druv10 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Awesome Monday number and Pixar has righted the ship after Cars 2. Brave should finish with 250M+. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem2x3 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 The ship was fine--but fantastic number nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockNrollaDIM Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 (edited) "The fact that Pixar falls behind in 3D shares -- at the domestic B.O. at least -- has some bizzers scratching their heads, since the studio's films play extraordinarily well with teens and adults, even more so than the pics from other animation shops." They answered their own question. Ugh, exactly. Stop scratching your heads and start realizing this 3Dirt phase has got to go!!!

iEye Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 (edited) Yes. I think its short-sided of them to not focus on the 3D because the day will come when we'll be able to see 3D movies without glasses and eventually it'll be the only option. BTW, We'll be going to see Brave tonight. Edited June 26, 2012 by iEye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for 3D, personally I don't mind them not focusing on it just because I'm not a fan anyway; but from a box office standpoint, they probably should throw audiences a bone if they want to maximize its benefits.

AniNate Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Is it just me, or has Pixar's 3D always been quite underwhelming, or even useless? The only ones I've seen in the format are the Toy Story trilogy. Weirdly, it looked like they put more effort into the conversion of the first two than they did in the third's.

Maybe they genuinely hate the format and want to hasten its decline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lab276 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 (edited) The best 3D I've seen for something other than an IMAX documentary was TS3 in IMAX. Not that I see many movies in 3D, so I don't have much to compare it to. Edited June 26, 2012 by lab276 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayhem2x3 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I, for one, refuse to watch 3D. I can't imagine how anyone would prefer wearing those cheap glasses through the entire movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Marvel Fanboy Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 (edited) Well, in China, all Brave's gross comes from 3D. 100% 3D share. Edited June 27, 2012 by firedeep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder, if it would help 3D in America, if they would bring expensive sunglasses to the market to watch 3D without having to pay the extra charge for it. Those glasses would have to be custom-made and optical to correct for eye deficiencies and would adapt to light conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 They're not gonna stop charging on a showing-by-showing basis. They need a way for that extra money to get to the studio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could offer special deals to frequent movie goers. Some sort of a reduction. People who payed in advance would be more likely to watch 3D movies to get their money's worth.

As far as I remember, only KFP2 had been on 2D screens here, since all animations 3D-ed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddevil18 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I, for one, refuse to watch 3D. I can't imagine how anyone would prefer wearing those cheap glasses through the entire movie. For some of us, it's not a choice. Every single large theater within a 200 km radius from here only offers the 3D option for first-run movies. Sure, if I wait 3 months, I can see it in 2D. But if I want to see a movie once it opens here, and I have the misfortune of it being a 3D movie, I have to suffer through it or drive/take a train for almost 400 km (one-way) and watch the movie...

Lots of locates only show 3D overseas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoot Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 9 mil Tuesday. I know people aren't really impressed with that number but I'm pleasantly surprised since WALL-E had a bigger drop on the same Tuesday and it was the week of July 4th...
