TServo2049 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) You'll notice that with the new schedule, DWA is staying out of summer 2017. There is no room. Interesting that they will be going FOUR YEARS without a summer film. The only other studio avoiding summer entirely is WDAS.

Would have thought they would put in March or even late February unless they don't want to compete with WB's animated film in that month.

Blankments Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 On the bright side, with it back a year, it seems likely John Powell will now be able to return unlike previously thought 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BK007 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I think the last thing they want to do, even worse than more financial issues, is cut ties with the one guy who brings artistic stuff to their studio Who? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blankments Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I disagree. Toy Story 4, LEGO Batman, and DM3 would have absolutely massacred it in summer 2017. Not to mention GOTG 2 and the kid appeal there. Out of those 5, Dragon would've suffered the worst by far. Holiday was also out with Illumination's Grinch likely being a heavy hitter, a Pixar film, and DWA apparently having both B.O.O. and Croods 2 scheduled. Even if they replaced one of those with Dragon 3, there's still way too much competition for it. DWA is better off offering up B.O.O. and/or Croods 2 on the sacrificial altar than this. This still has more potential than arguably anything else on their slate. I guess they could've shot for a March 2017 release, but maybe they don't think it will be ready in time for that? All of 2017 is just one big animation clusterfuck in all honesty. Of course summer 2018 isn't exactly looking barren for animation either already, but it doesn't have three animation juggernauts to directly compete with like it would in '17. I'm just saying that it shouldn't have been in summer 2017 or 2018. If 2018 was happening, they should've at least moved it back to March 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TServo2049 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 (edited) Oh he's not going anywhere, especially not if he nets DWA (proper, not Aardman) their first Best Animated Feature Oscar ever in 13 years. It could happen. Edited January 24, 2015 by TServo2049 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it was the first winner, too. (Only time Pixar has ever been nominated and LOST.) The category is missing from BOM's 2001 Oscar rundown, I should have remembered.

Jonwo Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Technically, DWA has never won because Shrek was released by DreamWorks SKG. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
