Cartoon Network is lame and made a We Bare Bears artist delete a tweet with a little line animation of Ice Bear punching a nazi (which was consigned by the creator of the show to boot!)

I dunno if it's been mentioned, but it looks like Leap is finally getting its goddamn US release this month. Swear I've been seeing the same trailer for it for two dang years.

I haven't gotten out to films too much; truthfully, I hadn't even heard of the film until I went out to see Your Name early this year. It didn't look terribly promising, tbh. Much like most of the animated fare available at the moment (Emoji Movie, Nut Job 2, Despicable Me 3... I actually do kinda wanna watch Cars 3, though if I never see it in theaters, I'll survive).

Yeah, the Weinsteins have been broke every time it's been near release so they've been delaying it since early 2016 IIRC.

Its possible that the movie has a subplot about a kid trying to make a flying machine, but it turned out better than the main plot, and they decided to change the name/make a trailer that emphasizes that more.

Reading the synopsis the boy really, really isn't relevant at all. (Like, he's about as important as the boy in Kiki's Delivery Service.) That said, lol america

It's the same reason why John Carter avoided mentioning it's on mars, or that a princess is a very important character: Stupid marketers getting spooked by flops (Mars Needs Moms flopped so they dropped the mars part) and are under the delusion that girls and women don't spend money as much as guys do or that guys will flee at the slightest signs of femininity.

A little ironic given that iirc, most movies that are hits with women and girls (Titanic, Frozen, Wonder Woman) make shitloads of money from huge tails and repeat viewings.

They tried to explain Tangled's name as having to do with the fact that it was as much Flynn's story as it was Rapunzel's, but I don't buy it.

How'd the Cowboy Bebop movie do? (Cheating a little even so given its version of Mars is basically the new Earth, given the original Earth is uninhabitable thanks to environmental catastrophe)

Shadow Hog posted:Surprising nobody, Nut Job 2's opening is abysmal. Cartoon Brew makes it out to be a record worst all-time opening, though I dunno how true that actually is (there has to be some small film nobody's ever heard of that opened worse, surely). anticake posted:It's worst opening on more than 4000, or some such, screens specifically. There was the last movie Jessica Simpson did that opened on literally one screen in Dallas, or some such Texas city, to meet a contract obligation. I'm sure that grossed all of no dollars. Andorra posted:What about Delgo? That's gotta still have some kind of record, right? Delgo had an opening weekend of only $512,000 (and didn't get a second weekend, LOL) but only opened on 2160 screens. Box Office Mojo's list of animated movies only shows that only 29 animated movies have ever opened on 4000 screens or more and 92 movies of any type that opened on 4000 screens or more and The Nut Job 2s opening of $8 million is the lowest of those by a huge margin, the next lowest being For comparison, Mars Needs Moms opened on 3117 screens and made $6.9m on opening weekend, The Ant Bully opened on 3,050 screens and made $8.4m, the George Lucas film Strange Magic had 3,020 screens and made $5.5m ... Edit: just to underline how goddamn ridiculous it was to assign that many screens to Nut Job 2, it opened on more screens than Godzilla 2014, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Moana or Zootopia.

This was my exact question when I was the only person watching a showing of Insidious, particularly after the midway point when everything bafflingly turned to absolute poo poo. "If it weren't for me, would they have to be showing this? Does my sole ticket cost even cover this screening? Oh wow, I feel guilty."

If it's totally empty and not a megaplex theatre they might turn it off early to get some cleaning/maintenance done, perhaps. (Probably missing a rhetorical question, but)

The_Doctor posted:If a screening sells no tickets, does a cinema still do the screening? I did some quick googling and there were several different answers, but most cinemas these days use digital projectors which run automatically so it looks like a lot of them just let the movie run even if the theatre is empty. One issue is that customers can still buy tickets 10 or 15 minutes after the movie has started and if the projectionist starts the movie for them at that point it might throw off the schedule for the rest of the day. One theater manager said that if there's no one in the theatre they might turn the bulb off to save it but let the digital projector keep everything else running in case a late minute customer buys a ticket, in which case they can just turn the bulb back on. Of course smaller cinemas which have humans running the equipment will have their own their own practices when it comes to stuff like this.

They still show the movie in case anyone wants to walk into it like an hour late for whatever reason. At least Showcase does, that's where I worked.

Waffleman_ posted:Did Nut Job 1 actually do well enough to not only warrant a sequel, but one coming out in summer? Yeah, it did waaaay better than anyone expected for a January dump movie, and this year had a dearth of summer blockbusters, so they probably saw a chance since they really wouldn't be competing with a Disney/Pixar or DW blockbuster.

Also it was the biggest box office hit to date by a huge margin for the production companies and distributor behind it so I guess they decided to go all in on a sequel.

Though at the same time, I don't believe a sizable enough contingent would - after all, Mad Max: Fury Road still did gangbusters despite its mostly-female group of protagonists (Max and Nux being the exceptions), and the aforementioned group raising a huge stink over this fact.
