About the box office performance

[Unlikeable Pony 2,698]

It depends on the quality of it, and its advertising honestly.
They've yet to release a trailer, and they need to get BOTH their adult audience and child audience on board to make this thing as big as it can be. For example, look at the powerpuff girls movie. TERRIBLE advertising, and a complete lack of how to market it lead to it flopping. They need to make sure to have ad campaigns aimed at hitting BOTH adults and kids, like how lego batman had a nice middle ground meant to pull in adult fans of the lego movie and kids wanting batman.

 

 

If they play their cards right they can get this thing to succeed on NAME ALONE. On the other hand, even if its good, if they fail at advertising, it'll be an uphill battle. You need to get bronies fired up for this, get that S1 flair going on, make them feel this is both a return to the greatness that brought many in for S1/s2 of Mane six awesomeness that celebrates ALL of them (assuaging fears of them being upstaged by the new VA characters), and also play up this as being even more awesome than twilight's kingdom for fans of action.

Bronies are not the main part of it. They need to get families in too. Kids films are automatic cash cows if the marketing is right.

No you're whining OMG EVERYONE HATES MLP NOW AND EVERYTHING IS CRINGE THIS MOVIE IS A FAILURE. I'm already seeing former Bronies get interested in this movie so stop making baseless predictions until the movie actually comes out.

Opening weekend (US): $15-20 million  , Total Gross: $50-60 million.

Not seeing it being a hit, still has a big stigma of being "too girly" and it isnt even a CGI movie, plus being too late in the game.

 

SORRY!

All of those are ridiculous reasons. There's something called advertising, quality, and word of mouth too.

But not always strong advertising works, for example some Dreamworks Animation films, Disney films, etc. And about the quality it remains to be seen if it will be a good film that would resonate with audiences, in that case could have "legs" for its run but even with that I think it will fall short of $100m..
