kayumanggi Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 David Lowery's lovable 'Pete's Dragon' is one of the summer's best films.

Too bad it's likely gonna flop I could see this literally being How to Train Your Dragon IRL, and that applies to the reception and box office run.

Honestly, the more we get closer, the more I think 200M is within reach. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayhawk the Hutt Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Eh, I'm just not as confident as you guys. I hope it does at least decent, the reviews will help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 4 hours ago, TalismanRing said: Beautiful shot 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!

filmlover Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 The budget for this probably doesn't even cover the cost of catering on those Hobbit movies. 3 minutes ago, CJohn said: Doing 150M DOM is flopping to you? Honestly, the more we get closer, the more I think 200M is within reach. This would need to open to $40M to have a shot at $150M, let alone $200M. That's not happening.

Lol, I know, but it's just distracting honestly. Felt the same while watching the trailer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early reception has been strong, marketing is solid and Pets+Dory juggernaut will be fairly exhausted by that point. Families will be ready for one last summer film for the kids.

It is great that this is gonna do close to 50M OW and have some fantastic legs in August and September then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 This doesn't strike me as a big-grosser despite good reviews. Though it should be a much easier sell than The BFG was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arlborn Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I don't see this doing less than, say, Tarzan for example. I really don't. It looks like a great family movie. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Would be something else if this made more than Jason Bourne did (and actually might if everything goes well at this point). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, tell me more about my curse affecting Pets? Oh yeah, right, it did opened with 100M and will close over 300M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
