UNDERDOG Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Bold prediction I have: I believe Justice League will be the highest grossing CBM of the year and the only one to gross over $1 billion. The after effects of BvS are still there and it's gonna take some work, but I believe with the combined effort of the good will Wonder Woman has given to JL, a possible scenario where they promote WW front and center in the marketing of JL, and, an optimistic prediction, good WOM based off of the general audiences enjoyment of Jason Momoa and Ezra Miller's portrayals, this movie will surprise people. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
department store basement Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 I have a feeling both Cars 3 and DM3 are going to be huuuuuge. Yes I know Cars 2 and Minions didn't have the greatest reputation but kids are coming to the theater more than ever now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCKillswitch123 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 (edited) MID-YEAR RETROSPECTIVE AND PREDICTIONS: TOP 5 BOX OFFICE STORIES OF THE YEAR SO FAR: 01. Wonder Woman - What this thing is doing is rather unprecedented. Sure, there have been leggy superhero blockbusters in the Summer season before, but they were either before the start of actual Summer (like Spider-Man, Iron Man or The Avengers, all May releases), or they were pre-golden age of superhero films (like The Dark Knight). Guardians Of The Galaxy was the only exception to the rule to this day, and that was a late Summer release (August) w/virtually no competition. WW has managed to gain family animated/female comedy-type legs for a 100M+ superhero tentpole opening in the heart of the Summer, and it's going to be the #1 DCEU film DOM in 6 weeks. That is unbelievable in 2017. The fact that it's going to come dangerously close to a film that opened 40M higher (GOTG V2) is staggering, to say the least. 02. Get Out - To this day, 5 horror movies have made over 200M DOM unadjusted for inflation: The Sixth Sense, Jaws, Ghostbusters, I Am Legend and The Exorcist. If you wanna discard Jaws, Ghostbusters and I Am Legend for being unconventional horror (Ghostbusters is more action/comedy, actually), then only 2 have made it that far. And even if you don't... that still makes Get Out, which cost 4.5M in production budget, the 6th highest grossing horror film ever DOM. Ridiculous to say the least. To make 33M OW, which absolutely crushed expectations on its own - I thought Don't Breathe's 26M would be a massive OW overperformance - and leg it out to 175M is otherwordly. To do that, despite being an R-rated horror film w/no starpower and a 4.5M budget released at the end of February.... now that's just absolutely legendary. Especially given the competition it had to face (Logan, Kong, BATB, Rangers, Boss Baby...). Those sexy 250M+ WW it made are the cherry on top of a scary good cake. 03. Beauty And The Beast - Although not many didn't see it coming, its performance was still quite beastly (no pun intended). Only the 8th film in history to cross 500M DOM (and half of that list is exclusively Disney, between BATB, The Force Awakens, The Avengers and Rogue One). Let's just leave it at that cause what don't we know about BATB's epic run already. 04. Hidden Figures - Wanna talk about Get Out having a 33/175 run? This made only 6M less on a 10M smaller wide-OW. I think it might still be playing in some theaters here and there (it was at the beggining of the Summer, at least). I still rank Get Out higher, cause it did better numbers on a smaller budget + much more difficult genre and rating combo to achieve those heights, but it's undeniable that HF was a leggy monster. Opening to 23M, just barely outdoing Rogue One for #1 that weekend, and then grossing all the way to 169M DOM is stupifyingly amazing, especially for a movie about NASA officers starring Taraji P. Henson that wasn't even a frontrunner for any Oscars (besides I guess Best Adapted Screenplay, mayyyyyybe Best Supporting Actress for Octavia too). It definitely benefitted from a strong family audience, that I can tell, and it struck a strong cord w/just about everybody else. I do think that it was also helped by the fact that the would-be Oscar contender juggernaut La La Land suffered from a poor release strategy by Lionsgate and HF took advantage of that open spot for the awards contender breakout through incredible wom, an actually worthy release strategy and all, but ultimately, both movies did fantastic business, but HF was the more fantastic of the two. 05. Split - Not quite as impressive after Get Out came out, but still an incredible achivement for a January-released horror film to make 140M DOM. One from M. Night Shyamalan, nonetheless, who has had some rough years in his past. A breakout was iminent considering the impressive numbers that The Visit pulled, despite having mixed wom (compared to the very good/great wom for Split), a September release date (and September might be as much, if not more of a slump month than January at this point), the horrible will of Shyamalan's name directly after the Happening/Last Airbender/After Earth triple punch of mega suck, an unknown cast and the attachment of the controversial found footage concept. It had all of that working against it, and it still pulled strong numbers. So it's safe to say that Split, which was under much better circumstances than The Visit, was expected to do better... but not THIS better. 40M OW and 140M DOM... pretty fucking impressive for an original James McAvoy vehicle. PREDICTIONS FOR #1's OF THE REMAINS OF THE YEAR (and I had this long, elaborate set of explanations for each choice, but my fucking mouse was a bitch and deleted everything... so without further ado): June 30-July 2 - Despicable Me 3 July 7-9 - Spider-Man: Homecoming July 16-18 - War For The Planet Of The Apes July 21-23 - Dunkirk July 28-30 - The Emoji Movie August 4-6 - The Dark Tower August 11-13 - Annabelle: Creation August 18-20 - The Hitman's Bodyguard August 25-27 - The Hitman's Bodyguard September 1-3 - The Hitman's Bodyguard September 8-10 - It September 15-17 - It September 22-24 - Kingsman: The Golden Circle September 29-October 1 - Kingsman: The Golden Circle October 6-8 - Blade Runner 2049 October 13-15 - Mother!

I really hope it's as good as the trailers make it seem I probably could be wrong about it grossing that much Edited August 9, 2017 by the beast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakiyyah6 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Under 300mil predictions for JL are silly and are only made out of bias and not actual potential. I don't believe the film is touching 400mil either, especially if it gets the usual bad Snyder reviews. I think even if it's an epic piece of garbage like BvS it will still crack 300 million, even if barely. Also I have no idea why Thor is expected to have a better increase than Guardians of the Galaxy 2, which was coming off of a greatly received film? So BvS bad reception is going to cause JL to go under 300mil but Thor The Dark World's lackluster reception is going to cause the sequel to have a better increase than Guardians 2? And Hulk, who can't even carry his own film, is going to help Thor 3 get to 300mil but Wonder Woman's stellar reception and 800+mil gross is not going to help Justice League at all? Give me a break. Predictions like that are just as ridiculous as the Ant-Man box office comparisons to Wonder Woman and the Dunkirk will do Inception numbers fantasies. When I predict ridiculous numbers, I at least acknowledge how ridiculous and unlikely they are. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrathOfHan Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 What's the fun in predicting if you can't even go a little loony now and then? I'm not even a huge CBM fan anymore. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I predict ridiculous numbers, I at least acknowledge how ridiculous and unlikely they are. JL is not exclusively a ZS joint anymore though, I don't mean to sound insensitive but whatever they are doing with reshoots will most likely improve the film and could even sway critics, it is a complete wild card now. I agree because of WW unprecedented success it will probably break $300m even with scathing reviews, and am thinking it will probably gross somewhere from $350-$400m now. Also there hasn't been a Hulk film since 2008, the market was completely different then, and it is film rights that have kept them from making another, which would most likely gross $200m+ if made now. Not so sure TLJ will hit $800m anymore, the hype doesn't seem to be nearly as strong as it was for TFA, but then again they've barely begun to market it, thinking somewhere from $700-$750m atm though.
