other than Toy Story, Pixar's sequels have been lame

Posted by: slipping jimmy (a.k.a mickpix) on May 31, 19:48 in response to lobogotti's post amen. but I'll say this though, Dory is going to bust...

small sample size to be sure but they only do them because Disney

Early tracking for TMNT2 at $40m...Studio estimate at $37m tomcat90 May 31, 19:29

I was thinking $50M tops. $40M is low, but the way things are going it won't surprise me to open there give or take a few million {nm} lobogotti May 31, 19:33

Agree...and people don't seem to be in a ticket buying mood at the moment...I guess the beach beckons :) {nm} tomcat90 May 31, 19:37

They don't seem to want to buy sequels... TwoMisfits May 31, 19:43

it's certainly calling me! Disneyland in three weeks and Kauai directly after. I'm more than ready. {nm} lobogotti May 31, 19:43

+1...I'm off to Belize myself. Have a GREAT time Lobo! {nm} tomcat90 May 31, 19:46

You as well Tom! {nm} lobogotti May 31, 19:52

Each sequel get worst each time. Some overprice ipo will crash in coming a few years. {nm} mike255 May 31, 19:37

A sequel to a terrible movie that most people did not like, with reviews indicating this one is as bad or even worse shadowking May 31, 19:44

amen. but I'll say this though, Dory is going to bust out and prove some sequels are worth the wait. {nm} lobogotti May 31, 19:46

my wife and I have a bet on this one. I'm probably too close to this one, but she thinks there's reason enough lobogotti May 31, 19:55

I have zero interest in Finding Dory. I thought the original movie was one of Pixar's worst. {nm} diamondman56 May 31, 20:21

Blasphemy!!! {nm} masonacj Jun 01, 07:08

No that's good. We'll need that extra seat. {nm} clusterxxxx Jun 01, 07:32

Couldn't agree more. Everyone I know with kids including mine can't wait {nm} tomcat90 May 31, 19:49

Well, yeah, most people actually liked Nemo. shadowking May 31, 19:53

agreed shadow. {nm} lobogotti May 31, 19:56

FNEMO is masterful film making. This sequel is completely unnecessary. And what can I say, I"m sure I'll probably watch it. goodvibe61 May 31, 21:26

they do need better balance, but hey, we got Inside out so its still kinda worth it {nm} Moviesnob May 31, 21:44

I loved FNEMO but I only made it thru about 30 min of Inside Out before I quit watching {nm} JDolphin May 31, 22:52

Different strokes! {nm} Moviesnob May 31, 22:56

that was dumb {nm} slipping jimmy May 31, 23:01

Why? If you're bored by a movie why should you keep watching it? {nm} JDolphin May 31, 23:45

Because you missed a lot of the depth and meat of the story. {nm} masonacj Jun 01, 07:09

couldn't agree more about the original. in my eyes, an instant classic. lobogotti Jun 01, 05:56

But Toy Story had 3 wildly different movie plots TwoMisfits Jun 01, 06:36

okay, so what is your expectation here? the film won't work? the film won't open well? the film won't have legs? {nm} lobogotti Jun 01, 06:40

Film will open big (but not record big) TwoMisfits Jun 01, 08:29

that's fair. so the current price or something bewtween $90-105M is what you're thinking? {nm} lobogotti Jun 01, 08:36

Probably to the higher end on the open TwoMisfits Jun 01, 08:52

but you don't think Pets will beat Dory in OW or final gross, right? {nm} lobogotti Jun 01, 10:41

I just looked at your Pick 5, so I see that you do. good luck, that's a bold pick. {nm} lobogotti Jun 01, 10:42

Thanks - I just was a fan of originals over sequels this summer TwoMisfits Jun 01, 13:52

Which is exactly what everyone thought about the first movie and it opened over $60 million... diamondman56 May 31, 20:20
