Disney (and others) at the Box Office - Current State of Affairs

[Baloo124]

I'm worried for Hexed! There hasn;t been a second trailer yet! Please don;t make it a flop or it's sequels forever!

The only thing I can see being a threat to this projects success is the (unlikely) burnout of this type of oversaturated storyline... teen goes to school and learns magic. (Potter, Waverly Place, Coven Academy, Wednesday...etc etc)

It feels a little "been there, done that" to me, but the studio obviously knows what it's doing or else this wouldn't be a project.

Just curious with the fan community which among these two classics is the Halloween season must-watch:
-Hocus Pocus
-Nightmare Before Christmas

I like them both, but I'd have to say NBC if I could only pick one.

Looks like another well reviewed original animated film will fail to make a big splash at the Box Office. Dreamworks’ Forgotten Island debuts with $20M worldwide.

Fortunately the budget is a low $80M thanks to outsourcing animation.

Not many takers on this? I should've figured these films wouldn't be well known in this subforum. Neither have heavy repetition in their stories, and both are sensory overloads at times.

Both are very well known by the Disney fandom. But because neither are currently playing at the box office right now, neither have anything to do with this thread.

So maybe start a separate thread for this question, maybe with a poll, and you’ll get responses.

Forgotten Island isn't faring well in its 2nd weekend either, predicted to drop around 50% for a $23 million 10-day total

Digger will go down as one of the biggest flops of all time

Also I'm beginning to wonder if it's ruining the best scares in these creepy trailers.

Other Mommy... I was really looking forward to this one, but sadly my hunch was right. Gosh this was bad. The trailers were better than the movie. Save your money, folks.

Yeah I figured this one wasn't going to be good, which is why I skipped it, and audiences seem to agree giving it the lowest rating in the last couple years -
