You h8rs might not be hype for Jungle Book but my audience has giggled like hyenas every time when they do the little whistle cue at the end, usually followed by a nostalgic "aww".

The Angry Birds Movie - These birds need anger management class! I'm surprised it took this long to get that made. Now I'm wondering if it's too late. But then again I thought Frozen looked awful and was going to bomb, so what do I know It is getting a bit weird now with all the 10+ year sequels to movies that didn't need it (My Big Fat Greek Wedding, another Bridget Jones, another Independence Day, another Bad Santa, etc).

Rageaholic Monkey posted:The original animated Jungle Book was great. I'm sure it still is. I haven't seen it since I was a kid. But I'm 100% sure it doesn't need a live action remake rife with trash CGI. The CGI actually looked good, I thought. I've never seen the cartoon and am not part of the target audience, so I don't really care one way or the other, but seems hard to fault them on that account.

Another notable bomb from 2015 was Rock The Casbah, the Bill Murray movie with a really low budget (I think it was less than $20 million) but grossed even less. One thing interesting about Ouija 2, they actually managed to snag the director of Oculus.

The original Jungle Book isn't even that great in terms of the classic Disney cartoons made while Walt was still alive, it's like one or two good musical numbers and a bunch of padding and dated pop culture references. The best part of it was the character of Baloo and even then they spent the next 30 years recycling his character and voice.

When I saw Star Wars the Zootopia teaser trailer with the sloths played and the crowd went nuts for it so I think the people expecting it to be a flop don't need to worry.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:We should also acknowledge the 2003 direct-to-video-except-that-really-short-cinematic-release sequel to the 1967 animated film which has cameo appearances by Timon and Pumbaa and a cover of the classic "I Wanna Be like You" by Smash Mouth if we're gonna ride the "Why do they need to gently caress with the classics?" train. All those direct to video sequels were farmed out to an Australian studio that used North Korean labor if I remember right. It was when they were redoing their animation department and wanted to get something out. Anyone have the link to that old thread about bad Disney animation? The one that talked a lot about Oliver and Company?

FlamingLiberal posted:The Angry Birds Movie - These birds need anger management class! Oh, it most certainly is too late. Rovio has essentially laid off any staff that isn't working on the movie, and they've poured effectively all their remaining cash on hand into financing the production and marketing. When it flops, it will very likely bankrupt the company.

Anyone know anything about Diablo? It has Eastwood's son, and Walton Goggins in it, but I've always known January to be where studios send movies to die.

I'm actually surprised that Bad Santa 2 is still being made. I remember back in 2013 it actually got a release date for that Christmas, and then completely vanished a few months later. This thread is the first I've heard about it actually being back on track. On the subject of movies that just completely vanished, is there any news at all about when The Moon and the Sun will be released, or why it was dropped so suddenly in the first place?

If any video game adaptation was good, it could supplant Mortal Kombat as the best video game adaptation. DrVenkman posted:Both FANTASTIC FOUR and TOMORROWLAND did a lot better worldwide than what I thought they did. Worldwide is a big place even though the US market is still the biggest single group of ticket buyers (China may catch up next year, but as pointed out at the end of the last thread, the financial numbers for movies in China are pretty much a complete fabrication). The thing to remember about worldwide grosses is that the studios get a fraction of a fraction of the gross in those other nations due to the various cuts taken by different organizations.

Isn't Blart 2 a moderate success? Double it's budget back on just the domestic market alone seems like for any other film it would be viewed as pretty good even if it did less business compared to the original. Add into that, it probably moved a lot of DVDs and had the TV rights bought up pretty quick.

No, Cameron filmed for like two days before the producer fired him for not getting enough quality bikini shots. Despite doing next to nothing Cameron was the only crew member without an Italian name so he kept the billing

Add into that, it probably moved a lot of DVDs and had the TV rights bought up pretty quick. To be considered a "success" a movie has to make roughly about triple it's budget back. Production budgets listed usually don't include marketing budgets, which are usually a third to half the movie's budget. There is also reception rating, a studio is less likely to make a sequel even if the profitability of the previous film made it a moderate success but people walked out of the film not liking it. Obviously these aren't solid rules, just rough guidelines taught in production classes.
