Disney, CinemaCon - updates PVL Admin Mar 29, 22:56

Cars 2 bombed BIG TIME at CinemaCon... I think there was one laugh during the 20 minutes shown... this is PIXAR we're talking about. secretstalker Mar 29, 22:59

Maybe it wasn't meant to be a funny twenty. Could you decipher an attempt at humor and it just failed?or were there no lines? {nm} PVL Admin Mar 29, 23:30

it's Pixar. it's not Merchant Ivory. Any twenty minutes of a Cars movie should be a laugh a minute {nm} mickpix Mar 29, 23:43

Pixar isn't pure comedy, Wall-E had very few laughs, Up had long serious stretches... {nm} lapuckfan Mar 30, 07:12

I've thought about this for a while now, and feel that I must respectfully disagree. Rocket123YTD Mar 30, 15:01

Yeah, totally agree... ;) JK {nm} PVL Admin Mar 30, 15:05

Yes, well, there's a good chance that maybe Cars is a concept that works better in 5 to 10 minute increments. {nm} secretstalker Mar 30, 06:12

I don't recall Cars being a comedy. {nm} AgentEvil Mar 30, 05:13

Were there kids in the audience? The first one wasn't that well received by adults either, but kids gobbled it up. {nm} BionicMoron Mar 30, 05:18

Cars made $244M Domestic, $218M Foreign, $245M in DVD Sales...to do anything less would be quite a blow for Pixar lobogotti Mar 30, 06:30

True, but it's the OW that matters right now. How much higher than 60 can we expect it's growth? 80? 100? {nm} PVL Admin Mar 30, 10:32

Toy Story 1-2-3 went 29-57-110, or close to doubling with each sequel. BionicMoron Mar 30, 10:38

I agree, Cars is not Toy Story. So, a 30% increase is not over-reaching? {nm} PVL Admin Mar 30, 10:59

I seem to remember the first CARS (the full thing) going through similar long stretches of silence back at ShoWest. {nm} notfabio Mar 30, 07:11

gee thanks - wonder which way you're holding the stock? {nm} click999 Mar 30, 08:51

and how much did Cars actually open to ,,, IMO overvalued {nm} bunty_ketti Mar 30, 01:12

OW= 60.1; Total Domestic = $ 244.1 Domestic PVL Admin Mar 30, 01:21

IMHO Cars2 will be the first critical and box office dissapoinment for PIXAR, when you make a decision based on gogreen Mar 30, 11:12

I seem to recall people saying that CARS would be Pixar's first box office dissapointment as well. {nm} Hooray360 Mar 30, 11:36

I doubt it'll be a financial flop, but it certainly isn't looking like an awards contender {nm} tribefan695 Mar 30, 12:13

Muppets kinda flopped too LariatSam Mar 30, 15:56

Muppets weren't big film grossers to begin with. {nm} Antibody Mar 30, 16:08
