"Coraline" Talkback (Spoilers)

Apparantly Coraline needed to make at least $16 mil on the opening weekend to be a success. So the fact that it made that much proves that the film is on a good track.
 
Went to see it earlier today at a 2:40 showing. I was the first one in the room but about 5 minutes before it started what was nearly a full crowd showed up.

This was an awesome movie. The animation was great, the best in a stop motion picture I've seen yet. It had some moments that really "jumped" at you. And got pretty dark and times. But it was a great film which kept my attention all the way through.

9/10.
 
I just saw Coraline again, and again, the craft was amazing!
There were a lot of [sick] little kids in the theatre, and all of them seemed very scared. I think kids under 7 shouldn't see it, but otherwise it's good for all other ages.
If Coraline doesn't get [or at least get nominated for] the Oscar for 2009, I will be very, very, VERY surprised.
 
It's still doing well right? And does anyone think that in a few years Coraline will be considered a cult classic like The Nightmare Before Christmas?
 
Yup.



It'll be in the same category as Corpse Bride. Nightmare Before Christmas is a success that won't seem to be repeated by neither Burton or Selick. They did James and the Giant Peach together and Corpse Bride and Coraline seperately and none has reached the popularity of Nightmare. Which is a shame for Selick, but not Burton neccesarly since his live-action career has been pretty successful since 1985.
 
I just saw it, It was amazing. The effects were awesome and the whole thing was chilling. A few scenes made me jump but overall I almost never got scared.
I hope this movie does not bomb.

Weatherman's review is up on the news site.
 
Loved the movie for a whole bunch of reasons, but especially for the art. The character design was superb, and cool in how it was almost all asymmetrical (not something you see a lot of).

I've gotta say, though...Any kid named "Whyborn" would wind up a lot more messed up than Wybie did.
 
Dude, they wanted to gouge her eyes out and replace them with buttons. Would you want to stay in that world after hearing that?

Anyways, this was pretty awesome. My friend recently saw it, and said he walked out of the theater thinking it was pretty weird, but a day later he thought about it again, and remembered it being great. Same thing's happening to me. Dark, creepy, but amazing at the same time. The 3D was the icing on the cake.

By the way, try not to miss it in 3D! The last day is Thursday, then the theaters are lost to...sigh...The Jonas Brothers...
 
Same here but if Paul Blart: Mall Cop taught us anything, it's that even silly comedies can make some mad money so it's between that, Pink Panther 2, Taken, and Coraline for the number one spot this week.
 
Coraline ranked first place in Mexico by grossing 1.30 million on it's opening weekend there. And as of February 29, the film has grossed $45,125,000 in the United States and Canada and $48,564,119 worldwide.
 
I've been looking forward to this ever since I heard about it, but almost every hour of this weekend is tied up with a school project. Maybe I could squeeze it in on a weekday night.
