RS: [WRWAY] $5 million

Posted by: secretstalker (a.k.a TheWeekendWarrior) on Nov 28, 14:27

[NARN3] mid 40s

[TOURI] low-to-mid 30s

[HDYKN] low teens

[TRON2] low-to-mid 30s (still)

[YOGIB] also low-to-mid 30s but higher than TRON2... really?

RS: [WRWAY] $5 million secretstalker Nov 28, 14:27

I wouldn't be surprised to see YOGIB open to half that, and not because it looks terrible. Rolling_Thunder Nov 28, 14:37

I just saw the trailer in theaters and yeah, it looks bad... but kids seem to love that kind of stuff. secretstalker Nov 28, 14:53

the yogi trailers look alternately trainwrecky and hilarious. "but yogi, we never practiced the razzle dazzle" slays me {nm} islander Nov 28, 14:55

As an FYI, YOGIB is currently posting 16% negative buzz on Twitter, which means a lot of users are bashing the heck out of it. Rolling_Thunder Nov 28, 15:32

I'd expect that the primary audience for the movie is too young to be on Twitter. secretstalker Nov 28, 17:29

Haha, true. If parents are trashing the film, the kids will need a hard sell for them to open their wallets! {nm} Rolling_Thunder Nov 28, 17:35

Having spent the last day with my sister and two young nephews... secretstalker Nov 28, 17:36

Thank you very much :) {nm} Oleg Max Nov 28, 14:40

YB is waaay to high. {nm} Port Value League Admin Nov 28, 14:47

why? flinstones opened to $30M way back in '94, Scooby Doo to 54, and both alvins in the 40's, and Yogi is every bit as beloved as those. {nm} islander Nov 28, 14:52

YB is no where near as beloved as Scooby Doo and/or Alvins. Flintstones...can't argue with you there. {nm} Port Value League Admin Nov 28, 14:58

if you have any older (say 40+) coworkers or relatives, ask them how beloved yogi is to them. very beloved. (my mom near 60 loves him) {nm} islander Nov 28, 15:04

i love the old yogi cartoons. this looks like the total suck and i would never pay to see it {nm} mickpix Nov 28, 15:10

regardless, it's clear that they are targeting the family market and not 40somethings who grew up on the cartoon originally {nm} mickpix Nov 28, 15:20

The 40+ crowd doesn't exactly flood the theaters opening weekend. shadowking Nov 28, 15:21

granted I have no idea, but was anyone watching the flintstones or the chipmunks? sneak Nov 28, 15:28

Their parents did when they were kids. Yogi is more of a grandparents thing. shadowking Nov 28, 17:41

if RS is going with mid 30's, commercials must be selling somebody on something! {nm} islander Nov 28, 15:44

Or RS is just really bad at interpreting the data, especially during the lower opening, long long legs season we are about to enter. {nm} shadowking Nov 28, 17:43

OK, so is that the demographic for YB? I thought they were aiming it toward kids. as far as kids go, I do not see them flocking to YB as he Port Value League Admin Nov 28, 15:29

Bedrock is an interesting universe; Jellystone Park isn't. ALVIN has the tremendous advantage of helium-soaked voices. {nm} second gary Nov 28, 15:26

Thanks for the updates ! {nm} joeoftexas Nov 28, 18:48

Don't worry, Tron Legacy will pick up right before it's released. No chance of less than $50M opening. {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Nov 28, 18:56

Well... except... the art design, AFAICT, makes it difficult to resolve the images. If "Speed Racer" can open to less than $50, I don't... second gary Nov 28, 19:58

Remind me again how wrong RS was with Tangled? {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Nov 29, 00:10

Tracking right or wrong is one matter, but... the TRON2 images look... wrong. Even the still photograph in the moviefone piece... second gary Nov 29, 06:38

I can't really see the problem with the images. They look cool to me. Maybe it's your age catching up with you? ;) {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Nov 29, 18:14
