So, this is something I've been wondering for a while. How long do you guys think it will be until a movie that meets all of the following criteria is released?

  • Theatrically released
  • Animated
  • Produced in the United States
  • Financially Successful (at least 2x production budget)
  • Rated PG-13 or R
  • Not a comedy
  • Earns at least $100 million worldwide
 
K-Pop almost fits this bill, although apparently it was only rated PG and only made $24 million against a $100m budget, though if you factor in the streaming numbers it did gangbusters. Plus it was #1 at the box office at least twice IIRC, which is not nothing.
 
How long do you think it'll be before we get a theatrical movie meeting all these criteria?

To celebrate the fact that I got three weeks off from work for rest, I watched today the latest installment in the separate Minions series of movies. What I loved was the unique logo variation of the Universal logo, which was akin to the plot taking place in the late 1800s
