red would've had it's champions as it as does now but would've been a bit divisive. Soul skews a bit older so not sure kids and families would've went nuts for it for huge box office numbers.
