Cmasterclay Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 Live action animated movies are really the only option for the 2010s, Frozen, Despicable Me, etc. What were the big franchises created live action - Conjuring, Wick, and Quiet Place? Zero 200m domestic grossers between them. At least the 2020s have given us Barbie and Dune. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vale9001 Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 (edited) Anyways we have seen so many nostalgia Projects failing. As someone already noticed this worked for particular reasons. Jenna Ortega being loved by young girls (see the 68% of female Kids against 32% of male Kids) a target shouldn't be interested to this movie. More than Jenna Ortega It's wednesday on a similar movie- context. Wednesday made Tim Burton fantasy comedies cool and very mainstream again (someone said like stranger things pushed IT and in that case not casually there was an actor of the series in the movie too). Plus finally a big Tim Burton fantasy blockbuster again with Winona and not Johnny Depp Edited September 6 by vale9001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vafrow Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 In light of the accomplishment of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice going to exceed the total gross of the first film in just the opening weekend, does anyone have a list of other cases where this occured? Only examples I can think of is Austin Powers, with International Man of Mystery being beat by The Spy Who Shagged Me. The other, surprisingly enough, is Blade Runner 2049 OW beating the original gross by $100K. Outside of some ones where the original was from before we had reliable box office reporting or where it's hard to truly call it a sequel (The Hustler, Fantasia, Mary Poppins), I can't think of other examples.

Will be weird because not a lot of fresh franchises actually were made in movies in the 2010s They're just gonna keep on making new Star Wars, Jurassic Parks, Toy Stories, Harry Potters, and so on from now until the end of time. Kids do in fact watch these reboots like the adults do, and there are probably teens and young adults that are starting to feel nostalgic for the reboots they saw 10 years ago.

Pitch Perfect 2. Got an extra 4 million more its opening weekend than the first film's original gross. Now that's a movie that really caught on like crazy after its theatrical release. I was 14 years old when the first movie came out, and I was in both the school choir and the school a cappella group, so my demographic and I were kind of ahead of the curve before everybody else. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vale9001 Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 (edited) Also captain america : civil war.

And yeah. I can already see it now. The year is 2065. There's only 1,000 theaters left in America. Half of the country is now underwater, in part because of President Elon Musk's failed policies 20 years earlier. That summer, Jurassic Galaxy: The Squeakquel and Fast and Furious 35, starring deepfake AI versions of Chris Pratt and Vin Diesel respectively, are duking it out at the box office. Whoever wins, we lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cmasterclay Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 Terminator 2 would have done it if it had opened on Friday instead of Wednesday, the opening five day outgrossed the first's entire domestic run. Unlike the other examples like Austin Powers, Beetlejuice, and Pitch Perfect, Terminator 2 totally changed the style. Crazy how it went from a hard sci-fi cult classic to the epitome of a summer blockbuster. Both perfect movies btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
