Not exactly greenlit but my local AMC has been replaying a different disney animated movie eqch week for over a month now. This week it's Brave. It's a cool idea but there are only showings at 2 and 6 pm, no morning time, plus they're full price tickets (11 bucks!).
Same theater has Rocky Horror tonight, tickets for 6 bucks. And the new Lego ninja and MLP movies are 7 buck tickets. :wtf:

And the princess bride replay on sunday is a 13 dollar ticket. No standard prices at all, jesus.

I could see why. Disney is notoriously for their fuckery to keep their IP as established 'Premium Brands'. And they know that most of their stuff is guaranteed money makers that most studios could only dream of. So if a theatre wants to show a classic Disney movie, or even a recent hit, they have to pretty much bend backwards to their demands, pay bank, or both. As for the weird scheduling, gently caress if I know. Figure it'd be best to blame Disney.

As for Lego and MLP, they both opened to pitiful weekend gross. Ninjago both is the least established Lego brand, and made the least of the series thus far. As for Ponies, they made less than $10 mill opening weekend. Both studios probably want to recoup costs as much as they can, and are probably willing to take a hit on the tickets to get more butts in seats.

As for Rocky Horror vs Princess Bride, I dunno. I guess the 'prestige' and the wider potential audience of the latter means that whoever holds it feels more willing to ask for a better price to show it. And to be frank, Rocky Horror was always kinda a slut to the almighty dollar.

Exploration is ill-advised.
Theatrical movies of ongoing cartoons never seem to do well, but they keep on making them.

Maybe they clean up on home video/DVD/netflix and the theatrical release is just a glorified advertising campaign?

It’s cool that the LEGO Movie was surprisingly good so now there has to be a new one pumped out annually, and also cutscenes from the LEGO videogames are compiled and sold as “movies.”

Oh and every Dreamworks movie can have a Netflix show spinoff.

I was mostly surprised, because I figured every movie was the same price, except for matinee discount or 3d/imax charges. I just always hand my credit card over and dont ask, because they sure dont have prices posted. Might sell more tickets for the cheap movies if people actually knew they were cheap :shrug:

And disney charging almost half the price of the blueray for decades-old movies is flat out greedy and counterproductive. If tickets were like 3 bucks, kids could arrange parties around it. Oh well

Rocky Horror is most likely your theater putting it on themselves. I would assume Princess Bride is a Fathom Event, and those are often bonkers expensive compared to regular movie tickets.

They don't have to download a camrip of the MLP movie. A couple days ago someone somehow leaked both the entirety of the unreleased episodes of the current season, as well as the actual 160 GB-ish theatrical release copy of the film, as well as some internal design notes for when the show was starting to be made.

Lego Batman was really good, I haven't seen Ninjago but apparently it being a turd is largely because they made it a continuation of a TV show nobody watches or cares about and they spend most of the movie reiterating stuff from the show instead of doing their own thing.

According to my kids the movie is too different than the show and doesn’t really continue it at all.

It’s just a property that isn’t as popular as Lego in a generic sense or Batman.

on the Acting Wrestler scale of Dean Ambrose to Dwayne Johnson, Cena is easily at Hulk Hogan right now, with a potential to get all the way up to Andre the Giant.
