Amazon MGM Studios' Red One grossed $1.66M on Monday (from 4,032 locations). Total domestic gross stands at $33.77M.
Most of Hollywood's biggest flops are in recent years
and as this was first a 'Sport' / ToonFantasy movie thread and a mix of live action and animtion let's have a recap on some of those classics
So what went wrong with Le Bron's toon
a bad piece of film
Le Bron has zero stage personality and is just unliked
it had no message
let's look at other classics where there is buzz on message boards
The Iron Claw, Rocky, Tokyo Olympiad, Lagaan, Boxer a Polish language movie 2024, Borg vs McEnroe 2017, The Cutting Edge, Rush, When We Were Kings, The Hurricane, Jerry Maguire, This Sporting Life, Big Wednesday, Chariots of Fire, Breaking Away 1979, Ford vs Ferrari, The Karate Kid, Slap Shot, North Dallas Forty, Raging Bull, Bloodsport 1988, The Wrestler, Secretariat, The Cannonball Run
and a mix of toonworld and real life
you had the original Space Jam with Michael Jordan but also Cool World, Monkeybone, Dick Tracy, Shaolin Soccer, Mario Bros, Sonic, The Mask, TMNT, 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit?'

I know people who didn't watch Red One just because Chris Evans is in it and he did that cringe Kamala ad with the rest of the losers that played the Avengers back when people still cared about comic book movies.

the disconnect between media papers / sites and the public who do their own thing remains as wide a cultural gap as ever
Venom-3 speculation it could flop but now perhaps it will be comfortably profitable
China: $100M?
Sony pulls it off with a guest character it woned when it bought Spider-Man, a B-list anti-hero with people bashing, consistently rotten reviews from elite critics but ended up becoming a successful trilogy, whereas the Major studio brands pushed by media Captain Marvel/Joker remained one hit wonders
a new LOTR toon
no report on budget
LOTR they gave it to Japan anime, Lord of the Rings War of the Rohirrim. War of the Rohirrim tells the story of Helm Hammerhand, a legendary king of Rohan, and his family as they defend their kingdom against an army of Dunlendings
quote
https://lotr.fandom.com/wiki/Dunlendings
Dunlendings, also known as the Wildmen of Dunland, were a race of Men living on the plains of Dunland. Bitter foes of the Rohirrim, their desire for vengeance made them pawns of Sauron the Dark Lord, through the rebel Wulf and later Saruman the White.
LOTR toon might not get much money, but it does not need much to push past 2 Billion Domestic and 6 Billion World wide adding to the overall value of the brand

Wow. I haven't been paying attention to Venom. Damn shame it appears to be out of gas. It's only $3 Million away from beating the 9th place Chinese movie. I knew it wasn't going to lose money, but I didn't think it was going to make more than Beetlejuice.
Not only that, but it might have made more money than Gladiator II and Wicked will.

new Snow White
seems to be a total disaster
but Snow White can probably beat a British movie called Paddington in Peru that nobody really watched
Iron Man 3 (2013) vs. Disney’s Snow White (2025) vs. Paddington in Peru (2024)
