DAJK Posted Sunday at 05:20 PM Share Posted Sunday at 05:20 PM So Transformers One is basically LEGO Ninjago adjusted for inflation. Cool. Now let’s see Wild Robot be another Home for Dreamworks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justnumbers Posted Sunday at 05:27 PM Share Posted Sunday at 05:27 PM I feel like one of the biggest mistakes for this franchise recently was not doing a Bumblebee sequel with everyone returning, in front and behind the camera. That movie was so well received, was very well budgeted, successful and had everything for a big sequel bump. But...Hasbro or Paramount missed the early Bay numbers. Made a generic ass Rise of the Beasts that cost more, worse and made less than Bumblebee but they want a sequel for it? A crossover with Nobody Joe? Bruh. Detransform out of my face. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're in a position where there are now two Chris Sanders Dreamworks movies opening at the end of a month, and releasing just a couple weeks after a record-breaking Tim Burton movie. Wouldn't it be funny if it went like Mr. Lucas once said? Where it's like poetry? It rhymes? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted Sunday at 05:46 PM Share Posted Sunday at 05:46 PM Either box office comparison would be acceptable. I just would like sales to be picking up more around me personally. And for once I'd like a personal animation stan that actually delivers on my bullish expectations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAJK Posted Sunday at 05:59 PM Share Posted Sunday at 05:59 PM Using The Numbers’ inflation calculator, HTTYD had the equivalent of a 60/300 run in today’s dollars. That’s genuinely insane. Obviously The Wild Robot isn’t about to do that. But dammit if it did… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AniNate Posted Sunday at 06:06 PM Share Posted Sunday at 06:06 PM To think the Dragon opening was considered somewhat disappointing at the time. How times have changed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted Sunday at 06:20 PM Share Posted Sunday at 06:20 PM Transformers One Bows To $39M Global Box Office (deadline.com) Paramount/Hasbro Entertainment’s Transformers One is out of the gate with a $39M global start. From just 50 international box office markets (representing only 40% of the overseas footprint), the first animated Transformers movie in close to 40 years grossed $14M. The Josh Cooley-directed origins story came in below projections domestically and international is off to a softer start than hoped. While there are still major markets to come including Brazil, Italy, Korea, China, Germany, UK and France, it’s still a bit of a head-scratcher that the offshore opening wasn’t bigger given reviews, word of mouth and how much perceived anticipation there has been for the movie. A work-in-progress screening at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival had the room on its feet in June. However, we are hearing about general softness in the marketplace — and the back-to-school period can be a tricky one. The hope here is that folks will discover the $75M production as we roll along. Overall, on a like-for-like basis including previews, the international result is 3% below The LEGO Batman Movie and 16% below Spider-Man: Into The Spider-verse for the same markets in release. Also new this session, Universal began staggered international release on DreamWorks Animation’s The Wild Robot, with eight markets grossing $6.9M, including $4M from China. Excluding China, the performance is in line with Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, and above Migration, Elemental and The Bad Guys. China was the top opener with $4M and a 9.6 on both Maoyan and TPP, the best scores ever for the studio on any of its titles in the market. In Australia, Wild Robot took advantage of staggered school holidays for a $2M start including $800K from previews and at No.1 in the market. Reviews and audience reactions have been outstanding. Malaysia opened to $400K including previews, in line with Puss 2 and above Trolls and Migration. Norway opened a week before the rolling fall school break with $200K at No.1. This is above Bad Guys and well above Puss 2 and Migration excluding previews. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasNicole Posted Sunday at 06:49 PM Share Posted Sunday at 06:49 PM Glad The Substance ended up over 3M. Imo It’s a great opening and one nobody was even expecting a week ago to be disappointed. Now curious about the legs, WOM is great. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnthonyJPHer Posted Sunday at 07:08 PM Share Posted Sunday at 07:08 PM I’m wondering how The Wild Robot will do. I’m going to be honest, I think it only opens 10m higher than Transformers One. 35m DOM opening. And I think it’s going to do The Bad Guys numbers worldwide. 250m WW. Original animation other than Elemental has been stuck in the 250-300m range for a while. Wish, the Garfield Movie, Encanto, The Bad Guys, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are until they aren't. Honestly if there's any hope to get out of it, it surely ought to come from the most critically acclaimed mainstream theatrical release since Inside Out 1 with a month and half free of new competition.

CheeseWizard Posted Sunday at 07:33 PM Share Posted Sunday at 07:33 PM Honestly speaking of China, I’m weirdly interested in TFOne. According to Maoyan, it’s the 6th most anticipated movie right now, 4th if you neglect Unseen Sister and Venom, which both come out in late October. I mean hell, its box office in China is already 3.2 million dollars, and it’s only been in pre-screenings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Garfield is an IP film as well. Original is Wish, Encanto, Migration, Elemental, etc. If you just mean “non-sequel animated film” then yeah, Elemental is the only to break 300M WW in years. But even though The Wild Robot isn’t original or a sequel I think it can break 300M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HummingLemon496 Posted Sunday at 07:44 PM Share Posted Sunday at 07:44 PM (edited) That means @Bob Train was completely correct when he said 1 and 1/2 months ago that neither DP3 or IO2 would pass JW ($653,406,625) domestically Edit, here it is: Edited Sunday at 07:45 PM by HummingLemon496 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
