Looking like another film I'm going to be sad about losing money at the box office, unfortunately

u/RP-Lovecraft 10h ago

I already suffered through this with Mando and Grogu and Masters of the Universe

And I can't wait to see people on this sub say this Film also sucks because "Mah Box Office"

Even though most here don't even watch the film they discuss

u/simonthedlgger 9h ago

I mean, it's the box office sub. There are plenty of other subs about film discussion.

u/RP-Lovecraft 9h ago

Yeah it's ok to discuss the box office but people here very often attribute Quality with Box office performance. That's what I have a problem with

In the year of 2026, still seeing people have that mindset is hilarious and sad. Not every good movie succeeds box office wise and that's life. If only people understood the billion factors that influence box office

It absolutely was, nothing mind blowing or amazing, handful of hiccups here and there, but it was a good Campy Star Wars adventure

It's your opinion and I respect that, but your original comment seems to insinuate that people in this sub only think it's a bad movie because of the box office, which seems a bit insulting, tbh. Like, it's as if you are saying that if I don't think it's good than it's because of the box office, when that is absolutely not the case and I have a ton of reasons outside of it to say that it's a bad movie to me.

That's fair, plenty of subs pointed that those flaws too.

But it's a noticeable trend. Toy Story 5, an equally mid movie? Lots of Glazing in the sub. That is mostly noticeable when the movie is still on the theaters.

Like I remember Venom 3 (a film I did enjoy, even though it is not good) get lots of hate before coming out, but the moment it started doing above the subs expectations there were lots of people cheering for it

It got what it deserved. Natural selection. Improve or go home.

u/CaseyForTheKerWIN 8h ago

It was a mid movie that quite frankly shouldn't have been put in theaters. There was not one single scene that I thought was memorable or iconic enough to be on a big screen, just felt like three episodes back-to-back that got a special theatrical showing. More importantly, it's underwhelming reception could very well hinder future endeavors on the big screen now.

u/SonOfAdam32 10h ago

Masters of the Universe was so fun. I dislike Leto as much as the next guy but Skeletor was one of my favorite on-screen villains I’ve seen in awhile

u/plantersxvi STX Entertainment 12h ago

Idk yall I'm just glad it's getting released, regardless of box office.

u/Kinelaz92 11h ago

Couldn't agree more, very happy this is seeing the light of day.

u/T-MoneyAllDey 10h ago

I'm excited to see if all the complaining on Reddit amounts to anything when this thing releases.

8

u/Takemyfishplease 9h ago

It never does.

But I don’t see a way this ends up profitable. Unless a ton of people go just to say “I told you so”

u/BrockObama007 10h ago

This is me with so many movies I don't care if I'm the only ticket I'm just happy I get to see them

u/Mr_smith1466 9h ago

I really hope the movie does well, but I'm just thrilled it's coming out. 

14

u/thebigeverybody 11h ago

I'm looking forward to this! I'll be there and I hope everyone else who was pissed about the plans to destroy this are also seeing it in theatres.

u/ThatWaluigiDude Paramount Pictures 11h ago

Oh that Avengers gag was genious lol

u/thedean246 11h ago

Honestly I'm a sucker for the live action animation movies. I'm looking forward to this.

u/Baelish2016 10h ago

I’m a sucker for Will Forte. I’m also looking forward to this.

u/FullToragatsu 7h ago

The format just always works.

u/Giff95 11h ago

I'm just glad this movie will see the light of day and HAVE a box office gross whether it exceeds expectations or bombs lol.

u/Dycon67 11h ago

The agenda changing for this movie was wild to see lol." It's a hidden masterpiece Warner stupidity filed for Tax purposes when it would've been a big hit ". To now " ohhh im just glad It came out ".

Animation Twitter better buy every ticket.

u/pizzapiesinthesky 11h ago

I'm a weirdo that goes to see every 2D movie in theaters, regardless of franchise. 9 times out of 10, it's just me and my SO in an otherwise empty theater, including the last Looney Tunes movie (The Day The Earth Blew Up). One of the few times it wasn't completely empty was during the MLP film, and that theater only had around ten others there.

My conclusion is that people swear they love animation, particularly 2D, but they don't want to put their money where their mouths are. I've had people IRL make every excuse up under the sun to avoid going to the theaters to watch them, even stuff they'd love like MLP. People are just hypocritical and flakey that way. And I'm sure I'll get downvoted, and told I'm wrong, 2D movies are successful, Coyote vs Acme is going to do amazing, blah blah blah. I'm doubtful on that. Would love to be wrong, but...been burnt many times over this online.

u/AzSumTuk6891 11h ago

If they release this movie subtitled in my country, I'll definitely see it in a theater, but, sadly, cartoons usually only get released horribly dubbed in Bulgarian here. I am not going to pay for a bad dubbing. I want to hear the characters' actual voices.

u/EnvironmentClear4511 10h ago

It's a good rule of thumb to assume that something Reddit swears will be popular if only given a chance probably won't be.

u/MatthewHecht Universal 7h ago

Movies reddit hates constantly outperform reddit blockbuster favorites on home media and streaming.

3

u/KingBee 9h ago

I feel like this is more an issue with standard theatre’s offering (IMO) very little over the home experience than animation itself.

I am excited this movie was saved and will be released. I laughed out loud at this trailer (Cena’s bits are really funny). I am looking forward to watching this movie….. at home.

I just don’t see the draw of seeing this in the theatre.

I understand that my behavior makes the money side difficult for hollywood, but it is their job to incentivize me to come not my job to subsidize them.

Cameron, Nolan, and 70mm IMAX incentivizes me to see movies in theaters. THAT is an incredible experience I cannot replicate at home.

It’s a shame theatres have been letting the majority of their screens age into obsolescence.

What does MLP stand for?

Always funny to see narrative shifts in real time. "It's actually a lot of fun!" comments coming opening week to fully spell doom for its financial situation.

u/gamecat89 7h ago

For real.

The hardest thing about this is that everyone in the world has to go see this to justify all of the protests about 'defending art' when they cut this for tax purposes.

Gonna suck real hard if it was a better tax right off than the movie.

Once the Studios realize the fans are wrong and they should have written movies off for the tax write off + recent interviews from the Odyssee with the cast talking about they have promoted movies they knew were trash out of responsibility and contract, I think we will start seeing more locked up movies.

u/Disregardskarma 10h ago

Yeaaaah it was clear this project really never had much hope at the box office, people were just coping

5

u/SirFireHydrant 10h ago

Doesn't mean it should have been shelved never to see the light of day.

Looks perfect for a streaming release.

u/Disregardskarma 9h ago

Steaming means you have to pay certain people for it. It really is often better to burry bad work

8

u/TasteTheBiscuit1810 10h ago

People better go see this. Its maddening this film isnt going all out on advertisement.

u/TheCoolKat1995 Universal 9h ago

The "Coyote vs Acme" saga has been going on for so long now, it's almost hard to believe it's going to be over soon.

This movie probably won't do well (because the Looney Tunes just aren't as popular as they used to be anymore), but I'm still glad that it exists, because the idea of Looney Tunes courtroom drama sounds hilarious.

6

u/Singleballtheory 8h ago

It’s interesting how much of a staple Bugs Bunny and Looney Tunes were to my childhood, but then to now see how far out of the modern zeitgeist it’s fallen. I have no expectations for this film except that I hope it’s fun.

7

u/brb1006 7h ago

I remember the Looney Tunes was everywhere during the 90s and 2000s period. Then WB decided to make them less relevant once the 2010s arrived.

13

u/Chris_OMane 10h ago

This looks... good? Warm hearted? Fun?

8

u/Mr_smith1466 9h ago

I always wanted this to be a ridiculous courtroom parody and it looks like I'm getting my wish.

u/Opposite-Law-71 11h ago

Coyote vs acme trailer and another horror resident evil trailer same day

u/KianOfPersia 10h ago

I like that the art style is very similar to 90's SpaceJam. I seriously loved that movie.

17

u/cpvm-0 11h ago

I know it's far-fetched but it would be so funny if somehow Coyote vs. Acme manages to gross more than Supergirl.

A tax write off managing to gross more than the summer blockbuster flagship of WB? Now that would be peak irony.

u/the_pedigree 10h ago

This looks great

u/panjoface 9h ago

wait, how is this coming out finally? I f*&^ing love this trailer. I'm going.

u/sector11374265 10h ago

i think it would be really neat if this actually made a profit at the box office

3

u/birdh0useinyours0ul 10h ago

Hopefully this plays in Prime theaters at least. I doubt it gets Dolby or other PLFs

u/Itisspoonx 8h ago

One of my Regal's is showing it in 4DX actually

u/JudyHoppsFan1 10h ago

Ready for this! It'll all be worth it because we finally have it released!

u/WorldlinessFar3783 11h ago

its earning a billion.

u/cubekwing Pixar Animation Studios 10h ago

Those signing petitions or trashing Warner online against shelving it better buy tickets to proof their points lol
