Keep the money in the family? What other reason could there be.

Mirren has some draw. I don’t know if her fanbase will come out for a horror film like this but it can do decent numbers. 8m OW/25m DOM

They need to move this to March and kick Tomb Raider to April.

Out. Aquaman has more room to breathe than Rampage which has to contend with Avengers. I honestly think WB should switch Rampage and Tomb Raider release dates. Tomb Raider won’t do well anywhere on the calendar atleast it won’t have that much competition in April and can quietly die.

Comparisons are to Big Eyes which was a difficult film to market and only made 14.4m. So I don’t think this will be the big Sundance BO hit. I think Tyrel and Wildlife could be a hits if marketed well.

I doubt its going to get over 1000 theaters with this PTA either. 800-900 is the widest its going to go.

lol its only two weeks into the new year. Seriously, Sony will likely be 5th for the year again. The only films that i could see being big hits for them would be Venom or Spiderman animated film.

They show the entire plot in these trailers for thrillers.

I hate the stagnated release that SPC has been doing with CMBN. I feel like they waited too long and buzz has already peaked for it. Molly’s Game was probably affected by The Post, they likely share the same audiences. STX should have kept the November release date.

african american starring films are not given full international releases so those grosses are misleading. Usually they only get released in UK/Australia and sometimes africa but rarely anywhere else. Also American skewing comedies/dramas rarely do well overseas so i dont think you should single out only black-led films. This has becomes a narrative that hollywood continues to push even though they know that films with black stars do not get the same publicity or marketing as other films. Thus it becomes a self-fulling prophecy.

January is clearly a great time to release horror films

Rebecca Ferguson who? They were selling this with Jackman and Zendaya/Zac Efron.

Call me By Your Name will not be close to Brokeback Mountain. It won’t even pass Moonlight.

Good recovery.

Good for Showman I guess. Still needs great overseas numbers to break even.

No but Scott at Forbes suggested that Sony should keep in the business of these mid-budgeted live action family/adventure films. Barbie could be a hit for them and replacing Amy Schumer (who isnt kid friendly), with Anne Hathaway (who definitely is) is a good start.

how is saturday looking for both titles?

It seems like the Ghostbusters reboot, didnt really bring anything new to the table and thats why it failed. Jurassic World had the park actually open and Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle let players into the game world. I dont think those crossovers will work; it seems like the concepts/novelties are what is attracting people rather than who are cast. They need to come up with something new if they reboot MIB, perhaps the agents go to an alien world to solve a case, and they are the actual 'aliens' who are being hunted down? I dunno. 21 Jump Street doesn't gel with that franchise.

maybe they're gonna bring the game back into the real world again? Unfortunate that Robin Williams has passed; im sure they would have asked him to come back.

Plummer has a chance for an Oscar nom.

It’s not like they had a bad year before Jumanji. Homecoming and Baby Driver were big hits for them. Underworld and Resident Evil did good WW. The flops they did have weren’t expensive flops. All in all it was a good year. 2018 doesn’t look horrible either with Venom and the animated Spider-Man movie.

I’d be surprised if it did 100m but this would put it squarely in the convo for Best Picture if it happened.

Yeha iw as gonna say the ensemble for the film helped it more than Dwayne Johnson. Jack Black and Kevin Hart are popular comedians.

You should do our own research. There are jungles in Africa, most notably The Congo, the second largest tropical rainforest in the world.
