Even though there will be better reviewed films this year with better target demographics, the sheer absence of animated films at the box office for so long should result in a solid debut for Hotel Translyvania with Looper potentially capitalizing on its genre roots and young men demographic.
Consensus
Below is a list of what we have come to a general consensus on. The number in parens represents the percentage of our contributors who agree with the statement.
Hotel Transylvania: It all depends on how funny it looks to you.
Looper: Could be a crowd pleaser and a critics’ favorite.
Won’t Back Down: We’ve seen it before, so what is the point?
Pitch Perfect: Fans of Glee may be most interested in this little flick.

ThoughtsA loveable Dracula looks less silly than it might have been. A possible Animated Feture contender. |
ThoughtsMay be entertaining enough for kids, but Oscar will ignore it. |
