Variety has an article on the lack of Family Friendly Films this year at the box office.
The lack of kid-friendly fare — which is exacerbated by the absence of the customary Pixar release — is one factor prompting some box office analysts to predict a softer summer domestically. It’s going to be tough for the summer to top last year’s record $4.75 billion. But the family drought may leave room for slightly older-skewing films to overperform in the family segment. Among these: Disney’s “Maleficent,” the retelling of the classic fairy tale “Sleeping Beauty” from the perspective of its villainous witch; Relativity Media’s PG-rated sci-fi tale “Earth to Echo”; and Marvel offerings including “X-Men: Days of Future Past,” “The Amazing Spider-Man 2” and “Guardians of the Galaxy.”
Those that read the previous version of the blog know I have speculated on how this lack of films in this particular genre effects everything from total summer box office to individuals movies or potentially turning How to train your Dragon 2 into the years first and only billion dollar movie.
