Jennifer Lawrence loves Dumb and Dumber?!? She's the greatest actress ever now lol... get her to be Lloyd or Harry's daughter!! Have her be like a Mensa scientist on the verge of winning a Nobel Peace Prize it would be huge!!
I'm pretty sure the majority of movies break even in the long haul - maybe 30 or 40 years later, but they all break even at some point, aside from maybe Pluto Nash or a few ultra bombs.
But kids movies are the most trailer sensitive movies - if it doesn't garner a big reaction from the kiddies... probably not going to make much money, like Planes for example
Action movies are in the middle - if they have an interesting premise and a good star like the Rock, or Mark Wahlberg - $20 million opening weekend is pretty guarenteed, with a few exceptions like Snitch of course.
Hmm...

Yeah I could see Monsters University topping Lone Ranger - not impossible, but Disney might fire some people because of it lol
Wow, I remember when the AmStar 12 opened in December 2005, and I saw King Kong for my 10th birthday so many memories there!! I've never seen that theater packed except for Spider-Man 3 and Shrek 3 - pretty empty otherwise.
Robert Downey Jr. and Jennifer Lawrence in a new Muppet movie together - summer 2016: make it happen Disney!! Promise RDJ he won't have to do Iron Man 4 get Benedict Cumberbauch to play the villain too! and include a cameo by Emma Stone!
Daniel Day Lewis and Kevin Hart in a buddy cop movie - pompous method actor and street-smart detective have to save Hollywood from a Mexican drug cartel
Adam Sandler and Channing Tatum in Independence Day 2
Sandra Bullock and Hugh Jackman in a formulaic courtroom drama - with a sci-fi twist lol
Jim Gaffigan and Naomi Watts should star in a rom-com together! Falsetto voice: "Oh, he suggested that! That poor Naomi Watts has to see him with his shirt off! Hey mister... there are children watching this!!" lololololol!!
Other than that... Gary Oldman and Tom Hanks could be a good pairing for some sort of political thriller? Maybe Jessica Chastain and Gabriel Iglesias could make a horror comedy together? lol Melissa McCarthey and Jamie Foxx could work! Or Bencio del Toro and Emily Blunt in some sort of pretensious indie drama
Ooh! One more idea: a crime spoof with Bradley Cooper and Rebel Wilson
Well considering its supposed to make 40% of DM2's 5 day gross I'd wager it's doable especially with 2 million in previewsAnd Kevin Hart will get 20 million for a concert film? Think Like a Man 2 will be HUGE lol!!!
Yeah Think Like a Man 2 could break out - and make 105-135 million domestically. That's what happens when you don't just advertise to black people lol (Tyler Perry, etc)
Only 5 summer movies left that I wanna see:Monsters UniversityDespicable Me 2The ConjuringNow You See MeThe Great GatsbyThe rest seem like Redbox material lol
