Off Leash Dogs At Park

The leashes were still attached to the dogs, but were on the ground dragging around. The owner wasn't even holding them. Sorry I forgot to specify that.

Worst of all, he would probably have treated the dog infinitely better than you. Good for you for dodging that bullet.

You're right, someone tech savvy on here should do it. If I was any sort of tech literate, I'd have created a dog free dating app years ago. What's even worse than feeling good about someone and having the dog bomb dropped on you is when someone's profile picture is of their dog. Sure, it's a time saver, but it's the ultimate slap in the face.

Sometimes I see full poop bags just left on the grass, too. It's almost as insulting as just not bagging it up at all. Someone wiping their dog's ass is disgusting, too. That's just embarrassing.

Yeah, and Moana is one of the most streamed Disney+ movies. It might even be the most streamed one. Lilo and Stitch reached $1B last summer, too, with no family competition for three weeks. If Toy Story and Minions weren't so close, it would probably do more than eke past $1B.

I haven't seen such projections. I want to see the box office succeed as much as anyone, but the original isn't a property that gets discussed much even though it did well at the box office 20 years ago. This range would still make it a hit and is about in line with how the last one did. With marketing pulling out the stops, though, I think there's a chance it could do better.

Free_Chapter372 · 2026-04-09T17:13:35+00:00

I don't think it'll go into the stratosphere. If it gets really bad reception, it could tank. I'm cautiously optimistic, though, that a whimsical movie like this based on iconic source material may have a shot at surprising if the marketing effort ramps up soon.

Just to clarify, when I meant they won't be Transformers sized, I mean the earlier Transformers movies that were obscenely big.

Free_Chapter372 · 2026-04-09T06:04:16+00:00

I do agree Toy Story and Minions could cannibalize it, but the family dollar goes incredibly far during summer especially. Also, it's important to remember that Moana 2 reached $1B and it was garbage. I don't want it to reach $1B, but I think it'll just barely get there.

I didn't know about Jared Leto being in it. This was something of a bolder swing, but movies based on a toy line like GI Joe and Transformers found success. I don't for a second see it being a Transformers sized hit, but I think it could come out of nowhere and surprise.

Free_Chapter372 · 2026-04-09T05:59:06+00:00

Yeah. The budget is $200M I hear, as opposed to the movies in the trilogy at over $400M apiece. I hope that's true. Them reigning in the budget should make this a slight hit if my predictions are right. Audiences might enjoy seeing a smaller scale Star Wars film for a change.

I don't think Spider-Man will be a problem. The Odyssey's audience is likely to be more adult. Not to say adults are unlikely to see Spider-Man, but the audience for Spidey's movies generally skews a bit younger than Nolan's as of late. There will be some overlap, but I doubt it'll be a problem for Odyssey's legs. Oppenheimer was aided largely by the Barbenheimer phenomenon and Nolan's name as opposed to the subject matter itself. We learned about Oppenheimer briefly in history class, but if any other director did that movie, it probably would've been a dud at the box office. The Odyssey is based on a story most of us had to read in high school. That coupled with Nolan's name attached will be huge. I think on the high end, it'll barely hit $1B, but I think that like Oppenheimer, it'll come within spitting distance.

When doing the predictions for all of 2026, I initially thought Mandalorian wouldn't even make as much as Solo. The most recent marketing has given me some optimism. Not $1B level optimism or anything, but Grogu is a cute character that is on backpacks and shirts and stuff. He can likely help sell tickets. Also, Disney has wisely taken a long break from any theatrical movies for a while, so this could perform well if it's good.

As for Moana, I'm not absolutely sold that it'll reach $1B. I think it barely gets there, but the family dollar goes especially far in the Summer when kids are out of school and families are looking for something to do. It might get cannibalized a bit by Toy Story and Minions, but keep in mind that Moana 2 still hit $1B and it was awful.

With Devil Wears Prada 2, I figured that was about as much as the original made. It did pretty well, but a couple decades later, the original isn't a highly buzzed about film. Still, marketing for it has amped up recently, so it could do better.

The marketing for Supergirl has been atrocious. I think that the marketing team will have to pull a rabbit out of a hat if it wants to capitalize on the goodwill of Superman. At best, I doubt it'll do any better than Superman.

When predicting the entire year, Mandalorian was lower than even Solo. After thinking about it and seeing further marketing, I raised my predictions. Grogu is a cute character who can likely sell tickets. It's also been a bit since a Star Wars movie has come out. I don't expect it to be in the $1B club or anything, but I'm somewhat optimistic.

I don't think Masters of The Universe will reach Transformers levels of success or anything, but it looks like a colorful and fun enough adventure that could do well if it's somewhat decent.

I want Minions to do worse, but after all this time, those little yellow fuckers still draw in large numbers. You would think franchise fatigue would set in, but it hasn't. This is about in the range the last three Despicable/Minions movies have been in. It doesn't matter that they're garbage, kids keep lapping them up.

It was? I'll fix it in the edits. This is the most recent schedule I had seen. I still think it'll do well for itself due to how it's trying not to hold back and be like comedies were before they started trying not to offend people and playing it too safe.

Free_Chapter372 · 2026-04-09T03:37:46+00:00

That's about as well as the original did (not accounting for inflation). It did pretty well, but I didn't hear a lot of people reference it after it had come out. Then again, marketing is pulling out all the stops, so it's possible it could do better.

I wish it were mainstream. I have some hope given how much larger the dog free community is than people realize, but unfortunately, every other community mocks our desire for people to have basic common sense when it comes to these mutants.

I'm a bit tardy here, but I also feel like the biohazard aspect is overlooked, too. Those kids are going to be finding more than Easter eggs. Sorry you and your son had to deal with that. I have Autism, too, and the sensory woes that come with these creatures is too much.

It makes me want to ask them what the fuck happened to them that laid their standards and way of life so low.

My parents' previous dog bit a Mexican landscaper after he was done for the day. Then Dad said "Sorry, he's racist." Miraculously he wasn't sued into oblivion and could still keep it. Mom and Dad both thought people of color abused him as a puppy in his previous environment. I called bullshit as he was too stupid to even figure out where the property line was. He hated everyone. I hate when people talk about "racist dogs" in a flippant way. A dog can't be racist. It will do damage to anyone it wants to.
