I do a lot of these whenever a non-CGI movie comes out. Yeah, I’m worried about Kubo underperforming. Look at Shaun the Sheep Movie from last year! If it underperformance just for not being CGI, what message does that send? That animated movies have to have X, Y and Z to be successful? That they’re a checklist? In 2012, after Pirates, Paranorman and Frankenweenie underperformed, Henry Selick’s project was put on hold.
It’s from LAIKA who did Coraline, Paranorman Boxtrolls. A solid line of films, and look at its rating on RT! I think some might just assume it’ll be successful and take it for granted.
Please spread the word–if you don’t reblog this, find another way to promote it. Note about movies you wanna support–the better it does on opening weekend, the longer it stays in theaters. Also on opening weekend, more of the ticket price goes to the studio, the theater gets more if you see it later in its run.
