In other news, how badly do you all think the new Ghostbusters is going to bomb?

The movie comes out in 9 days.

The reviews are still embargoed.

Do. The. Math.

Not to mention all those plot leaks have been proven correct by trailers and tie-in novels, which means that the stories of the production being an absolute nightmare are also probably true

I'm going with a bomb similar to that of the Operation Ivy tests. (Nuclear bomb tests in the South Pacific, not the punk band)

They have some really funny comediennes in the film, I'm amazed they could screw this up so bad.

And you're saying this in the thread that bashes almost every move Disney makes, often before things get officially announced.

The Sony hack leaks just kept showing how badly run that studio is and how dumb Hollywood is. Threatening legal action against Bill Murray to get him in the new Ghostbusters, Merging the two Spider-Man movie universes into one with a fourth Toby Macguire movie and a movie where Toby and Andrew Garfield fight each other that Pascal was sure would make two billion dollars and slides like this little treasure

Sausage Party's just gonna be another embarassment for Sony

But we didn't even see the full animation for the film besides the trailers.

Just when I think I was out they pull me back in....So 1) I never said Sony or Hollywood is or isn't dumb. I don't work for either so I dont know for sure however I do know that the movie industry last yeat made over $11 billion so they are doing something right. Right? 2) Sony is releasing a MIB/21 Jump Street crossover so maybe I just proved your point about Sony being dumb?? 3) Whether people bash unreleased movies on this site all the time is irrelevant....doing it is inane. Just like it is when people bash unopened attractions. Ride it or see it and then form an opinion..otherwise keep it closed. And finally, 4) As Seth Rogen's movies have grossed an average of $88 million overall I'd say that Sausage Party has a good chance of doing better than you think. Will it be stupid and juvenille...I hope so!! Will it be an embarrassment...not if it makes it money back.

The only Sony animated film I'm looking forward to seeing is "The Smurfs: The Lost Village" and after following the directors blog for 3 years now. It already sounds decent since this is the CGi Smurfs movie we been waiting since 2008 before taking the Live-Action route.

James Rolf said it best in his video "No Review I refuse" on the upcoming Ghostbusters film.

 

[brb1006]

this has to be a joke right?

It actually sounds decent, they will be more faithful to the Belgian comics series that the series originated from.

The issue I have is its a reboot, not a sequel. What the what?

Yet the original actors are in it. Using women was a clever twist, but why cant it be a continuation of the story?

How old is Zemeckis? The BTTF reboot will be in production before the funeral

Don't know where else to post this, but any ideas of when the refurb schedule for the first half of 2017 will come out?

Ivy Mike perhaps...

Closer to the start of FY17. Probably October-ish.

 

[Thanks phoenicians]

Speaking of refurbs is BTMR getting the special effects from DLP and DL? I thought it was but hadn't hard much on the subject

With a 30% decline I expect no refurbs will take place to make OPEX shiny

 

[Crazydisneyfanluke]

Hopefully we get some DL refurbs for WDW 50th.

I know the movie looks terrible, I was just asking how everyone thinks it's going to do at the box office.

Expectations are likely low. Secret Life of Pets and Dory will likely dominate it on its first weekend, if I had to guess.
