Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken getting a directing nom over Hardhome is an lol. I wish Emmys didn't default actors from shows for the nod like Dinklage. I love Dinklage but he didn't do much this season to warrant a nod, especially compared to Kit.

So how did Unbowed, Unbent, and Unbroken get the directing nomination over Hardhome?

While 65m for ant-man is true from an economic standpoint this new guy has a point. You have 100m dollars to spend on a movie, you could make Ant-Man or Minions. While both will make a profit, itd be much better to invest that 100m in Minions because it will yield the higher return. (Just an example I know marvel can't make Minions) However, Marvel budgets usually range on the 200m end, if Ant-Man is only on the 100m end budget wise, it could prove to be a much better investment than say The Dark World because it only has to make half as much money to wield a profit. If it gets 400-500m WW itd be a bigger success than Dark World, and possibly Winter Soldier. Biggest difference here though is Winter Soldier and The Dark World will both increase awareness (and profit) for future crossovers like Civil War and The Avengers, and merchandising is going to be much more popular for them than Ant-Man. Tl;dr Don't go into Opportunity Cost when on a box office forum because the discussion would only be long and painstaking for a single movie.

I'm in just Id flip Rogue Nation with Good Dinosaur

I also think that a lot of the marketing budget was payed for by sponsors and deals because having minions on a brand would help the brand.

I've seen Elf more than Id like, it's the most popular Christmas time movie of this generation.

If we don't let any of the old men vote Abrams Docter Miller Spielberg Tarantino

I'm rooting for Kit to get an underdog mom for Hardhome

What's up with you always copying other people's bets but just trying to undercut them by a bit?

I'd bet it passes the 1.3b mark, i think you're underestimating it.

I bet 50 points Ant-Man opens over 55m 2 people I bet 50 point Trainwreck opens under 25m 2 people I bet 50 points Inside Out has an under 30 percent drop 4 people I bet 50 points Inside Out is over Jurassic World this weekend 2 people

For a small budget its some great animation.

I'm currently visiting family in Alabama and so I don't have my list with me. I'll keep this up when I get back saturday

1) Will Ant Man open to more than 70 million? NO 2) Will Ant Man open to more than 80 million? NO 3) Will Minions fall less than 45%? NO 4) Will IO finish ahead of JW? YES 5) Will Trainwreck open to more than 20 million? NO 6) Will Terminator drop more than 45%? YES 7) Will Spy drop less than 45%? YES 8) Will Self/Less be in the top 10? NO 9) Will Baahubali fall more than 55% YES 10) Will Ted have a Friday increase of more than 25%? NO 11) Will any film increase more than 58% on Saturday? YES 12) Will Minions have a Thursday increase? YES 10/12 3000 11/12 4000 12/12 6000 What finishes in spots 5 Jurassic World 7 Magic Mike XXL 8 The Gallows 9 TED 2 2000 each 3000 bonus if all 4 are right Bonus 1: What will Ant Man make this weekend? 68.567m Bonus 2: What will Minions make on Friday? 17.676m Bonus 3: What will Trainwreck make on Friday? 7.564m

I couldn't remember the studio so I checked imdb, I believe you're correct on that though. And I'm counting made for TV movies as long as they're feature length (there aren't many though on here).

It's nice to think Universal went from 0 100m OWs to 3 and 1 200m one.

isn't animated. Were you thinking of a different movie, possibly Oops, I think so, sorry about that!

Seeing how well many animated movies have been doing lately, as well as doing individual countdown lists, I decided I would do a countdown of my top 100 animated movies of all time. First off here is a list of my 10 that just missed the list (in no particular order)

A Inside Out Jurassic World Mad Max: Fury Road B Avengers: Age of Ultron Cinderella The DUFF Furious 7 Kingsman: The Secret Service The Last 5 Years Minions Pitch Perfect 2 C Chappie Insurgent Jupiter Ascending Terminator: Genisys Tomorrowland D Blackhat Get Hard Max Mortdecai T3ken F Fifty Shades of Grey Hot Pursuit Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 Seventh Son

Its a very watchable and passable form of entertainment. Its kind of like a quick candy bar while you're checking out at an isle. There's not much substance (obviously) but its a quick bit of satisfaction. Not all of the bits hit as well as the others, and the movie loses a lot by not having Gru and the kids, but it keeps you entertained. Its not as good as DM2, and doesn't come close to the surprise delight DM1 was, but its serviceable and kids will eat it up. C+ if you don't have kids, B if you do. So I'll average it at B-
