Not sure about these high predictions for Lightyear. Why should it open like a Toy Story film?

 

I'm also still having a hard time seeing this breakout to huge numbers like a TS film, but who knows. Maybe I'll be proven wrong.

Well there gotta be more than LGBT then. Indonesia and Malaysia banning didn't make sense as well. May be they were giving higher age certification and Disney prefered Western PR over that?

IDK Disney has been so DUMB lately. Getting DSitMoM not released in Middle East was stupid.

Probably, there hasn't been a film pulled from release since Beauty in the Beast here in Malaysia(released at the end). I reckon they probably either asked for a edited version or to increase age certification but Disney refused. It's definitely sudden though cause promotion/ads was already everywhere. It's probably age related as it seems to be animated films targeted at children that's usually controversial and banned. DSMoM and FB3 and other films post BATB 2017 didn't really face any issues.

Singapore I got my contacts and spoken to people in the industry who said it will not just be SG and Msia, so thinking which other countries / regions as well.

Oh wow. Is this the first time they've done this type of thing here in SEA? I never thought an IMAX re-release is possible since the slate is always packed and films come and go so quickly.

Past few days people have been making noise at the comment section demanding cinema chain to add showtime for TGM, especially IMAX and 4D-X. So this is working now.

Apparently the same for HK. The movie is coming back to IMAX.

I actually think JWD opening just a hair under its predecessor, despite terrible reviews, is impressive.

 

Looking forward to seeing the Father's Day bumps next weekend.

It should've been more though, even with terrible reviews.

 

Opening under FK is actually more terrible than critical reviews.

Well, the second movie saw a significant OW drop from the first, so the same could have happened here.  This shows interest is still very healthy.  Now we'll see what kind of legs it has.
