I personally think Gitesh is unaware of these forums and their existence

I’m going to say if they did it wouldn’t be like the animated version. However, no I think they’ll ultimately avoid that one because of backlash.

Black Panther could very well be gunning for largest Superhero movie Adjusted. Would need to pass 708m or so. At the very least unadjusted looks like a solid bet. Wow.

Probably Mortal Engines

But simply being the best is the best qualifier, so those are just the perks.

That used to be me, but then I realized I always shuffled previous numbers 1s and 2s out and in while Raiders always stayed constant. I had Sunset at number 1 at one point before I stabilized. It’s the perfect choice. Spielberg, Harrison Ford, a classic, an adventure blockbuster, not too mainstream for a top choice but not pretentious, old enough so you don’t look like a casual but not so old that you’re an old fart, an academy award nominee that didn’t win BP (winning BP disqualifies a movie from being number 1). Plus it’s just simply the best.

Give it a few years, young Padawan and you’ll realize Raiders is the solid number 1.

Black Panther needs 421m to pass The Avengers for biggest comic book movie of all time. It’ll need a 3.08x Multi to do so, it definitely has a decent shot. To beat Avengers Adjusted and be the largest Adjusted comic book movie ever it needs 506.2m and a 3.5x Multi. That’d mean it’d have to be the second leggiest comic book movie of all time behind Wonder Woman. This is a much tougher goal, and while we don’t have an indication of legs, I’m going to go out on a limb and say unlikely but possible. Jumanji needs 33m to pass Wonder Woman for #3 2017 DOM (no supes in top 3 DOM!). To do that it needs a 5.3x Multi off of this weekend. Doable based on its legs, but definitely not guaranteed. Showman needs 33.5m to pass Grease and be the second largest live action musical (and largest original musical). It needs a 7x Multi off of this weekend to do so, also very doable based off of its legs, but no guaranteed Peter Rabbit needs 46m to break 100m. It needs a 3.9x multi off of this weekend to hit it. Probably a 30-40% chance or so of that, for out of the butt percentage prediction. 50 Shades need 22m to break 100m. It needs a 2.35x Multi after this weekend to hit it. There’s a decent chance of that happening, probably 50/50.

All of them are GOAT movies. Sunrise is in my top 5, sunset in my top 25 and midnight in my top 50 or so.

It could potentially play frontloaded and land right in the low 500m range, but I also don’t see under 500m. WoM is great, it’s just a question of whether the audience interested in it has already rushed out to see it or not.

Probably not because President’s Day inflates this weekend, unlike Avengers/JW I believe. But not impossible.

Bets on the next breakout this year? Im thinking Love, Simon hits 100m DOM

Based off the OW demos it should actually be something like 18.9%, but that’s still a lot (given even with something like TFA, less than a third of the overall population actually saw it in theaters)

I was definitely rooting for this to get over 200m, crazy how it actually did it and is potentially going for the Monday unadjusted record.

Marvel makes movies, DC Makes films, Michael Bay makes ART MOVIES

I just watched the Crazy Ex season 2 finale HOLY FUCKING SHIT WOW That was a killer of an episode. I might just buy season 3 instead of waiting for it to go on Netflix. I’m so excited to watch this spiral into madness. Also on a side note, that was an emotional finale, Rebecca Bloom’s really good in this role. Lots of nice points about mental illness that get explored.

I’m just going to predict a Get Out win, just in case the preferential ballot keeps the trend of going screwy. I’m too up in the air on TB/SOW to predict so I’ll just opt out and go for the long shot.

Rth liked this post too! 60mMmMmM Sunday confirmed?

They’re all great. Citizen Kane you need to be mentally ready for a slower oldie. Apocalypse Now is probably the most modern of those 5, then close encounters. Amadeus is really fun, and not just fun for a period piece Psycho is a classic (I mean they all are, but it’ll feel the most like watching a classic)

I may or may not have just made a catfish account with a bio stating “Just hopped the border wall a few years ago to vote for Hillary 50 times, looking for some juicy gay love”.

Did you just assume my gender?

Yeah, it’s a nonsensical abbreviation. The point of an abbreviation is to save space, so there’s no reason to add that extra M. It’d like trying to say XX instead of 100. Well, we do use Greek letters for math. But even then, MM is an incorrect Roman numeral notation for 1 million anyways.
