Grinch does have more name recognition for sure, and if Pony moves this can move to November 3rd as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grim22 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Just now, WrathOfHan said: I doubt they'd go against Thor. There is almost always an animated movie against a live action movie the first weekend in November. And box office wise, going against Thor is probably the easiest of any Marvel property. Grinch has a lot of name recognition and will play strongly through Christmas anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sal Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Yeah. Animated movies go against Live Action quite a bit, it's not as bad as two of them going head to head against each other. I'm not sure how well MLP will do, since a lot of the time having an ongoing tv show associated with an animated movie seems to cause a drop in urgency to go see the movie... OTOH, that's almost always been related to an animated series sandwiched in-between two movies and MLP has not had a theatrical release film. (And it also didn't particularly affect Transformers, but the movies and animated shows were different beasts altogether) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cannastop Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 It can't be more obnoxious and unnecessary than the Jim Carrey version, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Don't count anything out from the makers of Hop Though at the very least this story lends itself far better to the animation style than that bizarre Brian Levant kind of tone Howard was going for 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Duncan Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 So the Grinch will be voiced by...Benedict Cumberbatch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sal Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 ...well, one more reason I'm not going to waste my money on this movie. I really don't see the appeal of that man. At all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Given Dr Seuss has never done that well OS and it's opening two weeks before Coco plus it's a Christmas film which means its legs will be cut short by 25th December, it'll be lucky if it matches The Lorax's WW total.

WrathOfHan Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I think there's a very strong chance a different movie is #1 every weekend of November: 3: Thor 10: Grinch 17: Justice League 24: Coco 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldenstate5 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 The Jim Carrey version was so reprehensible that I actually think Illumination has the upper-hand here. It may be bad, but Cumberbatch is a surprisingly good choice. It's not a hammy comedian, so already a plus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
