Universal/PR willing to pay critics 4-digit range to vote for Ariana Grande in the Critics Choice award Nov 28, 10:53
That is incredibly against the rules and I cant imagine that is anyone officially connected to Uni {nm} Nov 28, 11:02
It is not, and it would be a tremendous waste of money since knowing my CCA colleagues, they'll nominate her anyway. {nm} Nov 28, 20:24
If that is a contracted PR firm they will be blacklisted everywhere {nm} Nov 28, 11:06
if it was just him or a few folks, then its someone scamming them {nm} Nov 28, 11:30

I thought mufasa would be the hit between it and Moana, but now with that 50m tracking they’ve switched places {nm} Nov 28, 11:23
I'm guessing based on the performance by The Lion King live action movie, Disney did too. Nov 29, 01:52

Posted below {nm} Nov 28, 07:55

CinemaScore: MOAN2 A- Nov 28, 02:17
Same as Red One. {nm} Nov 28, 03:29

It looks like it could be much closer to $10m than $6m :) {nm} Nov 28, 07:56
Disney poster shows LILST and MOANA are in the universe Nov 27, 13:28
It's a little nod to the original teaser poster for the animated one that had the various Disney characters angry at Stitch Nov 27, 13:38
“Stitch Crashes” cross-over with other movies/characters merchandise is very popular {nm} Nov 27, 15:00
I've found that Lilo & Stitch is still very popular with kids even 24 years after its release. Nov 28, 03:20
THR: [SONC3] is tracking to open to $55 million, compared to $50 million for [LION2] according to NRG Nov 27, 13:08

BOR: Moana 2 grossed an estimated $13.8M from Tuesday preview shows Nov 27, 08:13
If I have it right thats 9 months from Announcement to Release: Animation, Songs, Voices, Marketing in that time. {nm} Nov 27, 08:40
well...many of the characters and sets were already designed / rendered for the first one, no? That has to help... {nm} Nov 27, 09:37
No, it was in production as a series's, probably pivoted to feature before announcement. Only voice recording came late. Nov 27, 10:01
