Would really like this to do well. Animation is a much needed powerful genre. It is somewhat crowded for legs though with Marvels/Trolls/Wonka etc.

 

200 mill budget. I’d really like to see it bring in at least that DOM prior to the Xmas rush. (1.5-1.75X elemental?)

[JustLurking]

Over a month of presales seems long and fairly unnecessary for this, won't make any difference in the long run though

Wait what.... damn. I didn't realize WDAS budgets inflated to the Pixar level.

[YM!]

The one month sales period is far fetched but I wonder with Marvels seeming likely to bite it and with a big Disney event on ABC this coming Sunday, if Disney will put everything into Wish marketing wise.

[cannastop]

Kind of funny how Disney started a tradition of having Alan Tudyk in every WDAS movie, when Pixar absolutely does not do the "Ratzenberger in every movie" thing anymore.

Tickets already being on sale surprises me somewhat. I might be wrong on this, but Wish is getting more days of presales than Frozen 2, Encanto, and Strange World did combined.

nm. Need to get some caffeine boost for sure :-)

Nah. Anecdotally I checked. its no where in F2 levels. That was a blockbuster movie. Its not going to open even half of that. 

I think he meant days of presales. Not actual tickets sold.

[keysersoze123]

Yah. I will have to edit that post. F2 had among the shortest PS cycle. There was Star Wars movie whose presales had started 2 weeks before and so Disney decided to wait for that to settle down before starting F2 sales. It had even a small release and so presales were crazy backloaded. 

[cannastop]

I will say that not all theaters have launched sales for Wish yet...

 

Missing some big AMC and Regal locations.

Maybe he could benefit of this , i hope because the beginning of the presales ( even if it's very early for a animated movie) isn't good

[AniNate]

This is the main reason early presales annoy me. I don't think they hurt the studio's bottom line much, but people still feel the need to track them and jump to conclusions based on them.

This all the way. Why the F would there be expectation that this movie would storm out of the gate presales wise. 6 weeks to release for a original animated movie. That's the problem I have with this forum. And no that does not mean I am knocking the trackers who are just reporting the numbers. It's the reactions to the numbers from too many.

I agree with the general sentiment, but I don't think anyone with any sense has drawn any conclusions from the early pre-sale numbers from this beyond "why Disney?", have they?

 

Nobody expects a Disney animation to do well in pre-sales I think

I mean, you also forget how many people want to see Disney fail big enough to actually take a noticeable tumble.

There's definitely specific favorites that the board does and doesn't give more or less scrutiny to.
