I mean, I can keep ideas coming from the toy/tv girl world...

 

Beanie Babies has possibilities...

Littlest Pet Shop has possibilities...

Pound Puppies has possibilities...

Webkinz has possibilities...

Furby has possibilities...

The audience at the barbie screening I went to looked essentially like a jurassic world audience, just this afternoon.

Which female-driven IP should studios go after next? 

Mattel owns Polly Pocket.

 

Also for the boys: Mattel owns Hot Wheels.

Feels like Fast and Furious filled the space for a Hot Wheels movie.

Welcome to BOT. Hope you survive the experience. For your better enjoyment, please always listen to the voices saying to not overhype or underhype things. A lot of us have been saying it would land exactly somewhere around that is landing. Hyperbole is a thing here but only if you listen the most loud voices. A lot of us have been saying it’d land exactly where it’s landing: it’s still the biggest opening of the year for what it will likely biggest film of the year in the domestic market, at very least.

I'm here for more than 10 years, just for info. Go to the buzz thread and you will see what was meant.

My Little Pony

We already had one (animated). And so I was forced to learn about Bronies

Based on Charlie's post, actuals are likely going to push it close to 160M which is great opening though......thing is it's ATP is lower than typical tentpole due to Oppy having all IMAX and lot of PLFs. Oppy's ATP is going to be like 15% higher than Barbie's ATP

Hopefully you're right :). I know it's a great number. It's just, after all the work...and that for nothing...

Wtf? For nothing? Whether it's 150, 155 or 160, it's an insane number.

Jesus Christ, this place sometimes man, I swear...

if we're talking LVP of Oppenheimer  is like a 40 year old man at this point but still somehow feels like a high school drama student playing a general.

I thought he was good in the role. It fit him. Hollywood's mistake was trying to make him a leading man instead of getting him to play slimey,unlikeable or creepy people.

If it wasn't for capacity issues, this could have been the second biggest weekend at the BO ever

The equivalent of "you have a face for radio and personality for cave drawings". Poor guy.

There is little subtlety, but it's intentional. And even though it's obvious, it's still full of creativity. Whether or not you like what it has to say DOES depend on which side you fall. If you're a normal adult you'll understand why it's saying what it's saying and enjoy the creative and amusing way it's being done. If you're a snowflake, well...

Okay it sounds like it's a fun movie with some subtle messaging (oops, didnt read that right). I just find the "backlash" from far right commentary of the film interesting and amusing considering how well received it appears to be. Thanks for a reply I was looking for.

 

Edit: misread comment

I need a long break too.

Meine Güte 😖. The tracking was meant of course.

No, no. There is nothing subtle about it, as I said. But it's not supposed to be subtle. If you completely disagree with the message that is quite literally being shouted at you, then chances are you won't like it.
