Frozen sucked, I didn't understand the hooplah about it but kids loved it. Toy Story 3 wasn't that great to me either but mostly cause it had me in my feels. I saw the first Toy Story in theatres, 2 summers later I went to the pizza planet at Disney world and got this all chrome Buzz Lightyear. I put my name on the bottom of his foot too

Toy Story 3 was great. Don't know what y'all talkin about. I really liked Frozen but I can see why a lot of people hated it. tbt if Elsa didnt have superpowers (cryo/hydrokinesis one of my favorites) IDK how I'd feel about it.

U trippin I loved that ****
Ended up buying the bluray for the kids and FINALLY got around to seeing it
It was dope
I still walk around saying "the cold never bothered me anyway"
Mind u I'm a 28 year old black dude walking down the street
In a hoody and du-rag singing that ****
On second thought
Maybe it was just the songs
My daughter got me to buy the soundtrack
And I find myself not skipping the songs when it comes up on the iPod
The frog princess was MUCH better than frozen people hated on that movie hardbody
And toy story 3 was the best animated film hands down idc what ANYBODY says
HTTYD was super dope
Wanted to see part 2 but the fam vetoed me and we went to go see transformers 4 instead
Monsters university was just ok
Not bad but I felt didn't add anything to the monsters universe
It shoulda been a sequel instead of a prequel
Oh and toy story 2 and up are trash IMO

^That was pretty brutal but I'm not a big fan of either character. Way beyond excited though for the upcoming Green Ranger vs Ryu and Boba Fett vs. Predator matchups.

Frozen had hooplah because there were strong female characters something that is being pushed by that crowd hence Brave being made.

As far as Cate Blanchett goes, an actress of her caliber doing something like an animated film is a big deal, so when it doesn't go over as expected, there's definitely going to be some second thoughts.

speaking of frozen, that movie was so overrated. That soundtrack def carried the movie. Story was bland

 

[shogun]

I hate that frozen song now. Hear it way too much.

I legit thought Frozen was going to be another animated buddy comedy after that first teaser trailer with Olaf and Sven. I thought it sounded hilarious. A snowman with a reindeer as his friend. Like it would be another Woody and Buzz, Mike and Sully, Lightning and Mater, Mr. Incredible and Frozone, etc.

I never actually looked into it. Just saw the trailer and that it was Disney Animation. It's a good movie, but just not my type of movie.

Yep, they do it on purpose.. Same deal with Tangled, changed the original title of Rapunzel and held back on the Disney Princess fairy tale qualities in the trailers. Frozen used to be called The Snow Queen originally

So far their marketing strategy has been working pretty well... Frozen grossed 1.2 billion at the box office

 

[ksteezy]

Bro Frozen brought in so muchhhh money...ya gotta understand, you win the kids over, YOUVE WON....parents are defenseless, my little niece has everything in her room Frozen, she was just riding her Elsa bicycle yesterday...Disney Princess animated flicks are a cash cow forever...a kid is gonna wanna see it and is not like the adults get in for free, so each kid that wants to see the movie accounts for at the very least 1 more ticket sale or in most cases 2 so that's 3 for 1 reason why rated r films fell off

 

[Fresh Like Will]

Real talk. The higher the rating, the less potential profit you can earn. The big movies can make buckets of cash, but there seems to be less of a middle now where movies for smaller markets can still be really successful. They have to compete with things like on-demand streaming services and piracy.

These movies have expensive ad campaigns just so they can hope it gets people to the theater. The summer is getting crowded with high budget blockbusters and sequels. Movies that would of been R get dropped to PG-13 so they can get more people. There's a lot of unrated home releases though. I swear they make the R movie and just remove the blood from when dudes get shot for the theatrical release and put it back in for the Blu-ray.

 

[rfx45]

It really depends on the R-ated films. Horror films make bank just because the budget is so low. Take The Purge for exampl, $3m budget and it made $90m worldwide, Insidious' budget was $1.5m and made $97m, etc.... The saw franchise, Saw1 had a $1.2m budget and made over $100m and it continued on and that is why they keep making them, the worst one was Saw6 with cost $11m and made $68m. Not to mention that these horror flicks also makes plenty from bluray sales.

Now R-rated films based on comic books, that strictly limits your reach and that is why it is rarely made. I think Kick-A** is the only one that made it work but the second one just made double it's budget while the first one tripled it.


There are also other R-rated films that makes huge bucks that isn't a horror flick, though it is more like a jackpot than a regularity, like Magic Mike. $7m budget and it made $167m worldwide.

The View probably lost some viewers when they fired 3 of the 5 hosts. They need a high rating.

 

[shogun]

They re-hired that disgusting thing they call rosie o'donnell.

Why even announce anything now when SDCC is next week?

 

[tr1ll]

New Marvel Movie?

That we dont already know about?

 

[rook]

Ant Man probably?

 

[AEA18]

Ant Man probably?

Everybody that cares about Ant-Man already knows about the film

@ watching Frozen.

I mean if that's your thing okay but if you just bought in to the hype

I just knew it wasn't for me based off of the crazy hype with children and I haven't even heard one of the songs in it's entirety but cringed at parts of it :x

 

[Master Zik]

Why even announce anything now when SDCC is next week?

To get out ahead of the competition. Same thing happened last year with the comics. SDCC is mainly dominated by movies and tv show despite being a comic convention but now since that's ruling it as early feelers for the fans to see what works I'm sure the competition is aware of what each other may be announcing.

Plus right now it seems the MCU won't be announcing a whole lot. A tv show, maybe some of the movies years from now for phase 3. Only other strategy I can think of is they have so much to announce or one thing so big that they're letting some stuff go earlier.
