At this point, with all of Zootopia/Finding Dory/Moana looking like locked-in contenders and the tendency of voters in this category to reward skilled animation over script (see, the Lego snub), I think this category probably results in the biggest WTF of the year as the vote split between the three allows Kubo and the Two Strings to take the win.

Highest grossing 2017 Superhero Film -Voting ends March 2, 2017
Ray G replied to Walt Disney's topic in Box Office Discussion
It's gonna be Lego Batman. GotG holds mostly flat from its first installment, hitting 350 or so. Spider-Man: Homecoming suffers a bit from the Batman Begins effect and does around 300. Justice League has the biggest opening yet for the DCEU but suffers from the same bad legs as the others in the franchise. Lego Batman brings in both the kids and the geeks to take in over 450M and take the Silver for 2017's overall box office race. -
1. Star Wars: Episode VIII - 870M 2. Guardians of the Galaxy 2 - 435M 3. Lego Batman - 390M 4. Justice League - 365M 5. Beauty and the Beast - 360M 6. Wonder Woman - 345M 7. Despicable Me 3 - 330M 8. Spider-Man: Homecoming - 325M 9. Fast 8 - 318M 10. Thor: Ragnarok - 288M Honorable Mention - Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (13th place, 245M, biggest surprise of the year)

It feels like La La Land is going to run away with this, probably with Denzel winning Best Actor to minimize the backlash.

Star Trek Beyond and Ghostbusters box office: What Went Wrong
Ray G replied to grim22's topic in Box Office Discussion
Are you familiar with the term "black swan"? A unique, rare event that is impossible to predict. That's what Fan4stick was. Word of mouth was so bad that people were returning their tickets for Friday after hearing Thursday reports. There was NO way Ghostbusters was ever doing those numbers, barring apocalyptic critical response. Their biggest mistake was doubling down on making this a Paul Feig movie as opposed to a reboot/sequel to a beloved franchise. Thus, it performed like a Paul Feig movie, instead of the blockbuster it needed to be given the budget. -

It's over 100. I'm predicting a roughly 35-40% drop, due to incredible word of mouth and a lot of the Huntsman audience switching movies when they read the reviews. I don't see this having quite Zootopia's legs, but something similar. -
