Disney's first of two big guns


for the holiday season just fired a semi-blank last night with Frozen II.

The long-awaited sequel to the BIGGEST ANIMATED FILM OF ALL TIME earned just 8.5 million in previews.

Is TROS also heading for an underperformance?

Everyone was expecting next year for Disney to really retrench...but is it already happening now?

reply

I'll be heading to an early afternoon showing of The Rise of Skywalker, I suspect the theater may be a quarter full in an early afternoon showing say 1 or 2pm.

There may be a full theater for the evenings here and there, but I don't think it will last much longer beyond the first weekend.

reply

What an idiot!

reply

There were plenty of seats at the last one's premier.

reply

Why would anyone bring their children to an evening show when next day is school?

reply

Both movies will make a billion , this post is premature, yet again you will be proved to be an idiot.

reply

Frozen 2 is underperforming. The whole industry is talking about it.

reply

Let’s wait and see , I know you can’t wait to see it perform bad as is your hate for Disney driven by jealousy because it’s a movie studio that out performs WB and universal, you’re favourite studios

reply

Whoops

reply

"Whoops"

LOL...fair enough, rockfly. I do think it's a little underwhelming domestically following the biggest animated film of all-time that was a cultural phenomenon. It will be interesting to see how it holds from here on out.

reply

127 million domestically in 3days? underwhelming? deluded

reply

Please compare it to other animated OWs, please.

Do I need to remind you yet again that this is the sequel to THE HIGHEST GROSSING ANIMATED FILM OF ALL TIME?

reply

Its was released 3 days ago , yet you decided thats its under performing!!! Always the same with you , if its wb or universal you cant wait to gloat, hows harriet doing ?

reply

Harriet has only been released in one international market so far.

Queen you are quite stupid. You are a big ignorant imbecile. Why do you want people to compare the OW of Frozen 2 with other animated movies, while keep calling Frozen 1 as the HIGHEST GROSSING ANIMATED FILM OF ALL TIME? Don't you know that all those animated movies you want to compare Frozen 2 OW also opened higher than the OW of THE HIGHEST GROSSING ANIMATED FILM OF ALL TIME? Still with a lower OW Frozen 1 made more at the end.

Why don't you better compare Frozen 2 OW with the OW of the HIGHEST GROSSING ANIMATED FILM OF ALL TIME? Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha...

Frozen 1 OW 93,933,226 in a 5 days span...
Frozen 2 OW 130,263,358 in a 3 days span...

Frozen 2 is already making more in three days than the HIGHEST GROSSING ANIMATED FILM OF ALL TIME? in 5 days. And you say it is underperforming domestically. What an idiot.

The real money is in the merch, and that ain't selling.

reply

Star Wars merch or Frozen merch?

reply

It's a Star Wars thread, so I was referring to Star Wars merch - thought I was responding to the OP, but understand the confusion.

I have no knowledge or interest in the animated mythical adventures of lesbian & black Norwegians of the early middle ages, or its movie merch.

reply

I am the OP.

reply

Good for you!

reply

I can see you're a real sharp one.

reply

Thanks, Cupcake - and I have a feeling you're going to make some lucky guy a great ex-wife.

reply

why go to theater and spend $100 when you can watch on Disney + in 3 months with $6.99 subscription ?

Ignore queen , has an irrational hate for disney and jumps at the chance to say anything negative

reply

Yup.

I started this thread right after the underwhelming Thursday preview numbers were released. The situation improved as the weekend went on but a 130 million opening weekend is indeed a disappointment to the (arguably) most hotly anticipated sequel in history. Frozen was the BIGGEST ANIMATED FILM IN HISTORY.

Now...overseas has been spectacular. Domestic...disappointing.

reply

Queen FFS its only just opened, what did it finish with Domestically? how on earth can you say that's disappointing considering the crap you come out with on other non Disney films, Abominable ,Harriet, Downtown Abbey, domestically its doing great, and you look like an idiot

reply

"considering the crap you come out with on other non Disney films, Abominable ,Harriet, Downtown Abbey"

What are you talking about? Please elaborate.

reply

Queen , frozen 2 has made 130 million domestically in 3 days , frozen made 400 million domestically in its whole run , please explain to me how 130 million is a dissapointment? Thats a huge number

reply

Disappointing for whom?

reply

Ummmm….Disney?

reply

This film will not be a disappointment for Disney they will make a ton of profit.

reply

Frozen II will do well. I hope, however, that this turdfest "Rise of Skywalker" flops hard on its ass, though. Fck Kathleen Kennedy.

reply

Both Movies will do very well and be in the top 10 grossing films of the year.
