I just love the aesthetic of this film! I also think Jonah looks perfect as Eric. I was apprehensive about him before, but every picture/clip I've seen he's selling it.

The basement dwelling racists can shove it. This film is going to smash, regardless of their tears.

I heard people at work talking about this the other day saying they will not go see it... :katie:

It's probably gonna do well, but very unlikely to smash, just like with most media that sees huge push back movements like this. A recent example would be the LOTR series on Amazon. Huge backlash and ratio'd teasers/trailers, everyone said it's only 'basement dwelling racists' that are against it and it ended up doing very underwhelming numbers, especially considering the investment that went into that show. The truth is that a big (silent) part of the public is not on board with stuff like this. I'd be surprised if this fared much better.

I feel pretty confident this will get near $1 billion at the box office. Sorry, but the loud racists are not going to tank it. No matter how hard they want to. :michael:

Tbh, it's hard to predict the numbers, not because of the race swap alone

There's a lack of star power (like Will Smith, Emma Watson, Angelina Jolie), there's no visual gimmick like TLK ("next level photorealistic animals!") and the live action remake as a concept itself has lost its novelty after more than a decade of them

On the other hand, the timeless story and classic soundtrack make it critic-proof and guarantee its success, whether it makes half a billion or a billion or whatever is the question :dies:
