HTTYD is definitely not a comedy. It's a thematically packed kids thriller/drama with some comedy moments. |
I am honestly mystified. Every review and every article about Clash clearly tells people what WB did to bilk the movie goer out of more money, and yet, people lined up in droves to be taken. Every time we wonder why such bad ideas get green lit, we can think of this clear example of why production execs will continue to do crap like this.
Disclaimer: I have a vested interest in HTTYD doing well, and bad 3d like Clash sinking like a rock, so my anger is definitely biased, but really What the hell is wrong with people?? |

Yea, ive often wondered this myself.... Only thing i can think of is that the majority of people who saw this: most likely males aged 13-25 dont read reviews/dont care/dont understand whats good 3D or bad 3D. They just want something to do on a Fri/Sat night. |

I loved Kung Fu Panda, and plan on seeing the sequel, but How to Train Your Dragon was better than Kung Fu Panda. All I know is that its nice to see someone challenging Disney Pixar. I dont think that HTTYD was marketed well in all honesty, I watch TV alot and I don't remember even seeing 5 commercials on TV in the months before the movie was released. I tell people that this movie was insanely good and they all say the same thing, "Really?" Yes Really!

I honestly think this is one of very, very few challengers to Pixar's dominance. The only sad thing is that it couldn't go head to head with a Pixar original. That's why I think it wins Best Animated at next year's oscars. |

I thought their promos during the Olympics were clever, but it seems like that's been their only major marketing push.

http://www.boxofficeguru.com/weekend.htm The big story this weekend came in third place where the 3D animated film How To Train Your Dragon witnessed a remarkably low 13% decline in its third round for an estimated $25.4M gross boosting the 17-day total to a terrific $133.9M. Short-sighted film industry watchers and impatient Wall Street investors prematurely dismissed Dragon and DreamWorks Animation after its less-than-stellar opening weekend two weeks ago. The company's stock dropped 8% on the first trading day after the debut with analysts lowering their estimates for the final domestic take to just $152M. Dragon will now crush that mark next weekend and looks on course to break the $200M barrier too becoming the second biggest 3D toon of all-time behind just the $293M of Up. Beating Pixar's Oscar winner may not be possible, but outgrossing other competitors like Monsters vs. Aliens, Ice Age 3, and Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs makes Dragon a powerful performer. The PG-rated film was indeed slow out of the gate, but amazing word-of-mouth coupled with school holidays for spring have made Dragon the must-see film for kids and parents. Competition for families and 3D screens remains extremely light for the next five weeks so the Viking pic's strong run should continue. Reaching $250M cannot be ruled out at this point given the road ahead since Dragon will be able to earn at least five times its opening figure, if not more. |
up was fantastic. i want to see this one now
