Frozen 2 was a big breakout in Asia. Almost broke Endgame weekend in Korea. Barbie is just so unfunny and looks crap.

That was the point IMO, that it looked so ridiculous that it is funny. But either it will be cringely funny or just cringe. It will be up to each individual.

Frozen 2 was awful, big letdown from the original, you can tell they were just bullshitted the plot.

That's exactly what happened, albeit not entirely the creative teams fault. Lots of fighting between Lee and Buck vs. the Disney execs as well as a looming deadline and several other factors made that production hell.

 

If you haven't, I definitely think people should check out the BTS doc Into the Unknown on Disney+. Not only is it really interesting that Disney even allowed that to go on their service considering how much it shows (it even goes into details about the executive meddling and the disagreements going on behind the scenes) but it's just a great doc in general. I don't even hate Frozen 2 all that much (it's solid) but the doc really gave me some answers to why I had my nagging issues with it and what caused them.

Barbie wasn't going to do big numbers in here anyway. 

Barbie brand is not a thing here and its (US) success was driven by US meme, Twitter, social media. 

 

Also US Comedy films and its humor style seems unpopular here.

I think the problem is that it is super hard to translate English humor into Korean unless you put a lot of work into the subtitles. For instance, the Deadpool series received much praise for its subtitles. If WB hired who they usually hire in Korea to do subtitles, then the subtitles are not going to be great.

Cras 2 is the only good non-toy story Disney sequel.

Barbie is also doing ridiculous nums in Latam, Europe, Anzac— but Asia has never been expected on board with this one 

Didn't know that the local Army Corps are super into Barbie!

 

Can just use ANZ or Oceania, ANZAC is related to war time stuff or the biscuits that relate to that group. 

 

Getting back on topic, Elemental still looking strong and MI7 doing decent but I had hoped for better (although that seems to be the case globally for the film, hopefully legs are decent)

Total Presales for the upcoming days as of Wednesday 00:00

 

Elemental - 56,655 (-6.4% LW)

MI7 - 119,191 (-60.7% LW)

Barbie (T-0) - 61,256

Detective Conan (T-1) - 89,910

Insidious (T-0) - 41,976

Smugglers (T-7) - 62,404

Ransomed (T-14) - 11,892

 

Included Insidious's presales since they are also at a decent size and it's opening tomorrow too. MI7 + Barbie + Insidious + Conan combine for 312k presales, which is higher than MI7's T-0 last week of 304k. Conan will probably add a fair chunk more onto that tomorrow as well so it's going to be tricky for Elemental to keep showings ahead of all this new competition into the weekend. Elemental's PS also couldn't keep up with last weeks pace at the same point so I think a weekend drop is inevitable now.

Total Presales for the upcoming days as of Wednesday 00:00

 

 

Elemental - 68,445 (-13.8% LW)

MI7 - 139,015 (-51.1% LW)

Barbie - 45,267 (-26.1% YD)

Detective Conan (T-0) - 126,340

Insidious - 29,327 (-30.1% YD)

Smugglers (T-6) - 75,110

Ransomed (T-13) - 19,373

 

Elemental continues to lose pace versus last week in presales but the walkups look promising as Wednesday finished considerably higher than last week. We'll see how Conan shakes things up tomorrow.

 

To give some context behind Barbie and Insidious's percentage changes from yesterday, MI7 dropped just 6.2% in presales on its first Thursday so this doesn't bode well for either's IM, nor legs, though we'll have to wait and see.

 

Smugglers is running at 73% of MI7's T-6 checkpoint. It doesn't look like it will suck the air out of the room and drop a 3m opener but we'll have to wait and see if it ramps up in the final week.
