  1. 2017 is scheduled to be a competitive year at the box office between superhero films. So vote for which film you believe will be the highest domestic grossing superhero movie at the box office. Voting closes on March 2, 2017, when Logan is released.

     

    I have made the votes public so that we know who votes for which film. That way no one can vote after all the superhero movies are released and the winner is clear (and yes, that did happen with a lot of voters in 2014).

  2. I think that GOTG 2 wins the superhero war next year. This will be Disney/Marvel's most vulnerable year in the superhero showdown this decade. Since Disney bought Marvel at the end of 2009, Disney/Marvel has won the superhero showdown every year. However, facing Wonder Woman and Justice League will be no picnic. If Disney/Marvel wins the superhero showdown in 2017, then I think they will win every year this decade because 2018 and 2019 are both looking strong. That is quite the level of dominance.

    Marvel really fear using females as leads. It took them 9 years to decide to make a movie about a female superhero. I always wanted a black widow movie , but I guess it's too late now.

     

    I guess you missed it when Catwoman and Elektra both tanked at the box office. No one really wanted to invest in female superhero movies after that. And if Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel tank, studios will once again not want to invest in female superhero films.

    Studios have never done better movies than today.

    Your whole point is moot and seeded in your very peculiar tastes.

     

    I agree. I don't get the argument that this summer has been rough. In fact, I have heard the same argument after every summer for the past 3 summers. This summer has given us 3 massive blockbusters that all rank among the top 200 domestic grossing films of all-time (adjusted) in Captain America: Civil War, Finding Dory and The Secret Life of Pets. This summer has been quite successful.

    I hope you are right. I don't want to wait another 7 years for a new Trek movie. Also with CBS's bizarre pay-service for Star Trek I can see that show bombing hard, and I don't want that to happen either.

     

    They are making a new Star Trek TV show, so it is possible that the next Star Trek movie will be later rather than sooner (not that they both can't occur simultaneously). However, I am sure that there will be another Star Trek movie. There are a lot of Trekkies, so Star Trek has an excellent built-in fanbase.

    • X-Men: Apocalypse will do less than half of Deadpool DOM.
    • Alice Through The Looking Glass will probably do less than Tomorrowland, finishing nearly 250M below the original Alice.
    • Batman V Superman and Civil War will both do less than Iron Man 3.
    • Kung Fu Panda 3, despite the massive China market growth, will make less money than either one of the others.
    • Zootopia will top a billion dollars (and The Jungle Book will get there too).

    Said no one ever before this year. Pure batshit insanity.

     

    I have to disagree about the Civil War under IM3 bullet point. Before the year began, most people never thought that Civil War would gross over $400M. There was a huge debate as to whether Civil War would gross over $300M. The general consensus for Civil War didn't change until around the middle of April.

  8. This is a really interesting list and you did a good job assembling the data. I think you are a little confused about what Marvel Phase 2 is though. The Avengers is a Marvel phase 1 movie.

     

    The Marvel Phase 1 movies are all the movies leading up to the Avengers, with the Avengers being the last phase 1 film. Phase 2 is all the movies from Iron Man 3 to Ant-Man. Phase 3 is Captain America: Civil to Infinity War 2. I think you're better off calling the Disney/Marvel films "MCU films" instead of Phase 2 because you're synopsis is clearly talking about the MCU and not limiting itself to only the Marvel phase 2 films.

    I am definitely on Team Disney/Marvel moreso than Team DC (though I do see all the DC movies, too), but I have no problem with BvS/DC fans crowing a bit about CACW's failure to be another "Avengers", hell even another "Ultron". You guys took TONS of grief around here - unfairly, IMO - over BvS failing to be another Dark Knight, so you deserve some payback.

     

    Just goes to show how fickle this business is: I've been tracking box office since 1982, and yet I still get surprised. If three months ago someone had told me BvS would get beaten DOM and WW by Zootopia and that CACW would struggle to pass Deadpool DOM, I'd have asked them if they'd checked their meds recently.

     

    In all fairness, BvS won't even be another Batman Forever when you adjust for inflation.

    Nolan was technically only an executive producer on BVS. He actually barely had anything to do with the production of the film. Plus to me, there are a few more cringe worthy moments in BVS then Talia's death scenes (Martha being one of them), which is only three seconds, and didn't even necessarily even bug me in the first place.

     

    Also I'm not some huge Nolan fanboy either. I'm a fan of his work, but he's hardly my favorite director ever.

     

    I really didn't mind the Talia death scene at all. However, BvS just had so much wrong. Lex Luthor acting more like the Joker than Lex Luthor is one. The whole Martha thing is another. BvS was just a bad movie.

    Piracy will reduce if theaters don't rip off people with over-priced food and drinks. That's stealing.

    Number one, that is not true. Piracy is about making money off of someone elses work. It will not reduce because the price of food is cheaper .

     

    More importantly, theaters lose money on showing movies, even at the high prices they charge. The only reason they are profitable is because of the over priced food. Theaters would rather lower ticket prices than reduce the price of food. The movie studio gets part of the ticket price but the food is all profit.

    I just think Piracy of blockbusters is far down the list of worries on this planet. 

     

    Films are earning more than ever box office wise so it's not that bad and releasing films worldwide at once rather than letting USA have it first is a major plus, why should America get everything first? 

    Films arent earning more box office wise. The major blockbusters are but the average film is not. Which is why there is this shift to almost only making blockbusters or very small budgeted films.

     

    Most people do not want to leave their homes but then they can wait for the dvd or for it to come to cable. By pirating the movie, people are essentially stealing from others to make profits for thesemselves. It is wrong and it really hurts movie theaters who lose customers.

     

    The movie companies are American corporations so it makes sense that their movies would open domestically before they do internationally or at the same time. But because of piracy, they open internationally first, which again hurts the rest of us. People who pirate movies should get a real job and stop leeching off of the hard work of others.

  13. Piracy, besides being illegal, ruins things for everyone else. It contributes to the declining box office receipts, which is one of the reasons that Hollywood doesn't make many mid-budget films anymore. It's also the main reason that movies don't always open domestically before they open internationally. I am not a fan of piracy.
