The redband trailer was unleashed today:



Could be a disaster, a midsize hit or a blockbuster - I just can't tell...

I think it might be a tad too raunchy to break out. But it has the potential, and I've been wrong before...

This could possibly open in Sausage Party vicinity but, yeah, totally raunchy. They will have to come up with a brand new non-Redband trailer for theaters/TV.

Sausage Party numbers wouldn't surprise me, but I need to see more marketing before I make a concrete prediction.

That will definitely open to 30m+, but it will need better WOM than Sausage Party to hit 100m.

It's way more endearingly raunchy than Sausage Party, plus it features Muppets or Sesame Street characters or whatever, and so I see it going to about $120m.

Looks a lot better than what I was thinking when reading the premise few months back only.

I hear the trailer is slaying in front of select Deadpool 2 showings. Looks great. I hope it does well because I predicted this for Question 10 in our Box Office contest. And I'm the only one. :cool:

I didn't even know what it was at that time! Deadpool 2 is definitely the right audience for this to do well, and I think you may be onto a winner with picking it for question #10.

I still cannot tell if this will breakout or not. I do think it will well enough though I am yet not sold on $100m total.

Definitely less than 65% of "Sausage Party". I mean seriously who is this for? And does McCarthy have anything other than "Va JJ" jokes left?

Not even 3m combined video trailer views yet. Where are all of you trailer view nutcases saying that it will open to $50k?

Might be too easy raunchy for Muppets based movie which will work against it. And based on the trailer view count it doesn't look like it will open huge.

$18m/$55m

This had potential to be a Ted type of success but I don't really like the cop format

Reception seems to be mixed (some like it, some feel like they are trying too hard to earn the R rating). $18m/$36m

Perhaps I went overboard but I do see a decent OW due to the novelty factor but WOM weighing it down quickly (and this is coming from a huge fan of talking puppets)

That's fine but why would the legs be so bad? I feel it will have decent legs as people might not be ready upfront to see a raunchy rendition of taking puppets.

Perhaps it will have a better multiplier than what I posited. It's just that, unfortunately, muppet movies don't grab audiences (everyone likes them but not enough to see them in theaters) and I don't think the R rated gimmick will change that.

The 2011 Disney Muppets did $88m so its not like people don't see these in theaters but I agree that R rated gimmick will mostly backfire in this case.

Does anyone else feel they are not making the most of this crazy concept?
