The Wild Robot in theaters. Not a sequel or a remake. It is based off of a novel though.
2024 was apparently the first year where all the top-10 highest grossing movies were sequels. List doesn't include Moana 2 and Gladiator 2 which are expected to make a lot of money as well.
Wild Robot really surprised me.. Score was fantastic and some scenes had me bawling
We took our toddler to see it and both my partner and I had multiple episodes of weeping. Lovely film.
Also, for those interested in more mature movies: Juror #2. I had good expectations and was not disappointed. At least, not by the movie. There were only a handful of people in an already small cinema room, only a week after release. Meanwhile, Gladiator II is drawing a lot of public.
While I love shitting on CEOs and business people as much as the next left-oriented person, this trend in the movie industry is very much, at least partially, at fault due to many of the consumers.
Thought provoking in that everyone who wants to convict is "because he's a piece of shit, whether or not it is unlikely he did it". How do you tell people they are pieces of shit themselves, without them reactively thinking you are? Is the big thought experiment this film provokes.
