Couldn't find Peanuts.

This might give some indication of how huge Peanuts still is.   Charles M. Schulz was 3rd on "dead celebrities" list last year for the 3rd year in a row.  (behind only Michael Jackson and Elvis)  He's been in the top 5 every year I've seen.

Beautiful teaser trailer.

 

Now I wish those horrible Smurfs movies would have been more like this.

They would also be better if they were completely animated as well (CGI or not).

[AniNate]

That franchise is being rebooted in CGI, at least

I'm really appreciating studios taking different approaches with CGI nowadays. LEGO was a breath of fresh air, and this looks really neat as well

Yeah, we seem to be seeing studios starting to actually take advantage of the unlimited art styles CGI is capable of recently. Unfortunately it may even moreso spell the doom for hand-drawn films, but at least they don't all look the same anymore.

I love Peanuts!  I plan to be there opening weekend!

[Kvikk Lunsj]

I changed my name for this movie.

I love the stylization on this. My opinion of this literally made a complete 180 the second I saw the way they were animating it.

 

I also love how the logo has the "by Shulz" credit in there.

FINALLY

[Harpospoke]

I changed my name for this movie. 

I'm getting a Snoopy tattoo.  (admittedly I had planned to do this before the movie)

Domestic?

Domestic?

OW/DOM, yes

[Empire]

62M/239M

I don't think it will do those big of a numbers. I see it doing 186M DOM right now.

Peanuts are iconic and they're doing something great with the animation style. The only wild card is the script, but with those related to Shultz involved, I think it should still do great

I think 186M would be great for Peanuts.

For a Blue Sky film? It sure would. Only Ice Age 2-3 have grossed that much domestically. Heck, even adjusted for inflation, no Blue Sky movie outside of Ice Age 1-3 has made that much.As an aside: I hope this bucks the trend of past Blue Sky movies and actually gets a large-scale theatrical release in Japan. I know they're not very receptive to non-Disney/Pixar American animation...but I also know that they love Snoopy. Edited August 31, 2014 by TServo2049

What the heck, you guys are over predicting this. It will be lucky to gross 100M with all the competition it has.
