/co/pers.... why did our hate campaign against Hexed fail?
>on trackUh huh.
>>156247442You can never tell for sure what will be popular. Why tf do people love Inside Out so much?
I don't believe in astrologyalso Disney should cancel the airing of this movie because they'll be mogged by Dreamworks for like the 10th time
>>156247515I mean it's basically the second coming of TOH but with the backing of being a theatrical film, it wouldn't be that surprising if it blows the fuck up even with less than stellar marketing.
>>156247442Ever = This decade?
>>156247442Didn't it have horrible testing though?
>>156247515Cute marketable direct to plush toy mascots, a simple story about a happy girl and a sad girl working together, almost zero wokeslop (the mom thinks the dad is useless and dreams about getting blacked)
>>156247442>doubt.jpgThere is zero interest or hype for this movie outside of Disney bots on social media.
making the most generic slop possible appeals to the widest audience possible.The most niche and passion-led a project is, the narrower it's audience. After WISH I just don't see disney bothering to make anything that isn't generic slop anymore. Go elsewhere for animated movies that aren't shit.
>>156248069You didn't learn your lesson
>>156248438Quickly, without looking it up, who is the director of Hexed?
>>156247442REALITY CHECK!>the first 'projection' of $70m opening weekend was made by Box Office Pro, who are notoriously shit at projections since their head analyst left a couple years back; they recently whiffed on their Cat in the Hat prediction by like 20 million dollars, you should ignore them>this new, revised lower, projection is from Deadline and they are predicting a range of $40m to $50m three weeks out, which is the same range they predicted for Wish three weeks out before it crashed and burned.>the prediction is for the 5-day total, not the 3-day total, which would be abysmal if it hit the lower $40m end, lower than shit like The Good Dinosaur.>this film is likely to have an insane budget because they basically made it twice.>'highest Disney original this decade' is a meaningless tautology because they have largely put out sequels since 2020 and all their originals (Wish, Strange World, Raya) have been catastrophic failures. The only semi-respectable performer was Encanto which was still seen as a disappointment at the time.>'tracking' for animated films is irrelevant at the best of times anyway, as they are heavily reliant on family walkups and word of mouth not being shit like it was for Wish.>animation Twitter seizes upon these headlines for rage bait and clicks without knowledge of any of this context.>the reality is pre-sales have been slow and media/advertising weight is low. Many suspect Disney is not spending on marketing or merchandise because they are already deep in the red on production and are just looking to dump it.So no, don't listen to anyone that tries to crow about this being "a good thing."
>>156248453NTA but an asian chick with a bad track record
>>156248453It's the Wish bitch. Again.
>>156248503I meant that question rhetorically to point out that Nolan had enough star power as a director to carry a film for what's otherwise a role that normies don't know, but actually giving the right answer is just as damning.
>>156247442This could have been a neat movie if the MC wasn't a mary sue quirky chungus.
>>156248052Yes, numerous sources stated that it started in absolutely dire territory earlier this year, like 'worse than Wish or Elio' levels of bad, then through rigorous testing and crunch over the summer they have managed to drag it up to like a passable 6/10, which is what it will probably hit on RT (and explains why they are sending it out with a shrug, they know it isn't worth a big push).
>>156247442>original movie>this decadeThat's a lot of qualifiers.This decade began on 2021, so we're only comparing this movie to:Raya and the Last DragonEncantoStrange WorldWishOf these 4, Raya and Encanto were released during the covid shutdown. Strange World and Wish were historic flops.
>>156248493>they recently whiffed on their Cat in the Hat prediction by like 20 million dollarsWas thinking about this last week when that "CITH is set to bomb this weekend" like they're magic or some shitHow can you predict a movie is or isn't going to bomb before it's out? What's their methodology?
>>156247442>headline written in a way it makes it looks like something great when it's actually just mediocre at best Lmao, fuck off.
She has such an androgynous body, but that face screams that she's going to become when she turns 18.
>>156247788Maybe without adjusting for inflation?
>>156247442Is this trustworthy?Are the tracking records always correct or something?
>>156247442>EVERStupid bot
>>156248438Nobody except /tv/fags ever believed Odyssey would be a massive flop.Nobody except Disney shills believes Hexed will be a massive hit.I'm sure it'll have no trouble making a profit, anything with Disney on the cover does, but everyone claiming this is gonna be the next Frozen is delusional or paid.
>>156248678No. It's literally just the new thing studios use to build hype for actual sales.>Did you hear? Cats With Guns III: Pussy Galore comes out next week.>>Eh, count me out, the original and second film were both garbage.>But haven't you heard? It's on track to have the highest opening weekend for a sequel to a cat-themed action movie this decade.>>What? Oh shit. I don't know what that means but it makes it sound like there's a lot of hype for this movie to be good. I better get a ticket before they're all sold out for this incredible film.
>>156248624Talking out of my ass, but if I had to guess, a firm would gather market opinion by surveying public interest in the movie, public interest in movies in general, and then using that sample size to approximate the total population.
>>156247442Grok, quantify this in proportion to ticket prices and US population throughout all movie releases and give an accurate estimate in proportion to population and ticket price.
>>156247442>this decadeIm not even trying to meme or anythingWhat else has disney tried to do as an original ip this decadeWish? Raya? Was it just those two things since 2020I genuinely cant recall anything they made in the last 6 years that wasnt a sequel/prequel/reboot or a spinoffAnd even the two i listed im only pretty sure Wish was in the laste few years
>>156248914Encanto has been the only non-sequel thing they have made since 2020 that has had any impact or staying power whatsoever.
>>156247515Because they are idiots. Fucking movie keeps explaining its internal rules 15 minutes before it ends.
>>156247442>this decadenot exactly a lot of stiff competition
Its a movie aimed at girls and its about school and witchcraft. Of course its going to have lot of views. Instead of trannies and faggots Disney goes back to making movies for girls again.
>>156249119Serious question, why does so much female-centric media specifically deal with school
>>156249130Easily identifiable social dynamics.
>>156248751Yeah but who's polling people about Cat in the Hat
>>156249223I don't know, probably some market research company on a coastal city I won't ever visit.
>>156247442wasn't clayface "on track" to be huge to? feel like these news stories are just nested ads
>>156247769>I mean it's basically the second coming of TOH but with the backing of being a theatrical filmyou're saying those like they're positives, the TOH and the theatrical stuff both underperformed at best. Though I think TOH as a property will be saved in the long run since it's fans strike me as big collectors.
>>156247442>this decade>It'll be the highest grossing disney movie released in November 2026
>>156247442Cool movieCan't wait for Despot of Antrim/Critical Drinker/Reaper to review it
>>156248545Apparently that appeals to Gen alphas, which is why the movie may turn a profit.
>>156248700>Nobody except /tv/fags ever believed Odyssey would be a massive flop.This. No one's watching Nolan films for the actual movie, but because his name is on the poster.The guy could smear shit on the theater screen, and people would pay to watch.
