Originally Posted By planodisney Not everyone is going to like ANYTHING Jim. I don't get the success of Avatar. Never will.

I don't see what's so shockng to you though. DM2 was a massive hit all over the world and Frozen is infinitely more satisfying than DM2.
Originally Posted By Jim in Merced CA Just an observation, planodisney. Yes 'Avatar' and 'Titanic' -- I find it fascinating to see what movies become hits and those that don't. It's so organic and so tough to quantify. I find the new series 'Rake' starring Greg Kinnear to be one of the smartest, most well-written and best acted TV series I've seen in years. Right up there with 'House' or 'Monk' for me. And yet, after two episodes, it's already in danger of being cancelled. And yet 'Two Broke Girls' enjoys phenomenal success. Again -- you just can't predict what's going to be a hit. I'm delighted that 'Frozen' is doing so well -- I don't begrudge those who have gone back to see it over and over and love it -- just surprised that it's this one,

It surpassed Despicable Me 2 as biggest animated movie with 400 million domestic up next and 1 billion worldwide

Originally Posted By TheRedhead I believe the $39.00 I just spent on the sing-along is what put them over the top. You're welcome. The sing-along concept is a fun idea, but it was awfully quiet in my half-ish-filled theater. It seems more like an excuse for little kids to be chatty than anything else.
Originally Posted By FerretAfros I just got back from seeing it again, with some friends who hadn't seen it yet. It was a mostly-full theater (with plenty of noisy kids), but I was most surprised to see the number of groups of adults without kids. I would guess that roughly half of the groups in the theater were kid-less (for a 4:30 Sunday show). Obviously this film is beginning to get to its last legs in the US (this was one of the few theaters still showing it in a large metro area), but it's still doing very solid business. Quite impressive! I wonder if Iger is beginning to regret his company-wide push to the DVD/Blu-ray releases up so much; I think we're about 6 weeks away from Frozen hitting store shelves, and it's still a pretty solid draw And with the Olympics going, I thought of something that's going to be huge whenever they get around to it: Disney on Ice's production of Frozen. Just wait for it!

Originally Posted By darcy-becker I suppose they could postpone it. It will probably still so OK in second run. There is a difference seeing a movie on the big screen.
Originally Posted By JeffG I doubt that postponing the DVD release would even be an offer. Disney likely has too many promotional deals in place for that. They wouldn't likely want to anyway. The benefits from getting the video into stores while the film is still hot and fresh in people's memory would outweigh any revenue lost from second run theaters.

Originally Posted By JeffG Yep, the one near here regularly is showing films that are already out on DVD, often to fairly full audiences. By the way, I have no idea why I typed "offer" when I meant "option" in #418...
