Harold And The Purple Crayon

[Hawkee]

How and why on earth did this get chosen to be made into a movie? I was surprised when I was doing commercial research on Youtube when I saw the first trailer for Harold And The Purple Crayon and was surprised and shocked at what they have done to Harold And The Purple Crayon. I read and had the book of Harold And The Purple Crayon as a little girl and it's a really cute story but why Harold is an adult is odd in this movie when in the Harold And The Purple Crayon book Harold is supposed to be a little boy and I don't know whose idea it was to turn Harold And The Purple Crayon into a movie but this movie looks like an odd version of the classic book. I don't know who plays Harold in this movie but I can predict that once Harold And The Purple Crayon debuts in theaters August 2nd it will knock Deadpool And Wolverine out of the #1 spot and become a hit family movie of the summer replacing Inside Out 2
What is your take of Harold And The Purple Crayon?

I also have a feeling that Harold And The Purple Crayon will get a low score at the box-office. I don't know why of all kids books Harold And The Purple Crayon got chosen to be made into a movie but the trailer I saw makes it very unappealing. What actor plays Harold in Harold And The Purple Crayon?

Harold and the Purple Crayon is actually one of the best-known children's books of the 20th century.

What I think they are expecting with Harold And The Purple Crayon is a fairly well-done version of the children's book but in my eyes this version just doesn't seem right to me. And having Zachary Levi play Harold in Harold And The Purple Crayon is odd. I can bet this movie will knock Deadpool And Wolverine from #1 to #3 at the box office and the movie Trap will get #2. But I think Harold And The Purple Crayon will be a flop and a failure like last year's Wonka was

Deadpool & Wolverine is looking at $94M in weekend #2, whereas Trap and Purple Crayon are looking at $22M combined.

That's a real high bar for Purple Crayon to reach.

How did Harold And The Purple Crayon do on opening day in theaters? Did it hit a home run and knock Deadpool and Wolverine out of the first place spot? I know that it was also competing with Trap

How are you saying that you think Purple Crayon will be a flop and failure and then expect it to knock a film doing $1 Billion globally?

This movie was never going to knock Deadpool out of the top spot. It flopped so hard Zachary Levi went on Twitter to complain that everyone was going to see that and not this. I don't even think it was going to touch Trap, either.
