I think Coco did way better over seas then domestic

 

inside out did 350 million domestic vs 210 for Coco so I think a Coco sequel will likely be an overseas monster more.

Main problem for Coco is, it was a China breakout (190M vs just 15M for IO). That makes an overseas increase tricky since China alone would cost a sequel 100M+ most likely.

 

EDIT: didn't see someone already said this, welp

My local theatre had its app and website crashing yesterday and today. Only time it happened before was during No Way Home first 72 hours of presales.

 

Also don't know if it's related or not, but my mobile company has a website that offers discounts for lots of cinemas across the country, and it also has been crushing today.

On a more depressing note, looks like Robot Dreams died at the specialty box office this weekend. I got to see it in March at least but seriously fuck Neon for burying that movie.

Neon releases a lot of great movies but they suck at promoting/getting them to be successful.

What a nice weekend though. Really feels like it’s been a minute since everyone was united in celebration for the box office . It’s a good feeling.

Such a mind boggling strategy. They pick it up out of Cannes, submit it for best animated, it gets nominated and they absolutely refuse to take advantage of it. What was the point of buying it if they didn't intend to actually make money off it.

I wonder if it just me but do Pixar movies underperform in canada?

 

 

Like looking at local theaters they are busy but not mega opener busy

[Cmasterclay]

Bad Boys gonna outgross Indiana Jones or Transformers pretty decently in the year to year comp AND Inside Out probably 150m above Spiderverse, not bad business. If AQP can equal Transformers total it would give a significant boost too.

their release strategies in general are just odd. They are like “here it is” and in barely any theaters. Hopefully their Longlegs strategy works out cause they actually seem to be putting effort into that.

Really makes me sad that all the speculation now is which movie will get a sequel from Pixar.

All the attention is on sequels but here's an indication of the next original after Elio

 

 

 

 

[Eric is Quiet]

Neon's been dying to be A24 since its very inception (they even threw shade at them for selling candles and overpriced merch, even though y'all are owned by the Alamo Drafthouse guy), but they've been moving way too fast and don't have the clout, the resources nor the understanding on how to actually do what A24 has done successfully. I think Parasite and maybe Immaculate have been their only real breakouts outside of the specialty market.

I know people are saying Elio is gonna be good, but the director switch is worrying. I do love Brave though so maybe this is that.

All Docter said was Domee Shi was "working on" it. No indication whatsoever that Molina was booted.

 

Rich Moore was brought on late to Zootopia and that ended up working out and Byron Howard still retained his creative authority on it.

We don't know if Molina was taken off the project or if Domee Shi was just an additional director. I think it will have two director credits (though Brave had that too)

They wish people would by overpriced candles from them.

Immeasurably better than last years diatribes that Pixar had to slash their budgets to compete.

Agreed, which is ironic considering NEON ability to curate great movies is better than A24 for some time now

It is worrying, but only to a degree because that’s not totally unusual in animation. For what we know, they didn’t replace the director, only put another one to work with him.
 

It happened exactly the same with Zootopia for example and turned out great.
 

Another different but sometimes even worse recent stories from Pixar: Toy Story 4 was also supposed to be directed by John Lasseter for many years of it’s production until he suddenly quit and was later totally removed from it and a good portion of the movie was substantially changed, to a point they delayed the movie in full 2 years iirc. Because of this they had to push back Incredibles 2, which made Brad Bird loses a full year of production so that movie also suffer from substantial changes due lack of time. Brad Bird publically complained that he had to drop many plotlines and ideas supposed to be in the second movie because of this, and that he would like to develop them in a possible sequel, which is why i think Incredibles 3 is coming at some point.
 

Inside Out was a very troubled production as well. It didn’t needed another director but the story is that they spend way more time in it than most Pixar movies and it was so hard to crack the code to made it right that Pete Docter was ready to give up and just give the movie to other director very late on the production, which never happened ultimately. 
 

I think The Good Dinosaur was one of the few examples where the end product was clearly a Frankenstein of a production, since they basically remade the whole thing very quickly with inputs from plenty of other directors. Brave is also there as one of the few that didn’t totally worked out, but this one is still somewhat good at least. Hopefully Elio will join the other many examples of great animated movie with chaotic productions.

IF they make another Inside Out they have 2 options. One about Riley as an Adult or about another kid(how about a boy this time around). It could be about Riley's Son for example in the future. But there is no hurry in making another one. Pixar have tons of  options for sequels anyway. 

 

no the sequels will likely still focus on Riley so they can have the same emotion characters
