Wreck It Ralph had grossed $159+million, while Ralph breaks the Internet has grossed $157+million in it's first 5 weeks. And that's not even adjusting for Inflation! Can you imagine a Pixar sequel doing something like this? Even Cars 2 & Monsters University did better then this

I said it's going to be a box office disappointment (not a flop though). Now with Mary Poppins Returns, Aquaman, Bumblebee and Spiderman, why would anyone go and watch Ralph?

They must be worried about Frozen 2 considering that film's recent backlash and older audiences perception of it as just a little girls movie.

there's still the foreign BO though, if it does better there then none of this may really matter.

What is the backlash and little girl movie opinion, and where did you learn this from?

I would not count on China and Japan, they have a different culture than US and "American Internet" might not be a subject that would interest them.

I hope so. It seems Disney will be competing with themselves again next year with these two titles. Also, The Lion King remake will have a new song or two, right? Maybe it'll be in contention as well.

JeanGreyForever wrote:That's true. Between The Lion King, Aladdin, and Frozen, Disney will have countless new songs that they'll want to nominate. I think Frozen 2's soundtrack is going to suffer because likely no matter how good the songs are, nothing will be able to rival Let It Go.

Ahead of the film's release, ComicBook.com spoke with McBrayer about working with Jane Lynch for a second time, and whether or not he had a different approach to voicing Fix-It Felix in the sequel.

"Yes and no," McBrayer began. "The good news was I was able to touch on the relationship with Jane Lynch's character, Calhoun, from the first one. These are definitely different circumstances because now were married and there's some tension, there's some marital strife, perhaps stagnation. But at the end of the day I'm doing bits with Jane Lynch, and so no matter what story they're giving you to play with, I'm able to like improvise. The hardest part for me was not laughing and like ruining a take for Jane because I mean she's just solid funny and she can't help it."

Part of what makes their relationship so intriguing is the fact that, unlike in other animated movies, many of these actors got to record in the studio together. McBrayer being able to improvise with Lynch while they were in booth, giving their relationship a much more authentic feel.

"There are a couple [of scenes]," McBrayer recalled with a laugh. "With Jane Lynch, there's a scene, I don't even know if it made it in the film, where she was having a flashback, a memory of her own mother, and she's coming out of the flashback and she's talking to her son. She goes, 'Mama, Mama, Mama,' she does it for like a solid 90 seconds. And I'm sitting there just trying so hard not to ruin the take because you know, this is an emotional moment for this character and also to have those headphones in. That's the only sound you hear, just, 'Mama.'
