druv10 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 RT has changed their consensus on Brave. I like this one much better. Brave offers young audiences and fairy tale fans a rousing, funny fantasy adventure with a distaff twist and surprising depth. http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/brave_2012/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

druv10 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 what was the consesus before? Something about, how it wasn't as good as some of the previous Pixar movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieMan89 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I had honestly never come across the word "distaff" in my life before that RT consensus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kvikk Lunsj Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I had honestly never come across the word "distaff" in my life before that RT consensus. Their are a couple of movies where I wonder where RT staff finds some of its words for RT consensus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishstick Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 She does this stuff in every thread. Sometimes she can be very funny and other times just makes you stare blankly at the screen in disbelief. There`s nothing disbelief-able about what I pointed out. Chicks are flocking to Magic Mike despite the deafening media and female blogger hype that we need more female-driven action movies or whatever. yet the target audience is flocking to a male eye-candy flick instead. I`m just pointing out that demand for certain type of a female character isn`t as big as media drums want you to belive because, obviously, what drives female audience the most is a hot male star. Yes, THG broke out in a big way in books and movies but the next mega thing in literature is and movies will be 50 Shades of Gray about a virgin playing a submissive plaything to a rich billionaire. A blantant 91/2 weeks rip-off officially inspired by Twilight. Go figure. I`m laughing because militant feminists are so bloody annoying.

Gideon Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Monsters Inc, The Incredibles, and Ratatouille lost out to Shrek How strong is the ogre...! Different times, now! But in this case, Pixar finished 2nd, not 3rd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gideon Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 If you count Chipmunks as "animated," it happened in 2007. hmm Semi-live/semi-animated. Don't want to count it! lol Smurfs or Rocky&Bullwinkle, for example, are not animatedmovies to my eyes. SO, Pixar still has to finish 3rd in one year. This year?

SO, Pixar still has to finish 3rd in one year. This year? This year? To which movies? I don't see that at all this year. It's going to finish ahead of Madgascar 3. Ice Age faces the possibility of animation fatigue by the time it comes. I don't see Ice Age getting near the 230-260m range Brave is headed for. Rise of the Guardians and Wreck It Ralph would be the only other films that can finish ahead of it, but it's unlikely both will, if any.

whoot Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 WTF happened yesterday? Terrible number. What's this weekend looking like? I was hoping for a sub-40% drop but not so sure about that anymore. This is all Cars 2's fault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem2x3 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 WTF happened yesterday? Terrible number. What's this weekend looking like? I was hoping for a sub-40% drop but not so sure about that anymore. This is all Cars 2's fault. Next week Spiderman opens mid-week (and spiderman is a very family-friendly flick). Instead of 2 full weeks to its own, Brave only has about a week and a half. It needs a very strong second weekend to hit the heights of what some of you were/are predicting.

Letsuseournoggin Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 The good thing for brave though is that it primarily targets girls and if ASM takes its audience, it'll be boys. So the hit won't be as bad IMO. Madagascar might be hit a little harder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although true that maybe Mad will absorb more of the blow because its older anyhow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as this is received better than Cars 2, this should at least make $206m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
