The LEGO Movie 2 Estimated to Open Lower Than Expected

February 9, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The LEGO Movie 2 has been promoted heavily the past few months and it opens this weekend but the estimated earnings may fall short of what Warner Bros. was expecting. Variety is reporting that TLM2 will debut with an estimated $31 million which will be the third worst out of the LEGO movies that have been released in theaters so far. Warner Bros. estimated that the movie will debut around $50 million this weekend but forecasts fell short with it only taking in $8.5 million on Friday.

One of the reasons why The LEGO Movie 2 opened lower than estimated is because of the crazy weather that the US is having right now. Some places are still raining and snowing and people would rather stay home than risk going out in that kind of weather.

Another reason could be that people maybe burned out of LEGO movies. This is the fourth movie in five years which included a break in 2018 but it’s still quite a few in a short amount of time.

I’ve heard mixed reviews of TLM2 but more positive than negatives. The most common one is that it’s a good movie but not at good as the first one which is typical for movies with sequels. I’ll be checking it out again tomorrow to see if there’s anything I missed the first time around.

The LEGO Movie 2 Signed Minifigures Given Out Yesterday at LEGO Brand Stores

February 3, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Here’s a very interesting promotion item that only a handful of random LEGO Brand Stores were giving out yesterday to promote The LEGO Movie 2. Over on Reddit, there’s an image of a signed Will Arnett LEGO Batman minifigure and according to the thread, nine stores across the nation were giving out signed minifigures for people who made the first The LEGO Movie 2 purchase of the day. This particular one was from the LEGO Store at Paramus, NJ. I’m not sure if the minifigures are all of Will Arnett or a variety of the voice actors but I think this a really cool promotion for the movie since people didn’t know about it and people got it as a surprise that will probably be their highlight of the year. If you got one of these signed minifigs, let us in the comments below.

Update: It looks like the minifigures are from all the voice actors as there is a Tiffany Haddish Queen Watevra Wa’Nabi one from Twitter.

February 2, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

LEGO BrickHeadz The LEGO Movie 2 Emmet (41634)

There are some new building instructions for The LEGO Movie 2 LEGO BrickHeadz set that have been uploaded to LEGO’s servers. There characters that are included in the sets are Emmet (41634), Wyldstyle (41635), Benny (41636), and Sweet Mayhem. There’s no word on when they will be available on Shop@Home but I believe they will come out in March if they do get released. One of the more cooler parts from these sets is the printed 1×4 brick of the Classic Space logo.

If you remember back of October of last year, I reported that the LEGO BrickHeadz was rumored to be ending. I should clarify that the licensed BrickHeadz would be done however LEGO will still produce the in-house sets like the Seasonal ones and for their own IPs.
