yep. general audiences did not like the film as much as they did Luca or Soul.

I guess we'll see, but I have my doubts that any one movie can bring life back to the studio. Soul was good (so was Luca, apparently, although I haven't seen it) but it was directlly succeeded by films like Turning Red and Lightyear.

are you done? a simple "you're wrong" would suffice, seeing as I'm a complete layman who doesn't keep up with the actual marketing specifics of films like this. I'm not seeing any of them, so why bother.? personally it feels like I've seen a good deal of marketing for the film. anecdotally, I...

thanks; about what I thought fwiw. call me crazy, but I never expected this film to do all that well? I mean I didn't expect it to do THIS poorly, like on the verge of losing money poorly, but I would have been a little surprised if it cracked a billion. Consumer fatigue with Disney's...

I don't know really what you mean— it feels like I've seen a good amount of marketing for it personally, at least compared to other recent Pixar films. Outside Lightyear maybe...but we know how that went

Designing competent theme parks.

I'm glad you're looking forward to it my friend. Is DHS your favorite park?

I agree with this, but they want to have their cake and eat it too, respectfully. On one hand they want to hold on to the brand power of popular IPs and established characters... but on the other hand they want new stories/characters that are more modern and reflective of today's society.... so...

I don't know what it is (well I do actually but that's neither here nor there) but everything Disney does with "IP" in their parks these days is just SO tacky and cheap and corporate looking. Like it's an advertisement/commercial above anything else. It all just looks so gaudy and tasteless.

I see yeah it's not doing well at all. I just wanted gauge how much validity there was to the, "it's popular in the states" claim. But financially the film can really only be considered a failure

all this is very fair and I do agree. If we see parks investment soon I don't think it will be at the studios. and certainly it won't be Indy. Current philosophy seems to be DHS "got their share" and for better or worse that park just is what it is. That said I do think we see TWDC invest more...

I see, so overall looks to be slightly lower than Aladdin domestically. Fair enough

lol, honestly I'm not being facetious, is it doing well? on par with the other remakes?

haven't kept up with this thread— exactly how well is this film doing? did it keep up domestically or did it trail off?

$18 is steep. I think I saw GOTG for like $7+ a ticket

I get movie tickets for like $10... and I get my snacks at walmart 😎👍

Agreed. POTC got big because it was quality (almost like that's the main reason art gets popular) and because it had Depp (more well known name than POTC really....THAT was 80% of the brand power here). it's not indicative of much strength in the ride as an IP, beyond the fact that Disney was...

that's true, but POTC gained popularity over decades of guests going to the parks and building memories. that kind of thing inherently takes a long time. it's just the nature of the parks as a business, they deal with longer time frames. So I doubt a new parks attraction would be an effective...

the issue probably lies in their interpretation and application of data, not in the data itself being overly skewed, although that is just my opinion.

I find it very doubtful that a theme park attraction would significantly increase the relevance (which I use here to indicate 'contemporary marketing appeal) of an IP. It wouldn't for Indy and it won't for TRON. theme park rides get very little exposure from the broader public and aren't...
