The first second I saw this and I instantly shouted "What the hell is captain--" and then stopped, thinking that I should of waited to see what the thread is about.

I'm intrigued. when I was younger; I looked at it faintly but never played much attention to it.

I am curious to see how it play's out; but I'll wait till the first trailer.

I loved these books as a kid. Loved. I remember going to Barnes and Noble all the time hoping the new one would be out. But they took FOREVER to come out. And I always wanted a movie to come out. So while I might have outgrown the books, I might be forced to check out the movie because of how much I loved the books when I was a kid. Always wanted to see it brought to life

I *loved* the series when I was a kid. But the time has passed, and some things are just better in book form.

I'm looking forward to this solely based on my love of the books as a kid. This might be a little out of my age range but that's not gonna stop me from watching it

Count me with you as shocked.

The good reviews should fair well for the movie since Cars 3 comes out in two weeks and, although will finish #1, will likely have a terrible RT Score. Cars 1 & 2 are the worst rated Pixar films on RT so far. That could lead to this movie holding for a bit.

Unfortunately for the movie on the whole though, it will need to do well internationally to be a success though financially. Opening against Wonder Woman kind of buries it.

It also only costed $38 million.... way less than Minions

What about Marketing?

What about Marketing?

Marketing is typically close to what the production budget is.
