Simple, get Karl Urban or Ryan Gosling to play Bruce Wayne and wear the Bats costume while having Nicolas Cage provide the Bats voice

Hollywood is finally realizing horror films, kids movies, and A list comedies dont need to be released in a specific season to be a hitWhodathunk it?

Bruce Campbell as Jim Henson in a biopic about his life...Oh and a Muppet movie with RDJ & JLaws as the male & female lead with Benedict Cumberbauch as the villain and some scene-stealing cameos by Johnny Depp, Mel Gibson, and Emma Stone

Wilford Brimley and Kathy Bates should start in a buddy cop movie together Make it happen, Hollywood!!!!!

With that Monday hold, it'll cross $100 million by August 2nd at the latest!

Yeah it's always hard to just pick 100 films and rank them. 250 would be perfect IMO but I know most ppl wouldn't take the time to list that many lol

Get Chloe Moretz to play the villain, have Natalie Portman in a supporting role, and get Helen Mirren to be a wisecracking head of the CIA ... the perfect Summer 2015 female-targeting comedy blockbuster!

Yeah honestly I'd say this weekend and the next will be the ones where it's more relaxed when it comes to holds/drops I'd say only PR, WWZ Conjuring, Red 2, and RIPD will have sizable drops since they're all genre films - animation and comedy will be completely unscathed this weekend Pacific Rim: 43% (9.3 million) WWZ: 44% (2.9 million) Conjuring: 45% (Wolvie isn't its target demo) Red 2: 55% (doesn't seem to have great WOM) RIPD: 70% (this'll just crash and burn out of the dollar theaters before Labor Day ) The rest of the drops? Monsters University: 14% (4.4 million) The Heat: 17% (7.8 million) Despicable Me 2: 18% (20.5 million) Turbo: 22% (16.7 million) Grown Ups 2: 26% (14.6 million) With a 62% increase for The Way Way Back (3.9 million) It'll be the first weekend with breathing room since June 7

If 2001: A Space Odyssey is sci-fi, then Gravity certainly is... and I could see it being more successful than every sci-fi film this year except Star Trek 2 based on the buzz it's getting... Sandra Bullock and Alfonso Cuaron are getting some Oscar talk - George Clooney will settle for Monuments Men Elysium could do fairly well considering there's no competition until Riddick (Mortal Instruments and KA2 will both do meh)

Never doubt a feel-good drama at Christmas - but yeah I'd say it could do well since it'll probably be advertised as a movie for the whole familyMonuments Men has too much competition to perform like Argo - Hobbit 2, Anchorman 2, and Jack Ryan will have the adult market cornered plus American Hustle, Walter Mitty, Madea, Labor Day, Walking With Dinosaurs and possibly Foxcatcher. It'll be a lot more crowded this Christmas

Since when is Turbo automatically a flop? Overseas grosses? The fact that there's only one big movie next week? So it should have a tiny drop next week with no kiddie competition until July 31? I could still see it getting $100 million to $115 million total DOM and maybe double that or the same overseas. Not a flop, but definitely an underperformer

True... they could have written an original song for the movie

Then a montage of a bear learning to fish in sync with cheesy interpretative dance style Celtic music loses that right as well.Wreck it Ralph was a lot more inspired that the same tired "princess disobeys parents and brings curse upon the land"If Pixar had made a dark LOTR/Dark Crystal style fairy tale with a grim vibe to it, then I'd give Brave some credit

I'd say Saving Mr. Banks1: 2.5 million2: 14.5 million (19)3: 16 million (55)4: 13.5 million (86)5: 7.5 million (97)6: 6.5 million/8 million (108)7: 5 million (114)8: 4 million (120)9: 3.5 million/4 million (126)10: 2.5 million (129)11: 2 (132)12: 1.5 (134)13: Total - 140 millionI'd say Wolf of Wall Street and Monuments Men are the only other contenders that possibly could do this well

Brave was a half baked mother daughter princess movie - the trailers had me expecting an epic war of the bears vs Scotsmen type deal. They should have let Brenda Chapman do her bolder, darker vision.I consider it Pixars worst and only truly poor filmWreck it Ralph was the most Pixar-like film of 2012 and it had enough heart that I still feel it should have won Best Animated Feature. I remember nothing about Brave but I know all of the characters from Wreck it Ralph

Don't forget Identity Thief! Lol

Have you heard of Now You See Me? (50% on RT) or maybe The Heat? (61% on RT) - both will have a 3.5 to 4.5x multiplier

I was talking about domestic appeal since this is the DOM box office forum but I'd agree with you there - but Denzel's movies must turn a profit at some point because they keep giving him $70 to $100 million dollar budgets. Brad Pitt is another star I forgot - WWZ only made more than $150 million because of him. Johnny Depp's appeal is kinda falling though - Dark Shadows and Lone Ranger. I'm hoping Transcendence and Into the Woods bring us back the old Depp who made great movies and make some nice box office cash too. Jolie's action movies tend to be a little more expensive though ($100 to $150 million budgets) than Denzel so the barometer for success is a little lower for him.

Never doubt da Cage!!!!

Denzel Washington (aside from passion projects, he's the most reliable box office star out there) Melissa McCarthy (she's the reason Identity Thief made $100m - Jason Bateman's box office poison so no other reasons lol) Adam Sandler (when the film doesn't look explicably awful like Jack & Jill, That's My Boy, Little Nicky, etc) Robert Downey Jr. (he's the only reason that awful Due Date got past $100m and he basically made Sherlock Holmes bankable) Sandra Bullock (when she makes an intriguing movie - Proposal, Blind Side, Heat, etc... Gravity looks to be this too) Kevin Hart (he's slowly but surely making a name for himself - 2014 is the year he breaks out and joins the A list) Tyler Perry as Madea (when he's Madea, the movie will get $50 million minimum - the Christmas one could top $100m IMO) Steven Spielberg (if he's directing it, it'll make at least $60 million minimum at today's ticket prices) Yeah, other than that, I'd agree and say that there are no true stars anymore

20 million at least?!?! Great for the Conjuring!! I'd project: Friday - 23.5 million Saturday - 18 million Sunday - 13.5 million 55 million opening weekend - my extremely bold projection lol Considering it'll probably have at least a B+ CinemaScore, I'd say 120-160 million is definitely in the cards and would make up for any losses caused by Pacific Rim. Red 2 - it'll get decent legs: 22-23 million Turbo: Nice rebound after the decline on Thursday - it'll catch up next week against Wolverine: 23-24 million RIPD - yeah... take your 12 to 14 million and be happy lol seriously who thought this should be released this time of year?!? It would have done perfect in January-March when they're isn't much blockbuster competition. Hoping that Despicable Me 2 holds well - I'd like to see it zoom past 350 million.

I would say:Up - I thought it'd be a fun kids adventure movie... had no idea Ellie was in it or anything so it was a HUGE surprise lol. One of the best films of 2009

I would say Adam Sandler's Click - if you got Cameron Crowe to write & direct, pick some decent actors, and this could have been a great movie. I actually thought the last 10-15 minutes of the movie were the best part since they actually showed the true effect of the remote. With a real plot, and some non-immature gross-out gags, this could have been a great character study.

Agreed! And Jurassic Park IV isn't even locked for 250 million lol

Maybe it's just how things turned out? Why does there have to be a 50/50 distribution of men and women in every profession?
