Do you think it could break box office records?
Could it at least be number one on opening weekend?

Turns out I heard her a few years ago when she did a song on South Park where she sang a fake Lorde song.

One of my friends seen it in the previews of Ninjago and is planning to take his daughter there. So it is reaching more people then I expected, at last locally. Then again, it might just be because they relate it to me and without my interest in it they might not have even registered that they saw it.

I wanna say it might do as good as The Smurf movie. Both are nostalgic TV shows of the same era. That should draw in some attraction.

Doing a quick check on Box Office Mojo, the Smurfs movie opened in 1500 more theaters than MLP is expected to. 2100 theaters is pretty low.

Jem was a colossal bomb, grossing only about $2.33 million worldwide. Even on a low budget of $5 million, that was a terrible loss. The MLP Movie doesn't exactly have a high bar to clear in that regard.Mr. Big wrote:I think the question we should be asking re: box office is, will it at least do better than how "Jem" did?
