INSIDE OUT 2 WEEKEND THREAD | 155M DOM, 140M OS | Summer is back, Disney saves the day! | 😂😢😡🤢😱😰😒🥱😳

[filmlover]

This summer definitely seems lacking as far as non-IP based stuff with potential broad appeal is concerned. I'm going to see Fly Me to the Moon and hope it does well (depending on the budget of course, being an Apple title it was likely another expensive loss leader), but I get the sense the plot is a little too weird and "poking the bear" (for even running with the concept that the Moon Landing was fake when obnoxious conspiracy theorists and their gullible followers tend to be highly visible in the media these days) despite the appealing combo of ScarJo and Channing. Maybe It Ends With Us can become another Where the Crawdads Sing, though dealing with a heavy topic might also limit its appeal.

Okay, gonna be honest here -- I had no idea Borderlands even existed until I got the trailer for it last night but it looked... passable entertaining?

 

Also didn't know about Wild Robot before that seemed likewise likely to be okayish 

lol what was Borderlands doing playing in front of a kids movie?

Putting Brave that low is criminal. You're both arrested.

They fucked over Chapman’s vision tho.

It's based on a fairly popular book, Chris Sanders (HTTYD/Lilo and Stitch) is directing it, and everyone at Dreamworks seems very high on it. I think it's got a legit awards shot and the only competition it has for nearly two months after release is that lego Pharrell movie, so think it could make bank at the box office.

It does have Transformers One right before. Which could be also a big WoM player. And is based on a legit popular IP.

[Eric is Anxious]

Wild Robot looks like a movie that deserves all the box office…but with the way non-NTCs perform nowadays, I don’t think it will get there. 😕

[AniNate]

A lack of competition after release matters more than a movie that comes before it. That's been made very evident the last few years for kids films.

It seemed like a perfectly kid friendly movie from that trailer cut. Is it, uhh... not?

Inside Out 2 and DM4 will both make 1 billion. But I thought families don’t like going out to theaters anymore? That theaters are too dirty and there are too many  ads?

Quote

When a human or creature is decapitated, an effect resembling a fountain of blood will shoot from the neck for a few seconds and stop. Some weapons cause enemies to split in half, the top being separated from the waist. During the course of the game, characters make jokes about streaking, body parts, rape, and mothers (e.g., "…more busted than my momma's girly parts"). Strong profanity (e.g., "f*cking," "sh*t," "p*ssy," and "d*ckbag") can be heard in the dialogue.

Isn't the movie PG13?

 

If it isn't, they're showing a trailer like that. (PG-13)

They don't like going for full price.  Disney finally gave in, and let the parent go almost free.  1st time ever for Pixar.

It's definitely going for a PG-13. Sometimes movies with that rating cut kid friendly trailers to play in front of PG ones in order to reach parent eyeballs. Avatar: The Way of Water in particular had a recut trailer that took out all the shots with guns that played before family movies.

July looks good, but the month I'm really interested in is September. Three movies that could do blockbuster numbers if all the chips fall right and could potentially light a fire for a 24 rally

 

 

 

My 11 year old is greatly anticipating September. He's super eager for Beetlejuice, is really intrigued by Wild Robot, and one of his friends is a big Transformers fan, so he's pencilled in that one.

 

As bad as the first five months of the year has been, I think 2024 will finish strongly that it should make people less anxious about the state of the industry.

Wait, holy shit, its based on the game franchise

 

Going on the context I had I figured it was just some original movie that shared the name 😂

Elemental was watched today and that is the worst Pixar movie ever. That will be my contribution for this thread.

[AniNate]

I will die on the hill of saying Good Dinosaur was the better Pete Sohn movie and better 2015 movie

Top 3 Pixar of the last 10 years (below the really great ones, Soul and IO1)

Nah...if you're going with recent worst...it's Luca (there, I said it - that movie was SO boring).  And if you want overall worst, it's Cars 2 (although I never made myself watch The Good Dinosaur, so I'm not quite a completionist - that might be worse)...

 

For recent best, it's Soul.  For overall best, it's Toys 3 and 1, although Wall-E has moved up my rankings b/c the 2nd half, which I found so implausible at 1st viewing, is like not that far off reality now, so maybe I misjudged that half (b/c the 1st half is A+)...
