Holy shit at the Lion King. Prepare to have every fucking animated film since Steamboat Willy re released in glorious 3-D!! My generation having kids has doomed us all!

I would love to see the Iron giant to be made in 3D.

I welcome re releases of Disney Golden Age stuff so I can have them all on Bluray =)

You dont get 100% of the gross from movie theaters. Its around ~55%.

 

[jett]

Man you have to be fucking retarded to greenlit a $70 million Statham movie. Nevermind Clive "Box Office Poison" Owen.

 

[Lebron]

Long Live The King



Fuck you, Scar.

 

[DMczaf]

Who the fuck is Open Road Films and why did they release a $70M movie starring

Jason Statham
Robert DeNiro (Sorry Bobby, the real you died 15 years ago)
Clive Owen
Yvonne Strahovski
Dominic Purcell

 

[MIMIC]

I want to see Lion King again but not in 3D

 

[Max Armstrong]

But Clive Owen is awesome

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Man you have to be fucking retarded to greenlit a $70 million Statham movie. Nevermind Clive "Box Office Poison" Owen.

Apparently they thought DeNiro is a box office draw for some reason.

 

[jett]

hopefully they keep it in release long enough to reclaim its place as the highest grossing animation film. so much better than this pixar/dreamworks filth.

Unless Disney makes a stupid move here TLK will easily reclaim its spot as the most successful animated movie of all time.

Wow... Dominic Purcell is in it? Now I get it.

Very Very unlikely. 50 million is a lot of ground to cover. My guess is it makes it up half the difference between where it is now and Shrek 2. Plus I don't think Disney will extend the release by more than one or two weeks.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Wow... Dominic Purcell is in it? Now I get it.

Apparently he has some crazy facial hair in it.

 

[TheKaeptain]

I hope Drive bombs, hard.

*runs from hipster gaf*

Hipsters movie this is not.

it made 60 million in two weeks, and as the drop shows, animation, and family films in general, often have excellent legs. if disney keeps it in release, 50 million is more than doable. in fact, if disney gives it time, it would be extremely likely.

 

[soundscream]

*runs from hipster gaf*

Thankfully it didn't.

*runs from dense gaf*

 

[Jay Sosa]

3%?

Have to see that one.

Better than Toy Story? Nah.

Or saved us all...
I want to have kids. Just so I can share the Lion King and Aladdin with them.

 

[paparazzo]

Bucky Larson nowhere to be seen in the top 50. :lol Thank God.

What if your kid doesnt like either of those movies? What if your kid likes to play with Barbies and like Beiber shit?

 

[kswiston]

Smurfs passed 500M worldwide this weekend. It is now the highest grossing non-sequel of the year (8th overall including sequels).

 

[bigosc2k]

Bucky Larson nowhere to be seen in the top 50. :lol Thank God.

Hopefully Jack and Jill will suffer the same fate

Shrek 2 is amazing.

 

[Veidt]

Then I know I can stop paying child support, cause the motherfucker isn't mine, that's for sure.

 

[BertramCooper]

It won't.

$100 million at least.

 

[Phoenician_Viking]

Nah. Adam Sandler can pull the audience to see the movie. Not many people but still. It will do alright. What a shitty concept of a movie though.

 

[MPW]

Drive

at least it made profit

 

[06nbarnhill]

Shrek 2 is amazing.

Yup. Shrek 2 was a great film.

To bad Shrek 3 went and tainted the franchise.

 

[Diprosalic]

Holy shit at the Lion King. Prepare to have every fucking animated film since Steamboat Willy re released in glorious 3-D!! My generation having kids has doomed us all!

i don't think it would work nearly as well, Lion King is a movie many teenager/twenty something loved in their childhood and haven't really seen since. not many of those would go and see beauty and the beast.

 

[TacticalFox88]

What the hell at Rise of the Planet of the Apes :lol :lol still won't die.

 

[overcast]

Lol no.

 

[BobFromPikeCreek]

Haha, no. Sandler is box office gold.

 

[Phoenician_Viking]

Lol no.

It should be lol no to both DW and Pixar.

 

[Mr.Swag]

What the hell at Rise of the Planet of the Apes :lol :lol still won't die.

Biggest surprise of the year is this movie not being shitty.

 

[overcast]

Dreamworks is alright, but I could see if somebody didn't forgive their initial string of shit movies.

 

[kswiston]

Beauty and the Beast and the Lion King were both re-released in IMAX back in 2002. Beauty and the Beast made $25M. Lion King made $15M. There would be a sizable market for Beauty and the Beast in 3D. Maybe not quite as high as the Lion King, but probably $50M+.

I would definitely go catch Beauty and the Beast again.

 

[Grinchy]

I'm not gonna lie, the mention of Beauty and the Beast just made me nostalgia hardcore. I enjoyed Lion King, but not that much. I probably like Beauty more *shrug*

 

[outunderthestars]

It won't.

$100 million at least.

I don't think Sandler has that many fans left....

 

[Recon]

I don't think Sandler has that many fans left....

His last film made over 100 million, and that was in Feb.2011.

 

[WillyFive]

Beauty and the Beast was great, and deserved to be nominated for Best Picture. But I think The Lion King trumps it.

 

[artist]

lol

Even the teen girls couldnt save Llama ..

It appears like Taylor Lautner is the latest Twilight star to struggle outside of the franchise: Abduction opened to a weak estimated $11.2 million from 3,118 locations. That's less than half of Eagle Eye's $29.2 million opening from three years ago, and also off from fellow Twilight star Robert Pattinson's Water for Elephants ($16.8 million). The audience breakdown was 68 percent female and 56 percent under the age of 25, and the movie received a "B-" CinemaScore (though that improves to an "A-" rating among females under 18).

Yeah, America cant resist Sandler in a rib ticklin' comedy

Yup, I still agree. Love both.

 

[06nbarnhill]

There really was no "string". They are just hit and miss.

How to Train Your Dragon is awesome enough that I don't mind the misses though.

 

[LOCK]

People go watch WARRIOR, IT IS AWESOME!!!!!!!

 

[Solo]

Was hoping Moneyball would take the weekend Favorite movie of the year so far.

 

[Solo]

$70M budget for a Statham-Owen guaranteed bomb? LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

 

[BertramCooper]

I'm not sure why people are moping about Drive.

It's doing okay, and it's not exactly a movie that begs for a sequel.

It's awesome, and will always be awesome.
