    It's PG-13 and is likely to play to a larger crowd, but that's certainly not what they're hoping for in numbers given its opening date.

    What's funny is that the numbers AOU is going to wind up doing is roughly what most people said was the ceiling for Avengers, given that no Marvel movie had ever done more than roughly 300M. It's Avengers that is the outlier, not AoU.

    Tomorrowland - 58/71 Mad Max - 34/46 PP2 - 31/41 AoU - 24/33 Poltergeist - 21/27 I am seeing little to no buzz for Poltergeist.

    Isn't this a bigger opening day by $5, even if it doesn't go up?

    Yeah, Breaking Dawn mainly got sporked heavily by the outside audience, as it was the most mockable of the series. Mockinjay was fairly controversial, but I still think it's fairly well received. Allegiant, on the other hand, a large section of the audience just flat-out despises the ending.

    So Insurgent continues the pattern of incredibly steady YA series. With a bit more competition, this will probably finish roughly 10M off the original. Still think there might be sizable decreases for the final part. That last book is NOT liked.

    If any Marvel film this year had an argument to make for best picture, it was probably Winter Soldier, which was one of the best spy/conspiracy thrillers in years.

    Yeah, no way Depp isn't playing the Ringmaster.

    This is a more offbeat cartoon, but I think it can do numbers roughly equivalent to the first Spongebob.

    This was an odd little phenomenon that had its day. This will come and go with a gross in the 50M range, which will likely still be some sort of success for the people involved.

    Looks like 50 Shades is going to wind up with a gross roughly equivalent to Twilight, maybe 10M higher or so. Unlike the Twilight sequels, though, I don't expect to see it increase for the sequels.

    Spongebob over 50 Shades domestic when all is said and done?

    That looks amazing. How long has it been since we had a big-budget R-rated haunted house epic? Bold prediction - this will be the top-grossing R-rated movie of 2015.

    Definitely not in lead actress. There's a history of some comedy performances getting supporting nods, like Robert Downey Jr. in Tropic Thunder and Melissa McCarthy in Bridesmaids. But it's a long shot either way.

    Huh? His biggest hit is a male-skewing comedy, the Jump Street series. I think he needs to get away from action-drama and stick to action-comedy. That's where his forte is. He's goofy in a dumb-jock way, and is really good at it.

    The fan base of TMNT was basically in a screaming rage for all the development process of the movie, and then they still showed up en masse for the opening weekend. GI Joe had a similar effect, although not as loud. I'm not expecting this to be TMNT level big, because the property never was, but as long as the property looks remotely intact (read - not Ghostbusters) they'll show up. After all, they can't scream about how the producers botched it without seeing the movie.

    I would say Tommy is probably the only truly iconic Power Ranger, given that he came back as a mentor over a decade after his stint as an original member. All the others don't really matter to the majority of the fan base at this point. Especially since one of the original five is dead and likely won't be recast out of respect.
  21. Ray G
    I doubt it. Power Rangers is not a classic. It's a campy nostalgia-fest. As long as they give it better production values than the show (not hard) and don't lose all the humor and weirdness, the fans will be happy. They'll gripe (they always do), but overall it'll be a winner. The biggest mistake they can make, though, is to make it dark and violent. If they do that, it might very well bomb.

    I don't really anticipate Ghostbusters or King Arthur being box office powerhouses. Ghostbusters in particular seems to have been met with mixed reaction from the core fan base, to put it gently. Something will likely move back or forward a week, though.
  23. Ray G
    Keep in mind Valentine's Day was PG-13, making it a perfectly acceptable date movie for couples of pretty much any age. 50 Shades has a much more limited range.
  24. Ray G
    I think so. The two smaller hand-drawn films will split that vote, Big Hero 6 doesn't seem to have any real heat behind it, and The Boxtrolls will get two votes from old men who really like cheese.

    34/105. A fall movie with good reviews and legs. After a notoriously bratty tween hacks into the North Pole's central computer and finds out that he's at the top of the naughty list, he only has one week to get off it by doing as many good deeds as possible. Wings of Steel
