Oh yeah, right, it did opened with 100M and will close over 300M. You could feel some sense of massive hype building for Pets though (given how long they promoted it). This clearly isn't one of Disney's tentpoles judging by how they've been going about it. Personally I'm seeing a run similar to Freaky Friday '03. $30M/$110M.

Bishop54 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 This snippet makes it sound enjoyable! One of the year's most delightful moviegoing surprises, a quality family film that rewards young people's imaginations and reminds us of a time when the term "Disney movie" meant something. [/url] First BDH tames T-Rex, now she tames a Dragon...let's see some more running in heels while we're at it...Bryce is killing it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Fury Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 5 hours ago, James said: The shot is beautiful. The CGI is horrendous. After getting Smaug and even the dragons in GoT, that looks horrible. I know this must be a kiddie version but it still looks so damn cheap! I'm not seeing it. Looks great to me, though it's hard to tell from a small image like that. I've seen quite a few shots of Elliot and I've yet to see one that looked bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyRex Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 The CGI so far looks good. In that particular shot it looks very good. If you look for "horrendous CGI", there are many other films to look at. There are only a very few shots in the trailers that looked a bit fake, but not distractingly bad, IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I guess this was pretty cheap so they couldn't really afford that much. Smaug was bad and Elliott is good, so it is ok to look more puppet-like [emoji6] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't buy off the critics for EVERY movie. People start to get suspicious that way. Alice 2 was the fall guy to let the rest of the movies live. Or, to put it another way.... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonwo Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 $60m is a good budget, I thought it'd be higher because of the CG dragon but itnmean it doesn't need to do huge numbers to break even 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayhawk the Hutt Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 The budget is only $60m? This should be a nice success for Disney. Been seeing tons of spots during Olympic coverage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
