  1. Despicable Me is definitely worth the praise, while it's as good as some of the movies already listed, it's definitely a very strong movie (much better than the sequel).
  2. For one, the people who sit on the top would have their feet dangling in front of the faces of those on the bottom.
  3. 1.Bullock is a completely different age than Shailene, if they are considering one actress for the role I guarantee you they won't be considering the other due to the large age difference. The exact same thing goes for Jolie and Johansson (although Shailene is probably a bigger draw on her own than Johansson) 2.JLaw will probably be considered before Shailene in many cases, you are right, but it solely depends on the type of role in this one. 3.Hathaway, Winslet, Adams, Portman, Aniston, and Chastain aren't major draws and aren't going to be playing roles that Shailene is playing either way. 4.Shailene is definitely a bigger draw than Emma Stone, she hasn't proven herself yet, Shailene has. 5.Almost any director would rather have Shailene over Kristen Stewart, Shailene is the much bigger draw right now and a much better actress to work with.
  4. 69 Animal House Adjusted this is the biggest comedy of all-time, and not only that it has the R rating on it as well yet it still neared 500m in its adjusted domestic total. Animal House is a true breakout and has proven its relevance in culture and staying power through how much it has influenced comedies that would follow it. I'd be tempted to say there won't be another comedy that adjusts over this one, and it'll be a long time till we get a comedy that is able to get over its adjusted total unadjusted.
  5. You're right, The LEGO Movie isn't even overrated, and nowhere near as much as Frozen.
  6. I really hope Hollywood starts catching onto some of these Box Office trends 2012 1.The Hunger Games breaks out as a 400m hit with a female (JLaw) as the title hero. 2.Breaking Dawn Part 2 finishes its franchise on a high note box office wise at 292m 3.Brave rebounds from Cars 2 despite being a movie about a mother and daughter and very feministic themes. 4.Snow White and the Huntsman proves to be a strong success with a female in the action hero lead. 5.Les Miserables becomes one of the biggest musicals ever by having a wide appeal to the female audience. 6.Magic Mike becomes a Summer breakout hit by being a movie about male strippers, female driven success. 7.The Vow becomes a breakout success as one of the largest Valentines Day romantic movies 2013 1.Frozen (an animated musical about princesses and sisterhood) wins the year World Wide. 2.Catching Fire wins the year domestically. 3.Gravity rakes in 270m in October while also setting the opening weekend record with much thanks to Bullock's star power. 4.The Great Gatsby proves to be fantastic counter-marketing with major female appeal, becoming one of the Summer's big success stories. 5.The Heat becomes the biggest comedy of the year with Bullock and McCarthy in the lead. 6.We're the Millers proves to have great female appeal and legs itself to 150m in August. 7.Identity Thief becomes one of pre-Summer 2013's few hits with McCarthy drawing in a large audience and legging it out. 2014 1.Maleficent is huge due to Jolie drawing power. 2.Shailene becomes a consistent Box Office and critically acclaimed pull with Fault and Divergent very soon after Jlaw proved her viability. (And that was with Fault solely marketing to the audience that was already sold) 3.Melissa McCarthy proves her Box Office pull by raking in 80m DOM on a movie that sold on her name alone (not even quality, simply female star power). 4.Lucy becomes one of the breakout hits of July due to Scarlet Johansson star power. 5.Guardians of the Galaxy becomes Marvel's highest grossing movie without Iron Man in it and wins the summer within the month of August (with a possibility of it even beating two of the Iron Man films), it also has the highest percentage of female attendance from any Marvel movie. 6.Mockingjay Part 1 is going to be another guaranteed 350m+ hit 7.Unbroken is currently poised to do big business (And high potential for acclaim) with Jolie behind the directing wheel. 8.Fifty Shades of Grey boasts huge buzz (summer blockbuster level) after the first trailer which came out 7 month prior to release.
  7. I really like Frozen, but it definitely got very overrated very quickly. It's definitely not one of the top few animations (or even WDAS specific animations) like many of the Frozenites claim it to be. Don't get that across as me disliking it though, I put it on my top 10 over 2013.
  8. No, because Disney's marketing is essential to what got Cap 2 that high in the first place. A Paramount MCU would have still been successful, but I doubt even the Avengers could have been as big as it was without Disney. Disney is the marketing god, and Paramount owned MCU was simply untapped potential (as we see now).
  9. Shailene is a fantastic actress, 1.She was the saving grace of Divergent 2.She brought the emotional weight to the Fault in Our Stars, almost any other actress could have failed easily in that role and without an extremely strong Hazel there was no way TFiOS would have been a good movie. 3.She was possibly the best part of the Spectacular Now and that says a lot considering Miles Teller slayed his role and the movie itself was phenomenal.
  10. MU and Brave are underrated on these forums, but still have no place above many of the movies already listed.
  11. Yeah, 21 JS is fairly close.However here is one a lot of people are overlooking (despite only a third of it or so taking place in high school)Boyhood.
  12. He always overpredicts, true. However, I'm not going to cut Kal slack for over predicting if none of us can.
  13. Kal had predictions up in the 90m range, he way overshot. Sure he did predict a breakout, both those of us predicting in the mid 40s were closer than him
  14. Sin city two was originally projected over 20m OW, I'm not saying dolphin tale 2 won't hit around 18m, but it does not have a lock on that weekend
  15. I dislike both of those greatly but I'd rather see Maleficent over transformers
  16. Guardians had a sub-30% drop and it's still barely under 20m. Those are some fantastic legs. It may actually increase for the 3 day Labor Day weekend followed by more minuscule drops till Maze Runner.It could very easily be in first till maze runner
  17. Eww, why is Pocahantas on here, that movie has one good song and that's about all the good it has
  18. Yeah, the academy has so many annoying bias' on what movies and people get nominated. It does make me irritated that just because a movie didn't come out in the October-December time frame doesn't mean it can't be Oscar worthy. That is going to be the bane to any major nominations for movies such as Grand Budapest Hotel, and possibly Boyhood.
  19. Please no, out of all of Pixar's good movies Toy Story 3 is by far their most overpraised. I still really like it, but the nostalgic ending is pretty much the only thing people ever talk about when mentioning Toy Story 3. I already know it'll be the Incredibles that'll win Pixar and I am fine with that, I love that movie, I wish it would be Nemo though.
