Ralph Wrecks The Box Office


Well I'm back and the last show is Playing on YouTube. New show this weekend Dec. 1. 

Mini-Reviews: 1 to 5 being a hit.
Wreck It Ralph 2: 5, This gets our childhood videogames right where Radio Playing One got wrong.
Creed 2: 3, Actually it's Rocky 4 coming around for a full closer. But all that training, what a bore.
Christmas Chronicles: 4, Snake Slipskin singing a Santa song in a jail. Russell having a blast.
Outlaw King: 4, Where Braveheart left off. Great battle sequence at the end.
Detective Chinatown 2: 2. This was Huge internationally and is in the top 10 for 2018. I didn't get it. Filmed in NYC they skip locations like crazy. foot chase sequence in Wall St. they go thru some doors and then all of a sudden their in Grand Central. WTF. How wonder it wasn't released here in the U.S,

Venom is killing it in China, Ralph taking over in other markets and while Beasts is doing great overseas, in the U.S. its already drop down to No. 4 at the box office. But looks like we're getting another Beasts sequel. Ugghh.

Well looks like another hit here. But it does look rather cool. Hopefully it won't be like Jungle Book. Too damn dark compare to the original animation.

And who thought  this was a good idea to begin with. That's why studios are tanking.

From 15M down to 5M in viewers. And they're going to release 3 films with Rick. Are they kidding?
I know who cares. But the studio should really read the comments in this article. Ouch !

Animation to Live Action aka Lion King, Battle Angel and Live Action to Animation aka Pacific Rim down to Spiderman animation coming out Xmas while we wait for Avengers 4. Why not? Milk the old cow, there might be some drips left. BTW Bebop was already done live action, it was called Firefly. Remember that?
