[Sirwalterraleigh]

I am so excited!

Gonna be YUGE

I think stitch will get the 400 million range final domestic but I think HTTYD next week is going to steal a lot of family attention from it for it to get to past Moana 2 levels.

Agreed…I think it needed to be north of $750 right now to get to the B

As someone who has never seen the musical and is still working on the book the music in this one sounds better than the music in the last one. And that’s saying something.

The musical is fantastic…my wife and daughter just saw it again a couple of weeks ago

I think the consensus is that the first half of the stage show is musically stronger, so it'll be interesting to see how the film ends up being received. I agree it looks promising!

…but yes…first half is definitely the highlight…they have a bit of needle to thread with the second movie. Has to be authentic but not a complete bummer

Still early, but is MI a disappointment so far?

Oh yeah

It was pretty much dead in the water when it opened due to its $400M budget, but it had looked like it could salvage its way to be respectable after its opening. However at this point its going to be hard for it to get to $500M WW. Father's Day weekend will be the real test in my opinion to see if it'll make any gains at the box office, but not looking good so far.

Stitch will cross $300M domestically today

Splitting hairs, but I have T-Bolts as still getting to around $395m WW, but it's entirely possible that it will lose theaters faster than I think due to summer competition and slip into the range listed in that tweet. $400m definitely seems out now, as its lower theater count has forced it to slip off of the pace of Cap 4's long tail.

Also, did we know that images can be resized on this forum?

To be fair, it's difficult to tell on your phone what size they'll end up being on a laptop/desktop.

I'm sure that's true. Even on a real computer, I'm often surprised by what size images default to here when I first paste them into a post.

It's more of a prod to go back and edit things that look ridiculous after you've pushed post. Unless the in-your-face-ness of the size is part of the point, in which case...

I do everything on my phone, so I just post with a hope that I’ll look normal to people on their chosen device

In this case I think its more a feature than a bug, ie it was done with intent....

Well that's annoying.

But those who only ever access the site from their phone have no real way of knowing unfortunately. That's often the case for me when I'm travelling, in which case, like @Disney Analyst, I usually just hope for the best!

I think you guys are being a bit unfair. If he posted it from his phone, this is probably what came out as the default size. It's happened to me more than once.

Its possible.... However its an image though, assuming its a screenshot using snippet or another tool based on the fact there are no borders and such that would indicate a normal pic from a phone. So that makes it seem like it was a screen grab from a desktop rather than a phone, or at the very least was edited on the phone directly before uploaded. So it seems its more intentional than unintentional, especially given who posted it.

But yes you are correct it could be just the default size.

I’ve only ever accessed this on my phone. But thanks though.

 

[Tha Realest]

Here’s another one - hope this shakes out better!

I did a screen cap and posted from my phone.
