27/70

Not to mention the number of theatrical releases in 1973 is about 1/5th that of 2017.

Ice Age: Apocalypse

I'm literally ugly-crying from laughter. Is there even a single actor that connects those 3 films, let alone the fact that it's not Chris Pratt?

Well yeah if the movie's as bad as IM2 then that's a possibility. I'm using the notion that it will be of the same quality as the first GOTG. It will open huge regardless, and the first *only* made $333m Dom. If the first had performed like say Spider-man, then I'd say it would be harder for GOTG2 to surpass its predecessor, much like Spider-man 2 in 2004, but GTOG didn't perform on that same explosive level. There's lots of room for this franchise to grow.

Guardians2 will for sure increase Dom. It was too well received not to, not to mention Chris Pratt's star power upgrade since the first. $375-$450m is the range imo.

A 3.25 multiplier on a $70m opening. Better than most summer tentpole multipliers.

What a grump.

They better not! The Shallows had a nice hold and I'm still secretly hoping it can hit $60m.

It boggles my mind that LoT cost $180m WITHOUT any rumors of a troubled production or costly reshoots. I realize that tentpoles typically cost upwards of 150m nowadays but this doesn't even seem all that heavily effect's driven. Sure there are CGI gorillas and lush landscapes but Rise of the Planet of the Apes, for example, cost under $100m to produce, and the extremely effects heavy sequel still doesn't match the budget for this at $170m. I'm just curious if anyone has any insights as to what could have ballooned the budget on this one so greatly. Full Disclosure: I haven't seen LoT yet so I'm basing my above bewilderment on the clips and trailers I've seen.

How will Universal be remaking a classic Disney film?

You misspelled hilarious.

Cloverfield might crawl fairly close to it's older sister film. Go go go!

Whoops yeah sorry meant to specify worldwide. I think domestically it's just about at 100m adjusted. Ok back to my hole I go.

Nearly 200m for a horror/monster film in 2008 is pretty big tbh.
