Tracking for $44 million opening


If the budget is the usual 200+million then we have a big problem here.

reply

Boxoffice.com has it tracking at 55 million which would be decent if it has good legs.

reply

2 million in previews.

Not bad but not great.

UPDATE:

Gasp...Deadline downgrading their forecast to just 40 million for the weekend!

reply

Will you ever see the futility of all these box office forecasts?

reply

It's not my forecast...it's Deadline's.

reply

Annnnnd...it came in at 40 million.

reply

The previews make it look absolutely dire.

reply

Yeah...a lot of people are getting a DreamWorks vibe from the trailers. It seems to be a film that is hard to promote. I love Pixar so I'm still seeing it regardless.

reply

I love almost everything Pixard does, but there was the meh "Cars", and the really annoying "Brave", and the deadly dull "Good Dinosaur". They are capable of making films that arent fun.

I sincerely hope I'm wrong about "Onward" being another dud.

reply

You know what I'm really interested in is how John Lasseter's absence will be felt. This will be the first original Pixar film that was made almost entirely without his involvement. He's been gone since November 2017.

But the Boycott! And the Plague!

reply

What boycott and why? I saw it today. Very enjoyable fun adventure ride and some sad moments of family.

reply

One Million Moms! That's the name of the Christian group, not their number. Muslim nations just ban it.

One Million Moms is wailing about Disney-Pixar's out character in the upcoming film as "indoctrination" that leaves them "no other choice.".

This sounds familiar....ummmmmm why does it sound familiar..

I swear its almost like you tried this before?

oh ya, you made the same exact troll threads for all 8 Disney films in 2019 that went on to top 1 Billion +......lets see how those films with 200 M+ budgets worked out for Disney that you claimed would be "Big Problems" for Disney....

1. Avengers Endgame---Disney Nets 900 Million In Profit
2. Frozen 2----Disney Nets $599 Million in Profit
3. The Lion King---Disney Nets $580 Million In Profit(certainly netted a "Once in a generation type" profit....lol)
5. Captain Marvel---Disney Nets $414 Million In Profit
6. Toy Story 4-----Disney Nets $368 Million In Profit
7. Aladdin----Disney Nets $356 Million In Profit
8. Spider-Man Far From Home----Overall $339 M in Profit, Disney gets $55 Million(Plus Hundreds of Millions more from Merchandising the film)
9. Rise Of Skywalker----Disney Nets $300 Million In Profit



Man Queen, Disney's "Huge Budgets" only seem to be a "Big Problem" for you.....lol for Disney those "Huge Budgets" seem to be resulting in RECORD PROFITS....but for you those "Huge Budgets" seem to be resulting in nothing but shame,embarrassment and total failure, so much so you've been in hiding for 9 days now since deadline released these record breaking results...

PS

I'm thinking about going back and finding each FAILED Trolled thread you started for all 8 Billion + films of above and posting them here just to properly illustrate the depths of your failures....

my only hesitation is the time it would take, But Make no mistake, with every film above, with all 8 of Disney's 1 Billion + films that Netted Disney 300 to 900 Million in Profit....you hilariously made this exact same "Huge Budget" Troll thread and claimed each film was going to "be in trouble"....

at this point I dont know which is more astonishing, the fact that you continue to make that same exact "Huge Budget" troll thread that FAILS on a near 100% basis....Or the fact that its clear you are incapable of of adjusting your trolling, you simply can not think of better ways to troll.

when you use the same "Huge Budgets" trolling tactic time and time again and at BEST it works 1 out of 10 times, but most times it Literally NEVER works....Its almost beyond imagination that you continue to use such a Horrifically Awful trolling tactic that results in near 100% failure....

again this cant be by choice....You cant sit back and look at the 50 times you've used this tactic and had it fail 45 times and Think "This is a good idea to keep doing it"

Instead, I think you keep doing it because you simply have "No choice"...You just arent smart enough to think of a different trolling tactic...bottom line, You are just terrible at trolling...

You are fully aware that your "Huge Budget" troll threads are going to fail when you post them....But you have "No Choice"to keep posting them because You hate Disney so much, You have to troll....and your not smart enough to think of better ways to troll, so your stuck in this circle of failure where you continue to post the exact same "Huge Budget" troll threads that result in universal failure for you...

lol Your LIVING HELL ON EARTH!

reply

LOL

billbrown...you are one sick puppy.

I'm not "hiding", nor have I "disappeared". As I told you before, I am not spending any more time or energy engaging with a pathological liar.

P.S.-Calling me out as "stupid" is rich coming from someone that has been told multiple times by NUMEROUS posters that the correct spelling of the contraction of "YOU ARE" is "you're" and not "your".

I'm done with you, bill. Give it up. YOU'RE not "haunting" me. "You're" just proving yourself to be an idiot.

BTW...how is Disney doing right now? LOL...of the "big three" studios(Comcast/Universal, AT&T/Warner Bros, Walt Disney Co.), there is only ONE that is losing 30 million a week. Hell..Netflix is now worth more than Disney.

Care to guess which of the three is doing that?

reply

Correction:

I got it wrong...according to the NYTimes, since this pandemic has started, Disney is losing 30 million a DAY, not a week. 30 MILLION A DAY. All those profits that you are intending to "haunt" me with are going...going...gone.

Now THAT'S my final word to you.

reply

Ok...let me break my word just ONCE and tell you the REAL reason I have no desire to continue to engage with you.

If this was the old IMDB boards and there were tons of people on it and they were watching our exchanges it would be fun. You have told one fake, creepy story on top of a lie and another creepy fake story on top of another lie to cover the other lie that if there were OTHER PEOPLE to laugh and call out and converse over this it would be synergistic fun. But there's no one here...just me and you and me chasing all your creepy lies down only to be met with more creepy lies.

It's tiresome and boring.

As I said about you and to you once before, "You lack conviction", even moreso if you deem you need an audience just to entertain your trolling of Billbrown. 😂

I thought you LOVED Disney and they were by far your favorite studio? 🤔

reply

Ahhh...i forgot...there IS someone else here. Unfortunately, it's the "mediator", Norrinrad. The one who said he's "neither pro-billbrown or anti-queen " but saves all of his pointed commentary for me while he PM's billbrown.

So I'm the one "trolling" billbrown, huh? You just quoted my response to his following me around or as he calls it "haunting my dreams"(lol). I'm telling him to give it up and get lost because all it's devolved into is me chasing down his endless stories and lies and without an "audience" to share it with...frankly it's boring. It's not like he's ever going to own up to any of it so the pursuit is fruitless as well. But of course, the "mediator" calls me the "troll". Not once do you have a question for bill and all of his obviously fake stories and lies but you DO like to speak to him in private. You know...the same kind of "back-channel communications" you accused dmac and I(falsely) of engaging in. You never answered my question months ago when I asked you what you PM'd him about. Still not going to?

Disney IS my favorite studio so I don't understand your "question" about that, either. Always "questions" for me but seemingly zero curiosity about anything billbrown writes. That's very un-"mediator"-like of you.

Also, could you just post like a normal person for once instead of wording them like pretentious riddles?

Understood...but they aren't my rules. They are billbrown's rules and I'm having a bit of fun with them.

So you're posting statements on the board that you don't believe in under the guise of "A bit of Fun"? Fun for who and fun to whom?

There's a word for that type of behavior...
There's a term for that type of tactic.....

There's a phrase for that type of activity.....

What's that word? Hmmmm, it escapes me for the moment. If only I could figure it out? It starts with a "T" and often ends in "ing" but it isn't twerking.

No, that's not it.

No, it's not Trawling. Close, but that's not it either. It'll come to me if I roll through more T words in my thoughts.

I'll leave it to others more efficient in language to figure it out. 😂
