I never read the book but have to ask, does it even have a following now?


I get it's considered a children's classic but aside from that tv movie fifteen years ago, I haven't heard or seen much to do with it.

I don't know if children are still reading it today, but children don't usually pay for their own movie tickets.

If the parents it grandparents loved the book when they were kids, they are the ones who'll decide to fork out for a family trip to the movies.

True dat.

I'd assume that given it's a children's classic, it's still being read by kids in school.

I read it, and the sequel book. The original was great!

Looked at the trailer, but was left cold. Too splashy and over the top, completely missing the atmosphere of the book.

Unfortunately, this film isn't tracking well at all in terms of box-office which means there is little pent-up demand for this.

I, for one, am very excited for this film though!

probably not a good idea for you to talk "Tracking" queen....You clearly have no clue how tracking works and cant comprehend it...

Example 1...BP based on All tracking from Dozens of sites clearly was heading for a 170 Million OW, EVERYONE COULD SEE IT....except you, ODDLY you predicted a 125 M Weekend...this proves you never understood what you were reading, you didnt understand the Tracking Data

Example 2...You predicted JL to make over 150 M on OW...Despite All tracking and All Sites clearly stating it was "Tracking" at a 110 to 115 OW..ODDLY enough you predicted JL to make an Amount that what IMPOSSIBLE based on the Tracking, this clear proves you dont understand Tracking data

Example 3...You predicted The Last Jedi to make Less than 150 Million On OW....despite All Data clearly stating it was heading for a 200 M+ OW....this clear proves you dont understand Tracking


you talking about Tracking is Laughable....Based on your history you have proven You dont understand or comprehend "Tracking"

I, for one, am very excited for this film though!

Why would you? Do you hear about other children's books?
I forget the book, but remember reading it as a kid and thinking
it was very good.

reply

I feel there are many things that don't bode well with this,the biggest being Oprah's role. She's not exactly relevant with kids today. The release date doesn't scream confidence either.

reply

Do kids read anything these days that aren't hieroglyphics on a texting screen?

reply

LOL
