Call me cynical but this looks like every other kids movie out there down to the wacky sidekicks, chase scenes, and pop culture jokes.

I like how Playmobil comes off as a toy for very young children, but then you see the more advanced non-age-appropriate stuff like armed bank robbers, special forces snipers and the Boston Bruins.

 

[THORin]

Well this looks...weird.

Hmm... not sure if I knew of this film’s existence.

If LEGO Movie 2 underperformed, I cant see this doing so well.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Minecraft & the Funko Pop movie will resurrect the genre!

MAKE THE TOY MOVIES GREAT AGAIN!

Multicolored Utility Ball: The Movie.

Anything is possible.

I mean, a 1D fanfic from Wattpad got a big theatrical release during last weekend. For. Real.

 

[:eek:]

So, can anyone merge this thread with the original one?

So, the bet they did on attempting to get boy attention from Frozen failed. Badly.

Less than a million opening weekend.

 

[terry78]

I forgot it was even coming out this weekend.

 

[Sithborg]

Based on the box office, so did everyone else.

 

[Sawyer]

I literally did not see a single scrap of marketing for this. If the studio behind this film didn’t want it to bomb, they’ve got an odd way of showing it.

 

[DarkKnight88]

If Lego Movie 2 disappointed after being 5 years too late, how did they think a third-rate knockoff was going to do?

 

[Sithborg]

Probably not this badly.
