FTF Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Toy Story 3 underperformed domestically in my opinionUh, no...$415m is not underperforming at all, I don't know how you see it as such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riczhang Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 nope, it actually sold less tickets than Toy Story 2. And barely more than 1. I can't believe it. With 3D Toy Story 3 should have went past 500M Uhm...... Toy Story 3 was in 3D...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopher Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Brave surprisingly looked great in 3D. Pixar and Dreamworks have the best track record for making 3D look good, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Marston Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Uhm...... Toy Story 3 was in 3D...... Exactly the point. Without 3d 415m would be a great total but with 3d it should have gone higher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 (edited) I wonder if Pixar's reasoning for bringing http://projection.pixar.com/ back up was because of the darkness complaints. I can imagine how, if the movie isn't set at precisely the right brightness level, the climax could be a lot less involving than I thought it was.

RichWS Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 It's crazy how Pixar hits $60-70M almost every time out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Safari Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 (edited) I think some of us saw 415M domestic as a disappointment for TS3 because we wanted it to top that green ogre. Shrek 2's performance back in '04 was essentially the stars all lining up. I don't think another animated film could make that amount, though TS3 coming close is nothing short of impressive.Anyways, good for Brave. Is a 4x multiplier possible?

riczhang Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Anyways, good for Brave. Is a 4x multiplier possible?Practically impossible, the WOM while good is no where near Shrek 2, or Toy Story 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TylerDurden365 Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Anyways, good for Brave. Is a 4x multiplier possible?Possible. Have to see what the weekly drops and next weekend end up looking like. I'd say the safe bet right now is multiplier like WallE around 3.5, but it could end up higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people thought Toy Story 3 would be the movie that would top Shrek 2, but even 3D couldn't help Toy Story 3 beat it. Still made a lot of money but I really don't know what pixar can make to make more than Shrek 2. Maybe the Incredibles 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLK Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 There isn't much Pixar can do to top Shrek2 and the reason is simple - risque jokes in an animation setting. Shrek 1 was a good movie that was loved by kids but it exploded on home media because of adults who loved the double entendres of the first movie. Shrek 2 had an appeal that went well beyond the regular animation fans. Most Shrek 2 fans never came back for subsequent Shrek movies and they were never much interested in other animated movies.

Vanilla Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Fantastic for Brave 8)I would say fantastic for Pixar. The actual film Brave is not that good and it did this well. Some what undeserving IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is a 4x multiplier possible?I would say yes, but Pixar is slightly more frontloaded then other family films. But with a major lack of competition coming up and barely any new movies till August, it has a major shot to hang around for quite a while.
