Does anyone doubt that


this is going to just murder the box office this summer?

1 billion worldwide is the absolute floor for this one.

As usual, Universal/Illumination keeping the budget at 70 million. And the merchandise sales for the first film were off the chart. This one will introduce even more characters for merch.

Queen , hows that 1billion prediction working out for you ? 154 so far , give it up, you suck.

reply

It looks like a billion isn't going to happen but it still has lots of runway left(Universal/Illumination films have long legs) and many, many major markets left to open in.

That 154 million number is deceptive as this one is being rolled out slowly globally.

Dim wit

Funny I thought merchandising was not a part of your profit analysis for box offices???

What gives?

reply

It's not. Just mentioning how unusually strong the merch sales were for the first one. It's bonus on top of theatrical profits...not a substitution for it.

reply

Oh that's so funny. No one ever said or intimated that merchandising was a substitution for box office performance. It is you who brought up Merchandising in the same paragraph beginning with talking about Murdering the Box Office. The merchandising (really in this case) can't lead the Box Office Murdering and in this case it can follow a murdering that isn't happening. If fewer people are viewing SLOP2 how can that possibly translate to greater sales?

You say that the 1st SLOP movie merchandise results impact was OFF THE CHARTS how would selling half as many tickets for SLOP2 translate to it being even a larger OFF THE CHART result? Based on what QueenFanUSA?

If $1Billion was the floor that would mean you expected for the popularity to grow. It has not grown QueenFanUSA. Or has it and no one is seeing the growth but you? Right now for domestic BO SLOP2 has sold less than 1/2 the number of tickets and internationally less than 1/3 the number of tickets. Where is the merchandising BOOMING or going to BOOM for SLOP2? Where is the social media buzz increasing for SLOP2?

Why can't you just be honest and objective instead of disingenuous and subjective, and best of all stop just making things up?! In truth these aren't even opinions by you that are even based on anything. You just seem to make stuff up when you see a Disney situation not to your liking.

Thus the reason why so many say that you troll these boards with Anti-Disney screeds based around words of, "Disney is my favorite studio". Just be honest about your dislike and envy of Disney.

I never cease to be surprised and amused by the entirely incorrect prediction you make, Queen. Keep on rocking.
