The My Little Pony Movie

@Background Pony #A8BD  
Celestia will get killed

@Background Pony #A8BD  
And do you have ANY kind of info to base these of?  
As far as i know there is literally no info of what happens on the movie so far, so assuming that much outta nowhere seems wrong  
Heck we dont even know if it will be slice of life or adventure themed

How much do you guys think, this movie will actually make? I recently saw some unrealistic numbers like 1 billion dollars.
 
Also, will this be a G Movie, or maybe even PG?

@Background Pony #2902  
Is G the lowest you can go? If so it’ll be that.

@Background Pony #2902  

 
WOAH NOW! Let’s not get too extreme here, this is a family show after all!

@Background Pony #2902  

 
More money than Star Wars 7

@Background Pony #A8BD  

 
So, the My Little Pony Movie will gross more than $2.066 billion at the box office?  
 
Don’t be delusional.
 
 
Actually the sad fact is that MLP might flop at the box office due to the competition~  
My Little Pony- November 3rd  
Thor: Ragnarok- November 3rd  
Dr Suess’ The Grinch- November 10th  
Justice League Part 1- November 17th  
Pixar’s Coco- November 22nd  
Star Wars Episode 8- December 15th

Yeah just with ragnarok being on the same day i think they doomed themselves to get bad revenue, everyone gonna be watching marvel stuff

@MrXemnas1992  
@Horsecat  
tbh, Star Wars will be the only thing besides ponies that I may watch in theaters. All the other movies just don’t seem interesting.

@Horsecat  
Especially considering that it’s a two-for-one-Marvel-film: Hulk is co-starring, with rumors of adapting elements from “Planet Hulk”…not to mention Thanos is finally being proactive and is going to destroy the Norse Pantheon aka the entire realm of Asgard and everyone in it…hence the title “Ragnarok”.
 
This is a huuuuuuge movie, and it’s suicide for MLP to be released in the same weekend.
 
Not to mention that inherent problem with having an older male fanbase: the embarrassment/judging stares of going up to the ticket box and saying “Hi, 1 Adult for My Little Pony”

@MrXemnas1992  
Well ive never had a problem before to buy tickets when i went to watch rainbow rocks and friendship games, helps a lot to see tons of other random bronies around doing it too tho  
Maybe it was just luck but not even the guys that attended me seemed to mind that i was asking tickets for an eqg movie

@Amber  
Which would have been the good date to release the movie ?No seriously,because if we go by the logic that FIMovie will fail against any other movies released at the same time,the movie will never be released.If you look at the 2017 films page at Wikipedia,there’s at least one blockbuster every two months (and all the movies havent been anounced yet)

“Not to mention that inherent problem with having an older male fanbase: the embarrassment/judging stares of going up to the ticket box and saying “Hi, 1 Adult for My Little Pony” “  
Holy hell,good to see that i’m not the only one with the same problem,i have no effin’ clue on how i’m going to pull that off at the theater when November 2017 will come,i was thinking on buying a ticket online but then i’ll still have to present my ticket to the guy that guard the access to the projections rooms.I had no problem asking tickets for Zootopia but MLP ? That’s another story entirely T_T Maybe we’ll see a situation similar to when the South Park movie was released ,teens were buying tickets for Wild Wild West but once in the theater they were going to the room projecting South Park instead,in that case we’ll see twenty something guy purchasing Thor tickets then sneaking to the MLP screening.  
AND (because that’s not the end of it) i cant even count on an hypothetical group of bronies to blend myself in , i dont live in a big city/MLP is not as big as a craze in Europe,especially in a non-English speaking country  
We’re in this together,Xenmas

Wait, now I’m wondering why are people focusing on the release date alone? It’s not like it’s going to show the movie on that particular day. Who knows, it may even end up as a sleeper hit.

@Seabridge Drive  
Part of it is the public stigma that remains against the franchise, so it’s not really going to attract as much of a general audience; not to mention that there may be some parents who won’t take their kids to MLP because they buy into the negative stereotype of bronies and don’t want to expose their kids to those deviants.
 
But then again, who knows? Jeffery Katzenberg once sat down with John Musker and Ron Clements and warned them, “Look guys, ‘The Little Mermaid’ is a girl’s film, so it’s probably not going to make as much money as a boy’s film like ‘Oliver and Company’.”
 
Clements and Musker just looked at one another and then back to Katzenberg, “This is a girl’s film?”
 
…and now you know the rest of the story.  

@MrXemnas1992  
I have to admit, The Little Mermaid was never a favorite of mine, but I’d never say it was a bad movie. Heck, late 80s to mid 90s Disney was pretty much the touchstone of my youth. So many memorable films in that timeframe.
 
I guess it just goes to show that if you respect the story and the audience you’re trying to tell it to, and actually care about the finished product, you’ll probably make a good movie.

@MrXemnas1992  
You can never be quick to judge how a movie will perform commercially, this movie may even end up as a cult classic. Only time will tell.

@MrXemnas1992
 
>Those posters
 
 
All beautiful, but the Hercules and the Tarzan ones are clashing (for some reason to me). I prefer the ones before their release.
 
 
@Seabridge Drive
 
I would have to agree with this.

to a good chuck of bronies if MLP movie doesn’t get the #1 spot at the box office to them everything they did since 2010 goes down the toylet

Movie release date changed to October 6th, 2017. A month sooner than before.

@Background Pony #F16D  
IKR that’s awesome:D

@Background Pony #F16D  
likely going up against deadpool 2

@Background Pony #6C4A  
Well Thor 3 won’t be facing the ponies.

@Background Pony #A9EB  
going by the success of the first deadpool movie it will still be a challenge specially if FOX does similar marketing to the first deadpool movie
