There are many variables involved. One of them being that it's not opening in China which is a lucrative market, as it's not considered appealing for that market.

It did underperform. Pro Boxoffice predicted 350 million domestic. Now it may not even reach 200 million. in fact I think it WILL fall short of 200 million domestic by at least 15 million dollars.

I don't think it will beat The Greatest Showman at this point.

My most major criticism of the film is that it is too long. I think a 130 minute movie is not a good idea if your main audience is kids. But even as an adult I found it dragged in parts, mainly the beginning that essentially lacks songs. I think 20-30 mins. could have easily been edited out without losing much in terms of the plot. It would have flowed better. A shorter movie would have allowed at least one more showing a day which would have helped the box office.
Other than that it was pretty good, with generally inspired casting.

Was anyone really clamoring for a Mary Poppins sequel?

It would have flowed better. A shorter movie would have allowed at least one more showing a day which would have helped the box office. Other than that it was pretty good, with generally inspired casting. That is a good point, but the intent was on keeping it as much in line with the originals presentation. I would have to see again, and a tighter edit may have worked wonders for the film, but what exactly could they have taken out without disrupting the flow?
I even feel the first MP is perhaps a bit too long and the dance of the chimney sweeps perhaps could have been shortened. The same with the lamplighters in this one.
I don't think much of anything needed to be taken out in terms of full scenes, the establishing scenes could have all been trimmed a bit, these being the scenes before MP shows up. I would have to watch it again to see if I still feel this way, but the fact I did in a first viewing ....and at the beginning of the movie makes me feel the pacing was too slow. Too much about financial woes, etc. The lamplighters was a contrived idea to begin with. Most of London street lamps had been electrified by then, and the parts that were not were mainly on timers and self igniting. |
