DAJK Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 The fact that Matrix is going to gross pretty much exactly the same as 47 Robin eight christmases back is kind of hilarious and sad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Matrix is by far one of the most affected box office performances by the release strategy. In a normal weekend mid Summer with no pandemic or day & date on streaming it would have opened with 60M or more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Matrix was a combination of bad ideas with the hybrid release and closely following the first major event movie in years. Not to mention not getting to take full advantage of IMAX and premium formats. If they pushed it to literally any weekend from February through May I could see it opening to $70m or so assuming it was theatrical only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That movie was poised for a monster run but they decided to release it right after Endgame 2 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legion Again Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 If Endgame had been delayed to July last minute Pika might make like 10% more. It didn’t come out on day 5 like Matrix, it was day 14 when Endgame was just normal sized competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see Dreamworks trying to fast track it. Universal and DreamWorks would get more mileage and money out of making a live action remake. There's more parody material in spoofing the Disney live action remakes rather than just another Shrek sequel.

Pika Pika would have obliterard the record books if it wasnt for Endgame stealing all the theater seats. It was outrageous, it was unfair. I mean, how can you be part of the box office, but not be granted the rank of a 300M Opener? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadOlCatSylvester Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 To this day I'm still disappointed Detective Pikachu didn't really end up going anywhere. I'd much rather have Legendary doing Nintendo movies based on weird high-concept ideas than the Minion Factory and their soulless machines. Shame. Hopefully Illumination stays away from Kirby at least. The thought of James Corden as Dedede is nauseating to say the least. That being said, I don't think Endgame is the sole reason as to why Pikachu underperformed. The first trailer was likely seen as a fun proof of concept/parody trailer by the general public and there ultimately wasn't much interest in a full movie about that. I hear Netflix is taking a crack at live-action Pokemon next. Hopefully it works out this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 To go back to my point about Shrek, it does surprise me that Universal hasn't considered a live action Shrek considering the amount money that Disney has made from remaking their animated canon into live action films especially the big titles.

I'm not sure if Mark Ruffalo can do a Scottish accent... In terms of other live action remakes, I wouldn't object to WB doing The Iron Giant as a live action film and actually it would resonate now compared to 20 years ago.
