  1. Great list so far! I love Pixar animated movies (except Inside Out - overrated, hope it missed the list), Alien, Aliens, Good-Bad-Ugly, Silence of the Lambs, Private Ryan, Mad Max, Return of the Jedi and many more on that list. But Braveheart and Casino Royale out of Top100 It hurts a little bit.
  2. Another day, another classic run of Batman BATMAN RETURNS This film is remembered as a huge box office disappointment due to the huge decrease from its predecessor (-35% domestically / over $140M worldwide). The expectations were huge, a lot of people expected it would be this summer T2, and the second Batman didn't managed. But it was a big hit anyway, with some impressive numbers. The film opened with $45.69 million ($47.72M with Thursday previews) which was the all time 3-day record that time (beaten one year later by Jurassic Park). Also, Returns was the biggest movie of the summer and the third biggest movie domestically 1992. Some numbers... Production Budget: $80 million* *Estimated around $80M, but Warner Bros. claimed only $55 million in 1992 Marketing costs: $12 million** **the-numbers.com had it at $15 million some years ago Domestic: $162.83 million [#26 biggest film of all time when it finished its run] Foreign: $103.99 million Worldwide: $266.82 million [#6 biggest film of 1992] Adjusted number for the film right now is $359.4 million (according to BoxOfficeMojo), without 3D and IMAX, which is pretty impressive - bigger than Thor: Ragnarok, Spider-Man: Homecoming, BvS, Suicide Squad, Man of Steel, and more sh films form recent years... Batman Returns never hit the screens of Polish cinemas, which is odd, cause Batman was very popular character in Poland in 90s. :/ Rare trailer:
  3. I disagree. Batman Forever has some great cinematography, but the nomination itself was enough. Braveheart was the very best this year IMHO, but I am the guy who prefer 2.35 : 1 rather than 1.85 :1 aspect ratio, so... Another fun fact - this song ^^ was composed, performed and released in 1994 as a single, it has also different clip that year, without any Batman moments. They re-release it as a Batman song in June 1995, but it wasn't a true song for this film. This was Both songs
  4. You guys have never seen The Terminator? What the hell are You? The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi are so high on this list... ... 200 positions too high.
  5. I'll show You how to start such a topic Batman Forever - Smashing hit of 1995. One of the most famous and most important film of my childhood! After disappointing box office results of Batman Returns - although it was a big hit - and box office flop of Batman: Mask of the Phantasm (Christmas 1993) no one expected that another Batman will be a big deal and no one really wanted another Batman, especially without Michael Keaton in leading role. Then Batman Forever happened. It was not only a surprise hit, but also one of THE blockbusters of the 90s. Production Budget: $95 million* *Estimated between $90-100M, according to Joel Schumacher "It was the biggest movie of the year and the cheapest “Batman” ever made. It cost under $100 million" Marketing costs: $12-30 million* *Depending on various sources, before June 1995 it was ~$12M, but probably this costs increased a lot after the film's premiere weekend Domestic: $184.03 million [#24 biggest film of all time when it finished its run] Foreign: $152.5 million Worldwide: $336.53 million [#6 biggest film of 1995] Batman Forever was the very first movie in history with over $20 million from one day (Friday, June 16th) and over $50 million opening weekend ($52.78 million - the biggest opening weekend for almost 2 years)**. Thanks to the better reception among the viewers, it had better legs than Tim Burton's Batman Returns (Forever opening weekend was 28,7% of all domestic gross, while Returns did 29,3% of all outcome during it's first weekend+previews; also Forever was in cinemas for 21 weeks, Returns "only" for 18 weeks). It was the biggest movie of the summer and for a long time it seemed that the third Batman will be the biggest movie of the year domestically. Unfortunately, Toy Story won that battle thanks to re-issues on February and March 1996. **Batman Forever broke almost every record during its opening weekend - biggest single day, opening day, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, 1-3 days gross, but because of big theaters number (2,842) its avg. per theater was smaller than Jurassic Park ($18,572 to $19,561). It was the first Batman film without Thursday previews. Below you can find some interesting articles/interviews about Batman Forever - its marketing, results, impact and legacy: http://variety.com/1995/more/news/dark-knight-becomes-bat-lite-99127245/ https://www.nytimes.com/1995/07/03/business/why-studios-bet-summer-blockbuster-with-bid-debts-big-budgets-hir-are-more.html?pagewanted=2 http://variety.com/2014/film/markets-festivals/qa-joel-schumacher-on-batman-ben-affleck-and-the-batsuit-nipples-1201327631/ https://www.forbes.com/sites/scottmendelson/2015/06/16/20-years-ago-batman-forever-was-the-jurassic-world-of-its-day/#7c42d61b305c https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/batman-forever-story-behind-surprise-802804 Fragments of Variety article (19th June 1995): Batman Forever adjusted number is around $387.5M today. Its worldwide gross would have been over $700M now (without 3D, IMAX and China of course). If anyone want to say something about BF, or know some interesting facts about it - maybe another articles from 1995 - this is topic for You! Sorry if I made any mistake. I'm from Poland, my English isn't perfect.
  6. Shi... Damn You guys, I love this movies. Predator Logan It's A Wonderful Life The Winter Soldier Heat Get Out Good list so far.
  7. It's not that bad. Although, it would be much better without this yellowish-pink filter on Cruise (bad photo btw) / left side of the poster. The composition inside M:I with all this characters in the middle is fine. The Chinese poster is worse, only the action in the bottom-right with hellicopters looks cool, the rest is
  8. Top 250 so far for me: 86. Unforgiven (1992) - #31 on my list 88. Avatar (2009) - #67 on my list 91. Good Will Hunting (1997) - #34 on my list 206. Leon: The Professional (1994) - #7 on my list 208. JFK (1991) - #80 on my list 215. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest (2006) - #59 on my list The rest is mostly good. I only don't get it why TLJ and Wonder Woman are on this list.
  9. Very good hold domestic. I still believe in +$700M and beating BP. OS should be over $1B + at least $300M from China. $2B WW is the target. I hope it will get there and will do a little bit more than WW for the 3rd spot of all time.
  10. Watch Rambo 2, trust me. It's a little bit forgotten, great piece of action picture and one of the most "fun" R-rated 80s film.
  11. Probably this Monday, maybe Sunday if the weekend drop wouldn't be hard.
  12. Batman >>> Black Panther Argue with that Also, You've never seen this movie until this year?!
  13. Wait! Final deadline is today? Okay, so I am updating my list I send it also by PM. Yes, 6 James Cameron films on my list, 3 of them in my Top10.
  14. 2010s: 6 2000s: 28 1990s: 35 1980s: 15 1970s: 11 1960s: 4 1950s: 1 Now, when I look at my list, I would write it very differently. I forgot about The Mask (1994), The Thing (1982), It's A Wonderful Life (1946), also now I would try to put Blade Runner 2049 and War of the Planet of the Apes (after re-watches) and Avengers: Infinity War (love it). Oh well, let's see the results, maybe won't be so bad.
  15. More like DOM will be at around $550-552 mln and OS about $870 mln + China at least $185 mln from China. $1.6B after Sunday is going to happen!
  16. Use this: http://lumiere.obs.coe.int/web/search/ Daylight - 319 734 tickets sold There's no data about the rest.
  17. Sly was a huuuge star in Poland in 90s when VHS market was in its prime. Also, I like his Dredd, better than the new one with Carl Urban.
  18. If the marketing will be right, and the movie will be good, Avengers 4 might increase from this one.
  19. Another great weekend for Avengers in Poland. IW is already the biggest superhero movie based on comic books in my country (after 1989). It beats Suicide Squad in just 12 days (11 without previews)! Sorry that all the titles are in polish, I couldn't find such a list with original titles. If we consider also films before 1989 (dark times in Poland, but with much, much bigger admission every year ) the biggest would be... Howard the Duck with over 3 million tickets sold. EDIT: Okay, IW isn't #1 yet if we consider Men in Black as superhero movies (also based on comic books) - 839 708 admission. I can't find right now precise number for Howard, and there's no data about Superman I-IV movies in Poland. Dark times, as I said.
