well, I think it is pretty good for opening. I am happy. Mattel is going to make more money….and make more cars!
The new Smurfs movie will be bumping Cars2 out of our theater tomorrow.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
oh, I dont know Smurfs were a bit “spooky” to me with deceiving periwinkle blue color…and my boys during the commercial posed a very good question…”Why in this movie we have only one girl Smurfette???? Where are the rest????” Luckily in Cars we have few cool chicks.
(MET: At least they explained they are brothers and sisters …).
I don’t like those little blue things! 😕
Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s
Cars 2 is finally out today in Germany! I loved it!!
And I got my free metallic Jeff Corvette at TRU too…what a happy day!!
I went to see the preview at the BFI in London a few weekends ago with Q and A with Lasseter.
I was realyl excited about going to see the flik but when the film was over, I couldn’t believe what a let down it was.
Easily the worst Pixar movie.
“Story is king” does not apply to this movie
I bet Cars 2 will sell a lot more mechandise than $350 million.
I’ll bet you $350 million they don’t.
“Merchandise tied to the Cars franchise has generated global retail sales of more than $8 billion,” Walt Disney said Monday.
They reported that back in February. Now, if only I could come up with $350 million to cover that bet.
Retail sales of $8 billion do not flow into the coffers of Mattel (It’s Not Swell). I haven’t seen the wholesales of the merchandise or the amount Disney/Pixar have gotten from the licensing agreements for the toys. Mattel should be paying a percentage of the wholesale sales out the door to the retailers. It seems there’s a lot more merchandise with Cars 2 than Cars, The Original. Plenty of diapers and food stuffs, etc on the shelves.
It’s crazy how many products out there are tied into this movie. But I’m sure they are all happy with whatever percentage they get.
Such a cool movie. I’ll give my money to Pixar anyday… Mattel is another story.
I thought that $350 million was good for being out a month, but Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 has only been out 13 days and it’s grossed $882 million! 😮 but still, Cars 2 has made a LOT of money!
