FIRST OFF THOSE NUMBERS INCLUDE THE DVD AND VHS SALES. $128.2 MILLION U.S. FELL SHORT OF WHAT THEY WANTED. IT'S OKAY, BUT IT STILL COUNTS AS A FLOP. WAS THERE A SEQUEL? NO, AND THAT MEANS THAT IT DIDN'T MEET STUDIO EXPECTATIONS.
excuse me,
do you need further proof? http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=robots.htm please learn how to do 'research'..........................
THOSE ARE BOX OFFICE NUMBERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! they DO NOT INCLUDE VHS or DVD sales, or they would be even higher..
and furthermore, if you bother to click on the link... notice this part ? Production Budget: $75 million
yeah, that's right, it made back way more than its budget...
i don't know which universe you live in, that's a huge HIT.......................................
'robots' is the move that Wall-E wishes it could have been............................
pixar LOSES, do you get it now?
Wall-e has disappointed all pixar fans, and is performing as one of the WORST releases they ever have.....
gee, do you think they'll make a sequel for it too?
how do you like this happy quote for the weekend.
Sixth spot goes to Pixar's WALL-E, as the computer animated kids flick got competition from not only Batman, but also Space Chimps this weekend. WALL-E earned $9.8 million and falls 48% compared to last weekend. WALL-E has seen some of the biggest drops in Pixar history, and has a current total so far of $182.5 million.

Uh, even though I started the discussion about the box office, I don't care about box office numbers one bit. Actually, the only reason I mentioned it is because you said it was getting negative reviews all over the place and was looking to become a flop. I've read one bad review about Wall-E and that was from Kurt Loder. To bad he's a has been.
Anyway, Robots, to me, was boring as hell.
As far as Wall-E goes, maybe you didn't catch the reference to HAL in Wall-E. Yeah, the robot was following orders, but with evidence to the contrary (the plant) he was unwilling to change his mind (there was no possible way for him to get another order from the President since he was dead), just like HAL. How was EVE's mission a coverup? She was sent to earth as a probe to look for any sign of life. She found the plant that Wall-E had already picked up earlier. That one plant was all that was needed for the return to Earth. The Captain didn't seem to care about returning to Earth or not until they found the plant. The plant was the signal that it was time to come home.
I saw the return to Earth as being a form of redemption for the humans. Instead of sitting around all day being completely attended too, they'd now develop some sense of accomplishment by being forced to do things on their own. And with the huge cleanup at hand, they'd have a much greater sense of responsibility to the planet.
Yeah, recycling was a huge, over the top point of the movie, but so what? You say robots don't have emotion, yet we saw plenty of "emotion" in Star Wars and I don't hear anybody bitching about that. The whole point of Wall-E was that a robot had developed something after years of doing the same thing every day. That robot then wanted a companion that he could share his thoughts with. Hence all the things he did for EVE even after she closed up upon finding the plant.
It's worth noting that Robots had pretty significant drops at the box office every week after it's first week too. And that was with a horror movie and then a comedy being released the first two weeks after it came out. It managed to pay for itself in 3 weeks instead of Wall-E's 4, but let's wait and see how Wall-E does in the home video market (everything got clobbered this weekend by Batman). Wall-E managed a fairly respectable $10 million weekend, considering that Batman, Hellboy II, and Space Chimps were all out (Space Chimps did worse than Wall-E and this is its opening weekend).
And damn DAVY, did the font size change around here or does it look like you're yelling louder than usual? I had to scroll past all your posts just now since it really seems like you're yelling. Oh well.
