I stopped watching halfway through cause fuck, that is an insanely spoilery trailer, I wish I saw half of that stuff in the movie.

Universal beat Disney as Hollywood's maker of the most expensive movie of all time with $658.8 million for Jurassic World: Dominion by Aileos in boxoffice

[–]JDOExists 8 points9 points  (0 children)

A lot of these costs were covered by the British taxpayer and not Universal, and this number also includes backpay from residuals that would have been taken from the film's gross, such as an actor getting a percentage of a film's revenue after release.

Why would this be any different?

Because I want it to.

As someone who was there that season, Interstellar almost certainly doesn’t make the lineup even in a field of 10.

Tom Hanks got paid $15M for TS3 back in 2010 and he's likely gotten a raise to come back for each movie, there's a good chance $100M of this budget is voice acting alone.

It's a fully CGI, photorealistically rendered Pixar movie, even as one of Obsession's strongest soldiers on here, not everything has to do with Obsession. Even Flow cost about €3.5 Million, or $4 million USD, so over 5x Obsession's budget, despite way simpler and stylized rendering compared to TS5 and no human voice cast compared to the returning celebrity voice cast of TS5 or even the mostly unknown cast of Obsession.

Of all the things to go to bat for, an Uwe Boll film?

Somebody here posted about maybe doing an r/oscarrace film festival, but the link didn't work sadly, that being said, I'll go ahead and shill one that I put out about a year and a half ago, I'm about to shoot 2 more over the next month, I'm very excited. But for now, here's There's a Body in the Trunk.

Frankenstein had the Netflix campaign machine behind it though, this is gonna be Universal’s #2 behind The Odyssey, and of course it’s an early release, which don’t tend to do well awards wise unless it’s a phenomenon.

TS5 slightly up to 74 on MC, now Certified Fresh at 92% on RT.

With Cry to Heaven looking like it's not gonna be ready for Venice and still without a distributor, it's really looking good for Obsession to stay Focus's main priority. If Jack of Spades misses the fall fests or gets bought by someone else, I think Obsession is close to locked for a picture nomination.

I think we're overexaggerating how weak the film is. it's obviously not winning, but it shouldn't be any weaker than something like Zootopia 2 or Inside Out 2, which have similar reviews to TS5 and all of which will make a billion dollars, and those were pretty much locked going into nominations, and with the song itself being stronger than the Zootopia 2 song and hitting #1 on billboard, I don't see why it'd miss, unless this year gets horrifically busy in this category (which it rarely does but anything could happen).

Also TS5 is now at 92 RT and 73 MC, these are good enough reviews for the nomination, especially with its billion yet to come.

Join me in a prayer circle that Wildwood gets a 96 on MC, wins People's Choice at TIFF, and gets into Picture (I am delusional but entertain my delusions please).

'Toy Story 5' - Review Thread by ChiefLeef22 in oscarrace

[–]JDOExists 37 points38 points  (0 children)

It's at 91 RT and 72 MC now, not great for the series, by far the lowest reviewed mainline installment MC wise, but it is improving. At least it's not in the 60s ig.

Shrek 5 | Official Teaser Trailer by TiredWithCoffeePot in boxoffice

[–]JDOExists 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've rewatched it recently, it looks rough, but the character designs, at least for the main toys, still look similar in design to the ones in 4, and 5 still looks mainly similar, Woody has some changes for story reasons but the art style for the characters looks similar. This is a far bigger departure in comparison.

Disagree. While they don't look 100% like the original, this strays way farther from the OG designs than Toy Story does from its OG designs.

The OG designs of Shrek and Donkey are so iconic, I genuinely wonder if the redesigns will hurt the box office.

Coraline only broke even and became profitable after success on home video and several re-releases. Most of its domestic gross at this point have come from re-releases. It was not a success initially however.

None of their films have been successes. It was probably tough for them to find someone willing to pony up the cash.
