It really grinds my gears that they took a movie-length two act play and padded it out to chop it up into two movies. And they’ll be rewarded for it. Together, they’ll gross over $1.5 billion, maybe over 2.
You really think this is going to do gang busters? I’m not even convinced it will make the money back
I really do. I think it will be more Lion King remake than Cats adaptation. But I’m ready to admit that I was wrong if people don’t line up in droves for it. I think the first will do much better than the second, because a ton of people will say “the ending sucked. It just stopped without any resolution. And there wasn’t even half the songs from Wizard of Oz.”
What’s worse is that it was in no way made public that this was a part 1.
It’s crazy that a movie like this can cost more than the price of the entire Lord of the rings trilogy
