This RUINED Forgotten Island #movie #animation #dreamworks #forgottenisland

bro forgotton island got forgotton 💔

Omg fanatic early w

In my opinion, the only reason that it didn’t do as well as I thought is because the audience range I felt was very directed towards girls, specifically teenage girls and so a lot of guys and adults. Probably don’t wanna go watch this movie.

This is a another Transformers one situation

Nope families are just broke

Im sure it'll end up as a sleeper hit due to positive word of mouth, kinda like Elemental, given this is one of DreamWorks' highest rated movies.

But who knows?

This movie got marketed? I learned if it's existence from people making shorts like these explaining how bad it's opening weekend was

I was actually looking forward to it, and didn’t even remember or know that it came out or existed 😅

Didnt know it existed until it came out, the marketing team did like nothing😂😂

In my personal opinion I think it didn't succeed as well in the opening weekend because Avengers endgame Encore came out the same day as forgotten Island

I think I’m the only person that’s got so many ads on everything about forgotten Island they must’ve spent all the money on me just to see it

The pacing is if a kid with adhd drunk 500 monster energy drinks

Didnt know this was a thing till this video

I prefer watching "Family Guy" than this movie. Imagine that as to poke fun at stereotypes

Miss Kim: I turn now. Good luck, everybody else! 😂😂😂

Meanwhile, in "South Park": Welcome to City Wok!

It’s a shame that Forgotten Island is doing terrible despite me already have watched it in theaters two times and the theaters were always packed when I watched it both times so I thought Forgotten Island would have a great opening weekend

Forgotten Island ❌
Forgotten Movie ✅

My only problem with it is the title is so basic. ( Forgotten island ) It could be anything. A small thing but it sounds so basic that it doesn't hook people's interest as much.

Boy, it's neither the marketing not the product itself. It's the bad economy.

I’ve been getting a lot of ads for the movie too!!! So I wouldn’t say it was under marketed. I think the truth is either two things, people assume marketing means that the movie needs to be shoved down your throat everywhere you go or people feeds are very different so maybe that’s why they haven’t gotten marketing for the film but probably got more marketing for another movie like let’s say resident evil (saying this because I never got any other ads or trailers for that movie but yet I got a bunch for forgotten Island)

U just wanna be different don’t u

I'm gonna watch it later >:3 Grr

When everyone was yapping abt never hearing abt this movie I was in disbelief. I legit was TRYING to get this movie off my fyp (not cause I didnt like it, cause it was just everywhere)

Puss In Boots - The Last Wish
Budget: $90 million
U.S. Opening Weekend Earnings:
$12.4 million

Forgotten Island
Budget: $80 million
U.S. Opening Weekend Earnings:
$12.8 million

Last Wish eventually made $400+ million worldwide, so I wouldn’t call Forgotten Island a flop at this point. Give it a couple of months to simmer.

Also, Universal is planning to release this on Peacock and Netflix this December. It could go with the KPOP Demon Hunter route also.

No. There were just too manny good movies that came out the same time. The timing was wrong

I loved that movie

I liked the first trailer but then i started seeing those clips that just had a scene and the logo bouncing around and it kinda ruined me wanting to watch it

why you ruined it, po?

Just I think this movie came out late September when you have school plus Friday night high school football and weekend activities too. I love this movie so much

Disney did the same thing to WISH, Strange World, and Eternals...now DreamWorks is getting onboard? 😡

It came out the same weekend as the Avengers re-release. Of course it was going to struggle.

I actually enjoyed it. We need more movies like this

I actually really wanted to see this movie, I didn't see trailers for it at ALL these past few months. I found out from youtube shorts. I get animation ads all the time, why not this?

The neon colors lowk ruined it… made it look like a cheap joke

👎👎

My english teacher brought her 4 YR OLD KIDS to watch the movie🫩

No amount of marketing would’ve made this ahitty movie successful

Clearly, the market wasn't meant for a theatrical release, but there was executive greed and a lack of direction regarding the right audience—not to mention that the characters are a bit hard to find entertaining unless you're part of a specific niche! I, for one, tried to get excited about Mermahn but couldn't; it just felt like an episode of *SpongeBob SquarePants*!

Its a bad product - inconsistent, disjointed, unfunny.

Its good this page just hater

Guess it really was a forgotten island

My coworkers from the Philippines don't even know that the movie existed...so yes, the marketing was poor for the movie. BTW, I watched it during the early screening in Texas and I loved it!

I liked the movie, sad to see it flop.

(Sigh) Typical Dreamworks gives not enough marketing to their original features😒.

I watched this in a cinema AND HOLY IT WAS GOOD AND ALMOST AT THE END WANTED ME TO CRY A WHOLE RIVER

They release the movie in March 2026, which the Market team should have release in November 2025 to get a head start, and do marketing slowly then buld up the marketing simular to Puss in Boots: Last Wish. That's the reason why Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken bomb box office.

it's the best movie ever AH

That is so true marketing was bad. I had to text My friends yobadvitise it and majority of them did not even see the trailer.

Between Avengers:End game encore and Forgotten island..well people actually will watch the avengers again over an animated movie.

I remember watching two trailers for it but I didn’t even know it came out already.

Forgotten Island’s trailers feel like a version of the movie that got rewritten into the one we have right now. No matter what though, Pixar was proven right again about originals.

It has corny humor

It's a movie about Philippine Culture yet less than a handful of Filipinos in the Philippines knows about it. If that is not failed marketing then I don't know what is.

If I hadn't watched Coyote vs ACME, I wouldn't have seen the trailer (which misrepresents the plot, and also the tone of the movie) ... But yeah I'm in the "way better than the trailer lead me to expect" camp

I think, yeah. I Hope "Wildwood" wouldn't Flop Too?

You're definitely in the minority. Cuz I freakin' loved it. Fyi, I'm definitely biased cuz I'm Filipino. 😅

I don’t know why it’s flopping in the USA the box office last weekend , I think it’s maybe people went to see the re release of Avengers Endgame instead of Forgotten Island, yeah Avengers Endgame has been re release in theaters. Well people should not watch that and go watch Forgotten Island instead, I was really hoping it will hit 1 Billion in a few months, but I guess it won’t happen due to a box office flop, but maybe it won’t be a flop in a few months, if the movie doesn’t hit 1 billion, I have a feeling it will hit either 400 million or 500 million.

Why am I not surprised? People started hyping the movie too early

this is a hit but later

Yes the marketing may have indeed effected the final product, because they FORGOT to actually market it properly 😅

Somebody is a jinx

I don't know, but where I live the movie just got out two days ago. Most Families also are having a hard time in saving money, because things are getting expensive etc.

If you analyze market behaviour, Gen Z watch by themselves/ pay for themselves. Parents watch and pay for the whole family. Economy is fcked.

Kpop Demon Hunters had the right idea hitting streaming first (probably wasn't their call though). Then everyone was asking for them just to release it in theatres. People who have already seen the movie like 10 times already would've still showed up to a theatrical showing.

For me though, the reason KDH landed with me is because at first I thought it be a stupid parody or low budget kids film with a title like that. I saw Soda Pop on YouTube and was like, "there is no way a movie that put this much production value into a song can be that bad".

Forgotten Island though, to me it has nothing outside of just being another movie in a sea of movies. Maybe if I didn't work much or had more money to spend, I could afford to just go and see a movie for the sake of seeing a movie. But now, a movie really needs to tickle my fancy for me to even humor going to the cinema for it.

You didn’t like the movie but you want people still watch it.

It’s a must watch on the big screen💯

Sorry, ONLY 12 MILL 😭

Its the marketing. The trailer is not enticing

Bro the last add i saw for this movie was 2 weeks ago

We have bigger fish to catch like Dune Doomsday. Also, after Odyssey and Spiderman BND many people just can't afford it

This movie deserves to do well at the box office.

The studio showed the movie on cinema con, comic con, ssw....and they are surprised that fans are not buying tickets 😂 WTF

could have been the other movies that came out?

I loved it- it was wide fun especially if you like anime

majority of the viewers liked the film. Many people doesnt know it exists. I think dreamworks is strategizing it to be a sleeper hit. The release were gradual & seems they are aiming for awards which will hype the film more when they put it on streaming.

The trailers make it look completely obnoxious.

I watched it again today, it hits better

I saw an ad for Forgotten Island nearly every time I went to the movies for at least the past three months.

that film almost reused the similar character designs from Pixar's Hopper's

No, I agree with the other people. The trailers were kinda bad and generic. When I saw the trailers, I wasn't hyped at all. I only watched it because the people in my group watched it. The movie was actually a lot better than I expected.

You mentioned previously the Who Let The Dogs Out in the trailer, honestly, I don't know what that was about either. Like the trailer is misrepresenting the plot. The trailer makes it sound like the longer they stay, the more they forget. Totally not what it was in the movie.

What planet do you live on? Because the real world didn't see any marketing for this movie.

I haven’t seen a movie in theaters since Deadpool and Wolverine in 2024….bc it’s expensive and I can just watch streaming when it comes out. I don’t have that money.

So sad for this. Marketing should do better. DreamWorks should step it up.

Watched it 2 times! Love it!

It was a great movie

Going to the movies is expensive these days and this movie looks like it could be woke. I don't want to spend my limited money on a bad movie. I'll give it a chance when it comes out on streaming.

Obsession barely showed up on my feed before it’s release and yet it made money.

I loved this movie, but I was hesitant to watch it. The trailer made it feel like just more 3D animation slop. But the animation, story telling, and pace were actually really well done. I hope more people give it a chance as the word gets out

I have never heard about this movie. I just watched because my kids wanted to see this, and then I was surprised, I love it!

No that's not the reason it's because it came out the same day as Avengers Endgame Encore I'm so confused why didn't DreamWorks delay this movie to February 2027 and let Cocomelon flop instead so thanks alot Encore.

Maybe it was lack of marketing because I've never heard of this movie

Cuz the Phil sucks, it's all corrupt

i loved the movie.

I din't know about this movie until we walked into the theatre building. Thought was going to watch Resident Evil. 8.5/10

Marketing was bad

You aint wrong

I liked it it was good

STOP BEING EXAGGERATED! 20MILLION DOLLARS is just EARNED FROM SEPTEMBER 25 TO SEPTEMBER 27, 3 DAYS
Is this movie showing only in cinema for 3 days?

I feel like the reason is failing is because most Americans can’t relate with the Filipino culture or references

I never got the ads until today....
