If you haven't noticed, movies that have got over $80 million were either big budget movies, HUGE names, or sequels to very popular movies. Incredibles stands on it's own, and all it had was the name of Pixar.
If anyone thinks The Incredibles is not great and it's dissapointing, they should be shot. Period. Ok Herr Hitler. I didn't realize we lived in Nazi Germany. I'm assuming he meant regarding box office performance, not the quality of the film. I mean, we all know what you thought of it.

I consider a 71 mil. opening to be huge and has no bearing on whether I liked the movie or not.
Just because some fanboys thought it should have made over 80 or 90 mil. does not make the opening disappointing.

jb007, I was referring to the box office of the movie, considering that the whole paragraph was about the box office. I would never say that about the quality of the movie, because we all know that I have a very different opinion from everyone here.

Like I said before, I agree with you on the 71 mil. is far from being a disappointment. It is crazy to think 71 mil. opening as a disappointment. Personally I think some Pixar fanboys who hated the Shrek 2 phenomenon, wanted this to outperform Shrek 2 really bad. It did not happen on the opening weekend and they are disappointed.
Though I hated this movie, I don't deny this is a huge hit that will probably hit 250 mil.

I haven't heard anything about Pixar fanboys being disappointed about the 70M opening. I haven't seen a prediction that said it's going to outperform Shrek 2. It's a great opening, and people are happy about it. We shouldn't try to twist it any other way.

By the way, Fade to Black did an okay $476,000 this weekend. It wasn't in many theaters, and it got a $2,800 PTA, about half the PTA of Tupac: Resurrection and Tupac and Biggie. Still, it's not that bad. Other than the people who watched TRL, I'm sure a lot of people didn't know about it.

Saw and Grudge's drop is just amazing. I can't believe they're having some awesome post-Halloween legs. _________________
