<\/a>In my box office posts<\/a> I regularly bring up the so called analysts which come out every year spelling the end for Pixar with their next release.<\/p>\n

As we both know, once each movie’s numbers come in they’re proven wrong. So the question is, why do they keep predicting<\/a> the same thing year after year? In their defense, it isn’t so easy selling\/buying a story about a rat or an old man, but it’s Pixar and with that comes a guarantee which speaks for itself. You’d think they’d know by now that the studio has established a trusted, reliable brand and that normal demographics just don’t beat a well told story. Now it’s pretty much impossible for industry analysts to correct their mistake since Up’s release is in full force (at almost $270 million<\/a> in US box office) but it’s never too late to admit a mistake. A HUGE<\/span> mistake!<\/p>\n

Leading the pack in Wall Street spelling doom for Up was Richard Greenfield from Pali Research who admits to The New York Times<\/a> that he was "dead wrong." Dead wrong, indeed. With Toy Story 3 landing in theatres in less than a year, one has to wonder why it had to take almost two decades for ysts to get the big picture. I can’t imagine anyone thinking TS3 will fail, but seriously, after 10 straight hits in a row will anyone be brave enough to doubt the Lamp ever again? The reason I bring it up is because I can’t imagine the shame that comes with admitting such a huge mistake after potentially scaring away Disney investors and retailers who could’ve made a bigger profit from Up. Good thing Pixar’s not all about the money, still I can’t help but think of all the CD’s, toys and other products that consumers, manufacturers and retailers are missing out on!<\/p>\n

I do applaud Greenfield for admitting his slip up (which speaks for many others over countless years) and I hope this can make those in the industry even more confident in Pixar. Not that they’ll need it, who wouldn’t want a piece of Toy Story 3?!<\/p>\n
