    1 Billion movies 2014 (What will be 2014's Frozen?)

    in International Box Office

    Posted

    Which 2014 Movies Could Reach $1 Billion? (cont.)
    by Ray Subers
     
    Originals
     
    Godzilla (May)
     
    Big-budget disaster movies tend to draw huge crowds, and Godzilla is a brand that resonates with global audiences. Back in 1998, Roland Emmerich's Godzilla earned $379 million worldwide; with the expanded foreign market and drastically higher ticket prices, it's hard to imagine this new movie earning a penny less than $500 million. Still, even if it does twice as much business as last Summer's Pacific Rim, it would still be well short of $1 billion. Odds: 15%
     
    Maleficent (May)
     
    Back in 2010, Alice in Wonderland became one of the rare "original" movies to earn over $1 billion worldwide. Remodeling iconic fantasies in big-budget live-action form has since become a major part of Disney's strategy. Unfortunately, Oz The Great and Powerful earned less than half as much as Alice in Wonderland, suggesting that movie's success was an anomaly. Featuring the Sleeping Beauty villain as the protagonist, Maleficent is an even tougher sell. Odds: 10%
     
    Guardians of the Galaxy (August)
     
    The Marvel Cinematic Universe is massively popular, and has delivered two $1 billion movies in the past two years (The Avengers, Iron Man 3). Guardians of the Galaxy has a very tenuous connection to those movies, and seems a bit too strange to become a global sensation. Still, never count out big-budget sci-fi: five years ago, who would have predicted a movie about Na'vi was going to earn over $2.7 billion? Odds: 5%
     
    Interstellar (November)
     
    Director Christopher Nolan's last three movies have earned over $2.9 billion worldwide. While two of those involved Batman, it's undeniable that Nolan is a major box office draw. His next movie Interstellar is currently shrouded in mystery, though it's at least known that it involves scientists attempting to travel through a wormhole in space. Assuming the movie mostly delivers on its promise, it's hard to imagine it earns much less than Nolan's 2010 hit Inception ($825 million). Odds: 25%
     
    Big Hero 6 (November)
     
    Disney Animation is coming off their biggest hit yet in Frozen, which is poised to pass $1.1 billion in the next week or two. The next movie from the animation house is Big Hero 6, which will also benefit from its Marvel roots. Still, similar Disney Animation movie Wreck-It Ralph opened at the same time in 2012 and couldn't crack $500 million. Earning twice as much would be surprising. Odds: 5%

    Which 2014 Movies Could Reach $1 Billion?

    by Ray Subers

    April 8, 2014

     

    Here the odds on some of 2014's biggest movies, broken down in to two categories: "sequels" and "originals."

     

    Sequels

     

    Captain America: The Winter Soldier (April)

     

    By the end of its first weekend in the U.S., the Captain America sequel had already earned over $300 million worldwide. With strong reviews and good word-of-mouth, it seems like a safe bet that The Winter Soldier can wind up above Thor: The Dark World ($645 million). Still, it would require incredible holds to get to $1 billion, and it's going to run in to tough competition from The Amazing Spider-Man 2 beginning in mid-April. Odds: 10%

     

    The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (May)

     

    The Spider-Man character has always had a strong worldwide presence: all four of the movies so far have earned over $750 million. However, even with 3D premiums, 2012's The Amazing Spider-Man was the lowest-grossing one so far, which suggests this series has lost some of its luster.

     

    The Amazing Spider-Man 2 does have a number of advantages, though. First, it has a better release date—the first weekend of May has historically been the best place to launch a comic book movie, and both The Avengers and Iron Man 3 recently over-performed in this spot. It also ups the ante with a handful of villains, including fan favorite Green Goblin.

     

    Still, The Amazing Spider-Man only received a so-so response, which makes two underwhelming Spider-Man movies in a row. That's not a good trend, and usually foreshadows declining grosses. As of now, the best-case scenario for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is probably around $850 million worldwide. Odds: 20%

     

    X-Men: Days of Future Past (May)

     

    Bringing together the original cast and the First Class cast, X-Men: Days of Future Past is being positioned as the Avengers of X-Men movies. The original team delivers a strong jolt of nostalgia, while the First Class group has a significantly higher profile now than they did three years ago (in particular, Jennifer Lawrence is now a global superstar). Add in an exciting, high-stakes story involving time travel, and Days of Future Past is guaranteed to be the highest-grossing X-Men movie yet.

     

    Unfortunately, the X-Men franchise doesn't have the greatest track record at the box office. Its domestic high is $234.4 million (2006's X-Men: The Last Stand), while its overseas high is $282.3 million (last year's The Wolverine). If it can grow the audience like The Avengers or The Dark Knight, it will clear $1 billion, but the odds of that happening are low. Odds: 20%.

     

    How to Train Your Dragon 2 (June)

     

    The first How to Train Your Dragon earned just shy of $500 million worldwide in early 2010. With goodwill from that well-received installment, and with a Summer that's oddly lacking animated competition, How to Train Your Dragon 2 is going to see significantly higher numbers. Last Summer's Despicable Me 2 leveraged its strong brand in to a 79 percent increase: if Dragon 2 does the same, it will fall just short of $900 million. Odds: 25%

     

    Transformers: Age of Extinction (June)

     

    From day one, the Transformers franchise was a huge moneymaker. It reached new heights with the third installment, Transformers: Dark of the Moon, which earned over $1.12 billion worldwide (currently sixth all-time). While Age of Extinction loses Shia LaBeouf, it adds Mark Wahlberg and dinosaur robots (so, probably a net gain).

     

    With the questionable quality of the past two installments—and the general franchise fatigue that usually sets in by a fourth entry—Age of Extinction will almost certainly take a dip at the domestic box office. It's foolish to think this is made for U.S. audiences, though, and it should hold relatively steady overseas. In particular, look for it to put up record numbers in China: the last one earned over $165 million there, and Age of Extinction is partially set in the country. Odds: 70%

     

    Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (July)

     

    The first Apes reboot—2011's Rise of the Planet of the Apes—earned $482 million worldwide, and remains well-liked three years later. The sequel takes the story in an exciting new direction, pitting apes against humans in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. With a strong mid-July release date and the addition of 3D, it's undoubtedly going to get a big bump over its predecessor.

     

    As with most of these other movies, though, the odds are extremely low that a sequel can double its predecessor's grosses. As a result, Apes is a very unlikely $1 billion contender. Odds: 15%

     

    The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1 (November)

     

    The Hunger Games: Catching Fire earned $865 million worldwide, which was a 25 percent improvement over its predecessor. If Mockingjay Part 1 experienced a similar boost, it would wind up close to $1.1 billion.

     

    The odds of that happening again are slim. The first half of the Mockingjay book is largely set-up, and diverts significantly from the Hunger Games structure (there aren't any "games" this time around). Penultimate chapters in the Harry Potter and Twilight franchises—both of which were also the first half of a final book—only gained two percent on their predecessors. Mockingjay Part 1 will almost certainly do better than this, but $1 billion still isn't a lock. Odds: 40%

     

    The Hobbit: There and Back Again (December)

     

    The first Hobbit movie made it just past $1 billion, while The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug petered out around $950 million. The final installment will likely get back over $1 billion: audiences seemed to enjoy Smaug more than its predecessor, and series conclusions tend to see increased attendance. Odds: 55%

    I'm a big fan of the Korean culture: music, cinema, variety/reality shows, I've watched all kinds :D so yeah, I know a lot. Sounds a bit weird but the one celebrity in SK I want to meet the most is Yoo Jae Suk. What a man.Ha Ji Won is a great actress, and she's so down to earth and beautiful :wub:

     

    Really it doesn't sound weird at all, there's a reason he's the most popular celebrity in Korea even though he's not that good looking or anything. I'd love to meet him :P

     

    Ha Ji Won is probably the only actress in Korea who can play the kind of roles she does (lead female role in an action film), and yet she excels in other genres too such as drama, comedy, romance etc.

    I watched quite a few of his TV works: My name is Kim Sam Soon, Snow Queen, Worlds Within (though I dropped that one quite early) and of course Secret Garden (I'm also a fan of Ha Ji Won)On the movies front, I think the only one of his I've watched is A Millionaire's First Love.

     

    Well, you've watched more than me I think :P I've only watched a millionaire's first love and secret garden.

     

    Many ladies over here are gaga over him <_< females in the 20-30 age group will probably be a strong demo for Fatal.

     

    I'm a huge huge fan of Ha Ji Won :D it's great that you know so many Korean actors

    I searched up about The Fatal Encounter and saw that it starred Hyun Bin, is that like his return to the big screen for the first time since getting out of the army?

     

    From what I know, South Korea loves him (I'm also a fan), I could see that movie being huge, which is great, cause that's overdue. We haven't seen a truly big local release for months.

     

    Yes, this is his first film since 2011. Hyun bin will of course be the main draw but there are many other popular actor/actresses besides him and if the story line is good enough then it could break out big time :) 

     

    You're right about a good local movie being overdue, the last one to do any decent numbers was miss granny way back in January. Local films need to recover if the box office is to increase over the previous year, hollywood films alone won't do it. 

     

    Have you seen any of hyun bin's previous works??

    I'm sure they will but I hope they advertise the sing-along really well. There was a lot of troubling news in sk of scuffles occuring between people who went to the sing-along without knowing it was a sing-along and people who went there to sing. Of course Disney Korea is really nothing compared to disney Japan so I'm sure nothing like that will occur :) I hope the Japanese audience embrace it fully!

    I dont question why adults watch a toon 10 tmes in a week or buy dolls. Thats their thing. Im about the numbers, keeps my mind sharp, my thing.. if you "get the statistical outlier-type deal" then why ask in the first place, then assume there should be a passion about the underlying subject. Dude. Rooting for something fail is just a waste of time and energy. Be constructive.

    Obviously I "got it" after listening to what you said otherwise I wouldn't have asked. Following box office runs for the pure love of numbers isn't common, most people are fans of the movies they track closely. Seriously no one's out to get you or anything, so relax :)
