I'm not insulted. But you were insulting. There is a difference.

I don't give a shit what you do for a living. I'm certainly not going to change my opinion of the movie because some big-time hollywood guy didn't like it. I'm also not going to change my opinion of the movie because the box office numbers weren't as big as Ep 8.

You think the movie was a success because you liked it, plain and simple. Disney did not expect the box office to drop off $700 million, nor did they expect the movie to be so polarizing among fans. You're too busy defending your "opinion" to understand what I and others have said about the issues this film's performance has caused. |

Coco on the other hand SHOULD win because it's 100 times better than The Boss Baby. |

I just did that last night for my 4th viewing. Figure it won't be around much longer. There were 3 other people in the theater for the late show at 10:25. This will be one I watch over and over again when it hits Blu Ray.

Spoiler!
I agree that Coco was a superior effort all around but that's not a slight on The Boss Baby. To me, Coco was on the level of Kubo And The Two Strings, which is my favorite animated film of the past few years and it might be even better. I'm looking forward to seeing it again once it's available on VUDU. |

IT'S AN INTERNET DISCUSSION BOARD! People point out what they didn't like, if I disagree I tell them why I disagree... they do the same based on what I liked and didn't like. That's what these things are for. Maybe you should make a new thread for just you and Ringleader to talk about what a disaster this movie is for Disney and those who are interested can lurk in there - because they certainly wouldn't be qualified to post - heaven forbid.

Kubo’s Box Office Performance Hides Bigger Troubles September 2nd, 2016 Charles Kenny Coming from a studio with an established track record in making uniquely crafted stop-motion films, and with a story this is much more interesting than most of the other summer fare, Kubo and the Two Strings ought to be a home run of a film. Its failure to become a smash hit however hides bigger troubles with audiences in general. Laika’s previous films were always popular additions to the annual box office in a sea of CGI films and sequels. Kubo is their most ambitious to date in both a technical and storywise sense and despite the associated risk, critics and audiences alike who saw it, tend to agree that it’s one of the year’s best. So why have audiences in general failed to show up? There is nothing inherently wrong with Laika’s release strategy despite a noticeable lack of merchandise or marketing tie-ins (Burger King Kid’s Meal toys excepted). The film itself is basically sound, and it’s target audience is barely back in school yet. Rather, Kubo’s uniqueness may be its undoing. Aside from being stop-motion in composition and having a more mystical style of storytelling, the film’s attempts to stand out may not be what audiences are actually looking for. We hear about how audiences want something new and unique all the time, but the reality is that they almost never want something truly new and truly unique. Full article

It's not concerning success but knowledge of the transmaterial of The Force to compare to sports it's like Tom Brady being able to run an NFL offense with HOF proficiency against an Elite Defense straight out of high school or the 1980 The American Gold Medal Hockey Team beating THE USSR Hockey Team with no practice. Rian Johnson fostered Rey with no direction with no internal pitfalls that would lay waste her morality or drive to be great. The only thing we got was you came from nowhere and her eyes welled up

I saw this same sort of thing with the DC movies, here in this forum. It's an interesting dynamic, but it really doesn't help people to get an honest take on the movies. |
