    Really looking forward to this after seeing the trailer. Hopefully the resulting kits will look as good as the one's in the trailer / film.

    Not feeling this at all. Doesn't have the pulling power of the other two Lego movies, and it all feels a little off...

    Should I know what ninjago is? Seems a little too similar to the first 2 which is a shame as it'll get old very quickly.

    It has not done the business at the US box office like the other two

    I do hope this is the end of these Lego movies. The shine is starting to wear off.

    No chance. They're a big draw for kids.

    Are they though? This one only made $35m domestically. With $58m so far worldwide. boxofficemojo doesn't state how much the budget was, but a search on Google has said $70m. It might rise, but I can't imagine them making back much more than the budget.

    Fair point. Looks like the Lego movies don't do well in China either.

    They might be a big draw for kids, but it's the parents that buy the tickets & if the films' collective quality dips, there's less chance parents will want / bother taking their little cherubs. There's a good reason the best / most successful kids films tend to have an equally strong adult audience. ..

    That's an interesting one. I wonder why. What about the Lego movies wouldn't sell there?

    Feckin' Chinese. It's 'cause of them that we'll likely get another Terminator movie after the awful Genysis :pac:
