Getting absolutely crushed by Universal/Illumination's Sing 2


There was a hope that Encanto could get a second chance during the Christmas break after a disasterous Thanksgiving launch.

Universal/Illumination's dumb low-brow content, once again, proves to be what general audiences crave.

General audiences crave singing animals?

reply

Judging by Sing 2's smashing box office they most certainly do...unfortunately.

reply

What's wrong with singing animals? The O.G. Lion King was also a singing animals movie and it's one of the best movie ever made, animated or otherwise.

reply

These Sing films should not even be mentioned in the same sentence as The Lion King.

reply

What about matrix awful numbers queen, any comment? Nope didnt think so lol getting absolutely crushed by NWH lol

reply

Universal are running at a loss this year , disney 64 million profit lol , oh qieen your the gift that keeps giving lol

reply

Nope, it just started steaming on Disney+.

reply

Even worse. Another huge money-loser airing for free a month after it's release on a money-losing streaming service.

reply

Encanto isnt being released on HBO max ? Thats a streaming service losing money, Disney certainly isnt , 2 billion per qtr , unless you have evidence that Disney is losing money, links, quotes, receipts? Or do you make these things up so you feel better?

reply

Well, there's a reason for that, the film isn't very good. If they're dumping it into streaming early, it's because they know it doesn't have the potential to be a huge hit.

Seriously, why couldn't they work out a better script? The animation looked wowza, but the story was nonsense.

reply

How come you hate Disney so much queen? Are you jealous or something? How is sing 2 crushing encanto ? Its made 65 million ww, encanto has made 195?

How come you havent commented on flops such as matrix , TSS or WW84?

reply

No one gives a fuck about your little tiff with that user. Shut up

reply

well you obviously do , look how emotional you got

reply

TSS?

reply

The suicide squad

reply

Oh yes! Of course. Thank you 😊

reply

Disney did not advertise the movie at all, there is a trailer for it that played in theatres when seeing other kids movies but no where else. If anything, that it did this well with no advertising shows just how good the movie is.

reply

Yeah, I had no clue the movie was even coming out until I saw it show up on the box office listings on the IMDB site. It's amazing how a major Disney release like this basically got no buzz at all.

reply

Just watched it the other day. Seems the only advertising they are getting are from the tik tokkers all posting about it. After a while, I had to find out why we weren't talking about Bruno, lol. I thought it was ok; it was cute. but definitely not something I feel the need to re-watch.

reply

But are you a 6 year old kid?

reply

Are the year olds paying for the movie? Didn't realize they could work that young.

reply

Kids work very hard at annoying the hell out of their parents if they don't take them to the movies.

reply

I absolutely hated this movie. It was just terrible. I felt it's only redeeming quality was the amazing and beautiful color and graphics but other than that, just awful.

reply

According to BoxOfficeMojo, as of today Sing 2 has taken 219m compared to Encanto, which has taken 223m

Only 4m lead, but once again Queen's predictions are catastrophically wrong.
