kayumanggi Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Because of the current state of the marketplace? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
druv10 Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Honestly that's exactly why some of us Pixar loonies just abhorred the idea of Cars 2, especially when it was looking like it was going to be a big glob of fail. I honestly believe that from the beginning, movie-goers gave Pixar movies a chance exactly because it was from Pixar. I don't think WALL-E or Ratatouille or Finding Nemo would have made as much as they did if they weren't Pixar movies... I hate to sound like a broken record, but this is exactly why you don't beat the golden goose like that. That reputation that gets people to say things like the part I've bolded above is worth more than $1 billion in toy car sales... And another failure from them so close to Cars 2 (and if it's a sequel), it might be hard to recover that audience goodwill that they've built up for the past 20 years given the market now. I really hope Monster's University is the last se(pre)quel we see from them for a while. No, I want to see Incredibles 2 than we can be done with sequels.

whoot Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 ^ Oh for sure, Incredibles 2 is a standing exception for me. But Bird looks like he's going to be trusted with a lot of live action now, so I'm not even thinking about that any time soon.... And I am not supportive if Pixar chooses anybody else but Bird to helm Incredibles 2, so that's that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
druv10 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Incredibles 2 probably is looking close to 400M domestically alone. Disney likes money so I see no reason why Brad Bird wouldn't make this in near future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 He'll have 1906 and MI5 then I would imagine he would do I2. After that he can do all live-action. He also has Ray Gunn. A lot of movies are looking for directors, others he could direct are: Halo, SH movie (Justice League or Guardians of the Galaxy), might be better for S.H.I.E.L.D.

druv10 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 (edited) Would Disney allow him to do Justice League? Edited December 29, 2011 by druv10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 He has Ray Gunn (animated) which is at WB. Also he did MI4 at PAR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAR Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Considering the poor marketing WB gave the Iron Giant I'm surprised he'd do another animated film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAR Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I really don't see this flying to higher than 200M. 220M for now Did we really expect much from a movie about a robot who doesn't speak? Or a Rat in a kitchen? What about an elderly gentleman who attaches balloons to his house and fly's to South America? I think Pixar works best when they go for the unconventional.

AniNate Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I'd say Warner would be willing to take another chance on him. Iron Giant is now a cult hit and he has a couple $200 million grossers behind him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
druv10 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 He has Ray Gunn (animated) which is at WB. Also he did MI4 at PAR. I figured Disney would try to tie him up with his success with MI4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattrek Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Do you guys think Brave can get us back to the 200m animated film? I hope it hits 250m, looks awesome and I'm really looking forward to seeing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ball Lightning Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 If anything next year, this one will. I'm not particularly excited (apart from the fact that it is a pixar film), but I know lots of people who are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 If it's the same quality of most Pixar films, I don't see it being too difficult. Could still open lower than usual, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattrek Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Well even films that looked like sure fire winners have failed to hit 200m, so I'm worries slightly. It's Pixar though, so quality will be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Alfred Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 It will hit 200m, but won't go as high as Up. I expect it land around Rat and WALL-E. Cars 2's really underrated. Pixar delivered again in 2011. It did very well given the current market state. Look around, no other film came anywhere close to Cars 2, some tanked pretty big time.

Mayhem2x3 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Did we really expect much from a movie about a robot who doesn't speak? Or a Rat in a kitchen? What about an elderly gentleman who attaches balloons to his house and fly's to South America? I think Pixar works best when they go for the unconventional. As "unconventional" as Pixar looks on one hand, a lot of their stuff is pretty simple too, usually a twist on something familiar. What if a rat wanted to cook? What if monsters were scared of children? What if super-heroes had to live normal lives. What if a robot fell in love? etc. I don't this trailer did the story they're working on any justice. Time will tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BK007 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 The mother looks as bland and boring as ever. Damn it. Also, Neo, Bird doesn't have MI5, does he? Why would he direct another one and be tied down? Unless it's stated, I don't think he should or will. But I'd rather have another Incredibles as an R-rated animated pic, so it can be years in the future, where the kids are now young adults. Of course that would completely ruin the first Incredibles if you had sex, drugs, violence and all the other realities of life in it...ahhh.
