Coco | Pixar / Lee Unkrich | Now playing | #1 all-time in Mexico

[AniNate]

Yeah, of course they're going to sweet talk their own movie.

 

I really want this to be great but I'm not buckling my seatbelt on the bandwagon until Variety/THR have their say.

Gorgeous. 

 

There could just be stills from this movie stretched over two hours and it would be better than anything is mainstream animation all year.

I think a lot of people will have egg on their face for ever doubting Pixar delivering another success 

Yup, the amount of people who seemingly wanted / expected Coco to flop, are hopefully gonna look silly. I'm expecting it to win the best animated Oscar now too, though given the "slim" competition this year, that shouldn't be hard.

Why would anyone want a movie to flop? It means animators lose jobs. I had low expectations and kind of still do due to Disney's past with Thanksgiving animated movies and marketing especially in the competitive landscape Coco is. I'm rooting for it but my expectations aren't high.

People have too overly high expectations of Pixar films these days, it seems. Also people eagerly anticipate failure, which I don't agree with. Movies give people jobs, that's a good thing.

Incredibles 2 and Toy Story 4 should be in the $350M-$500M/$900M-$1.05B range and I can see good numbers for the originals in 2020.

 

Coco however other than good reviews needs better marketing. It's happened in the past with TGD and Moana to a lesser extent both kind of got overshadowed by other big Disney tentpole in terms of marketing. I think it'll do find though but I'm thinking more Ratatouille or BH6 than Moana.

Over 200m would be very good at least. I'm not expecting Inside Out numbers, I just think it needs to do solid business. Disney's marketing for it has been a bit quiet, but hopefully they know what their doing, and it pays off.

Well, the DWTS version was...not bad, only repeated the chorus twice, but of course they embellish with these long instrumental bits in the middle.

Do we know when lift review embargo?(though we already know its a masterpiece...)I heard Disney China will allow critics to release their reviws after Nov.2

[AniNate]

Mexico premiere is this weekend. If it's the Latino version though, I don't know if any Anglosphere critics will be there to review it.

See this movie in spanish will be delightful. Disney is one of the few studios who put great effort when dubbed versions of its movies come to talk, but this time they increased their bet and have a dream team cast and great collaborators on the musical aspect (plus, some typical mexican songs)

Is this screening as part of a festival this weekend? If so, we'll get reviews right after it premieres.

Then the trades will be seeing it early and have reviews up soon, at least.
