ALICE THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS | 5/27/16 | If anyone cares, there is an RT watch in this thread apparently.

This is so declining at the box office. The Amazing Spider-man 2 will look like a hit next to this.

Yikes, finally saw the trailers - what is up with the overtly "fake" look of everything? I understand that it's fantasy and of course fiction but there is something off in the effects that take me out of what I was watching. That being said - it should still do OK Box Office wise as in probably around 180-200m but yeah, not touching the first's gross in the slightest.

I stopped caring for this once I heard they weren't doing the walrus bit.

Wait did they show a spot for this during the SB?

Starting to think this looks like a lot of fun. Maybe it's cause I didn't hate the first one. Sure it could have been better, but it was a solid 6/10.

[ddddeeee]

Oh I am so here for HBC and SBC trying to out-ham one another.

Classic case of waiting too damn long for a sequel (despite the original being genuinely well-liked by audiences) and its star's B.O. clout going down the tubes in the years since.

 

Always expected Disney to vacate that opening weekend but I guess not. Gonna be ugly. Not even sure overseas markets will save em but we'll see.

Dear god.

This is a great showdown http://www.boxofficemojo.com/showdowns/chart/?view=weekend&id=aliceoz.htm

 

I feel Looking Glass will at least go past Cinderella but may not go past Oz.

I dont think it does Cinderella numbers. I do not feel any anticipation for this film, they waited too long for the sequel.

I think it's going to have a Prince Caspian-like drop.

It could have that big a drop. But I think apart from the same issues plaguing Alice, Narnia had a bigger drop because Caspian was a new character introduced in the 2nd film and yet was at the center of the marketing. Here it's clear that the same Alice is at the center. Also all the big names are back. So IMO it will evade the Caspian fate.

200m for Looking Glass would be a 40% drop from Wonderland.

Yeah, it'll drop Prince Caspian-style......but not exactly to those numbers....

 

$200M DOM flat...which is still good. WW-wise, it could do around $700M. China will be the key factor....and that could prevent it from being a total financial failure.

 

The only question is....will this be a better movie than the last one? Cause anytime a movie that people don't like is sometimes the one that people aren't excited about before it's release.

Another prequel/sequel like Huntsman?

That Johnny Depp expression on that poster is legit nightmare fuel.

[Ezen Baklattan]

I feel like I'm not as harsh a poster critic as others on here, but god damn, that is an ugly poster.

[DAJK]

Talk about a crowded-looking poster! 

 

The thing is, it isn't all that crowded, but the very flawed art design on that thing MAKES it look that way!
