Nobody wanted to see Cats and everyone knew it would be bad though. It already had a very niche, limited audience since it was a notoriously weird stage show. And the movie cast was awful (James Corden) which was first indication it was a flop. Once that trailer hit, it was over. 

Uhh yeah before the trailer hit people were like "hmm I wonder how they could make a movie out of this".

Yes, I get the vibe it’ll be a very fun film and a fun crowd experience as well.

[Ethan Hunt]

I think Barbie is gonna make 300M+

The question wasn't of hype and interest, it was an actual question of "How the hell are they going to do make a Cats movie". Because it was seemingly impossible and still is because of the baggage and inconsistent history of stage adaptations. And then the trailer showed that CGI and answered the question with "Not good"

Disney has three more big movies left all are 200m+ ow candidates especially avatar 2 which will easily make 2b ww and 900 domestic.

Avatar isn´t really Disney win. It´s a full Cameron picture, the original was from Fox and the sequel will also be released as a 20th Century production. 

 

Of course they owned in the end, but the success of this movie will come from differect factors other than Disney management imo. 

 

When it comes to Disney, i really think they´re in a bad position right now, mainly because of bad choices. It can be solved of course but Pixar brand seems to be way more attached to D+ than it can be, Disney animation can easily enter the same territory if they´re not careful. Even with Marvel i don´t think demanding all this TV projects is such a good idea, they´re also failing with marketing, Feige was pissed with the DS2 rollout that i think it help to create even more absurd expectations leading to disappointment, Thor 4 also have an abysmal close to release campaign. I was really surprised Chapek have his contract renewed.

I think only BP is closest to 200m OW but it's certainly not a guarantee.

i've seen at least 3 videos with over 3 million likes about the minions trend, crazy stuff

There isn't really hype for any movie before images from it are shown, imo.

barbie is the new sigma movie

Okay, I now this doesn't directly relate to Box Office but could impact WOM if true.

This isn't actually a shot from the Minions film right?

I don't really think that's true. Most of the time an announcement and casting is enough to at least spark some idea and discussion. If Marvel announced on Monday that Leonardo DiCaprio was Dr. Doom, the internet would break from hype

Definitely, Warner needs to be really careful, put this movie on freeze for the rest of the year once the shooting end is the wise option, this way i think it will be still super fresh for OW.

This is Warner we are talking about... I think there is a decent chance they will fuck up with this and kill the hype.

Nope.  Sorry my man Charlie, you are dead wrong on this one.  

 

I'll bet anyone here that Barbie (pending decent reviews) is a massive hit.  It isn't an ironic joke trying to take itself ultra serious like the shit CATS was.  They aren't in the same universe.

Come on dude.  

[AnDr3s]

the better trend

 

[cannastop]

Shit I remember when this was the only Barbie movie anyone needed:

[EmpireCity]

I'm just telling everyone and anyone that will listen, Barbie is going to be a massive hit.  This isn't Cats or Dora or whatever comparison you want to make.  

 

They have Lego movie'd this thing.  They didn't hire 2 what seems to be off the wall director/writer to go in some way off direction.

 

WB got a full treatment and script before they were signed.  They know exactly what the movie is going to be.  I know people that have read the script and say it is flat out brilliant.  

 

This will not fail.

I'm sorry haha. I saw some people on Twitter who were saying it was real (not seeming to act sarcastically).

I'm expecting respectable Scooby Doo numbers, not total breakout unless reviews are great
